SO FINE

I worry. I mean, little things bother me. I'm a worrier. I mean, little insignificant details - I lose my appetite. I can't eat. My wife, she says to me, "You know, you can really be a pain."

it should be a law that if it’s raining and you wake up feeling comfy in bed you shouldn’t have to answer to any of your obligations

as a lawyer who’s been practicing for six years now I can say with certainty that this 100% applies to lawyers

I need to print this and put it on a wall

"I Double Dare You" Chapter 2: Running Into a Sergeant

*I'm re-posting to include new illustrations. I have been searching for art that depicts a Currahee training era version of Bill Guarnere. Mutantmanifesto, a person here a Tumblr, posted what I've sought for a long time.*

Leigh Spencer is my OC. She leaves an abusive relationship, escaping with her life. When World War Two breaks out, she becomes a WAAC and is sent to Camp Toccoa to do clerical work. One autumn afternoon, she runs into a brash, handsome Italian American sergeant from South Philadelphia who turns her regimented life upside down. Could this tough ladies' man with a reputation for being hot headed be her soul mate?

*Author's Note: Mutantmanifesto created the amazing sketches. The Victory Red picture comes from an advertisement for Besame Cosmetics, an American company. I am basing Guarnere on the actor's portrayal in the movie. The information about Guarnere's father being a tailor, his job with Baldwin Locomotive Works and his mother insisting that he finish high school came from Bill's and Babe's book. Sobel's nickname and the quote about running Currahee also came from the book, plus the quote about "She's pretty an' she doesn't take guff from anybody. I like that." Bill said that about his wife Frannie when he first met her.*

October, 1942

Leigh was nearing the end of an exceptionally trying day in the office. Colonel Sink had granted a leave of absence for her friend, Melissa Adams, to attend her grandmother's funeral in Camden, Tennessee.

Due to Spencer's job performance since her arrival in mid August, Sink determined she was the best clerical WAAC in Camp Toccoa to assume the responsibilities of Adams. Leigh had temporarily inherited the task of handling part of the files for Easy Company. Numerous WAACs worked for the nine units, Able through Item.

When Leigh learned of her assignment, she dreaded her first day on the job, knowing she would be in constant contact with the Commander of Easy Company, Captain Herbert Sobel. She had heard the other Easy Company clerical workers' assessments of the arrogant martinet and he received less than stellar reviews.

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

no one tell him

Scheduling this to post on March 15 because it needs to happen.
