full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life

god, he’s a disgusting, hate-filled creep.

(i’m very, very fond of newark. had a terrific concert experience there, and one of my favorite shops in the country is right on the town square. small town america is where my heart lies.)

the big city crowd shots are impressive, but this… this is the kind of scene that gives me hope.

The No Kings protest in Newark, Ohio. Our reporter at the scene says about 1,000 people are there. After events in smaller cities this afternoon, the main protest will be at the Ohio Statehouse at 4pm.

forgot i still had one (1) photo, omg. we made balloon animal hats. we were horribly cool.

a photo of an old film photo, three people on a couch, one on the floor behind it, with balloon animal hats. old furniture from the 20th century (!) as this was 2003, cliche old brown living room vibes.

anyway, that friend and i fell off shortly after that, she went down a buckwild path of too-old boyfriends and drugs. one of those slightly older theater friends was unspeakably cruel to me after my family trauma in 2007. the other moved away. but, whew, it’s wild what the brain latches onto.

back in… christ, 2003? 04? one of my old theater friends and i were positively giddy when two of our Very Cool slightly older theater friends agreed to a sleepover we had planned, for october 17. we sing-songed “october 17th” through rehearsal the day they agreed. every october 17, i can HEAR us.

when i moved out, my mom threw away her internet router (leased from the provider) because she didn’t know what it was/why i “left it behind.” this haunted house premise is scarier than any horror film.

absolutely a thing. being in bars/around people drinking usually doesn’t get to me now, except for when it’s primarily wine. that smell/the way it hangs in the air? absolutely nauseating.

i use salesforce for 98% of my job and i couldn’t accurately tell you what it actually does.

ewan’s 5000000 mile stare in this number changed 14yo me’s life, i like your household.

rolling stone, a publication rooted in an industry that is as fuck-the-man, anti-9-5 as they come, issuing a RTO mandate is hilarious and mean and like what the fuck are any of us doing anymore
