YES. Although I always had them on like a bagel sandwich b/c the bread broke apart too easily.

i think we always toasted the bread for the sandwiches for exactly the same reason, so i feel you. but yessss i’m glad this wasn’t just me

THOSE ARE IN CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS! sorry to be totally random, i just feel duty-bound to mention it when someone brings up a food that i only know exists because it made an appearance on the pages of cloudy with a chance of meatballs

this is a totally factual statement because i once tried to use it as a reason that my mom should let me have these sandwiches all the time? because i was only allowed to have them at my babysitter’s house cause my mom thought they were gross, also altogether way too much sugar to have in one place??? or something i don’t remember her reasoning but I DO REMEMBER THE TRAGEDY THAT WAS THE BAN ON THESE SANDWICHES IN MY HOUSE also askdl;fjasdf cloudy with a chance of meatballs ranks at least in my top 5 kids books ever because oh my god the illustrations in my copy were just the coolest things ever

ME!! You know how every american person I know or in movies they’re always like PB&J.. and I’m like no dude cream cheese & Jam!!

niceeeee! and yeah, i mean i’m definitely a fan of pb&j, but i’m a bigger peanut butter and banana sandwich fan as well as cream cheese and jam, but we almost never have cream cheese, so yeah. BUT YES!

I had never heard of this combo until recently on another blog where she made poptarts with jam, cream cheese and pie crust dough. It sounds yummy!

whoaaaaaaaaa that sounds AWESOME no lie, also like it might kill me BUT ALSO awesome - but trust me, these sandwiches are killer good. sweet, but super good

For me, it was cream cheese and olives, sooo good, at least for me!

oh man i have neverheard of that before! also i’m not the biggest olive fan (except green ones? sometimes? when i’m in the mood?) but i trust you gurl. also this put me instantly in the mind of a cream cheese, olive and jam sandwich? which would probably be horrific, so, uh, yeah

happy no d december!

gyzym:

I know I’m a couple of days early, but I’ll be honest with you guys: I’ve got some apprehension about the approaching month. Like all women, I am simply lost without the d; a lack of the d drives me to madness and despair, reduces me to nothing more than a mere shell of a person woman (whoops, almost suggested that women are people). In fact, once a month I tell folks that I have come down with my period, when in reality I am simply curled up on my side in my bedroom, screaming, “The d! The d!” into the cruel, empty air. Why, just yesterday I turned to my vibrator, Bunny*, and said, “Oh, Bunny, what will I do? The internet decreed that women who participated in No-Shave November would bring about No D December, and I have, myself, taken part in this blasphemous behavior! Oh, woe! Oh, despair! Oh, the horror!” She buzzed ominously at me. 

Just kidding; that’s all lies. I am a person despite my bedamned femality, I actually curl up and yell “FUCK MOTHERFUCKING SHIT FUCK WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BUILD CUNTS THIS WAY,” on my period, and I’m about as afraid of No D December as I am of death by comically falling piano, which is to say not at all. It is true that I participated in No Shave November, with my legs, as a woman, but even that is kind of a lie of omission, because it implies that I stopped shaving my legs at the beginning of November, that I intend to start again at the beginning of December, and that I did so in the name of a cause. 

Here’s the truth: from the beginning of September to the end of May, or sometimes the middle of June if it’s one of those years where summer comes late, I am rocking it monkey-style from the waist down. And let me be real clear here: I am not talking “long stubble,” I am not talking “occasionally skipping a few days with the razor,” I am not talking “light, feminine hair.” I am talking full-scale, balls to the wall, coarse-as-shit monkey fur. I will shave if I have to go to an event where dress pants are not going to cut it, and I will shave if I’m planning on fucking somebody for the first or second time**, but that’s it. Otherwise, I wear pants and enjoy the extra ten to fifteen minutes a day I don’t have to spend in the shower, the money I don’t have to spend on dude razors (yeah that’s right dudes, I buy your better sharper smoother razors and use them on my monkey fur leg hair, FUCK THE POLICE), and the happy lack of razor burn itching at inopportune moments. I love winter. I love winter so hard.

I’ll tell you something else, while we’re on the topic—I’m no model, but for better or worse I do qualify as conventionally attractive. Whatever hemp-wearing, guitar-toting, unwashed hippie festival follower you’re imagining, I’m not that girl (although, of course, no judgement to those folks—I am friends with several different versions of that girl, all of whom I have met at festivals, and they are all some of the best humans I know). I’ve got blonde hair and big tits, I clean up nice, and I have long since perfected the sort of walk that highlights my cute little ass; as a result of this, I’ve gotten a number of cat-calls over the years. And I’ll tell you what, dudes—a lot of those cat calls have happened between the months of September and late-May-sometimes-June, while I have been walking around with pants concealing my monkey fur. Dudes have, in fact, offered me the d whilst I was secretly unshaved! I know. The horror is overwhelming, right? Probably not as overwhelming as the horror of being offered the d by a total stranger in the middle of the day, but still. You just go ahead. Take a moment. Let that sink in. I’ll wait.

KALSDJALSFJAS YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I PRETTY MUCH WATCH WHITE COLLAR FULLY PREPARED TO ASSOCIATE ANY AND ALL POSSIBLE REFERENCES TO ARTHUR AND EAMES

I know, I know, I’m a loser! Finals hit and I became a hermit - and not the fun internet-is-forever kind of hermit either. But I’m finally on break so I should have time to catch up on the backlog of requests I have/to keep you all in fic. Look for those in the next week or so!

As for holiday fic, I’m assuming you mean this wintry season of wonderfulness? If so-

Never Wanted the Nice Boys Anyway by foxxcub on LJ (which I believe I’ve recc’d as a single rec before but…) is a delicious AU fic where Grad Student!Eames convinces Grad Student!Arthur to pretend to be his boyfriend over Christmas at the Eames’ household. Really beautifully done - as well as very funny!

Last Candle by the_ragnarok at Dreamwidth is an awesome Hanukkah fic with Eames and Arthur - super fluffy in the way that only the boys can be (ie. mentions of guerilla warfare and lighting things on fire for amusement) and wholly satisfying if you’ve got a ~thing about Arthur being Jewish, which I totally do.

On the Merits of Checking the Calendar by gyzym on LJ is another fantastic fic, one wherein Eames gives Arthur lovely gifts for seven days and Arthur’s just got no freaking clue why. Funny and adorable and beyond perfect in the way that only gyzym-fic can be. (Yes, I am a gyzym-fangirl. Don’t hate, appreciate.)

On that note, you’ll see that the gyzym fic is posted to an LJ-community called ‘holiday_heist’ which was a 25 day long event last year in the arthur/eames community wherein holiday themed fic was posted every day until Christmas, I believe. Definitely a good place to get your holiday fix of fic!

YOUR MUTANT POWER OF BETTER HYDRATION THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD, GODDAMN YOU

I MEAN COMPARATIVELY TO WHAT MY MUTANT POWER COULD HAVE BEEN, IT’S A BIT SHIT, BUT I DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS OKAY. THIS DOESN’T CHANGE WHO I AM. 

I’M STILL ME.

WEEPS.
