A detective has been trying to interview me, and I have no fucking idea why. So that's been stressful. Remember: don't talk to police! Doesn't matter if you haven't committed any crimes, it's always a bad idea to talk. On the bright side, this dumbass detective can't even find where I live. I'm just living my life, not even trying to hide.

I read "Brainwyrms" after seeing Abigail mention it in the latest Philosophy Tube video. Turns out the book is absolutely fucked, far more extreme horror than I'm used to. I think I liked it (maybe?), though I was disgusted and uncomfortable the entire time I read it and was noticeably more spiral-y for days afterwards. Thoroughly unrecommendable, anyone you suggest it to would think you were born with a dick in your brain.

That's good to know. I was planning on reading it after she recommended it, but I am averse to most things horror.

Wore a skirt and thigh highs and did chores around the house and felt really cute.

Hey fuck yeah, good stuff good fun ^.^ :3

Def a good feeling 😌 I think that's now my plan for the day after I'm off work, think I need garters to keep them from sliding off my thighs tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It made doing chores actually enjoyable haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Can confirm, felt pretty good!

Imagine being both aroace and genderqueer while also living in one of the worst countries in the world for queers. Yeah, this is me.

Can you tell I hate being Moroccan?

I was really happy for no reason and then sad for no reason over the course of the week.

Bleh. It's fine, I guess. Passed out on my host's couch and got volunteered for DM duty despite no evidence that I can even keep up with such a game as a player @.@ Turns out I'm currently a lightweight, which I suppose is good to know. Dunno why but oh well.
Procrastinated looking for a new friendgroup so now I have none. Wwweeeellp. Those never last long 🤷
Played some KotOR 2. Am doing a blaster run, which is kinda neat actually. Am hoping to get a copy of the first game and playify that too.
Host continues to impress with tasty yet lazy cooking 😅 Some kinda fancy funky pasta this time. Nom! (And I'm gonna swipe the last of it from the fridge if it's still there when I extract myself from this blanket @.@ )
Not very eventy I guess. Oh, met more hunams and a small dog and a big dog and a small cat. Tried to steal small cat but it turns out everyone wants small cat so they don't tend to let them go 😅 Dogs like me, apparently. Am not dog person :| Hmph!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, dogs have chosen, you are dog person now 🤷

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Nuuuuuu! Meeewwwwww!!

There's actually a cat latch on my door to hold the door just open enough for kittycats to pass but not dogs >:3

Distressing, but I have been reaching out far more than I used to, so I have far more support than I used to. I'm weathering far worse than what would make me crumble before. It gets better and all.

Pretty shitty, I got rejected for a promotion (to a position I'm more than qualified for) for the third time in a row. I feel like I'm going to be stuck destroying my body in a shitty, entry-level position so I can barely afford bills for the rest of my life.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Pretty insane... for better or worse. I came out to my grandma as bi, I hit a deer, my therapy copay finally kicked in, and my s/o popped a tire and then got into a car wreck.

In femme news, I've started doing my nails more and finally started a hair care routine! Also been trying stomach vacuums to get a better figure. I got to go swimming the other day; though I didn't get to buy a swimsuit, a bralette with trunks was super gratifying for me!

Had a mildly stressful week back at work after a vacation, but I am thankful to have a relatively low-stress job now overall. My worst day in this role is better than my best day at the last job.

Found a new way of applying my eyeliner that suits my face a lot better too, which is fun :)

My week was annoying. The WiFi wasn't working for eight days and the AC quit working as well. Not a pleasant expierence. Been pretty bored and aimless these days.
