5 Christmas Traditions!
I’m sure all you people with nice, normal families have nice, normal Christmas traditions like “baking cookies” and “singing carols around the piano” but my family is neither nice, nor normal. Our Christmas traditions make Clark Griswold want to hide in the attic and never come out. But family is family, and I’d be lying…
5 Fandom Friday: Christmas Wishes
Okay so I already got ONE Christmas present this year from my mom: it’s a Soda Stream. And I love it so much I couldn’t possibly want anything more! Oh except maybe… 1. My dad to sing carols off-key He does this high-pitched, airy yodel? Jury’s still out whether he’s putting us on or if…
5 Fandom Friday: Black Friday NEEDS
Black Friday? Bah Humbug! I don’t believe in Black Friday. “But Meghan!” you say, “What about Christmas shopping for friends and family?” You know what? This year, everybody’s getting a nice bottle of booze. It’s what you want, need, and will use! So there. I’m not going shopping on Black Friday. I don’t need anything…
5 Fandom Friday: 5 Reasons I’m Thankful for Blogging
This week’s 5 Fandom Friday topic is “Fandoms You’re Thankful For” but the only fandom community I could think of was this one: The Blogging Community.

5 Fandom Friday: Favourite Seasonal Foods
Yay for 5 Fandom Friday! As a gluten-free-pescetarian, I probably have a very different list from most people?

5 Fandom Friday: Halloween Traditions
Traditions are very important. Halloween is my favourite holiday. Therefore, TAKE NOTE: Halloween traditions are THE MOST IMPORTANT. 1. Mellocreme Pumpkins It’s not really Halloween until my first Mellocreme Pumpkin! Confession: I bought a bag of these beauties in Reno, literally just hours after leaving Burning Man. Saw them in a store in early September,…
5 Fandom Friday: Hey Teacher…
This topic is near and dear to my heart, since I worked in a school for a year and definitely had delusions of wanting to be a teacher (!!!) for a while, and though that didn’t really pan out, I do have massive respect for these fictional teachers for actually doing it! 1. Miss Mason,…
5 Fandom Friday: Apocalypse NO
The apocalypse is no fun, people. Shit goes down, you gotta have a seriously good crew. This week, we have the opportunity to assemble our apocalypse-proof posse to help us through these trying times. 1. Buffy Summers has survived how many apocalypses now? She’s basically a pro at this. I would have Buffy as my…
