Dinner with a friend tonight who I haven't seen in years.
Her: "tell me everything about the last two years!"
Me: "I got really into BTS!!!"
Her: "wait, I thought you already did that... What are the other letters though? B...s... D...?"
Me: "you are thinking of bdsm."

I see Dreamwidth is coming back as Discord leaves. I'm still there! Just not as often. Maybe more now? Who knows.

Probably more I'm never going to write again after last week, I told myself, then woke up this morning and wrote 5,000 words before breakfast.
I have no idea what's happening on my life right now but I'm not complaining.

I can tell my boss missed me while I was on vacation because I've been working for 90 minutes and have spent most of that time chit chatting with her about psychiatry. (I missed her too.)

Sometimes bsky crashes my whole browser and I think, okay, bsky + Firefox are telling me not to make this post about Wayne's World. No Stairway. Denied.

I can't believe there's no full video of the 1989 Bon Jovi MTV Unplugged somewhere on the internet. I'm going to have to keep digging to see if I can find it. Unbelievable. No respect for history.

I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

I had a dream I was out to drinks and someone ordered "vermouth and lemonade" so I searched for it as soon as I woke up to see if it's a real cocktail.
Apparently the Django Reinhardt cocktail is dry vermouth, lemon juice, simple syrup. Close enough.

Me, every episode of The Night Manager: "Do you think they're going to make out?"
I would read six hundred thousand words of Pine/Teddy - canon divergence, angst with a happy ending, PTSD, recovery. maybe also slow burn, pining while fucking???

Since I can't go anywhere or really do anything outside the house on this week-long vacation, I am simply going to write 13,000 - 20,000 words every day and at the end of my vacation I will have the longest piece of fanfic I've ever written, and it will feel good to have done something on my vacay.

Once you hit about 9k words in one file, ellipsus starts to freak out. One of my only two complaints with it so far, though. (It's almost impossible to use on a phone.) I like it a lot otherwise, it's very useful.

Jackson Wang is going to be here in a couple of months and there are still a ton of tickets (HOW???) so -- my first concert in 12 years will be Jackson. Much less pressure.
(Somehow the tickets are so cheap? For half the cost of my BTS ticket, I'm in a suite w/ private bathroom access. Sure!!)

I need to figure out why I am making stupid, sloppy mistakes at work, and then fix whatever this problem is. Four sloppy mistakes in 10 days is more than in the whole rest of this fiscal year so far. I don't like it.

I was just telling a friend the story of my last arena show: 2009 (?) Fall Out Boy with blink, the last big show before they broke up. Pete Wentz shaved his head on stage and announced "the death of emo". Heartbreaking, really.

Got my BTS ticket. This will be my first concert since Midtown's reunion at Skate and Surf. When was that, 2014? Literally 12 years.
(I wasn't going to go, but my boss sat me down and convinced me that I need to. It was a very intense conversation that I appreciated a lot.)

Sure, why not write 13,000 words in 4 hours. Might as well.
My boss told me the other day not to be upset that I have so much writing I can't share, because "50,000 words for you is like 5,000 words for other people, so why does it matter?"
lmaoooooo like I wouldn't also be upset by sitting on 5k?

While I do resent having to come to campus, I do like periodically seeing my boss in person and sitting in her office and chatting. I am so lucky that I like my boss as a human being (and she's a pretty good boss too).

Angelica kitchen. Vegan restaurant in the East village, the first farm to table restaurant I ever went to. They made this gravy that I literally dream about, a Caesar salad with nori, and a tempeh Reuben I've never quite been able to replicate even with the cookbook.
I miss it soooooo much.

please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there
