Kind of giggling because I never even considered that aspect when giving out prompts – we have the whole range of weather where I live.

lol. It’s funny, honestly. And just my luck if I’m honest. I have a habit of getting prompts for challenges that I’m like… huh? But that’s what google and friends who live up north are for. 

We usually do get snow at least twice a winter around here, this year was just odd. And, we’re never prepared for any kind of snow that’s more than a light dusting. A few years back we had a ton of snow storms and power went out in the northern part of the state. Pipes froze all over the place and roofs caved in. It was a disaster.

Weather around here is either windy or hot. That’s pretty much it. 

We live in a valley in the mountains up north, so we get winds like none other, freezing weather in the winter with a ton of snow, and hot af summer weather. Today was just muggy because it was hot as hell plus thunderstorms which ehhh. But. 

Has this happened before btw? Where I’ve tossed you a prompt you were honestly lost on? (Cause if it has I might actually start feeling a little bad lol – the people I know usually get the weird prompts because I know if they can handle it – but if I’ve tossed you some that have been too weird just lemme know!)

Ugh! That’s way too much weather. I know I complain about the heat a lot, but I prefer the dry heat to muggy/humid weather or snow. I’ll keep my boring ol’ desert lol. Though, there are big mountains in the city so those probably get snow. I don’t venture up there much. Too many bears and snakes (I saw a rattlesnake once on a fifth grade field trip – scared the crap out of me). 

It’s happened once or twice but it wa more that I’d never written it before. I got pet play once and that was something I’d never even explored…not complaining though because that was a lot of fun. The colors were tricky but that was fine. I don’t mind getting weird or different prompts, though. That’s part of why I sign up for challenges. I like to push myself so don’t ever worry about giving me weird stuff. If it’s waaay too far out of my comfort zone I’ll let you know. 🙂 

Now I’m really giggling – wild animals are just kinda… The norm here. We have deer, raccoons and the occasional big cat wander through our front yards regularly and I’ve had to help a friend save a baby moose stuck in a rancher’s fence – Never been face to face with a bear but we do have them, they just stay to themselves unless you bug ‘em. Some foxes and wolves too – but again, they keep to themselves. Lots of little critters (fucking hate the squirrels where I live – they’re assholes. I’d rather deal with a fucking bobcat than a pissed off squirrel). Less snakes (too cold) but we have a few (ten species? I think?) but only the rattlesnake is dangerous – the rest aren’t gonna hurt you if you get bit – I’m a big snake lover though so. 

And shit – you’ve been doing rscc that long? Man – time flies. Next months theme is gonna be one that’ll be weird as hell for folks – I’m doing it on account of kink bingo, hoping to help some folks fill a square – a specific brand of adult novelty toy that has quite a reputation for being… Unique.

Geewiz. I’ll stick to the illusion that wild animals are far away. My city is weird as hell, honestly. Like, we have a forest in the middle of the city and mountains not that far from where my grandma lives. (Not to mention the freaking amusement park a block away from my old high school. That has nothing to do with the conversation, I just have to keep mentioning it because it’s weird and random as hell.) So every spring we get bears (usually small ones) wandering into the richer neighbourhoods near the base of the mountains. And there are the occasional coyotes but they don’t like to hang around too much and I’ve heard them more than seen them. We get prairie dogs a lot though. And, you can’t do anything about prairie dogs if they decide to make your yard home because they’re a protected species. Lots of snakes and rats though. I actually mind the rats more, even though I prefer rodents to snakes, because people around here literally get the plauge from rats. My ex was a snake lover. He had a couple of pythons, which I didn’t mind as long as I didn’t have to be around when he fed them. Most of the wild ones around here are rattlers though, and I’m not screwing around with those. 

I have! I think I caught the second round? I’ve missed a few months here and there but I’ve been doing it pretty much since I found it. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year though. Also, now I’m curious… I kinda want to know but I also want to be surprised. 

Please help or at least reblog?

nightmaredean:

I just made a fundraiser to help with this vet bill for my dog. I cannot afford the full bill, neither can anyone else. So I decided to ask for help, the kicker is that we only have 2 months to come up with the rest of the bill amount.

More info:

My dog Boone has to have dental surgery to remove a couple unhealthy teeth. The bill is way more than I can personally afford. $600 would cover ALL of the remaining bill amount. Because he also has an infection due to the unhealthy teeth, it had to be treated asap so the infection wouldn’t spread. I couldn’t lose him to something that can be treated. I just cannot afford to pay $1000 dollars right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please, if you can, donate or reblog so people can see this

No, but seriously, do you know how amazing Vincent Price is?

image

Not just as an actor, although he was a blast to watch in everything he did.  He’s one of those actors who’s just clearly having a whale of a time, no matter how bad the film is.  He’s just genuinely happy to be there (it makes his villains a particular delight, and he played a LOT of them).

image

But did you know that he was also on the PFLAG board after his daughter came out to him?  And that he was one of the earliest celebrities to speak out against the silence surrounding the AIDS epidemic?

image

Did you know that when his daughter came out to him, he admitted to her that it had been difficult for him during his first two marriages, because his wives had not been pleased to find out that their husband was just as interested in men as they were?

image

That’s right, kids, Vincent Price was BISEXUAL AS FUCK, and it was one of those open Hollywood secrets.  And his wife Coral Browne?  The one he grew old with and wrote cookbooks with and was basically ridiculously sweet with?

image
image

Also bisexual as fuck.  They were the queer power couple of Hollywood in the 70s.  His daughter, Victoria, grew up around Rock Hudson and members of the LGBT community.  When she came out, Vincent Price became a board member of PFLAG and was just about the most accepting and awesome dad.

image

Did you know that Vincent Price played Oscar Wilde in a one-man play, and when it was denounced by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant, he dismissed her right back, saying that Oscar Wilde had already come up with a term for her: a Woman of No Importance?  Because Vincent Price was deliciously witty and an awesome person.

image

Let me conclude with a quote from his daughter (from this article, where I got a lot of this information):

‘“In a funny way, and I think I’m going to cry, he understood me at 22 better than I understood myself then,” Price concluded. “Of course, he was in his 70s and lived a hell of a lot longer than I had, and he understood that at the end of the day it’s about who and what and how we love. And I have not been a person who has been very successful at conventional relationships, but loving well and loving deeply has been the most important thing to me.”’

Happy birthday, Vincent Price.  You were a gem of an actor, and an even greater human being.

OBJECTION: all of this is absolutely fantastic and I just have to add…

oh that’s the “cure” I hate the most

Honestly, me, too. Like, she doesn’t even know that I’m not Christian so I think that makes it even worse. Like, what, am I just supposed to pray harder and suddenly I’ll feel better? I’ve tried. I tried for years to pray away all the “bad” things that were wrong with me but it didn’t work. I wish instead of trying to figure out how to “talk to me” about my illness and get me to go to church with her she’d actually talk to me about it and listen when I tell her it’s a illness, not a mindset

I’ve been on two accidental movie dates. People who arrive at the movies in pairs should have to fill out surveys about what their relationship is with their companion, and what their expectation is from this particular encounter.

lol. See, but that would make sense. I’ve thought about handing out a  dating apllications with things like “how do you feel about bisexuality?” “is aromanticism real?” “are you willing to get me ice cream at 3 am?” “can you do your own damn laundry? can you cook? will you do these things yourself?” “opinion on black licorice?” “what do you hope for at the end of this date?” 

Also, can we ban movie dates? They’re kind of terrible dates. You have to sit in a dark room for three hours and not talk to the person you’re on a date with. How about coffee or mini golf instead. Dates should be for getting to know a person. 

I think I accidentally went on a date once with a guy friend. But idk to this day. We went and saw the first Captain America movie and like I’m pretty sure he thought it was a date but I was just going to see the movie and have fun. Then I blurted out how much I loved Felicia Day and would be very in favour of kissing her if the chance ever arose and things just got awkward.

lol. That’s so awkward but kind of fun.
