Good news, bad news.

I need all the good luck for tomorrow. I am tired of the job searching. Have an interview.

I will say the funniest thing that has happened this week is I went to a small concert.

A performer decided to do a melody. Part of the melody was an R. Kelley song. I booed.

A server came up to me, a twinkle in her eye. She asked me why did I boo?

My reply made her cackle, then she gave me a dap

My dear lesbian, bi, and pan frendos. You almost got a new member. She tried to take me home. I almost let her.

I made it to Dallas in one piece. Maybe the first time I traveled and things went smoothly. :knocks on a forest:

I will be in Dallas next week. Visiting my sister. Looking for work.

A lot of things.

Keep me in mind. A rollercoaster will be had.

Anyway, one day, I will rant about why America has terrible storytelling bc capitalism.

I have been force-watching One Piece, and it has the same flaw as One-Punch Man.

The main character is too lacking/too powerful in X.

Luffy has two brain cells. One is for fighting what he believes in. The other is for food.

Saitama is op.

And that's why anything past a season is so convulted.

The bar for achievements will be in the basement today.

I didn't shit myself. Gold stars.

I had a sleep study last night. Son dropped me off. I told him, assured him repeatedly, he didn't have to pick me up at 5 a.m. At most, I would wait 30 to 40mins for the bus.

I forgot today is a holiday.

I also need to poop.

I tried to walk. It's only 3 miles.

I would absolutely shit myself.

My daddy and I have this inside joke where we call each other and our greeting is some kind of current event.

Important point: My father is a pastor.

Him: Hey girl, how ya doing?
Me: I was calling bc I need some baby formula.

One thing I can say about myself is that if I have the right tools (and have brushed up recently), I can pass a civil exam with a 90 or above.

I am sure that is a trauma response, but I will take it as a bragging right.

So...the way my apartments are built, my bathroom bedroom is connected to both neighbors.

And like, the insulation is terrible. I. Hear. Everything.

How many times a year is the average person vomiting?

I have a phobia, so I know my personal # is off.

But like...this can't be normal.

Just dropped off my ballot. I felt apathetic about voting. Dick Cheney's death reminded me that he's one of the fucking reasons why *gestures to world*.

I am the last kind of person he we want voting.

Just heard the news about a dick dying. Lemme go vote.

I keep applying for the post office and getting rejected. I am starting to get a complex.

Cosplayers are just people who celebrate Halloween all year.

I wish I could go back in time. 2013 specifically, 2015 especially. I would tell myself all the ways to preserve my joy so I could still write.

I miss it. I lost a part of me.

There is also rice and shrimp--not pictured.

Most importantly, there are sweet potatoes. (4 left.)

I likely won't be able to recreate this meal, but it is delish. Cajun inspired.

Soups were the answer.

Mental health tip: There is a moment when your post has left your circle but hasn't reached the ppl who will purposefully misunderstand. That moment is when you mute it.

It's really wild watching the whole Prince Andrew thing play out.

Instead of this whole tap and dance, they could simply turn over any evidence they have to the police.

Every part of their lives has been recorded for historical record. Every part has a witness.

But being actually transparent...

So...I'm currently a hurricane. No one told me. This is awkward.

For the first time this year, I bought some gizzards that were not fully cut.

Mind you, I have disconnected my brain from what gizzards actually are.

So for a moment-as I began to chop them-I thought, why is it all wrinkly like this?

My brain sighed and flashed a mental image of a butthole.
