Day 9: Your siblings.

Tessa: Two years younger, with light brown hair and green eyes. Tinier than I am. Pretty. Played lacrosse in high school. Made the Dean’s List last year. Needs three cushions to see over the steering wheel in our mother’s station wagon. Couldn’t hear until she was three. Had an incredibly awkward crush on Forest Ranger McBuff for a fairly long time. Loves goldfish crackers. Caught scabies last fall from her former roommate. Recently joined a sorority and is living off-campus with her “real sisters.” Prone to shouting. Lives on coffee. Knows the words to just about every Katy Perry song ever. Can’t string a coherent sentence together on paper. Owns two laptops. Constantly steals my music. Strangely fond of Harper, despite Harper’s (rather obvious) disdain for her. Told people for years that we weren’t blood-related. Majoring in Environmental Science. Broke three bones in elementary school, one right after the other: left leg, right wrist, right elbow. Took piano lessons for six years, but can't play a note. Went to Israel last winter on the Birthright Tour. Coxswain. ~~Part-Badger~~. Has an unusually small left hand, and the same funny little mole on her cheek as I do. She turned twenty this past summer.

Despite everything, I love this girl. But just because I love her, it doesn’t necessarily mean that I always have to like her.

Current Mood: determined

Firstly, a meme borrowed from the lovely cysfics:

Pick a character from any of my fandoms - canon or one of my OCs, doesn't matter. Let me know who you've picked and I will write you a "ten things" ficlet describing my head!canon for that character.

( Secondly, a bit of an update as to what's been happening in my RL. )

Current Mood: content

You know, I thought that with school letting out, I would actually have time to do things outside of sleep and work, but in the past week I have:

( Life nonsense lies below -- you've been warned! )

So, to recap: I am alive, I am still writing, and I am back for all the fun things I’ve missed in the past two months. I promise. :-)

…And am apparently corrupting people in my real life and dragging them into fanfiction! Really, that was a surprise. I was not at all expecting Harper to follow me into the endless abyss…even though she found this place first, like, way back in the summer and linked me to it.

Okay, so these past two weeks have been a lot busier than I expected it to be. In the past few days, I have:

( Rambling Life Nonsense Under The Cut! )

So…yeah. School and work and real life in general has been eating up pretty much all my time, lately, but I’m trying to catch up with all you awesome internet people. There’s fic to write! Memes to finish! Reviews to leave and stories to read and lots of fun things to flail over!

I’ve got school until six and I’m going to dinner with McBuff (and maybe Harper if she’s free) tonight, but my couple-days break starts on Wednesday and I’ll definitely see you all later.

I just got back from Saratoga a few hours ago – I didn’t get to go to the Revolutionary War museum or the racetrack, but my sister, Tessa, had a crew competition up there this weekend that was actually pretty fun to watch. She’s a coxswain – the girl at the front of the boat giving directions – not a rower, and for as much as I like to tease her about her tiny hands and hatred of putting actual effort into any writing she does up at school, she is really, really good at this. It’s a little funny to me, just because her boat is full of boys and Tessa’s looks like this tiny little fifth grader compared to them, but when she tells them to jump, they ask her how high.

And it shows: they came in first place four times yesterday, beating out Clarkson and the Army teams!

Here’s my favorite picture of the day, taken right before they tossed her in the water:

Dear Tessa,

You’re the only baby sister I’m ever going to have, and I love you more than you will probably ever realize. Unfortunately, the fact that I love you doesn’t necessarily mean that I have to like you.

Most of the time, I think that you’re loud and rude and absolutely obnoxious, with no idea of how to act around people and barely any social skills to speak of. And on top of that, I think that you need to seriously have your head examined more than I probably do. How people put up with you on a regular basis is more of a mystery to me than the writing on the Dead Sea scrolls. When you go out in public, do you always act like someone who was raised by wild badgers? Do you think that’s part of your “charm”?

( Because let me be the first to tell you: acting like Khloe Kardashian's long-lost third cousin isn't all that attractive. )

Current Mood: contemplative
Current Music: Honestly, Cary Brothers
