Introduction I am a hopeless (but very adorable!) anxiety ball. I fall in love (things animate and inanimate) wholly and completely, only to be annoyed within a week. I'm trying really hard with this here thing, life. Snark usually helps it go down easier.
Interests Obsessing about the fact that I'm not longer obsessed with what I was obsessed with a week ago, social justice in everyday life, hangin' out, listening to records, beer, reading anything and everything including: magical realism, academic journals, the news, cheesy fantasy books, fanfiction, comics, young adult books, short stories, and philosophy

What reason do you have to believe the earth is flat?

Floors are flat. The Earth is our floor. Thus, the Earth is flat. Basic logic people, come on!
