The Full House - Chapter 14 - Emcee - Sherlock. Chapter Text Molly gave a slight start as there was a loud crash in the flat above her. Mrs Hudson paid no attention to it, calmly pouring tea into two cups. "Haven't missed that racket," Mrs Hudson tutted. "Was he this irritable when he was staying with you? " Molly shook her head silently. It was familiar to him. They had been at Baker Street for over a month. Maybe it was being in Baker Street or perhaps it was the length of time everything was taking, but Molly could only describe Sherlock's mood was mercurial. Moods like the one he was currently in were becoming increasingly common. There were also the sullen silences. Yet there was another mood.
These moments were always painfully short and ended as abruptly as they began, but it was something. Somehow, Molly Hooper had ended up in a relationship with Sherlock Holmes. This was definitely not one of those moments, as something else was tossed about in 221B. "Oh my," Mrs Hudson sighed, looking to Molly. "Oh? " "What? " "It's just...
" Letters to crushes: #405889. We met over Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I was in Starbucks with my nose buried in the book, and she came over my shoulder and whispered, "Don't Panic! " ...I did. I had never seen anyone so beautiful. I invited her to sit down, though, and she did, and we talked about the book and some of our shared interests-- how we share the Ninth Doctor in common as our favorite; how we both love caramel in our hot drinks, even if it's a spring day; how we both like winter best and would I like to go see the orchestra with her?
It's where she was headed anyway. "Who are they playing? " "Beethoven and Grieg. " They could have been playing anyone and I would have said yes. And that was our first date. Next week, it'll have been forty-two months ago. Next Friday I'm going to ask her to marry me at the Starbucks where we met, right before the orchestra concert we have tickets for. And I won't panic. The last word: He said he was leaving. She ignored him. Never show them your back. This is the first installment in "Body Issues," a series of personal essays about obsessions with our own bodies. I used to flash my bra when I was good and drunk. I didn’t really care. It’s funny how this happens, how some part of your body considered “secret” and “scintillating” just feels like more skin. But my boobs arrived early, and grabbed second helpings on their plate, and so men would saunter up to me with that greedy look: Can I touch? When? Now? But when I flashed my boobs, I kept the back of my shirt down.
I was 7, maybe 8, when I discovered my back did not look like other people’s. I remember the anxiety of a bathing suit, how I walked to the diving board with my head raised skyward, hoping my wet hair would drape down my back and provide cover. The moles were not inherently interesting, but they contained dark magic. I searched other women’s bodies. Which must be wrong. And so, I twisted myself in pretzel shapes to avoid a painful reveal. But it would also be OK. You Are A Short Story, He Was A Novel. You are a short story. You start in the middle maybe, and you don’t have a long word count.
A few pages. A short arc. A gimmick. Some terse resolution. You’re certainly not a novel. You make me feel like I am also a short story to you. I know this, because he was a novel. You are more like: writing in the lines, in the margins, in the sides of notebooks. My short story is about a young girl, too young, who wasn’t ready to read everything that was handed to her, everything she bought from miles of books in a dusty, old used book store, everything she unknowingly, naively checked out of the library. He was a novel, sure.

TALES OF MERE EXISTENCE - Weekly. I Want To Snuggle With You. I want to snuggle with you. I’d like to lie on you and put my head on your shoulder and breathe in the same rhythm that you’re breathing. I want to use one of my hands to rub your head, down to your neck, then to your arm, and then hold your hand. I’d like to rest my other hand on your hipbone, which is my favorite part of your body because it’s a straight and bony hip, nothing like my curvy, soft one. I’d like to stay there long enough so that our awkwardness goes away. I’d like to feel you give into the moment. Don’t ask yourself if this is too intimate. Make a joke after a few moments of peace, one of those jokes that isn’t funny because of its sharp wit, but funny because it’s a comment on our current state, designed to make both of us ease further into the bubble of each other that we’re currently floating in.

Somebody loves you if they pick an eyelash off of your face or wet a napkin and apply it to your dirty skin.
You didn’t ask for these things, but this person went ahead and did it anyway. They don’t want to see you looking like a fool with eyelashes and crumbs on your face. They notice these things. They really look at you and are the first to notice if something is amiss with your beautiful visage! Somebody loves you if they assume the role of caretaker when you’re sick.

Thank Your Ex. Thank you for arguing with me. You taught me the correct way to disagree, as well as the incorrect way. You pushed me to my breaking point, so now I know to never go there again. Thank you for second-guessing every romantic gesture I made. You believing them to be nothing more than measly attempts at covering up dark secrets, only solidified their necessity.

Question: How do I know if a girl loves me or not? Answer: If one night you go out drinking and end up back at her place, pass out together on the bed with your shoes on, and wake up a few hours later only to discover that you’ve peed the bed, which she takes in stride, changes the sheets, and then the next morning has a laugh about it, later leaves some pamphlets from the local health clinic about child bedwetters in your mailbox, and eventually after a few weeks tells your friends but never, ever tells hers: She loves you.
If she knows what song is coming next on the mix CD you made her: She loves you. If she calls you at work that day to ask, “How are those shoes working out?” If you’re Gael García Bernal: She loves you. If she dances with your friends: She loves you. It Happened to Me: I Had An Emotional Affair. Adventures in shady texting. Recently, someone asked me if I have ever cheated on anyone, and I felt a familiar storm of guilt begin to brew in the pit of my stomach.
“Once,” I said. “Not physically.” Not physically? What does that mean? It means that I had an long emotional affair. I met Jack at a college party 6 months before I started dating my boyfriend, Nick. While I know it would make a more dramatic story to say that Jack and I had crazy, skin-clawing sex in a bathroom at a party while Nick lingered by the keg wondering where I had gone off to, this never happened. My relationship with Jack was was strictly emotional, and our sole ways of connecting were through text message, and something we called “elbow rubbing.” Throughout the first few months, Jack and I would text daily. It can be hard to decipher what counts as emotional cheating, because it isn't physical. Ah yes, and the elbow rubbing.The first year of our textual relationship, Jack and I never met face to face. I Like Your Flaws.
I like how you mispronounce words sometimes, how you fumble and stammer and stutter looking for the right ones to say and the right ways to say them. I appreciate that you find language challenging, because it is, because everything manmade is challenging. Including man, including you. When you sleep on your side, I like to map the constellations between your beauty marks freckles pimples, the minuscule mountains that sprinkle your back. I like the tufts of hair you forgot to shave and the way you smell when you haven’t showered in a while; I like the sleep left in your eyes. I like the way your skin dies in the middle of the night, how you die from embarrassment the next morning; how you writhe in the snake casing you’ve left behind. I like that you think pillow snowflakes carry more weight than pillow talk; that you think my opinion of you is so fickle that it could change overnight. (It’s not.) I enjoy seeing you insecure, vulnerable.

It was on this day in 1849 that Henry David Thoreau (books by this author) self-published A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, his first book. Thoreau had always been the introverted and studious one, while John was gregarious and fun-loving.
Thoreau said: "To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. And, "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
