"childlike Sense Of Wonder" This And That. Personally, I'm Cultivating My Elderly Sense Of Wonder. Hence

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

Tumblr's added some ruidimentary search operators, one of which lets you search by blog, and it actually turns up posts, unlike the search bar on a blog itself. It recognises quotation marks now, too.

You just have to make sure you're searching on the actual "search" page, it still tries to take me to the "tagged" page and I have to manually change the URL.

BUT, you can actually find a post on someone's blog now. Just don't start from the blog you want to search

Genuinely fond of the booping mechanic as a way of getting some playful interaction with some of the folks who follow me that I am fond of and always appreciate seeing in my notes, but for whatever reason aren't currently mutuals. I tend to keep my dash fairly small and curated, just for personal reasons, but I truly am very fond of many of the people who've been following me for years, or who clearly share a number of overlapping interests, or who think of me fondly even though I'm a relative stranger, and it's fun to have a cute little way to poke those people throughout the day.

(This post is also my way of saying I appreciate a lot of you, whether you've been here for years or are a relatively recent follower; it's nice to have a little corner of the internet where I can be truly weird and I'm glad you're here)

aight its time to clock out for a bit. im tired, this has me tired. im gonna draw some dragons getting their heads stuck in things. someone give me some ideas 

Welcome to Tumblr, we *smack* are a normal *smack* social media blogging *smack smack smack* website.

In high school one of the common fund raisers was carnation flowers for a dollar during prom season and valentines and a couple other times of year. And you could “order” flowers to be delivered to kids during their homeroom times so it was always a big deal to get flowers and it was super fun

But one of these fundraisers I had a guy friend who commented he never got any because he was always single or his girlfriend always expected flowers but never gave him any

So my senior year valentines I decided I was going to buy all the guys in my homeroom (which he was in) a carnation and said they were from “Anonymous Girl in your homeroom”

So the day came and all the guys started getting flowers and they all realized they were from the same one girl and all got super excited and giddy and protective of their flowers and all day long I saw the guys in my homeroom wear flowers behind their ears or stuffed in their notebooks and they flaunted them around to other guys that didn’t get flowers. One guy tried to see if it would make his girlfriend jealous. A couple of them tried to play detective to figure it out who it was.

Then the next day apparently they all (or at least most of them) got together and bought all the girls in homeroom a carnation as a thank you to whoever it was so every girl in my homeroom got a bouquet of one from every guy (so it was a bouquet of about a dozen) and every single girl was smiling and happy and bouncy as the guys were the day before

And no one ever knew it was me but I was always super proud of that
