and the words, they're everything [wwis 15]

The main theme of this WWIS post is "Getting Ready for the Day."

Or....not.

My most basic instinct.

Yeah I don't have to do that anymore.

I've actually grown pretty fond of my bed in recent years. It has its quirks (the squeaky springs very likely keep my neighbors awake as I habitually toss and turn) but I'm still loath to leave it.

My feet honestly hurt worse after a day of flat-wearing than heel-wearing. How do you keep them on???

All any of us can do.

And a bonus "political" tweet (oh the halcyon days when I only got angry about grammar mistakes).

I quash this reaction all day erry day. Nobody knows what I really think, except sometimes my Twitter followers.

Hello friends! Been a while. I recognize that this is not my most popular segment here on the blog (I even realized a few months ago I'd accidentally used the same set of tweets twice and no one said anything) but I like it. I like feeling funny every once in a while.

NaNoWriMo is going on now.

I mean, that takes SOME talent.

This is probably why I could reach my biceps with my tongue. Working out!

I am at my least feasible when I am a light sweater. Please don't hold that against me (though you are welcome to find a sweater to hold against me, now that it's about to be cold).

Would you wear a light sweater to pick cherries? 

There's...not really any other reason to be grateful for the souls of men in the eternal worlds.

I want to fall into line with pop culture and say "2016 was not swoonworthy." But what I think I meant when I made this tweet (April 2015) was that I hadn't been on a date in a year.

I'm grateful for the souls of men and women in the eternal worlds that are too cute.

Boy do I have spring fever today! So here's a bunch of old status-bot tweets relating to summer. Sort of.

I'm just, I'm not sure there's a better thing than a garden tomato liberally garnished with bacon.

This sounds like my kind of picnic (especially if combined with the previous)

Sometimes leftovers don't always pan out the way you hoped.
Or this might be about a regrettable summer haircut.

Like, do people not know that they're leaving their prints for the sun to shine on? (Sunshine. Relevant.)

Mosquitos are summery. Also finding stuff is a good summer activity (wait of course! geo-caching!)

Sounds like an ideal summer activity to me.

I once took an anatomy course over the summer (this year I'm attempting accounting)

I like imagining what this qualifying sentence could have followed. "She was loved in all the eternal worlds." "Well, most of them."

Yep. When I first randomly placed all these tweets in this post I didn't know they were all going to relate to summer so well (Well. Most of them). They're also not SUPER funny, but I am sure one of the next WWIS installments will be hilarious. #staytuned

In honor of the first snow, here's a bunch of WWIS thingers about me!

My autobiography subtitle

We actually played Don't Eat Pete for FHE a couple months ago and I didn't cheat for once. I also lost immediately (something that I could.not.handle when I was a kid)

I've been going social dancing regularly for a while and I'm still not sure how I feel about lindy hop.

Subtitle of my cookbook

Subtitle of my...fashion magazine? No, this is about actions not appearances. I am always impeccably dressed

I'm hilarious.

I actually think this is why I should teach Gospel Doctrine

NOT ME

It's time to share some more of my favorite status-bot tweets! Today our theme is "Friends and Family."

Usually I'm great with the number of friends I have. This week I've definitely felt like I need more friends.

I do have a lot of acquaintances though. And...awkward speeches are a hallmark of our communication.

Gotta keep up on the local weather news for my siblings.

This is probably about our ultimate frisbee game a couple weeks ago. #doubleteaming

Works like a charm.

I find this so, so romantic.
You can see here for the song I'm quoting.

I probably need this article in my life.

Edit: Here's a bonus one that I made this morning prior to writing up this post. It happens to be surprisingly apt for today.

It wasn't snowing when I made this.

For FHE this week we had a tri-ward activity and one portion of it was speed dating. For some reason. Anyway one of the suggested questions was if we knew what LARP-ing was. And I do! Because, as I told the guy who was shocked and appalled at my knowledge, "I have my finger on the pulse of geek culture."

And these WWIS posts prove it. Well, they more prove that I have a passing knowledge of pop culture, but pop, geek, all the same these days.

For example, this meme recently had a resurgence when the President himself made a video employing it:

Except my hashtag was maybe a little less ironic. I know how taxes work.

I'm not even in these fandoms but I know an awful lot about these franchises (okay, full disclosure, I've watched some of them):

I may as well start writing fanfic, I've got such a handle on these characters!

Speaking of fanfic, no one is surprised at my ability to see Harry Potter in everything.

Tell me you can't see that Potions class. I kind of want to write it.

I know the following tweet makes more sense if you assume it's hockey-related (never seen a hockey game or this movie, but I was a child of the 90's. I've heard of The Mighty Ducks). But that's not where my mind went:

I'm not entirely sure whether Arthur is pop culture or geek culture or just...not culture. And I don't know where Love Ducks falls on that scale either.

This one is the truest of all truisms:

We love recommending books to each other. And to everyone else. Which reminds me, I never did a second-half 2014 roundup. Sorry.

I think this one is SO hilarious. Like, I heard the song the other day and I started laughing because I couldn't stop thinking about how funny I am.

I guess you are what you eat...
