Tfw Your Deadlines On Tuesday And Digital Print Says There’s A ‘couple Days Wait’ But They’re

I feel a special kinship with people who use the same color notebook for a class as me.

I've seen the movie quite a few times and have decided that Petra and the teacher (who's name has escaped me) have been having an affair since she came into his class. Because he thinks so highly of her he decides James is not suited for her. It seems to me she is depicted as an intelligent character. Far too intelligent for the teacher. The teacher tried and failed to break them up by failing James by using the cards that was his job and sexuality. Honestly it still confuses me.... I love it!

So which of the endings do you think is true? Or do you not think any of them actually happened?

Brother: Oh my gosh, look at this!

Me: Yes. Time Magazine. With President Obama.

Brother: NO! What is he doing?

Me: Smiling?

Brother: At what?

Me: The ground?

Brother: So...?

Me: He don't know he's beautiful.

Mom: What the heck is wrong with my children?

I Climbed the Gates of Heaven

A short poem written by me, loosely based off the concept from this piece of literature. 

                                  I Climbed the Gates of Heaven A white, soft light appears behind my eyelids. I open them slowly but the light gets no brighter. It is comforting and warm. The world comes into focus. Smiling people and joy. Reunions occur all around me. My grandparents are there, happy and young. They wrap me in a hug. But there is one face I don't see. I break from their embrace and call out. My voice is musical, beautiful. But it receives no reply. I run down the street, gold beneath my feet. But I don't take the time to admire it. There is a greater beauty in wait. My family calls after me, laughing. "What is the rush, my child?" But I don't turn back. When I reach it, it is huge, standing tall over everything. I cannot see the top from the ground. The pearl is cold to the touch but somehow still soft. Reaching out, I place my feet and pull myself up the bars. I hear them calling me. But I don't look back. I slip a couple times and almost fall. My muscles tired and aching. But I don't hesitate. When I at last reach the top, I swing my legs over and sit. The wails of the lonely reach my ears. The cries of the left behind. I climbed the gates of heaven. I descend slowly and the farther I go, the colder it gets. The bars become more solid, more unforgiving. I falter more often but I do not stop. At the bottom I am surrounded by thick fog. The air is stagnant yet harsh and I gasp loudly. But everything is muted here. I step around those howling by the entrance. Demanding admittance to where I have left. They have no eyes for me nor I for them. I call your name again but it is rough to my ears. I call louder, pushing my way into the fog. Like a whisper, I hear you call back. I am running now, falling often on the uneven ground. But I pick myself up, running faster. Pushed on by that whisper of you. The last time I fall I am caught by your arms. A white light emerges from where your hands touch mine. You are soft and warm. As I sigh out your name my voice is again musical. Your smile is radiant. The fog recedes in its wake. I climbed the gates of heaven. I climbed the gates of heaven, To be with you, Because you, Are all the heaven I need. 

So I have this fun thing where I can't see out of my left eye so in gym class I got hit in the face with a basketball because I couldn't see it coming. Bent my glasses up pretty badly and gave me this nice bruise-cut-combo. Oh well. Isn't the first time and it won't be the last.

so i’ve been thinking a lot about the moment when karen comes to visit matt after he’s beaten by nobu

he answers the door without wearing his glasses, which i believe is the first time since he’s spoken to karen about being blind in the first episode (when he takes them off and then immediately puts them back on) that he’s not worn them when she’s there; he even puts his glasses back on when he’s sitting with foggy going over files and karen comes in 

so matt answers the door looking like this

[image: screencap of matt, battered and bruised, no glasses.]

karen and him exchange what passes for a greeting between them at this point, and then matt immediately goes to the counter and puts his glasses on while karen takes off her coat

[images: two screencaps of karen taking off her coat in the hallway while matt puts on his glasses at the counter]

then he grabs a beer and turns back around, glasses firmly in place

[image: matt, beer in hand, standing behind the counter with his glasses on.]

so i’ve been thinking about why he would put his glasses on so quickly if he’s willing to answer the door without them on. because it makes sense that he answers the door without them because he’s hurt and tired and sick of everything, whatever reason he’s had to keep them on seems unimportant in light of everything that’s happened, etc. and i’d say it would make sense that he went to the door without his glasses, realized it was karen, and then put his glasses back on (because karen is different, because it’s Karen, because he knows how karen reacted to seeing his eyes before) but matt has supersenses, matt knows it’s karen long before karen reaches the door. so what makes him put his glasses on? 

i think what’s different is this 

[image: karen stands in the doorway, matt turned away from her. CC says: “you look like shit.”]

matt hears karen say that, hears karen say “you look like shit,” and matt murdock puts on his glasses, which do next to nothing to hide his abundant injuries or uncomfortable gait or obvious pain, especially given that karen has already seen them. matt murdock, who is so rarely seen without his glasses in the comics and the show, who wears glasses even in situations that seem incredibly deeply impractical, even in his own home, even with people who know him well (and here’s a post about this, and tw for some well-meaning ableism + in-comics ableism) - when karen says “you look like shit,” he puts on his glasses. because matt associates looking like shit with people being able to see his eyes- with being visibly disabled. because matt has to live with not only all of the guilt that comes with his daredevilling and with his super senses and with only being able to do so much, but also with internalized ableism.

I just started Song of Achilles and it is already slowly killing me. 

Hey :) I'm also looking to find a Sherlock calendar, why is it so hard to find?! They are either out of stock, or really expensive, or don't ship to where I am, it's so annoying! Please tell me if you find one for around $12/ 10 euros :) I'll let you know too if I find one :) Have you checked danilo com? I was about trying to buy off it, but it didn't work for me, and now a few days later, the price has risen! :( But maybe the price is fine for you, especially if you don't need shipping costs :)

I have no idea why they are so hard to find! Thank you so much for your website suggestion, it did work for me. I decided it was worth the higher price. :)

I'll let you know if it comes up anywhere else! 

Thanks again! Have a great day :)
