First off, I love this meme Legend of Korra kiss meme so much. Second off…the look on Korra’s face is priceless.

Hm. Interesting. Me, my brother and four of my cousins are April babies. — Tanya B.
Guess humans have a mating season after all.
I refuse to believe that my birthday (March 5) is more common than March 6th. It feels like most people I know born in early March are born on the 6th (or the 3rd)
One of the cleverest things in Lawrence I think - I’m not sure whose idea it was, probably John Box - as you know Peter is given these robes fairly early on when he’s accepted by the Arabs, and then the rot starts to set in. And what they did was they gradually changed the material of which his Arab clothes were made, and they made it thinner and thinner until it was just muslin. At the end, he looked almost ghost-like, because the clothes he was wearing were the exact copies of the rich silk he wore at the beginning but they were almost transparent. It gave a kind of faded look which worked a treat. Nobody ever spots it. - David Lean
DOZE EYES!
No but really, great movie!

All these past few years, I’ve had to deal with the brunt of what “Red Sox Nation” has acted towards other fans. I have to be the one to apologize for them, I have to be the one who has to hide my embarrassment after I try to explain that Red Sox fans are actually pretty cool because some asshole fans is acting like an entitled douchebag. I have to be the one who gets judged upon whenever I don a Red Sox cap and I’m walking in a sea of other team’s fans. But I’ve kept on. I’ve kept trying to say “Oh yeah, not all of us are like that” (which is true) and trying to hand wave some of the douchery as “pink hats” (I hate that term).
I’ve also had to put up with endless amounts of doomsday prophets of the keyboard typing their manifests of how the Red Sox are going to fail and fail spectacularly. I’ve had to endure fans booing players who shouldn’t be the ones who are booed (JD Drew, Keith Foulke, actually any player who has done well w/ the Red Sox but yet act like they don’t care) but yet letting others off the hook who probably deserve it. And I’ve had to try to insist that Red Sox fans aren’t racist all the while hearing horror stories like Darnell McDonald getting the N-word spray painted on his car a year go in Boston….or hearing someone call a player a derogatory word implying their ethnicity or race. I’ve tried, I’ve really tried….and I had succeeded at least at first. But right now….I just…
Guys — I have nothing.
For the first time in a long time, I got nothing fan-wise. I got nothing to hand my hat on with this team. They’ve been playing like shit, nothing is going right, and it just feels like they’re under some sort of black cloud. Last season, I felt like the games were being fixed (this is my lone crazy fan tinfoil hat thing…that I only half-believe…see? I’m realistic enough), but this season is different. I just…I’m frustrated and I’m upset. Shit, I feel worse now than I did in September 29th of last season where everything went to shit in the 9th.
The only time I ever felt this shitty at least other than last season’s end was after the Red Sox blew a lead in 2007. Itw as September and against the Yankees. Okajima had blew a save, but yet from that moment…it was more me giving my heart to the team in spite of the loss. That was the moment I knew I really loved that team. This is its polar opposite. While I want to see them do well and I still like certain players…I just…I don’t know. I feel like someone whose watching someone close to them destroy themselves. You want to help, you want to believe in them…but everything is just telling you to walk away for your own good. Well…not 100% because honestly, that’s not fair to really use as a full metaphor.
I’ve run out of positivity. The well is dry and I don’t’ know if it’ll ever be filled again. I’m just so angry at this team. At this fan base, this FUCKING FANBASE that has turned something that I want to enjoy wholeheartedly into feeling like a US diplomat visiting any other country, particularly one that hates us. You feel like you have to apologize for everything and trying to explain things to the other fans. And I’ve just grown tired of it. I’m just tired of it all….
I want to be a fan. I want to stay a fan. I’ll stay a fan. I want to see them do well. I’m just…I’m done with feeling like I have to apologize for being a fan. I’m done with having to deal with this negativity. I’m done with having to endure all these bloody stupid losses. I feel like I’m a nomad of a Red Sox fan. I don’t fit in with Red Sox Nation but the other team’s fans seem to initially judge me. And I hate having to feel the need to apologize.
I need to get some damn perspective and clear my head…I’m sick of not enjoying baseball… and upon retrospect, I’m glad that I bought and Expos hat in April. And quite honestly, I dunno who hate the Red Sox more — Yankee fans or Red Sox fans. (I’m sorry, I say that all the time…but it’s true)
But of course, I could change my mind in a few days….we’ll see
I came across this set of art today during my usual internet travels. I don’t know where their originally from, but I got a huge kick out of them.
Enjoy!
And my personal favorite….
If Bert Cooper’s book isn’t named “Macho Business Donkey Wrestler”, I will be disappoint.
This song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of forever…
EDIT: In light of recent events in the fandom, I felt as if a simple change to the last gif would make this photoset more relevant.
I regret nothing.
I’m not a Makorra shipper by any means (I don’t hate it, I just have a preference), but shit did this make me laugh. From Ikki being the singer to the creators trolling and knocking over the boat. Awesome.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all at the ballpark …
I’m going to buy that mask and I’m doing to go to Fenway with it and it’s going to be epic!

So I’ve been starting to wonder if there is such thing as fate/destiny or something like that:
Usually my thoughts on this stuff is more along the lines of this:
Now as you know, I hung out with my friend who I have conflicting feelings for on Wednesday:
And he said some things that have got those conflicting feelings even more conflicted:
And have caused some of my friends to go like this:
And then the whole idea of fate and destiny came into my mind yesterday when I found out some things that blew my mind:
Now as you may not know, my grandma and his grandma grew up together and were pretty friendly. My mom’s side of the family and his mom’s side of the family know each other fairly well. I knew this since we first met and my reaction was like this:
To most this would be understated, but I live in Rhode Island where this is common practice:
NOW here’s where it gets weird:
Yesterday, I come to find out that my dad and his dad went to high school together:
And they knew each other well enough that his dad signed my dad’s yearbook (they went to a huge high school, keep in mind):
And now I’m all like this:
And a little bit of this:
I’m not completely insane, right? Because I seriously am wondering….like it’s freaking me out wondering.
