2015 – Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American.
#the freedom bird has rejected him
FUCKING GOOD.
@killerchickadee did you do this?

It is a little known fact that all presidential candidates must be tested by the freedom-bird. Trump has failed and will be withdrawing his candidacy.
True American constitutional law.

Early Winter
Luckily, we did get to go to Vic on my only free day. He skipped class, otherwise we couldn’t make it. A two-hour train trip, seeing gorgeous mountains and valleys, to attend the annual medieval market in Vic. I’ve been going there for the last few years, and last year I invited him to come with me. We were just friends then, but on that trip our relationship began to take a kind of romantic turn. Five days after the trip, we found ourselves hooking up in my bed and having profound conversations, and we’ve been obsessed & in love with each other ever since. So of course we had to go to Vic again this year.
I’ve been so busy and exhausted that the christmas tree and all the decors are still in the attic. I’m a huge fan of Yule time, and usually by December 2 I’ve already put up the tree. But this year I can never remember that the tree is missing from my house. I don’t feel like doing all that work of taking it down in three weeks, so I don’t feel like putting it up for that reason.
I did get a lovely poinsettia, as I do every year. It’s my favourite thing to do! Poinsettia shopping!
I hope I can go to Barcelona with C before Yule, and see the city with all the lights, and visit the Christmas markets in the Romanic/Gothic quarter.

(¼) “I had a very brilliant teacher in elementary school. She was my role model. I don’t remember deciding to be a teacher so much as I remember deciding that I wanted to be just like her. My whole life became about studying. I’d learn every lesson early so that I could participate in class. When my siblings were playing games around the house, I’d plug my ears and work on my homework. Education was my passion. It was all I thought about. I didn’t even want to get married. I finished at the top of my class in both high school and university. I got a scholarship to pursue my Masters at a German university. Then I met a man who was very supportive of me going to school, so I decided to marry. But four months later he was killed in a car accident. And I was pregnant.”
