When I was young and hanging with my great aunt’s church friends, we were walking to the store. I went to link arms with my great aunt and her friend was like, “Hey, that’s dangerous. You can’t defend yourself. Someone could jump you.” From that point, I assumed that anyone who was linking arms was, like, giving a show of dominance. Like, “Yeah, we’re linked up, because we can still take anybody even with only one arm.” Didn’t change that mindset until I was in middle school after I tried to explain to my friend how dangerous walking with her boyfriend was because “how would they defend themselves.” 🙃

My mom is treating me to a train ride for my birthday. I’ll get to ride through autumn foliage and enjoy tea and such. It lasts about 2 hours and I’m excited. 🤗

Reefer Madness (Musical), Prince of Egypt, Hunchback of Norte Dame, Marie Antoinette, Kiki’s Delivery Service.

It is insane but it’s such a good time. Just read the first chapter.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

• Inscryption: I can’t get past the Prospector. 😭
• World of Horror: 🤷🏿‍♀️
• Kunitsu-Gami: I’m at the last summit and I can’t keep this girl alive long enough. I’ve been stuck on it for days. 😠
• Silent Hill: Short Message: I got to the last chase and just didn’t care anymore. And that noise.
• Sekiro: This is one of only two “Dark Souls” games I enjoyed, but I got stuck on some guy with knives on his hands. I jumped in through the roof and found out there were smaller men with smaller knives in their hands. I tried. The game other is…
• Code Vein: I had finished that awful Bone Cathedral and was in some snowy part when THEY KNOCKED ME OFF THE EDGE AND I LOST ALL MY SHIT!

One.

I wasn’t outside all that, I didn’t need them until I started driving. By then I wore glasses, so they had to be prescription. I was excited to wear them though!

I have a food container myself since almost all of my cat’s food (that she’ll eat anyway) come in those bags that have to be clamped or tied in sole way. 😔

Lmao, I worded that wrong. Like, they should all have a way to seal them shut again. Most of them you just open, I want a little ziploc top or something

The Exorcist and Candyman.

Also, I can’t remember the name of it, but my mom was watching some movie about women in prison. And someone got mad, took out her fork from her cup noodles, and stabbed a woman in the leg. Twisted, pulled it out, wiped it in her pants and kept eating.

I was maybe 5 or 6, but I swore I would never go to prison after that. I had nightmares of that woman and that fork

I want all counties to come together and agree what sounds we use for animals.

All bags of pet food must be self sealing.

That game was sooooo fun

I’m older than YouTube.

I don’t even know of this is ChatGPT’s fault. This would be the same outcome if someone just gave them the answers to a study packet. Yes, they’ll have the answers because someone (or something) gave it to them, but won’t know how to get that answer without teaching them. Surprise: For kids to learn, they need to be taught. Shocker.

“Pop goes the weasel.” Though now that you mention it, I haven’t heard an ice cream truck in a few years.

When it comes to crafting, it’s been great. So many free resources and videos. When I was little I pretty much only knew purl and knit and shyed away from more advanced patterns. I taught myself and if I couldn’t figure it out, I just couldn’t do that pattern. Now I can get even the most difficult pattern and have someone walk me through it, either via forums, if not a knit-a-long. Almost every stitch has a video tutorial. So many free patterns. So many stitches. And even the paid patterns are so creative now. Yes, there are classics, but do you want a mermaid blanket? A Cthulhu hat? Wanna make your cat a custom sweater? It’s just a search away. You can even get specific. I joined a discord for goth stitchers. I don’t talk, but seeing the patterns and resources specifically in that niche has been great.

I general, if you want to learn how to do something, there’s a tutorial for it. I’ve fixed my toilet, done minor car maintenance, and a lot of things that I usually think I’m just too dumb to figure out. But there’s almost always someone on the internet willing to walk you through it. I sewed my first (very basic and poorly done) garment this weekend. I have always wanted to learn how to sew, and, with a second hand machine and YouTube, I took the first step. I love how easy it is to access information. I love getting lost in the rabbit hole of this new information or that new hobby. I recently asked someone how they knew the history of Vermont curry on a lemmy post. I love that shit. I loved that someone looked it up because they just wanted to know, I like that know I just know a little something extra.

I wanted to be a story board artist. I wanted to work in Animation. I just never could get work (and to be fair, I’m not the best artist). It broke my heart. I regret choosing a creative field for school. My lack of talent and forethought is something I regret. I live with the reprocussions of that choice every day. I cried when I watch Arcane. Not because of the story, but I so wished I could have been apart of that quality of artistry. Now I’m doomed to the same job I wanted to avoid because that’s a I can do (customer service based). I’ve had multiple breakdowns since college and probably will until I die 😂

I didn’t think animation would be easy, or even fun, all the time. But I wonder nearly every day how it would of panned out if I made different choices, if I was smarter, more talented, more motivated, just a better human being. Since I’llikely be working until I die, I often think do “skipping” to the end.
