if bernie sanders loses to that racist loudmouth clump of hair i will literally move to antarctica and start a new life for myself whilst feeding off of fish and the evergrowing rage i have for america
hello! i don't mean to be offensive, but why did you decide to make the twins and neil so short? what i mean to say is, in our times men are considered to be short when they're about 175 cm/5' 9''... like, you could still get your point across even if the twins were about 165cm/5' 5'' and neil was 170cm/5' 7''... sorry, i don't mean to be rude!!!
A
Haha, don’t worry, it’s not a rude question. I’ve seen more than a few baffled comments on the decision to make them so small. Unfortunately I don’t have a legitimate answer for you, unless “They just are” is ever accepted as an excuse…
Are they short? Yep. Is there a logical reason behind it? Nope! They’ve just always been tiny and I’ve never wanted to change it. But perception comes in to play here, too, because I don’t consider 5′5″ or 5′7″ to be short. To me, “short” is anything 5′4″ and under. Neil at 5′7″ would feel like a giant to me!
millportdingo “#then my rice cooker burnt me“ Maybe we should ask mysoulforcoffee about that time she tried to make us rice in a rice cooker and somehow ended up MAKING RICE PUDDING???? You guys must’ve been wild in your past lives if rice cookers are out to get you.
I have an anon Ask sitting in my inbox about Cass & Andrew, but I can’t make my head work tonight to answer it properly– I keep derailing and wandering off into left field somewhere and not coming back. I’m not trying to ignore it & you! I just need another day to sort it out.
Also, belated thank you to the anon who mentioned the sports article! News is rarely good these days; it’s nice to know people still take the time to make a difference in others’ lives.
Hi, I know you suffer from perpetual wanderlust, so: 1. How many countries have you been to? 2. What's your favorite ethnic food? 3. Any plans/dreams of moving? 4. If you could go anywhere, where would it be? 5. Did you study any languages? PS how's writing going?!
A
1. Outside of the US, just 3 that I’ve lived in (3 cities in one, 2 cities in another, and one in the last) and 2 I’ve traveled to. My goal is 10, but I’m behind because life is like that. (To be more honest, the goal is 10 countries and at least 30 US cities. I’m halfway through my cities right now)
2. Do sesame balls count? Probably not. Nikuman probably doesn’t count either. But I’m craving them right now so that’s the best answer I have for you. D:
3. I’ve been trying to move for the last two years, but have been too busy trying to make ends meet to fill up a savings account.
4. Moving or traveling? Moving: Portland, Oregon. Traveling: a couple months bouncing around all of Europe. Start in Norway and go clockwise until I hit the UK. If I ever win the lottery I’m going to take that 72-day cruise just because.
5. I studied Spanish for three years, Japanese for four years, and have touched on French, Russian, and German. I have a list of languages to learn but no real energy to devote to the cause.
PS: What is this thing you call “writing”? I do not know it
What are the Foxes' heights by the end of the series?
A
I only have exact heights for a couple of the Foxes.. The rest of ‘em I usually just stick to ranges. Matt is… 6′4″? Thereabouts? Kevin & Seth were between 6 & 6′2″, Nicky was 5′8″ or 5′10″, I can’t remember what I settled on for him. The girls were in the 5′4″ - 5′7″ range (unless Allison was in her 6-inch heels, in which case she was about six feet tall and eye to eye with Seth). Neil was 5′3″, and the twins of course are 5 feet flat.
Did the Foxes ever actually celebrate Neil's birthday?
A
They did! I keep thinking I wrote about it– not here, but somewhere else– but I can’t seem to find the comments on it. But yeah, they had a get-together. Despite Dan’s “warning”, it wasn’t a crazy affair, since Neil’s not into wild & crazy get-togethers.
Do you have an idea how many people have read The Foxhole Court?
A
Amazon keeps track of downloads & purchases on a month-by-month basis, and Smashwords has a cumulative count, so technically, yes, I could pull the reports and have a rough estimate of at least how many people gave the Foxes a chance?
lays in bed staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night wondering if I’ll ever be able to move out of the house and be financially stable and follow my dreams and be happy and pay bills and do taxes and still be able to feed myself and to be able to follow my dreams and be happy and be a full functioning adult all at the same time and to be happy
Whenever Donald Trump says something racist or sexist put a dollar in a jar. When the jar is full donate the proceeds to Bernie Sanders’ campaign. After you donate the money take a drink to celebrate how awesome you are.
Please do not drink whenever Trump says something racist or sexist. You will die of alcohol poisoning.

going to need a little time to recover from what she’s seen. Stray screencaps under the cut.
