She says that she was told not to bring guys home into her host's bed and she did bring two guys over but they were trying to set up a Devil's and she wasn't up for it. One of the guys stayed but didn't fuck

She tells said friend she's been doing Adderall and cocaine all week. The way she talks about the person she stayed with, it was her daughter maybe?
"Maybe I have ADHD because that was great"
I was going to mutter "no" but I'm too damn sleepy (IYKYK) from the lack of coke

She's "not from here" and has never been on the train before. Is this the one to downtown Seattle? She just hopped on one. I ponder that "Federal Way Downtown" is a shit name

Which ancestors? All of them. All of them were extremely frugal. Point of pride, they, in their frugality. Mildly disappointed in one for not taking almost-a-bribe from a bootlegger

Some of you are Mr. Money Moustache and some of you are Baron Bullion Beard and that's OK
Me? I'm doing my ancestors proud and turning fucking around with Rust and microcontrollers into something useful and open-source
Turns out I miss the work but not the managers or perf reviews

and then I guess I'm expected to take a "why don't you just forgive" lecture about how relationships work from a never-launched. who called me "apathetic" - but can you conclude someone else is apathetic when you have asked them precisely nothing? When the environment is unsafe to share feelings?

I even got blamed for my dad being in very bad pain today and not being able to make the hockey tournament. By someone who is blamed by my dad for *his* dad's death (dysfunctional families rhyme, I guess) and estranged the whole family for most of my childhood

see, I was ANTISOCIAL when I told everyone that I brought along this project I like that nobody took any interest in. I was RUDE when I told a kid not to taunt and throw things at a dog
Not zombified to Jeopardy! or MS Now? ANTISOCIAL

Like it's an honorable and divine effort to use the same hardware to hear "I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella - and I have never known defeat" so many times that the early cancer detection is a rounding error
