Description
When I was a kid, my siblings and I used to play Sherlock Holmes a lot. I come from a long line of nerds. We used to fight over who got to be Holmes. I usually won.In honor of playtimes long past, I give you Scratch and Sibelius as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively. They seem to be having fun.
Also, yeah, I know it's blurry, I've been trying to fix that for the past hour and a half. I'll try again later.

I was all for dissecting it in the name of Science, but my dad threw it away and told me not to sound so gleeful about desecrating the dead. But not long after, we got to reassemble a rat skeleton from an owl pellet in my Biology class, so it's all good.
Moffat is an evil puppet master, and we are all his playthings. At this point, I don't think it matters what he puts us through, we are too far gone to ever leave him. And I'm pretty sure Hubert Cumberdale is one of the finger puppets? I don't know. I watched them all with my mom once when the rest of the family was off visiting relatives or something, and now we like to quote them at each other. For some reason whenever the two of us are alone, we end up watching scary things. Neither of us react well to scary things, and we end up completely paranoid, hiding behind the couch like a couple of children, and yet we refuse to stop.
They are so married. As far as slash goes, I really only ship Sherlock/Watson and Nicholas/Danny (from Hot Fuzz). Well, and Hamlet/Horatio, but that was mostly because I was trying to annoy my teacher by trying to find evidence for it in the text. We had many a debate on Hamlet's sexuality. XD
It always comes back to bees, doesn't it?
She was a rather horrible child. She is also my cousin, sadly, so I have had to babysit her a lot over the years. I can't really get a real job because I don't have a car, so I don't really have a way to get to it (the buses here are kinda unreliable). Those kids sound awesome, I wish I had fun childs to watch.
That sounds like fun. Thanks to my crazy amounts of pills, I'm not allowed to have alcohol or I'll fall over and die. I have to go through life completely sober. It's a frightening thought.

D: I'm sure dead things aren't going to protest being chopped up in the name of Science. They're kind of there to be experimented on! 
<3 He is, rather. Ohh, and yes, I'm sure you're right, he's a finger-puppet. XD Your mum sounds cool, I wouldn't dream of watching Salad Fingers with mine. She'd just tell me I have disturbingly unpleasant tastes and leave me to it. XD My brother, on the other hand, loves impersonating both him and the creepy old man from Family Guy? He's so good at it. Keeps us entertained on long train journeys.
I should really re-watch Hot Fuzz. Haven't seen it in a while, but I loved it so much. Shaun of the Dead's one of my favourite films, as well. Me and the group of friends I Doctor Who roleplay with have a whole plan of action sorted for the zombie apocalypse, down to what each of us will pack and who'll be sacrificed first, should it come to it. XD (sidetracked there) But yeah! Nicholas/Danny's interesting, I'll keep it in mind when I re-watch
...yes.
Aww, damn. How old is she now? And yeahh, any of my friends from the countryside without cars have a similar problem. I'm very lucky to live almost next door to an Underground station in London... buses are still shite, though.
D: Well, yes, I advise avoiding the falling-over-and-dying, then. How come you gotta take so many pills, if it's okay to ask? Sounds pretty crap.

That's what I told him! I'm all for chopping things up in the name of Science! We got to chop up a baby pig once, and it was the most fun thing we did in the entire class. Except for the time someone hid under the teacher's desk for half the class and then popped out grinning like the Joker and nearly gave us all a heart attack.
My mother is quite amazing. She thinks a lot of what I like is disturbingly unpleasant, but she watches it anyway because she enjoys mocking me. She calls me Dumbass. It's a term of endearment. XD And that sounds like a fun brother. My brother inherited the same talent for imitation that my dad has: none whatsoever. It doesn't matter what voice he tries to do, it comes out sounding like some weird mixture of Indian and Scottish that, while hilarious, isn't something that happens in nature.
Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead are two of my favorite movies, ever. I used to try to formulate a plan in case of zombie apocalypse, but I couldn't get anyone to work with me because they don't believe it will ever happen, and I was like THAT'S NOT THE POINT but whatever. I know boring people. And...I also hang out at that kink meme anonymously! What are the odds?
She is 11 now, and still acts like that. Stupid kid. You are lucky to live in a place with public transportation. I just have to stay within walking distance. Or make my roommate drive me places.
I have rheumatoid arthritis, which has no known causes and no known cures. However, the effects can be controlled with a drug called methotrexate, which is the same thing they give cancer patients in chemotherapy. Unfortunately, while taking it allows me to walk and hold things, it also is killing my liver. So, I have to take another three pills every day whose sole purpose is to keep the methotrexate from killing me. But at least I get pills now. I used to have to inject everything, and I hate needles. And it is nice being able to walk and hold things again, so I suppose it's all worth it.

Chopping up a pig? That's amazing! Most we ever chopped up was a cow's heart from the butchers; but we got like one each so you could properly get in there yourself. I just remember the smell made me feel kind of sick. People kept picking up their hearts and waving them in my face because I'm vegetarian and therefore an easy target for such a sophisticated brand of humour. XD
Aww, Dumbass :') I think I'm about as good at impersonations as your brother, then! That's exactly it; everything comes out Indian or Scottish. But I can't do a Scottish accent, either. Ohh, and we worked out it's REALLY difficult to do an impression of K9 without accidentally making him a little bit Indian. Try iiiit. XD Or maybe it's just me.
O: EXACTLY! NOT THE POINT. I mean, if there ever IS a zombie apocalypse, the nerds who have spent their time revising suitable weapons and safe hideouts will be the ones laughing. Well, not laughing, I guess it'll be a very lonely and sad existence, but they'll be alive. Ish. ANYWAY in which case, I'll incorporate you into our Plan. We will commandeer a plane from a nearby airbase and pick you up on the way to an as-yet-unspecified tropical island paradise, where we'll wait out the invasion. Yeaah 
D: The arthritis sounds like hell

Aw, we had to share our pigs with four other people. But I ended up in a group with four squeamish people who didn't want to touch anything, so I basically got to just do everything by myself. I had to narrate everything I did so they would know what was going on, though, so that was fun. I sometimes like to narrate my life just for the hell of it. And if you don't mind my asking, what led to you being a vegetarian? I don't think I've ever met one; we don't really have vegetarians in Texas.
I can only do a Scottish accent when I'm trying not to sound Scottish. And I just attempted to sound like K9 and was asked why I suddenly became an Irish robot, so make of that what you will.
I can deal with zombies better than I can deal with most of the living. I think the building I'm in right now is fairly easy to defend, but if the zombies strike when I'm back home, I think I'm fucked. The house is all on the ground floor and is about 70% windows, so I'll definitely need you to come get me. There's a pretty large field by my house, you can land the plane in that.
It is a lovely place, isn't it? Just recently there was a prompt that involved having John played by Dylan Moran or something, ranting about how Sherlock is as mad as a hatstand made of badgers. Made me laugh hard enough to disturb the neighbors.
It was really only hell when we didn't know what it was. I had to go to six different doctors all over Texas (which, bear in mind, is big enough to have, like, five Englands and a Wales in it), so I was sick of being in the car. And then none of them had any fucking clue what was wrong, but none of them wanted to admit it, so they would just sort of go "Hmm, yes...yes, I think I'll need to scan this... yes, your bones are fine, hmm...maybe you broke it and didn't notice?" And then we'd have to drive around some more. And every one of them wanted my blood, since apparently none of them trusted any of the others' tests. I wanted to hit them with my cane. I like not needing it, but sometimes I miss my cane. It was great for hitting people with. But yes, optimism in the face of medical problems is a must! I'm sure that someone will find a solution, and then you can fly airplanes into my field when the zombies come.
I think I am going to die if I don't get a sandwich RIGHT NOW, so I'm gonna go look for one.

Ahahahaa, I love to narrate my life! Just to keep the mind occupied. Emm, I don't know... I don't have a massive moral issue with eating meat or anything, but my mum did, so I was just brought up with it. My little brother's the same, but since then everyone else in the family's gone back to eating meat anyway. I don't know what it tastes like or anything, so it's not like I miss it, and I'm just not curious enough to want to start now. Also I'd probably just puke it back up.
'Top o' the mornin' to ye, master.' Yes, yes, I can hear that. XD
Ahh, excellent! Plan falling into place. I will aim for 'the big field in Texas'. If we do have to pick you up, you'll need a suitable weapon and some food and a... tent, if you have one. AND A GUN. Do you have a gun? No guns here. We just have to resort to bread knives and dodgy homemade artillery. My stepdad's a tree surgeon though, so we have a chainsaw lying around somewhere. Mrrrmmm-nm-nrm-nrm-nnnmmrmmm.
Ahahahahaa XD I genuinely snorted apple juice first time I read that. And the Cake Or Death prompt as well, which I plan to fill as a cartoon strip or something if I'm super bored one day.
Ohh, Christ, that does sound tough. I don't know whether to be appalled or in awe that you had a cane XD but, ugh. (Also, I don't know if it's cosmic forces or co-incidence, but I just got three consecutive spam emails from National Injury Solicitors. I shit you not.) Hurray for it being sorted now

Whenever I narrate my life, the narrator tends to start sounding a bit like Sean Connery for some reason. 
I like the idea of an Irish K9. I think I will now imagine him as Irish whenever I see him. Just for the hell of it.
Yes, aim for the big field with the pond in it that has a half-submerged truck stuck in the middle of it (it was there when we moved in, no idea what the story is behind that). I have a tent. I do not have a gun, but my best friend's family owns a gun shop, so a quick jaunt over to her place and we should have enough ammunition for a lifetime! Luckily I do know how to shoot. We also have what we refer to as the Whuppin' Sticks. They are two very heavy sticks that my dad uses to chase suspicious people away, very good for bashing heads in and also for destroying unruly toasters.
I read it at about 1 in the morning, so I had to work pretty hard to keep myself under control. The cake or death one was great. There was one somewhere that went "Sherlock had a previous relationship with a woman who burned him pretty badly. What exactly happened?" and the reply was "She set him on fire."
A sort of mixture of the two seems to be the traditional response. XD I thought it was funny, but my parents thought I wasn't taking things seriously enough. And speaking of coincidences, I just got a popup advertisement offering a subscription to a magazine entitled "Arthritis Weekly."

Ohh, my life tends to be narrated by Morgan Freeman. Or, occasionally, Stephen Fry. XD And yeahh, it can be a pain when I go out to resteraunts and the like, especially in other countries where vegetarianism is an alien concept... in France, it's pretty much just cheese, bread and salad for a week.
Damnn, I was so going to ask for the story behind the truck as well. Poke around! Fish it out! Okay don't fish it out. Unless there's a chance it still works; in which case it might save our lives when I inevitably crash the plane into a tree/your house/an oversized molehill. We have guns! 
XD I always read them at night, which is why my sleep pattern's so crap... they're just addictive. :'D I haven't seen the fire one, though.
Ohh, don't ever let someone tell you to take things like that more seriously
Wait
OH YEAHHH.
I think the pop-up gods are watching us. I didn't even know there were weekly magazines on arthritis. Mmm, I've really come to appreciate the National Health Service... I heard a stand-up routine that was about how lovely it'd be, to bring an American over here, break their legs, watch them panic about getting loans and things and then tell them 'No... that's not how it works here...' and then watch their faces fill with dawning comprehension and joy. *gives up hiding*

A life narrated by Stephen Fry sounds like the kind of life I want to lead. For some reason, his voice always makes me happy, regardless of what he's actually saying. And France? Well, yeah, I suppose you're a lot closer to France, makes sense you would have been there...I spent a week in Mexico once, only ate two meals with meat in them, and one of those was crickets (a friend dared me, I couldn't refuse).
I always kind of assumed that the truck had something to do with the tornadoes we get sometimes, like it had just been picked up and tossed in there, but then my grandfather kept running his trucks into things, so now I think maybe he just drove into the pond once and didn't tell anyone. XD Yes, we have guns. We also have bows and arrows, if we feel particularly fancy. And we have Whuppin' Sticks. I think we're pretty damn prepared, if I do say so myself. 
They are best read at night, I think. I read one last night about Sherlock being attacked by an alpaca that made me spit my drink all over the desk.
The pop-up gods have been obsessed with selling me magazines for quite some time now. And porn. They keep telling me that I must have porn to be happy. It doesn't matter what I do to my pop-up blocker, they always get through. I'll just be enjoying some pictures of kittens and then NAKED LADIES NAKED LADIES LOOK AT ALL THE NAKED LADIES
XD Get someone from East Texas, take 'em to England, break their legs, and they would drag themselves around with their arms and chase you until you apologized. And then they'd be like, "Apology accepted, now get me some sticks so I can make a splint. Where d'you get a drink around here?"
Ah, therapy. I had to go to therapy back when my teacher thought I was a sociopath. Turns out that no, I'm not, I just didn't like her. XD Anyway, here's to all future cakes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Stephen Fry's got an awesome voice. For some reason, stereotypical Cockney cabbies' voices cheer me up above all others - I've been having the most horrible, depressing day before, and I get in a black cab and the guy goes 'Alright love, where to?' and THAT'S IT, I'm totally cheerful. XD Their voices just SOUND like optimism. Pure liquid optimism. In a mug. Yeaahh~
Mmm, France. So France, being pretty close, is kind of where we go for holidays if we want them to be kinda cheap but pretend to ourselves that it's somewhere exotic. We're really lucky to have family with a holiday house in the south of France, where it's all sunny and wonderful, so we go there once a year. Speaking of odd meat, we found snails in the supermarket there. They looked like kind of... marshmallow consistency, from what I could see. Weird stuff. What were the crickets like?
Ohh, course!! Do tell me about any and all experience you've had with tornadoes and the like; they completely fascinate me. When I was a kid I wanted to be a stormchaser for a bit XD if we get anything resembling strong winds here we think the apocalypse is imminant and everyone hides inside to drink tea. Perhaps it was your grandfather... XD maybe best left unexplained. You're much, much more prepared than us. If the zombies hit now, my weapon of choice is a baseball bat, and even that's technically American. 
That's a defining characteristic of toasters!! I mean, you've clearly been unlucky with the bastards, but they're always a bit rubbish. Evil Toaster. I remember once I was at home on my own and thought my glasses were pretty dirty... cleaned them... still dirty? What TRICKERY is this? At which point I realised the dirt was, infact, clouds of smoke that had filled the room and that both toast and toaster were on fire. Fail. Maybe you DO live in a fictional story!! Maybe I'm imagining you. D: What a terrible thought.
X'D Oh my god, the one where Sherlock's stoned and tripping out, all paranoid... so goddamn funny, I could have cried with laughter. Where's the alpaca one? I haven't read that. XD
As gods go, being gods of pop-ups must be a crap deal. No wonder they love pissing us off. ALWAYS with the porn. Usually girls in front of webcams posing and, I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks it, looking completely ridiculous. NO ONE prances about their own bed with a webcam like that. NO ONE. YOU LOOK STUPID. Also, penis enlargements. Why does the internet feel I desperately need a bigger dick? Quite happy with mine as it is, ta. [/rant]
XD I wouldn't be surprised; I have no intentions of actually kidnapping anyone and breaking their legs. Especially not a Texan. Not to go along with stereotypes but you guys do have a reputation for not appreciating your legs being smashed up, among other things.
Ffff yeah, you're totally a sociopath. XD How did they go about working out if you were or not?
To cake.

That's the same reaction I always had whenever one of my professors from last year would talk. I have absolutely no idea where he came from. Possibly Middle Earth. It was not an accent of this world. A little Irish, a little Cockney, with just a hint of...New Zealander? Seriously, it was impossible to place.
Oo, France sounds nice. I'd like to go to France. Then again, there aren't too many places I don't want to go to. XD When we want to take in exotic locales, we go north and stare at all the snow. It almost never snows in Texas, and when it does it never sticks to the ground, so seeing all the white is mind-blowing. And the crickets were pretty good, actually. Crunchy. Spicy. But that was more because of how it was prepared, I think. Well, I don't know, maybe crickets are naturally spicy.
We do get the occasional tornado, yeah. They absolutely terrified me as a child, but now they're just sort of meh. Like, "Oh, there goes the tornado siren, better get into the closet, then." We have tornado sirens all over the place. And when they test them in the middle of the day, people start running around screaming AIR RAID, AIR RAID, HERE COME THE GERMANS AAAAAAAAHHHHH and it's quite fun. I've never been hit by a huge one. One did go through our house once, took the roof completely off and dumped it in the field, but that was before we lived there. You can still see where it was reconnected in some parts. We like to pretend that it's the apocalypse whenever it rains too much. Not that we don't get rain here, we just don't usually get a lot at once. There's a saying here: if you don't like the weather, wait for five minutes and it'll change. We go through weather pretty quickly here. One day, I shit you not, I woke up to sunshine, then it started raining by the time I made it to school, it was just a little over freezing when I got out, and hailing by the time I went to bed. It's madness, I say, sheer madness!
Americans do seem to be pretty prepared for zombies, but almost every piece of zombie fiction I've ever seen/read predicted that the UK would get their shit together and sort things out first.
I've never met a toaster I liked. Which makes me sad, because I love toast, and they are entirely devoted to toast; we should be on the same side. And yet they refuse to see things my way. I always have to watch them carefully, since sight is pretty much all I have when it comes to detecting fire. Whenever I see smoke, that's really the only time my lack of a sense of smell worries me. What if the world is on fire and I've been blindfolded? I'd have no idea what was going on.
I've often thought that it would be kind of fun to be someone's imaginary friend. I had an imaginary friend when I was about six. His name was Chris, and he was 19 years old. My mom made me get rid of him because he was too old for me. XD
I haven't read that one yet! Now I'll have to look for it...Oh, and here's the one I mentioned: [link]
Also, have you seen the one that gave rise to my favorite sentence ever, "DON'T SHOOT MYCROFT IN HIS FAT"
Whenever I get those webcam girls, I talk to them. They can't hear me, but I talk anyway. "Stop wiggling like that. You look preposterous. What would your mother say. You look like a pig with an itch. Also your wallpaper is TERRIBLE."
The whole "Victoria is a sociopath" thing, or as I like to call it the Psychiatrist Debacle, was one of my more ridiculous escapades. My teacher said said that I had dead eyes, so I had to go see a specialist, who talked to me for about half an hour before pronouncing me "unorthodox, yes, but relatively sane." And then I went back to my normal life, except that I made sure to give her my best dead-eyes glare every time I saw her. I hated her. She was one of those teachers who holds everyone back until the slowest students were caught up, and she wouldn't let me read anything "too advanced" because she didn't want me to be ahead of anyone. Bitch.

*nod* Middle Earth. Possibly Mars. Martian accents are just the sexiest. <3
France IS nice. I've never been to the Alps, where everyone seems to go, but there's the Pyrenees on the border with Spain and they're pretty special. The south's especially lovely; in summer they have fields of sunflowers to harvest the seeds and the oil, I spose. Either way, it looks stunning. Whereabouts do you go for the snow?
XD Spiced crickets would indeed lead to a spicy flavoured cricket. Deductive reasoning skillz, man. Some time you'll have to specifically ask for unspiced cricket.
Your nonchalance in the face of tornadoes is almost scary; over here we do regard them as natural disasters on an apocalyptic level - but that's probably because we only hear about the massive ones, on the news, and we're really not used to them. I remember one went though Manchester a few years ago and it was all 'CLIMATE CHANGE! GOD HATES US! LOCK YOUR DOORS AND PRAAYYY, MOTHERFUCKERS!' which on reflection may have been an overreaction... 
;D You can supply the weapons and the kickass American attitude, I'll supply the tea and the unquenchable British optimism.
Ohh, course!! Damn, I never thought of the lack of smell like that. On the other hand, you've never been on a packed Underground train with people that can't have showered in a few days during evening rush hour. Silver linings and that ^^ And that's so true! It's almost heartbreaking; toasters and toast are a doomed couple from the start. For the only way they can be together is for one to burn the other! 
Awww, poor Chris!!
It was from a relatively early prompt I think; might be a bitch to find... I'll go have a look. Or I would now, but my internet's being... *sigh* internetty. And the alpaca one was hilarious XD thankyou for that. I haven't read the Mycroft-fat-shooting one though, where's that? XD
:') I completely agree. Seriously, are there lonely people at home who get off to that stuff? I find it genuinely annoying. Stupid dancey eye-flirty thing in the corner of my screen. Gtfo. ...XD wallpaper.
It's a pretty good escapade, as escapades go! If your life was a film, that'd be the tagline - 'Unorthodox, yes, but relatively sane.' My English teacher was a complete bitch too; she marked me down a lot to 'make you try a bit harder', which kinda panicked me because I've never completely epic-failed an English class before. And I had depression for about a year all through college, so I kept skipping classes and whenever I actually turned up she'd make me stand up in front of everyone and be all 'Explaiiinn your absence, for you are clearly full of shit'... which needless to say did not encourage me to attend in the slightest. XD
The cake is a lie.

I bet he was from Mars. That explains why he would show up for class wearing blankets.
Ah, pretty pretty Europe. We go to Montana, because my aunt lives there. Lots of mountains, the occasional waterfall, and a surprisingly good musical theatre troupe. Also it is where I encountered three baby foxes sitting in the middle of the road, making foxy laughing noises whenever a car swerved to avoid hitting them. Until their mother came and chased them back into the woods, anyway. Cutest damn thing I've ever seen.
Now I want to go to the store and ask for some unspiced cricket. Make some cricket tamales. Oh, I just had a thought, do you even have tamales over there? I hope you do.
I like how your reaction to tornadoes is my reaction to snow. XD They're just kind of a fact of life here, we get used to 'em. Now floods, floods are scary. They pop up every now and then, when we least expect them. Rarely enough to drown anyone, unless they were really reeeeaaally short, but enough to ruin all your stuff that's not up on a shelf.
Yes, yes, bring tea, definitely. We can do a sort of cultural exchange thing. I will show you the wonders of Texas Tea. You drink a cup of it and wake up two days later in someone's backyard, giggling, surrounded by chickens.
That is a silver lining if I ever saw one. XD THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. THE TOASTERS ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR BELOVED BY...SETTING HER AFLAME...AS YOU DO...
I used to do the same thing! I had a stuffed kangaroo named Timothy and a unicorn named Marie (who are actually sitting on my bed next to me
Hmm, let me see...I have all the prompts that made me laugh saved, I just can never remember which one is which ah here it is [link]
I always have entirely too much fun looking at the decor in those "sexy" pictures. Some of them are very obviously in their grandmother's room, or on one memorable occasion, their younger brother's. Trying to act all sexy when I can see the Thomas the Tank Engine pillows and there are little action figures strewn about, what a turn-on.
Ugh, that teacher sounds horrible. Some of them, you have to wonder why they decided to teach, since it's obvious they hate all living beings. I remember one year, they hired this woman to be some sort of counselor or something, I don't actually know what her job was, but she was basically Umbridge from the Harry Potter series. Same voice and outfits and everything. That was not a fun year, but we ran her off eventually.
Pineapple cake is FAN-FUCKIN'-TASTIC, but for some unknown reason it must be prepared upside-down. Like, you put the pineapple bits in the baking pan first, and then you pour the batter over it, and then once the cake is done you flip the pan over and dump the cake out upside-down, and serve it like that.

'Oh, what now? I'm from Mars - look, I've got a blanket!'
Ohh, that sounds lovely
We do not have tamales!! D: I don't even know how you say tamales. Is it ta-mar-lays? (British accent) What's a tamale?
Ohh, floods sound horrible. How come you get them, then? Are you near a massive and volatile body of water? Sometimes we get them in coastal towns and they're pretty awful, but they're rare enough to headline national news and everything. The closest I came to one was when a nearby river burst and I lived in the countryside, so all the roads to everywhere were blocked. I can just remember the village green being underwater and ducks were going over it and I was all 'OH MY GOD we should throw them a football and see if they can play
I need Texas tea. I need it. I also need a neighbour with chickens.
Actually, I think WE'RE getting chickens!! Cos mum asked if I wanted to name them, and I said NO, because I know her tricksy ways, and she wants to trick me out of getting to name the new cats, because I shall call them Ziggy Stardust, Sherlock Holmes and Tardis.
Aw, I still have my teddy, Henry. He's falling apart <3 Sometimes now if I feel awful, cuddling him actually helps XD Try it! Fascinating psychological experiments to be done there.
That's a good idea, I should really save them. Trouble with going anon is you haven't a clue where you've been; I said I'd art-fill a prompt which had Sherlock as a total goth and now I can't find it for the life of me XD Let me know if you see it.
NOT THE FAAATTT XD
Here's the one where he's high
Serious, little brother's room is a little bit creepy. Unless that was HER ROOM
Oh my god Umbridge. I kinda loved that book where they were all 'BRING HER DOWN' because it was that lovely student vs. teacher spirit that we all know and love. Sucks you had the Muggle equivalent for a while, though. How exactly did you see her off? XD
Sounds delightful

Aaaaaaaand I just spat tea all over my desk. I will never be able to watch that scene again without laughing. Well, I already laughed, so...laughing harder.
The university I'm at is actually a little bit farther north than my hometown, so I see a bit more snow here than I used to. I'll look out the window and see white and just go "Fuck it, not going to class today then," and go back to bed. Snow turns ordinarily reasonable people into projectile-flinging maniacs, so I stay indoors when I see it. Snowballs are only funny when I'm the one throwing them.
Also [link]
Tamales are...I never actually thought about what they are. They're...corn meal? Mushed into a handy, easy-to carry lump? And full of meat or vegetables or cheese or whatever. Or crickets. In the neighborhood I used to live in, instead of an ice cream truck we had the Tamale Van. XD And yeah, that's actually how we pronounce it too. I don't think it's an accurate pronunciation, but it's what everyone says.
We get floods because every now and then it will rain too much and we live in a sort of low area, so it just fills up. It's pretty rare, I've only ever actually been in two of them, but they're by far the most annoying force of nature we have to deal with.
Texas tea is basically sugar in liquid form, with a single tea leaf for flavor. And a shot of caffeine, because why the hell not.
You're getting chickens?! Cool! Evidently my parents have decided that they want to raise goats. Not sure what brought that on, but we will soon be goat farmers. I want to name one of them Leopold because I think that's a good name for a goat but my mom says we're just going to name them all "Goat." THIS IS BORING, MOTHER, WE MUST GIVE THEM NAMES.
I remember one toy that I had, Mr. Cow. He was a cow. I wasn't very original. Anyway, I took him everywhere with me, and he fell apart all the time. His arms would come off, his eyes, his tail, on one memorable occasion his head. I would give him to my grandma and she would sew him up good as new, and I'd take him out again. And then just a few days ago my mom told me that whenever my grandma took him to fix up they would just buy a new one and I never noticed.
Oo, that one sounds familiar. Also hilarious. I'll be on the lookout for it.
Oh god, just nearly choked on my tea again. Thank you for linking me that. I swear, I KNEW THAT GUY. This one party we were at, we found him lying on the floor rolling around and if we asked what he was doing he would scream "I'm cold!" And another time he tried to convince me that oranges and apples were basically the same thing. XD
Thomas fetish? 
Well, we pretty much did exactly what the students of Hogwarts did: we started an all-out prank war. We spray-painted her car yellow. Some people threw water balloons at her for a few days. Someone else put mustard all over the doorknob to her office. I come from a town full of delinquents, can you tell?
Talk about urges to bake, this weekend my sister and I suddenly decided in a fit of Christmas cheer/nerdiness to make gingerbread Tardises. We got blue icing EVERYWHERE.

Ohh, the snow has well and truly hit now. We've had about half a week of the country's public transport in a mess, and two days where it's been proper snowy in London. I really hope it snows again overnight, just cos I'll be in central London tomorrow and I'd love to see like... the Houses of Parliament; Big Ben, Trafalgar Square... all covered in snow
Anyway, as a result, in my personal world then the snow has been nothing but a cold and miserable Blanket of Death upon the land. ROLL ME OUTSIDE
I'm gonna have to try a tamale then... I'll keep an eye out in resteraunts over there.
Your goats totally win over our chickens XD Not literally like if we pitched them against each other in a fight, but goats are definitely more Awesome. In fact, yeahh, literally!! In a goats vs. chickens battle royale, goats would probably win. Unless they were proper vicious chickens. I'm not sure. Someone should test that. And yeahh, calling them all Goat is missing a huge opportunity! How many are there, and what'd you call them if it was up to you?
XD... 
Ohhh, that's actually tragic D: I had a teddy up till when I was 3, who I loved very dearly, when while we were at the cinema some kids stole him and ran away. I was understandably devastated and all parent's attempts to buy me similar teddies fell rather flat. Then I got Henry and he's lasted ever since. Tralala~
Ahahahaaa! Stoned antics are SO good; I mean, often people just fall asleep, but that doesn't count as an antic I don't think, so I mean... active antics. A woman tried to tell me that she was in fact a country that had fled the atlas in a daring and brave Great Escape type thing. There's a website where people enter the ideas they have while high; some are AMAZING, like one guy who realised that to save energy we should make fridge doors transparant, to save the amount of cold air that gets out while we open the door and STARE INSIDE to work out what we want for dinner. Genius <3
Sounds epic, to be honest, but also saddening as she must have been pretty damn awful to provoke that kind of conflict. XD SHE HAD IT COMING. Or maybe you guys are evil.

Ooo, that sounds so PRETTY. So far we haven't had any snow. Plenty of cold, but no snow.
Congratulations on your new job! Shame about your fellow workers. But at least the view is interesting! My last job, I was the youngest employee by about thirty years, and I worked in the basement so there were no windows. I was basically a character from a Dickens novel. It was at a printing business. My primary responsibility was, I'm not even joking, moving stacks of paper from the right side of the table to the left side of the table. They also made me be Catcher. Which, now that I think about it, probably needs some kind of explanation; the paper-folding machine would fold paper very quickly, any way you programmed it to, but the tray that it would spit the folded bits onto had fallen off long ago, so it was the Catcher's job to catch the pamphlets and newsletters and whatever else as they shot out, stack them in the correct boxes, and then run back in time to catch the next ones. And not lose any fingers in the process. That machine was vicious.
And now I'm curious, is there some trick to sitting in chairs that I was previously unaware of? I'm worried that I've been doing it wrong all this time.
I wouldn't count the chickens out yet. Every chicken I've ever met has been a bloodthirsty fucker, but then again the same can be said for every goat I've met... Anyway, we apparently are getting four goats, but I don't know the boy/girl ratio yet, so coming up with names is kind of difficult. For boys I like Leopold and Vladimir, and for girls I'm thinking Cordelia and Sheridan. I always give my animals ridiculous people-names for some reason.
I think if we let stoned people run the world, everything would be a lot more mellow. We could all just nap and hug and speculate at each other instead of fighting. Also we would have FUCKING AMAZING FRIDGES, OMG.
She had it coming, definitely! She would roam the halls and go into random classrooms, looking for people to get into trouble. This one girl in my Chemistry class? Got detention from this woman for SMILING TOO MUCH. She said, and I quote, "This is a place for learning, not for having fun." And she said it all with this horrible little grin on her face, and the whole class was in an uproar, 'cause we know that girl, she just smiled all the time, what did happiness ever do to you, you horrible bitch? We had to run her off. Well, I say we, I didn't really do much. I was kind of an accomplice, though; I caught a boy pissing all over the floor outside her office and I didn't sound an alarm.
Reading back over this, I am again struck by the feeling that I live in some sort of fictional story, because WHAT IS MY LIFE, THIS SHIT DOES NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE, I AM IN A CARTOON OR SOMETHING
There are pictures on my dad's camera, and if he ever remembers to email them to me I'm gonna upload them for the world to gaze upon. Though they are a bit lumpier than the actual Tardis. Also more turquoise than blue. And instead of a light at the top, they have gumdrops.

Hehe, great idea!
I wonder where they're going...

Thanks!
They are obviously running in hot pursuit of some dastardly villian. Probably Ross.

Hahaha! xD
Maybe, or they are just trying to find who is stealing cookies from Jenna's or or even... try to stop Danny to do the perfect robbery.

Aaw, they looks so cute as Sherlock and Watson! I especially like Sibelius' hat. I like how you made Scratch more squirrel like.

Thank you! There are squirrels EVERYWHERE here, so Scratch ended up being a little bit based on them.
