the Doctor Who news has not been good for my study habits. All I want to do right now is soak up Eleven/River fanworks like a sponge.

(I am working late at night in a 24-hour pharmacy. There are only three customers in the store:
a scruffy but clean young couple and another gentleman. The woman in the young couple is very heavily pregnant, and her partner is picking up the range of baby hats we carry and holding them up against her stomach, then looking at the prices and sadly putting them back. They pick up a packet of the cheapest pain medication we carry and bring it to the counter.)
Female Customer:
“I’m sorry, but can you please ask the pharmacist if these are safe for me to take?”
Me:
“Of course!”
(While we’re waiting for the pharmacist to come out, they tell me they’re expecting their daughter any day now. The pharmacist has been watching the young couple since they came in.)
Pharmacist:
“These are fine, but can I ask why you need them?”
Female Customer:
“Oh, I have a horrible cough that’s making my back ache even worse. I can’t get to sleep.”
(The pharmacist goes through a list of cough medicines safe for her to take, before the young man shakes his head with tears in his eyes.)
Male Customer:
“I’m sorry, I’ve just lost my job and we really can’t afford any of those. Sorry for wasting your time.”
Pharmacist:
“That’s okay, but this packet is damaged, and legally I can’t let you take it. Seeing as it was the last one, let me and [my name] go look in the back for some more.”
(The pharmacist takes me out the back, where he puts three packets of name brand painkillers, four bottles of name brand cough syrup, a wheat bag for her back, a tin of formula, a packet of newborn nappies and a few of the hats the couple was looking at into a box. He hands me the box and tells me to take it out to them. I do and they both burst into tears, thanking us over and over again. They leave with huge smiles on their faces.)
Female Customer:
“Thank you again!”
Other Customer:
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but over hear. Did you say you just lost your job at [local company]?”
Male Customer:
“Yes, I was an IT tech.”
Other Customer:
“I own [other computer store in the area], and I’m looking for a new tech. Can you start tomorrow?”
(There were tears all round that night. A week later, the young woman brought in her beautiful daughter and a giant batch of cupcakes for the pharmacy staff. Best night at work ever!)

The only thing I dislike about being mixed is that my eyelids are semifolded and thus after a night of crying then sleeping, both the fold and the eyelid get puffy to the point where they will be nearly swollen shut tomorrow. 

It’s gonna take a LOT of cold water to fix this one.

irony-rocks: justplainsomething: rdjismydrug: Q:Your first encounter? A: “She had to make sure that I didn’t take drugs during the filming of Gothika. Initially she thought I was a sad and pathetic person. She told me that I was a miserable, an inveterate pessimist. And I thought: bitch, tell me the number of your room ” [-] You realize this is why RDJ loves Pepper and Tony, right? Here’s this woman who is so smart and strong and has to deal with this little shit of a guy with too many vices and he figures out he needs to be a better person not just for her, but for himself. It’s basically his marriage. Reblogging for above comment. Ditto. Reading interviews where he talks about her just makes it so obvious. And it’s also interesting in how he chooses to play Tony. A lot of fan fiction has Tony as much more of an incorrigible flirt towards Pepper than he is actually shown to treat her throughout the movies. Which is fine, and works in fic set in the very early days of their relationship. But in the movies, what the audience comes away with is his tenderness.

marmellow08 asked: What relationship in your life do you think has had the most significant impact on you as a person? Also, if you could have a pet, but it had to be a mythical creature, which would you choose?

Outside of my nuclear family, I would say my cousin Natalie. I admired her so much as a child, and she was someone who made it easy for me to feel comfortable with my body while I was going through puberty, even if she probably doesn’t know that. Also, she was the one who introduced me to fan fiction, so there is that!

A mythical creature for a pet? Probably some kind of magical cat. Too many mythical creatures are sapient.
