This is Katie (itskatiex3.tumblr.com). She passed away on March 24th after a long, brave battle with Cystic Fibrosis. She was 21. On Saturday I’ll be participating in Great Strides, a walk to help fund and bring awareness to this disease that affects approximately 10,000 Americans.

Katie loved photography, Monopoly (well, winning anyway), math, science, playing all kinds of games, watching movies (A Walk to Remember was her favorite), and hanging out with her family. She loved tumblr, as evidenced by the screen-cap of one of our varied FB convo’s.

My goal for Great Strides is $500. I’m currently at $404. Please, please, if you can spare any change, anything at all, please take the time to donate. Its easy, tax deductable, and for an amazing cause. Just go to my Great Strides page (http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/ChelseaAllaart) and click on the button at the top or bottom that says “click to donate”. It’s really that easy.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

I actually loved this moment, because I didn’t see this as Steve being incompetent and completely unaware of what was going on. This, I felt, was Steve being extremely sassy. “It seems to run on some form of electricity,” he says, with a huff of a sigh and a smile. What he means is, “Of fucking course I don’t know what this shit means, I’ve never been exposed to this, are you serious right now” and that is not because he’s stupid or inept. Actually, Steve adapts very, very well and very quickly to new technology, evidenced in the Avengers with the ease and familiarity that he navigates his tablet with, but also in Captain America, where he takes everything Howard gives him (modified, highly advanced Hydra weapons) and uses them to full capacity. 

It’s just that Steve’s never seen the inside of a control panel like this, so there’s no way in hell he’d know what to do with it, and he’s pointing that out to Tony with his dry sense of humor. And I think Tony gets it, because he doesn’t get angry or snark back at him; he returns with “Well, you’re not wrong” and a lopsided smile, which I read as his “duh, what was I thinking” moment.

I just have a lot of feelings about Steve and his sass and his dry sense of humor, and now I will crawl away to have feelings elsewhere.

this was my final test in art today

i’m glad students aren’t the only ones who give up at the end of the year

JESUS CHrist,

A professor told me once that they are REQUIRED to give a final, whether they want to or not. So he does something similar: One semester he asked us to name the seven  dwarves. Another he asked us to name Santa’s reindeer.
