Monday, or AWESOME EXPLODING IN YOUR FACE

1. Kelly, after brainstorming Unsung YA, then organizing it, and then pulling all of us in with her meme skills, compiled all the posts. I think this is fantastic! I want to make out with it, except it is not a person and that would be awkward. Much like this silence.

There are so many awesome books! My TBR list is massive and I've added so many. FRIENDS, I implore you to stop bringing up all these great books I cannot read! I have to read Medea and Oliver Twist and I simply don't have time for all the delicious YA I have to read, and when I do have time I spend it reading My Chemical Romance RPF and daydreaming about gay werewolf adventures, and I blame this on someone who will remain nameless. (THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND THEY OWE ME A MANUSCRIPT.)

Fuck, I want some gay werewolves, guys, I'm not even kidding.

2. This Lady Gaga medley makes me wish I owned her albums. Why don't I own her albums? I do not understand myself. :|

3. I finished my Northanger Abbey paper with some generous help from Nymeth, who is my Favorite Close Reader (she does this in all her reviews! Everyone should read her.), justira and general_jinjur. They made it more readable but when I uploaded it I was still the only person who had actually given a title (which general_jinjur provided me because basically she is a superhero). Now I feel awkward: not only did I write four pages because I couldn't cheat on my margins and make them .5 inch instead of one inch and couldn't change my font to Courier New 10, I also have a TITLE. No one else gave their essay a title. :| Dammit, everyone in the class is going to be, "ugh, that girl, what a suck up."

I will totally lie about the length and say I didn't notice in my panic over the problems with posting. Why do professors require us to use software they can't even use properly? Surprise! You have to edit the settings to give students posting access! Who would have thought.

4. Life size Monopoly! I wish my library did cool things like this, but no, it's all "table top RPG this" and "gendered event that". Vomit.

5. Final Fantasy Exchange is moving to AO3 which I've discussed, but now we have collections and if it wasn't 2am and I hadn't just come off newsletter duty exhausted and bleary after forcing myself awake to do it, I would be all up in's. Tomorrow, Collections! Tomorrow.

Speaking of the newsletter, we've expanded more. justira made us DA icons! I love artwork.

I found this video a few weeks ago. I posted about it on Twitter, but never shared it here! Now I am going to, because it is awesome and I still heart it. Hilariously, it has become more pertinent to my life recently!

Fan-made, proving that fans are awesome. :D
