Red Hot Chilli Peppers? That's one of the bands my generation grew up listening to from the back of our Millenial older sister's car, as she was just getting her license. I'm early Gen-Z, so I guess I'm retro now.

Is that an invitation? 😉

That's how I read books my freshman year at Central. We'd read along to audiobooks with physical copies in hand.

Now that is pretty.

Central High School, Health class. Keith Omlid taught me CPR and the Heimlich. As for the tourniquet, I watched a bunch of films and TV (thankfully, I haven't had to use one or be put in a situation where I'd have to MacGyver one from a leather belt and a stick.)

In Long Island, the Wendy's there were higher quality. In Oregon, they're unsanitary.

Wait till your kid sees Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Fist of the nose-hair!

I was the same way with my cats, Frank and Jones.

How are you, @stephicham.com?
August 4, 2025 at 11:22 PM
I want to be a stay-at-home partner, cooking and cleaning for a gal who has an interest in me.

I, too, have similar struggles, albeit with autism, depression, and PTSD-induced flashbacks.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm a bad person to hang around, due to nilhism from a traumatic past, as well as being on the autism spectrum and naturally, without even saying anything, disturbs others, as if I were I'm a monster out of Lovecraft's stories, whose presence is enough to cause unease.

I care about you, Stephi.
July 20, 2025 at 1:58 PM
You're in my thoughts everyday, Stephi.

Come find me in Oregon, some time. Texas is less Lonestar, and more the Madhouse State.

I tried to send a text to a guy shouting "Boo!" in all caps. Instead, it auto-corrected to "Boob!"

I have those same feelings and struggles. Mostly, to wake up at a certain point, brush my teeth and shave, eat, brush my teeth again, shower before bed, take my nightly medication, and repeat. Sometimes, I forget to sleep, mostly due to layndry day.

I know of Lorde from her work with Nirvana during the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction, as well as her cover of "Are You Strong Enough to be My Man," with Haim.
July 11, 2025 at 12:51 PM
I would never have done that.
July 7, 2025 at 3:13 AM
I wish I was there with you. You can cry into my shoulder any day.
July 5, 2025 at 11:20 AM
Trust me, there's nothing you can say or do that will bring me down, except silence and indifference.

Are they from Salem? It wouldn't surprise me. Because Oregonians there are out of their minds. Trust me, I know. Monmouth and Independence are nice, though.
July 5, 2025 at 6:55 AM
@stephicham.com, you're beautiful. Always have been.

It's a real-life horror story of religious extremism and utter madness run amuck. A cautionary tale of unchecked power.
