Dear Traumateers,
Lorraine: In addition to being a monthly round-up, TMYK lets us touch base with all of you, announce plans, update you on our lives, pat ourselves on the back, etc. And though I suspect we start all of these in an eerily similar way, let me update you: November has been CRAZY.
Sweeney: We can’t help that all of the months are crazy, guys. ALL OF THE MONTHS. ALL OF THE CRAZY.
Lorraine: For those of you who don’t know, I work in an HR department of a medium-sized-but-rapidly-growing company. I’ll give you a moment to stop laughing at the thought of ME working in HR.
Anyhow, things in HR get crazy at the end of the year. Thankfully, though, I know how to prioritize which means my November was pretty much eat, sleep, work, snark.
Sweeney: That is such a beautiful schedule. My November partially consisted of acquiring and training for a second job, which similarly requires a greater love of people/social interaction than I have been known to possess. #vague #iwanttokeepmyjob The rest of the time I was either working at my other job, avoiding my thesis, snarking, or emailing Lor. I’m not sure if I am exaggerating the weight of Time Spent Emailing Lor; it was a lot.
Lor: And I loved every minute of it.
Last Month:
After a blissful month break from the Fifty Shades-verse, we got back at it with the first chapters of Fifty Shades Darker. Unsurprisingly, Christian Grey doesn’t actually know what it means to break-up, he gifts Ana an iPad and they get back together, Grey admits he BOUGHT the company Ana works for, and finally they have a lot of sex to try and distract us from the fact that Grey BOUGHT THE COMPANY ANA WORKS FOR.
LOL. Nope.
Sweeney:
Lor: In Sunnydale, us Snark Ladies tried our best to contain our feels as it is revealed that Buffy’s vagina is like a black hole for souls, Oz turned out to be a werewolf, Xander resorts to magic to get girls to like him, Ms. Calendar redeems herself for about 2 seconds, we are not surprised to learned that Sunnydale has the worst hospital ever, Buffy helps a poltergeist find resolution and in what was one of the worst episodes of the season, Swamp Things invade Sunnydale High.
Sweeney: We can’t do a Worst Episodes Ever list until we finish the series (FOREVER AWAY) but “Go Fish” will be a contender.
Lor: In book reports, I had a hell of a time getting through The League of Strays and graded it an F. Despite a flood of details, Sweeney found The Diviners good enough for a B+. Fracture sparks some SRSBSNS discussion about “ho suspensions” and sequels, but the book itself gets a C. Despite a good plot framework, an insufferable protagonist drags Undeadly down to a C-.
Lastly, Sweeney outdid herself with a Thanksgiving post with some greetings from our favorites.
Coming Up:
Yay Christmas! (And other assorted holidays!) It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating with the Sweet Valley High Mini-series straight from baby Jesus himself.
This year, we plan on celebrating with a host of guest contributors telling us all about their favorite holiday specials, episodes or movies. Our gift to you.
Welcome Questionable New Friends:
Sweeney: We got so many awesomely questionable new friends this month, guys! Lor made a big list because it was impossible to choose just one. For those of you who new to SnarkSquad.com (or just to this feature), this is where we peruse the fantastic search terms that have brought people to our blog this month, and welcome our favorites. Questionable Friends are our favorite kind of friends.
From Lor’s list, my personal favorite:
a guy asked you out for a date and he has a body odor or bad breath(which he doesn’t know) how can you decline him politely?
Honorable mentions to “redneck murders,” “what is in those little packets of plant food,” and “please tell me that ana dumps grey.”
Also, because the list was too awesome, can we give a Welcome Jr. Questionable Friend nod to this kid?
when a boy says ughh and ewwww does that mean he likes you how can you tell
Lor: On top of being so entertained by these searches, it amazed me that they were directed to us. Redneck murders, you say? SNARK SQUAD. What’s in plant food? THE SNARK SQUAD SHOULD HELP.
Not sure if we really helped, but you’re welcome anyways.
♥
The Snark Squad
