TFW you’re super excited about a new hobby you’ve discovered but it’s one of those things most people can’t talk rationally about in modern society so you just do it anyway and have no friends. No point in having a considered and nuanced opinion/approach when knee jerk rage is the one true way.

Can’t even order groceries without someone trying to shove God up my ass. If I ask for your input on my faith then that’s one thing, but “thanks, good luck shopping” does not indicate my faith is any of my Instacart shopper’s fucking business. Get. Out.

There’s nothing worse than an incomplete screw

Half the side cutscenes with characters in PSO2 NGS: Oh you scared me, how are you so quiet?!

Me, a CAST wearing thousands of pounds of full robot gear and armaments that probably should have shaken the foundation of the planet coming up to talk to your ass:

Devil on my shoulder: hey it’s been too long since you wrote anything, how about doing some PSO2 NGS OC fics for fun? They don’t have to be good

Angel on my shoulder: yeah you should totally do that, it’s not like NGS has an actual plot to worry about fitting into

I don’t live in Portland, I guess I’ve been spared building my own plywood base to prevent putting out all those pesky fires with the rain. How nice. I can spend my time doing normal non-delusional stuff like cleaning my house and fearing for the state of functional society instead.

Still green and growing… knock on wood. Orchid’s working on its second leaf since I got it and now needs a 3” bigger pot. The heartleaf philo is a new addition and slowly recovering from its harrowing cross-country journey wrapped in a dark box.

New sport: (affectionately) judging people based on their fridge organization per Amazon review photos. Many are amazing but there’s always at least one person doing something with the space that makes you wonder if they’re from another planet. Someone spent actual money intending to do that. 🤔

Final verdict: I didn’t burn the kitchen down! These were very simple to make and very good, even if I question the sanity of a muffin recipe with a yield of… 9. Used Blueberry Bran Crunch instead of normal Raisin Bran bc I had it and it sounded good.

It’s cold and cloud, the painting continues downstairs in my room, and I’m thinking about baking muffins. I love cooking from random ingredients but hate precise measuring, so baking and I do not mix. Guess I’m going to try being the blueberry bran muffins I wish to see in the world.

I hope someday I figure out how to have as much fun at 10 AM as the painter bellowing lyrics (badly, intentionally, gleefully) to music I’ve never heard before while working downstairs.

As a transmasc bi person, y’know what I’m gonna do the next (first?) time I have the guts to forge into an “opposite” gender bathroom?

That’s right. Cross yourselves.

I’m gonna take a piss.

That’s it.

That’s what bathrooms are for.

Scared yet? You should be.

Or something.

Up at 8AM for the foreseeable future as work gets underway on our drywall repair and painting. I’m not used to having my kitchen cleaning almost done by lunchtime. Feels bad but also kinda productive.

Never thought I’d say this but it feels good to have some actual housecleaning chores again. Streaming as much as I did was fun but left me no time for staying on top of things and our spaces & sanity suffered for it. If I ever go back, balance will be key.

Guess I’m not doing much to celebrate this International Cat Day. Still a catboy at heart, even if my confidence ain’t what it used to be. Still working on finding it again. And also someday having actual cats again. Did I mention painting starts in a couple weeks?

The new grow light and repotting seems to be revitalizing this Home Depot orchid I got myself into a couple of weeks ago. Still sad to see the initial gorgeous spike gone but it was time. Better to prep for a future healthy spike sans my initial mistakes.

It’s (past) 6 AM and I’m up turning a light on for an orchid. If there’s any saving grace, it’s the fact that I’ve already been up once an hour tonight for unrelated reasons. Gonna be a long day.

Some people carry wallets with pictures of their spouses or kids or pets inside. I carry a tape measure. #newhousewhodis
