I watched that a bunch of times, because I wasn't sure. I don't think so. He seems to have just been following them. My guess is one of the bad dudes on a crow/raven shot the fairy, and the hummingbird fell, and the guy caught it.

Haha, cliched it is, but I still like Saint-Saëns! I'm a bigger fan of Debussy, though, I admit.

Maybe this is an unpopular thought, but I kinda liked the trailer. The Snow Patrol song was an unusual song choice—they could have gone in a different direction and made it seem like the funny, family-friendly film I'm sure it is. And that would have been good too. But I think the tone of the music helped sell the…

I am not a Megan Fox fan, but those pictures are really cute. And I love her swimsuit cover-up skirt thing! (Yes, I'm positive that's what you call it.)

Use aloe vera with lidocaine in it. That stuff is the SHIT. I just slather that stuff all over my burn, and it cools it off and makes the pain go away for awhile! It's wondrous, and perfect for applying before putting on a bra (and while wearing the bra) or anything with snappy elastic. Also great for just before bed,…

Disney WAS for babies back then. Pbbbbbbbt at the babies!

I guess I disagree with the connections made. I think Sailor Captain America is Moon, Sailor Iron Man is Mars, Sailor Thor is Venus, Sailor Hawkeye is Jupiter, and Sailor Hulk is Mercury (I could also see Saturn). I cannot really figure out who Sailor Black Widow is (Chibi, maybe?), and I'm pretty sure Loki is…

I feel you on the dad thing.

There was just something about the way my parents explained my adoption to me. My mom would tell me, "I always wanted to adopt a baby girl from Korea. We worked really hard to get you. We spent a lot of money to bring you over." She was trying to be reassuring about it, but it made me feel more like a pet than…

When my parents divorced, they spent the better part of five years trying to poison me against each other. Badmouthing the other in front of me, asking them to be a middle-man in their arguments, and using me, their 10-year-old daughter, as a weapon. This, coupled with my adoption (which, at the time, made me feel…

So, this is kinda ridiculous, but...

Yay for my new state (MN) and for my home state (IA)!

That is awesome. I have been accused many times of chronic bitchface: by men, by boys, by teachers, by my sister-in-law, by my roommates, and probably by my own cat (they're judgey like that). But I was born with this face, so if they have a problem with it, they can just build a time machine and go back to stop my…

Porcelain Raft, "Drifting In and Out"

The gun totally malfunctioned when I got my ear pierced once. That was freaking horrible. I thought I was going to die (I was 6, and very overdramatic). I'd probably still think I was going to die if that happened again.

I know a lot of people that pierce their baby's ears. Since they won't remember the pain and discomfort, they say it's better. Also, they grow up learning how to take care of those piercings, I guess. I have no expertise with whether or not this is good for a baby's developing ears (I know they just keep growing, but…

Oh, hey, I liked that. For whatever reason it brought to mind my middle school years, which were the late 90s...and it doesn't really sound a lot like 90s pop, but that's where my head went anyway.

There's a girl I used to work with that was overweight. She lost it all and looks great, but she is the worst fat-shamer I know. Her Facebook just blows up with posts about "fatties." I know where it's coming from, but I still find it appalling.

Amanda Quick was my gateway smut. I'd read a couple trashy novels before then, not overly impressed, but then I read I Thee Wed and suddenly I was hooked. Hooked, I say. I don't even know why. I started winding my way through Amanda Quick, her other pseudonyms, Nora Roberts, etc. etc. I cannot stop. Most of my friends…

And this is probably TMI, but I've noticed something...I'm much less likely to feel like I need to be alone on the days I'm ovulating. It's weird. It's as though my body is all, "Hey! Let's make babies! Babies now!" and wants me to go out, meet people, and then get prego. I'll just have a solid week of wanting to hang…
