Tumblr really has accentuated my magpie ooh shiny instinct, but I don't really mind? It's easier to stay out of navel-gazing that way.

I sort of resent what it's done to my already incredibly shaky attention span, but at the same time, it's nice to "what shall I do? oh contemplate my life-- NO, INSTEAD, I WILL REBLOG A THOUSAND POSTS ABOUT DEEP SEA FISH. OR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE."

YUP. "Oh, no time to wonder what I'm going to do with my life today, I have a picture of Idris Elba to reblog!"

It is way cheaper than therapy.
