Two ways to make a drink last forever
magicmolly:
1. Lift the drink often as though to take a sip but then think of something funny to say and put it back down.
2. Pretend you’re giving someone the world’s smallest kiss but instead of a kiss it’s a sip and instead of a person it’s a drink.

“Mamihlapinatapei: from Yagan, the indigenous language of the Tierra del Fuego region of South America. This word has been translated in several ways in English, always implying a wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start.”

Set. For. Life.
My uni has a student group called The W.A.N.G. Club - as in, We All Need Grub. Every fortnight they hold free barbecues for members, and play hackysack or bash around a wang-shaped pinata.

I want to become a better writer. I don’t think I’m bad, per se; I’d just like to be better.
How do you want to be better? Fiction or non-fiction wise? Writing is freaking hard, yo. This is why I’m taking another hack at NaNoWriMo, years after my last failed attempt. Help! I am wringing my hands
Both! I mean, I’m pretty happy with my academic writing, but I...
