Eh, I didn’t try this time.
I probably should have elaborated a little more in that, because reading it again it seems super arrogant.
“Eh, I didn’t try, so I’ll let Carmen SanDiego live another week.”
Gee, you look good enough to eat.
“This week for AM/PM, we woke up with Kristin (is this the morning after Getting in Bed?)”
You know, that makes perfect sense
You know, I never want to say anything, but with all of these people doing Yoga and stuff in the mornings, I’m always like:How?
I seriously meant to get up last week and go running, laid out the shorts and everything. And I even pried myself out of bed, brushed my teeth slapped water into my face, but while I stood in my unlighted bathroom, I was like,”Hon, this is not happening.” and went back to lay in bed until all of my organs had checked in, which was over an hour later. Maybe two.
I feel the same way.
By the way one good trick to go running in the morning is to just sleep in the clothes you’ll use to run. That way you don’t even have to change
Good suggestion but it would never work for me cause I sleep naked. Wearing clothes to bed is just super uncomfortable lol
During the brief 6 month period where I was able to stick to an AM running habit the ways I managed to stick to it were:
-not hitting snooze, just immediately leaping out of bad telling myself get up get up get up
-visualizing the moment immediately after the run when you feel great for 2 seconds
-running in a real nice park and picturing the part of the run where I made the turn around the lake
-if I missed the morning run doing it in the evening and being annoyed at the lost evening time
-picturing how sad I would feel if i didn’t do it
-not treating one failure as a reason to abandon the effort overall
But like right now I’m back on “I need to start running again” and haven’t done it yet, so like even morning people have problems with this.
Also I like the Nike Runs app. They play applause for you when you finish your run and I am a simple creature.
Oh that’s really nice. Why can’t run keeper do that?
If you could have a harem (it’s COMPLETELY consensual, everyone loves being a part of it and they can be from any source) who would be in it?
Mine would have Carmen SanDeigo, Kim and Anne Possible, the Sailor Senshi, Xena and Gabrielle, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost.
Wait, I’m in your harem? Or actual Carmen SanDiego?
And if it’s me in your harem do I get a sub-harem? Because I want Shane, Sarah Connor, Poussey, Joan Watson, Letty Ortiz and Ronda Rousey in it.
Waitwaitwait! You’re not the real Carmen SanDeigo?!
Would the ringleader of the criminal organisation, V.I.L.E. tell you they’re the ringleader of the criminal organisation, V.I.L.E.?
By the way that stand for Villains’ International League of Evil…
Impersonating yourself would be a great way of hiding in plain sight. No one would go after you because they think you are just a dedicated fangirl instead of the real thing. So yes. Yes you would.
Kate McKinnon and Regina Mills, for sure. I wouldn’t say no to Jessica Jones, either.
Caitlin! I’m starting to believe you’re me. Are you from a parallel universe? Do I have better skin there?
I think it means we are compatible enough that we could handle a poly marriage with Kate McKinnon :D
Till death do us part.
Having a harem seems exhausting. I’d rather just have a cuddle puddle of cats.
A harem once in a while could be fun (maybe once a month?) but otherwise, yes, cats.
Agreed, so much work. I’d be happier with more cats. ALL the cats.
You don’t have to have sex every night, it’s whenever you want and the rest of the time you can snuggle! Plus you can let them sleep with each other if they want so their needs are still being met even if you aren’t in the mood.
That the harem would include plenty of puddy tats is just a given lol =^.^=
I’m gonna go with a Scout Troop instead of a harem, but let’s see:
*Julie Klausner for sass
*Gina Torres/Zoe as my starship captain
*Gina Rodriguez that one time she had an undercut, to look really good in shorts (RESPECTFULLY)
*Kristen Bell as my mom friend / for Frozen singalongs
*Carrie Wade to lead us in a capella arrangements and talk politics
*Heather Hogan as our patronus (also for cat stories)
*FIVE PERFECT DOGS who all know how to wait quietly outside a store and also like swimming
*Kristina Yang for medical emergencies
Love it qg but that sounds more like a space commune then a scout troop lol
haha I could totally go for a space commune, as long as there’s enough space to exercise the dogs
and i mean, let’s get real, my Scout Troop is really probably all my favorite people from A-Camp
*stares off into space daydreaming* maybe one day I’ll get to be one of those people
It’s all true, Mrs Riese’s Mom
I love how you sounded like a shy teenage kid picking Riese up for the Winter Formal
But I didn’t even get to tell her “You have a lovely home.”
wouldn’t I be lucky to take Riese to the Winter Formal! She’s a CEO, a homeowner and a nice Jewish girl
And tall, so tall
It was very aborable the way Carmen phrased it heehee. But if I was gonna take an AS staffer to prom queer girl would definitely be it!
is that a Promposal?
I can’t wait to see the pictures of your prom
Given that I’m 31 I don’t think any school would let me go to prom but if you can find an adult queer prom sure! =^.~=
The LA LGBT Center organizes a prom for their senior citizens every year. The event is called Senior Prom. It’s adorable
Qg, would you do me the honor of flying to LA, cosplaying as old people, and going to Senior Prom with me?
Thank you Ms. SanDiego. ::curtsey::
Your award titles are truly inspired this week. I can’t even pick a favourite.
Also now I’m picturing Carol as The Doctor and that actually works unexpectedly well in my mind.
CAROL AS THE DOCTOR!
Five years ago I had a sourdough start called Hermann, and he brought all the benefits of a pet, companionship, a sense of responsibility, someone to come home to at night, as well as making my bedroom smell like a brewery.
I loved Hermann.
I need to get one of those sourdough starters. Like, immediately.
I’m sure no one will notice if we sometimes cuddle on the couch if I draw the curtains.
Be careful, cuddling with a sourdough starter can give rise to other things
Netflix and grill?
Mmm, yeasty
wait i have a pun
Yeah, you really shouldn’t thrush around in bed with it
Good pun, if I can speak candidaly
Wait so is naming sourdough starters a common trend that I just didn’t know about?
I also imagine that you didn’t have to worry about money either, as they brought home the bread.
He was Hermann the German Friendship cake. I made him into aple cake in the end. BFFs 4 lyf.

The exchange between Orla and Carmen Phillips was so, so, so heartwarming – glad I got to re-read it today in the CAs.
ME TOO
Guys, I just wanted to give y’all a shoutout about how absolutely fabulous you are!
Have a good evening and weekend!
And have a good autumn for those in the northern hemisphere
Good spring for the Southern Hemisphere Straddlers!
And happy equinox to all! (although the equatorial straddlers may not notice it / care because everyday is the equinox on the equator)
ooh Cleo, what is an equinox? (File it under things-I-will-have-to-look-up-when-homeschooling-my-kids)
An equinox is the moment in which the plane of Earth’s equator passes through the center of the Sun’s disk,[2] which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September.
On an equinox, day and night are of approximately equal duration all over the planet. They are not exactly equal, however, due to the angular size of the sun and atmospheric refraction. The word is derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (equal) and nox (genitive noctis) (night).
Good luck homeschooling! That seems incredibly brave.
you too, Amidola! (and you too are fabulous.)
Thanks, queer girl!!! The Netflix and Denial Award just made my week! :)
Thanks, Caitlin, for the assist!
WHY DOESN’T YOUR NETFLIX UNDERSTAND YOU? <3
I’m pretty Netflix is a straight guy cause he doesn’t understand me either. It keep suggesting straight romances when only watch lesbian ones.
*Glares at Netflix* STOP TRYING TO CONVERT ME YOU STRAIGHT BASTARD!
YOU CANT STREAM AWAY THE GAY!
STREAM THE GAY TO STAY
Now if only we could stream the gay to SPREAD!
I’m here for you! And no joke, I really did laugh our loud at your Netflix being a Richard. Netflix is a poor listener…
This whole tread deserves comment awards
Wow what a day!
