a long, totally non-psychotic, mini(?) rant about the beatles that's too long and embarrassing for twt
okay so i've recently come out of a SECOND months-long stint of...kim heechul/suju stuff and it's left me kinda...lacking something to fixate on. so rn my temp fix is...the beatles?? and like i've liked their music since i was a little kid, but i haven't had an extended phase of listening to their music since like..10th grade? so this is kinda weird and embarrassing to me but whatever, here are some of my favorite songs by them and why in no particular order!
twist and shout - highlight here besides the gen early 60s feel and 100% john's vocals. there's something really refreshing(?) and youthful about the way he yells the entire song. and ofc the "woooo"s + head shakes are so cute
she loves you - yeah yeah yeah
paperback writer - idk it's a classic
day tripper - idk it's a classic + the fucking GUITAR RIFF
can't buy me love - idk it's a classic. earworm
a hard day's night - idk IT'S A CLASSIC
i feel fine - the pep. the harmonies. im in love with her and i feel fine
eight days a week - sweet song. makes you feel good
i'm a loser - that first harmony just snatches you in. idc. i get it i love it
help! - the 2nd song i consciously knew was by the beatles and i liked it loads more than "i wanna hold your haaaaaaand". i like the bridge the most
yellow submarine - it's in my range and probably by 2nd favorite ringo song? and it's silly
taxman - shit slaps. one of my fav harrison songs. "yeaaaaahhhh the taxmaaaan" is up there for me
here, there, and everywhere - i cried. hard. twice. i tear up thinking about this song. idk how you can go through life normally knowing paul mccartney wrote this about you
i'm only sleeping - hear this for the first time recently and it reminded me of sleeping sun by coldplay and some popular US songs from the 90s...
good day sunshine - lol another i heard in a CM at some point but did not know it was the beatles...it's happy i like it
and your bird can sing - but you don't get me. but you don't get. meeeeee. i can't believe john hate this?? it's so good??? the fucking guitars like???
hello, goodbye - first heard this in the 2007 target commercial. loved it ever since. i really like all of it but the "she says why and i say i don't know" and "why why whywhywhywhy do you say goodbye goodbyeeeeeebyebyebyebye" are stand out parts to me!
back in the ussr - fun : )
glass onion - that fucking recorder towards the end. amazing
blackbird - one of those songs you hear so randomly just..around that you forget/don't know it's the beatles
while my guitar gently weeps - liked this one as a kid when i was feeling emo lololol. good song though : )
[faves from rubber soul, sgt pepper's, and abbey road get their own section (bc these are the only albums i've listened to all the way through...)]
songs that i don't really like but are meaningful in some way
i want to hold your hand - probably the first beatles song i ever heard? or at least consciously knew was by the beatles. bc my kindergarten music teacher made us learn the lyrics and sing it in class
eleanor rigby - ik this is a popular song but the first time i heard it was when my 3rd grade teacher played it backwards to show us how the beatles were connected to the illuminati and devil worship so. i still feel uneasy whenever i hear it. can't sit through the whole song :(
do you want to know a secret - okay i actually don't dislike this song, it's just that i listened to it so much during like 8th/9th grade that im tired of hearing it. still a good song though
yesterday - again it's not that i hate it or anything but lol it's overplayed. meaningful bc it's one of those songs you know at least a few words to even if you haven't heard the whole thing (which i have. too many times.)
all you need is love - not bad but a commercial song in my mind
i am the walrus - scared me as a child but i don't hate it now. coo-coo-kachoo
strawberry fields forever - scared me as a child but i don't hate it now
happiness is a warm gun - super mixed feelings. is it about heroin? sex with yoko ono? are one of those options actually better than the other??? but i fuck with the ending "happinessssss bang bang shoog shoog"
get back/don't let me know/let it be - mixed feelings so i have to be in a specific mood to listen to these
rubber soul (favorites in bold)
drive my car - not my favorite but i loooove the "beep beep beep beep yeah"
norwegian wood - one of the one's i did not listen to as child but as of literally yesterday, i love it. wish it were not inspired by affairs but. like damn the sitar. the general vibes. isn't it good? norwegian wood
you won't see me - i like it. for years i had only heard the chorus so the actual song was a bit different than i'd expected but it's good. "you refuse to even listeeeeen" i like. also the gradual tempo shift!! oooooooo lalala
nowhere man - WOW. okay so when i was little and heard a snippet of the chorus, i had 0 interest in listening to the full song. yesterday, though, that fucking intro caught me so off guard. the slight beachy vibes. paul calling this an "anti-john song" like wow. it's just a 10/10 laaaaaaaalalalalala
think for yourself - rock band trailers fucked this up for me a bit bc i always expect it to lead into the wait chorus. the actual chorus fucks though. i like it
the word - she's silly. she's 60s. she's pop. not my favorite, but those harmonies on "so fine" and "sunshine". man
michelle - loved this since i was 10. it's calming, it fucks. i don't fuck with french but. "until i do im hoping you will know what i mean" and "I LOVE YOUUUUUU" and the guitar solo. the fucking tempo shift
what goes on - ...country. hear fairly often as a kid though but didn't know it was beatles
girl - another one i had no interest in (and was slightly scared of) as a kid based on the chorus but oof. love the comparison between this and michelle. we live for europeans being european in different flavors. also this songs feels like drugs. could be hallucinating but it feels like there's a sliiiight tempo shift here too? or at least it feels like it slows juuuust a bit
i'm looking through you - arguably my favorite beatles song as a child. had me in a chokehold in 2009. "why why tell me why did you not treat me right?" "your lips are moving i cannot heard your voice is soothing but the words aren't clear"
in my life - much much more appreciated now that im older. didn't listen to this much when i was little but i've always always loved the riff and ending. maybe one of my favorite song endings ever
wait - something is kinda catchy about it. idk
if i needed someone - 60s feel. the harmonies are so nice. this is like an honorable mention for me
run for your life - ah nothing like references to violence against women to bring out that 60s feeling : ) shame the chorus is so catchy
sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band
splhcb - yes. billyyyyyyyy shearsssssssssss
with a little help from my friends - YES. probably my favorite ringo song "do you neeeeeeeed anybody?"
lsd - not my favorite. drugs are bad. however i listened to this once when i was extremely drunk (i don't do any other drugs so) and i kinda got it? still not my favorite though
getting better - ah nothing like reference to violence against women to bring out that 60s feeling : ) paul is cute "me hiding me head in the sand" i really like this song but jesus john. i just it's better to admit and ask for forgiveness but. lord. but yeah this is a song that like...jabs you musically from the outset
fixing a hole - actually obsessed. this slaps, it fucks, it calms you down, hypes you up. im right where i belonggggg. that fucking guitar solo
she's leaving home - had only heard a bit of the chorus as a kid. was NOT expecting the entire song to sound how it does. cried on one listen. very beautiful
being for the benefit of mr. kite - the thing i like the most about this is the title
within you within out - ummm couldn't make it through the whole thing. christian upbringing means it gives me hives a little
when i'm sixty four - i liked it as a kid, i like it now. i will always be a supporter of paul's granny shit. it's cute. honorable mention for me
lovely rita - words cannot express how much i like this song. i liked it as a kid, i LOVE it now. the harmonies on "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDD aaaaaahhhhhhhh" also paul sound so british the entire time. "luvely rita mitah maid" "little white buke" "made her luke a little like a militry man" "may i inquire discRReetly when are you free to take some tea with MEEEE" it's a time. it's cute, a bit silly, and at the end you get sex! the bassline, the piano, the mouth chkchckchk, the fucking kazoo, i love it. Rita!
good morning good morning - another song i swear i've heard a bit of in a commercial or radio but i can't remember when/where. kinda makes me sad that john ended up not liking it, cause i like it. i get it. plus it sounds like morning.
splhcb reprise - i love it
a day in the life - scared me as a child but even then it kept it's alluring quality to me. not my absolute favorite, but i understand why some ppl regard it to be their best song
abbey road
come together - idk what to say. this is iconic music
something - heard for the first time yesterday and WOW. again idk what to say. shit is GOOD. song that makes you shut up
maxwell's silver hammer - ...i've loved this since 2009. and recording began on my birthday so it's always felt kinda special to me. ik she has haters but im glad paul made it. i live on corn. but also putting this right after something was a set up mayhaps
oh! darling - this FUCKS. don't think i have to say anything else. used to scare me a bit as a kid but i still listened
octopus's garden - def heard as a kid pre-2009 but idk where. not my fav but feels nostalgic
i want you (she's so heavy) - hm...i appreciate this as a piece of music although it's not my personal favorite. like i can its importance to the genre while still skipping. the outro is fucking insane though. and the scream
here comes the sun - do i even have to say anything? beyond "thank you parent trap soundtrack" probably the 3rd beatles song i'd ever heard
because - not a favorite but i like it
medley - you never give me your money will ALWAYS take me back to summer 2019 where i saw the opening lyrics as a metaphor for my own financial issues and depression. wild shit. sun king is like a peak 7pm summer song. love it. another song that makes you shut up. mean mr. mustard and polythene pam i've always loved since i was 10. they're fun to me. the bassline in mmm fucks hard. yeahhhh yeah yeah. in she came in through the bathroom window i like "sunday's on the phone to monday. tuesday's on the phone to me". golden slumbers i like less but i like the quiet parts and how it leads into carry that weight. one of the few times i want paul to not yell. carry that weight feels like the ending of a movie + the link back to yngmym. then you get to the end. which is just. wow. how many other groups can say they've ended their career on something like that? paul yelling, the solos, "love you love you"
and in the end, the love you take
is equal to the love you make.
(jk ik her majesty's a pretty nice girl. i also view this more as an easter egg but i do like it for a personal reason)

i might start posting long personal stuff on here more often
hardly anyone i know irl follows me here so there's no like...expectation for someone to acknowledge (validate) what im saying like there is for me on twitter...
it's been over a month since i left japan but sometimes i think about going back. there were so many things i disliked, but i liked my autonomy, i liked traveling, i liked my routine and lifestyle (the good parts, at least). i think it's just hard being back in the suburbs where you can't do anything or go anywhere if you don't have a car. im also low on cash, so not much money to splurge on fun stuff. which really doesn't matter too much because i leave for grad school next week
i have a summer assignment and my lack of motivation to start working on it kinda scares me. like is this a precursor to a year of struggling with procrastination? or am i just not grad school material? im going for something stupid that isn't work much money, but would hopefully help my resume stand out? even though articles say that's one of the worse reasons to get a master's. idk i just thought it'd help me decide if i wanted to pursue a PhD and help me stall from job searching. i don't have a lot of confidence in my ability as a student, never have really, so im feeling..a lot as next week approaches. i also haven't received my stipend yet but im too scared to ask about it so that's fun
i don't wanna put too much faith in one thing, but im hoping if i can get back on a nice daily schedule once im on campus, i'll be in a better headspace to work on academic stuff and somehow get through the year. idk, we'll see

more stuff that's too long, too tmi for twitter
it's been 8 years (oof) since i had my initial sexuality crisis and it seems like i've had (am having??) one again. august seems like a special month for me.
alll the way back in 2014/15, i had that period where i felt super uncomfortable looking at women's bodies bc i was trying to..repress something. and then for like 3 days i thought i was homoromantic het bc i needed some explanation that was not "i'm gay". then i had my little ace rabbit hole spiral, freaked out for a couple days, then realized that im asexual. het ace. and i felt so firm in this sexuality that i summed up my suppressed preoccupation with women's breasts, thighs, etc. as aesthetic appreciation. a superficial one at that. nothing deep. bc im still partially straight
then in 2016, i had my first(?) crush on a girl in the most stereotypical, cliche way possible and i didn't know what to do with myself for a whole year. so that was the beginning of my bi(romantic)-questioning saga.
in 2017, i ran into the same girl again but didn't have my dokidoki kyun moment so i figured i had overreacted and was still straight. the rest of 2017-2018 was me being het ace but getting bolder and bolder about looking at girls, thinking about girls, making jokes about being a lesbian, etc.
things kinda reached a head in 2019?? i had a really bad crush on a girl (+ maybe 2-3 minor ones??) but i gaslit myself out of all of them and i generally started realizing that my thoughts..were not straight. ((me watching chuang with my mom around this time and noting how i felt/reacted to seeing some of the girls kinda had a big impact too)) cue a 4 year bi-questioning era. which i also kinda felt would be impossible to figure out bc on top of being ace, i also have a big fear of like...non-sexual intimacy with other ppl?? + relationship commitment/expectations? so i was kinda like, if i scared to date a girl, how am i supposed to know whether i actually like girls???
but then after 4 years of "idfk" this year, i at least came to the conclusion/realization that all those crushes i retconned in my memory were actual crushes. with all the same physical reactions and emotions i'd felt before with boys. so now i have tentatively slapped the label bi ace on myself. but now im kinda ??? bc i've never really identified as lgbt. seeing all the discourse around asexuals, esp het aces, made me kinda feel like there was no need to identify as lgbt. but now im like...what. do i do? im also kinda 😬 thinking about all the times i led my brother to believe i was gay...and now that it's not really a joke anymore the consequences of my actions are 🥹 which is fun :)))
but whatever. in short, i am a dumbass. idk what im doing but i doubt i'll ever come out to my parents at this point. does that actually matter? idk. i don't know anything. i hope nobody reads this. i have no profound thoughts or insight to offer

let’s pretend im in EST
referencing this post from last year. i can’t believe it’s been 5 years since i started doing this... um. this was our first full year of covid and a LOT of life changes happened for me. i think 2021 was an okay year overall for me though. really thankful that those close to me stayed safe the whole year
good things that happened:
finally got a 3rd piercing!
got to attend my last few classes and a*ko in-person

and my friends :)
i7 without actually playing i7
exercised consistently for a while and got better at dancing (imo)
just dancing in general
finally go to go to japan, just in time before things got shut down again
quarantine tonkatsu
bought some cute clothes
babbies first series
that electric citrus sake
i watched so many good anime this year, it was kinda ridiculous
took N2 (probably passed) and felt like my japanese imprved a lot
im also writing this from tokyo and i got to do lots of fun stuff here
possibly 4/6 goals completed? i took the N2 but don’t have results yet and uh...i have no control over ending covid...or getting my license at this point. but everything else i did more or less!
2022:
i want to improve my japanese (especially speaking skills)...maybe aim for N1 and pass??
i want to see some personal and professional growth in my job
i want to improve my self-control and budget better (or rather stick to my budget more)
i want to apply to a good grad school program (and get accepted and fully funded!)
i want to stick to my loan payment timeline
still wanna exercise more consistently and eat better
i wanna move to a better apartment!
maybe...make a japanese friend? or just a close by friend
I WANT TO BE OSHARE and i really want to find a fashion style that suits me
want to explore japan more
...maybe join a local organization..like taiko?

stay safe from covid!
oops many goals now. guess i am...“adulting”

oyasumi punpun
*6 years later*
got too embarrassing to leave on twitter so i’m putting these here:
i tried to read oyasumi punpun when i was 15 and it was too much for me. i think because i had started reading violent manga like tokyo ghoul the year before, i thought i could handle adult themes. i think i heard somewhere that opp was the first manga to show female pubic hair??
at any rate, on top of the sexual content, which i was unfamiliar with, the overall tone was so grim...i felt like the more i read, the heavier and darker i felt. so about 30 chapters in, i stopped and told myself i'd finish it when i was older. 
i did a lot of stupid shit as a kid, but i'm still a little surprised that i actually came to the conclusion that i was probably too young to be reading it if it was making me feel so bad emotionally. and then me actually putting it down and walking away. 
so almost 7 years later i have finally finished! i thought it'd be different this time since i've had depression and read porn now and i was right. that heavy feeling i used to get never really came. maybe it wasn't the best manga to read when i'm kinda sad, but it was good. 
i guess it's obvious but i feel like i have some sort of proof that i've matured? sometimes i feel like a kid, sometimes i'm starkly and abruptly aware that i'm an adult.

re: acnh 2020
i wanna post this on twitter but it’s super fucking long
Recently, I saw a video about playing acnh during quarantine vs afterwards and it inspired me to start playing again. The guy in the video basically had the same experience I did where he played for hours during March/April 2020, trying to catch up/compete with his friends but ultimately ended up overwhelmed and discouraged knowing that he just...never would.
iirc, I played every day from March 20th to around the end of May/early June. There was just so much I wanted to do and it wasn't just my friends' islands I'd compare mine to, but also like...hundreds of people on the internet who'd post their amazing designs and layouts. It's not like I was unhappy with my island, but I knew certain things just weren't possible for me to create and that frustrated me. Every morning as soon as I woke up, I’d open ACNH so I could:
check my mail
buy/sell turnips (I spent HOURS on turnip exchange)
water my hybrid flower patches
check nook’s crossing for new items
check town hall’s catalogue for new items
check able and sister’s for new clothes
collect the daily DIY in a bottle
harvest foreign fruit from my (4) groves
Outside of my morning routine, I’d spent even more time doing construction on the island, decorating my home, flying to friends’ islands for DIYs or cataloguing, making pro designs, searching for rare islands and cuter villagers, trying to catch all the seasonal bugs and fish, so on and so forth. It was extremely fun, but after 2 months, it began to wear on me. The beginning of the end was definitely the Flick Incident.
To sum things up neatly, one of my friends and I began storing our bugs so we could sell them to Flick at a higher price. Even though most guides at the time said that Flick should visit every 2 weeks, he didn’t show up on my island until ~5 weeks after I’d started stashing my bugs. It was torture because I’d wake up every morning hoping that today was finally the day I could stop playing from 5-7pm just to farm expensive butterflies, could stop having an entire section of my island lag horribly because there were so many bugs in one spot, could finally earn my bells and begin construct on the spaces taken up. And every day for 5-ish weeks, he wasn’t there. Everyday, I became angrier and angrier. On top of that, I was still trying to get my island to 5*, get KK to come, search every night for shooting stars to get DIY materials, get more bells so I could expand my home-- it was just a mess. I had random, ugly villagers I hated but couldn’t afford to spend hours searching for new ones. I’d spend about 3-4 hours a week searching for the islands with good turnip prices and low visit fees. All the while, I’m still trying to copy other people’s designs to make my island look nicer. (I also went back to work in May while I was enrolled in a summer class, so there’s some extra outside stress.) 
All this to say, there were a lot of things making me unhappy and waiting for Flick was adding fuel to the fire. But eventually Flick came and I got my bells. I finished my big plan for a playground area. I wished on lots of shooting stars. I made millions of bells on turnips. I reached my last house expansion. Things were...okay. Just okay because by now, I was forcing myself to play. Near the end, I was so tired of the game, I’d finish my morning routine and not touch it until the next day. The very last straw was when I started crying over the prospect of buying $30-50 amiibo cards. I had like this moment of clarity like...why the fuck am I crying over a video game? Because I don’t want to spend more money on it? Because I’ve grown that frustrated? If I’m unhappy, then what’s the point of playing?
I still played every morning for maybe a week after that, but one day I kinda told myself, “If I don’t wanna play anymore, then just stop” and so I did. Everyday became once every few days, then once a week, then...nothing. I felt disappointment that there was seemingly nothing left I wanted to do on my island, but I also felt intense relief not forcing myself to play anymore.
So, fast forward a year and some change after launch and I watch this video. After taking a break from the game, he talks about how he came back and learned to just...enjoy it. For himself, at his own pace. And then I started to wonder if 10 months was long enough for me to restart. So I charged my dead switch and started to play.
I think today is the...3rd(?) day in a row I’ve opened acnh. Most of my friends don’t play anymore and those who do don’t post about their islands often. I don’t have switch online now, so it’s not like I can them visit either. I feel like I’ve missed a lot, but I’m excited to try things differently this time. Maybe I’ll make it to Fall this year. Or maybe I’ll be stop after the bug tourney. I’m not sure. Now is not the best time in my life to dive headfirst back into playing but I don’t know. Maybe just for this spring break, I need a little time to myself and this is how I’ll get it.
