Doctor Who Chess Set
I’m not a big fan of chess, I prefer card games, because I can win at card games. And don’t ever ask me to play Monopoly, I have never in my entire history of existence won Monopoly. But ask me to play Dutch Blitz (and now my Mennonite is showing), and I will beat your pants off. I told this to some college roommates and one of them was like I’ve been playing since I was twelve, so. . . I told her, I’ve been playing since I was seven. And then I beat her, severely.
They never asked me to play again. Even though I always help the person on my right get their cards out too. (Ok, yes, so technically that is to my advantage, still.)
Anyway, this chess set is uber cool. [via]

A little girl felt sorry for all the kids who didn’t get birthday parties because their families were too poor, so she created Birthday Fairies. Totally awesome.

Did you know there are people who don’t like puppies, chocolate, or bacon? (Personally I can leave or take bacon, its ok). That means that there are some people who wont like the creative things you put out into the universe either. Beth Revis talks about How to Respond to Negative Reviews of your written work.

Mario wall decor and storage. This is when I know I’m a nerd and not a geek. Mario will never be on my walls.

But if at some point I was ever convinced to put Mario up on my walls at home, he wouldn’t go up in my bathroom. I’m sorry, but that is sacred space. Sacred. [via]

Team Gale
So, I’m Team Peeta all the way. I get a little tired when people always want the badass girl to go for the badass guy. In real life, that shit don’t fly. Because in real life the two strong headed people just end up fighting and breaking up. There needs to be someone with a bit more understanding and compassion for a relationship to really work. So I was Team Peeta from the beginning. He is clever, kind, and thoughtful. Who wouldn’t be Team Peeta? Well, apparently, I’m one of the few people who think like this. So I just mostly ignored Team Gale geeks as I do with anyone I don’t really want to fight over fictional characters with. Because, they are fictional. Then this week, as karma would have it, Team Gale has slammed some funny pieces in my face and I can’t honestly let them sit in my inbox getting stale. Though I want to.
I’m posting these because they are funny, and not because I’ve switched teams. Just to be clear.
One girl’s conversation with her Hunger Games book. It is hilarious! Read it. [Thanks to Keith for the tip]
How It Should Have Ended. Look for the surprise cameo appearance from another series. That really did make me laugh. [via The Mary Sue]
