I haven’t updated this Tumblr in a while because I’ve been a busy bee writing on Navel Gazing (plz go follow it, thx). But right now I’m going to keep posting pictures of animals and cartoons and you can’t do anything about it. YAAAY.

Are our engagement photos the best or what? What a bunch of dorks.
I’m probably not supposed to post these or whatever. I can’t even take it. These faces.
Thanks to the talents of Clever Girl Photography.
Almost time for Halloween! Get psyched.
“F**k you I won’t do what you tell me.”
Cat, you’re such a butthead.
Reading is cool.

I promise to get up and feed the cat so you can stay in bed.
I promise to always have Sriracha in our fridge.
I promise to always drive the right way, with three pedals, the way you taught me.
I promise to use coasters.
I promise to take care of you, to make you soup when you are sick, and to bug you to eat your vegetables and come running with me so we can prolong the years we spend together.
I promise to keep my temper and to be honest about my feelings. To communicate freely and to trust when you say that things will always work out. To worry a little less.
I promise to accept the flaws that we have and to celebrate our strengths.
I promise to let you buy whatever video games you want, and play them with you whenever we can (even Skyrim, even though I was terrible at it). I promise to embrace your geekiness just as you embrace mine, and to only be very a little bit jealous of your Portal solving skills.
I promise to protect Azeroth with you.
I promise to sneak kisses at inappropriate times, because it’s really cute when you blush.
I promise to never order a cheesesteak with Swiss or provolone, but to agree to disagree about whether mushrooms are an acceptable topping. I promise to eat the tomatoes from your salads if you promise that I never have to eat a hard boiled egg.
I promise to be faithful to our marriage.
I promise to accept the struggle. I promise to work at this, just like we have worked at this all along. I promise to stop running away from what scares me. I promise not to use “I’m sorry you feel that way” instead of a real apology.
I promise to have adorable little Filipino babies with you, if we feel like it, or we can adopt needy children, or neither. I promise that if we feel like it, we can live our lives with just two cats and a nice car — whatever makes us the happiest.
I promise to love your family as my own, embracing cultural divides and understanding that at some point we may have no choice but to hang a large fork and spoon on our kitchen wall.
I promise to welcome you as a permanent part of my family — the whole big fat Italian thing, even the Republicans.
I promise to be joyful and silly enough for the both of us, to play along with (most of) your jokes and take myself (a little) less seriously. I promise to laugh, often and truly.
I promise that whatever happens, I will try my hardest.
And I promise to love you and adore you, as I already do so much, every day of our lives.

(Here’s a picture we made a group of older couples take right after the proposal. I was still crying and for some reason I grabbed Mike’s tie. Maybe to keep me from falling down.)
Hysterical Fifty Shades of Grey book review and a reading of some bitchin’ Hanson fan fiction. Video of the day year.

ORLY?
Thanks for the tip, Blizzard.
I love playing on a highly populated WoW server now. Our guild transferred from Onxyia to Bleeding Hallow and I brought my paladin over (formerly Choux, now Harissa). Just ran through the Theramore’s Fall scenario with my boyfriend and one of our guildmates. It was incredibly easy but I’ve never done a pre-launch event before so it was fun to experience.
At the same time, the Horde on my server were busy kiting Jaina Proudmoore all the way back to Orgrimmar so she could fight Garrosh. I took a chaotic screenshot of DOZENS of players crowding in to the throne room and screaming at each other. It was weird.
Then a spontaneous Mammoth train broke out. My boyfriend is in there somewhere.
This game just doesn’t stop being fun. Call me a nerd, I don’t care. :)
Another Amy Poehler video? YES, ALL THE AMY VIDEOS. FOREVER.
This week, she talks to a young girl about body image.
“When things get dark, when you feel really crappy about yourself or your body or the way you look, sometimes the way to get out of it is to have some gratitude. Go around your body and thank it for what it gives you…make friends with those parts and not try to focus on the parts that will never change…”
“The earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have and not obsess about what you don’t have, the happier you will be.”
“When you do talk about yourself…try to picture you talking to your own daughter or your younger sister. Because you would tell your younger sister or your daughter that she was beautiful and you wouldn’t be lying. Because she is. And so are you.”
Thank you, I really needed that.
