Literally "Happy chance," but it means "Nice to meet you" in Arabic. The appropriate response is "Wa ana as'ad,"--literally "and I am happier," but basically, "the pleasure is mine."

If you're looking for substance, there's a handy link called "Analysis" right down below, which I invite you to check out. The rest is shorter thoughts, humor, caps lock, and the occasional personal post. Ask me anything you like.

FYI, I co-blog a lot of pop culture, fangirly things with my dear CT over at 22drunkb. If you enjoy hilarity and flailing, head that way. ________

ugh. sorry to hear about that. I will ready the cocktails in the party nunnery.

GOD YES THE PARTY NUNNERY. I can’t believe I forgot about it in my hour of need. I’ll meet you by the vinoduct.

(if anyone wants to know what a party nunnery is I suggest they explore the tag #PARTY NUNNERY)

goddamn creepers.

AND THIS ONE LIVES WITH ME. Although to be fair I feel pretty confident it’s going to be fine going forward. Still. Weird. (I cited that as one reason us hooking up would be a bad idea and apparently this concept didn’t make any sense to him??? Like, HOW IS THAT EVER NOT WEIRD?)

Since when is miming slitting someone’s throat considered an appropriate way to make one’s romantic interests known?!

Since ABSOLUTELY NEVER WTF. Of course. To be absolutely clear, I wasn’t saying it was! I’m just familiar with the “ugh I hate you you’re sooo stupid” style of flirting and I feel like he’s trying to do that, but in a HORRIFYING EXTREME FUCKED-UP way. He also reminded me of a conversation we apparently had some other time involving a knife? And when I told him inhad no recollection of it he was all, “ooohh, you remember.” I…don’t. No. Not okay at all, and I’m trying to be polite about it but if it keeps up I will have to bite his head off, probably in public. Hopefully not at his upcoming birthday party? Ugh humans why, I would like to come back as a three-toed sloth.

Once again I say: TO THE PARTY NUNNERY!
