Getting Real.

I joined Chris’s live just to be there and he was lagging and everyone automatically started hating. So I commented that everyone should chill out and stuff and QUICKLY others started to attack me💀 One person even went as far as to say I was trying to act “special”. Babe. I am not. Bring back FANS. Not haters.

(This fan-base makes it so hard to continue being a fan. I love the boys to pieces but the “fans” are so unnecessarily rude.)

I just checked when I posted my first Sonic fic to ao3 - April 4 2022. I had been into Sonic for a few months before that, so that means I've been in the fandom for 2 years now.

I know, just a baby noob compared to some.

But I'm so thankful and grateful for the people I've met through it. Super talented writers and artists and loyal readers and people who put up with my rambles and theorizing and psyche deep dives.

I joined Tumblr and then Discord to keep yapping about these goofy little critters, and really enjoy the interaction and spitballing and spontaneous scenes that develop from just tossing ideas back and forth.

I know this reads like a farewell letter, and I promise it's not! I just got a little mushy thinking about everything.

So I'm sending out hugs and kisses and fist bumps and forehead presses to everyone out there who reads my little brain droppings, and chats with me, and just puts up with me. You don't know how much I appreciate you all, and enjoy our interactions.

2/7/24

I am taking my lunch to get some treadmill time in... but also might need a vent. I am struggling with keeping my job but also scared of positions that would move me out of production. Without my OT I am just a salty cuss. Behind on everything and overwhelmed with assignments. I felt like they were fucking with me, even though we are supposed to have flex time AND make up time. They were trying to make me take PTO for some medical appointments. God damn, if I could just give up this job. 😪 I love it. I hate it. It is a very bipolar relationship.

What else? I am in the middle of some really heavy books (all borrowed so I have to give them return soon) and people keep interrupting my books.

And the friend that recently started yet another MLM business.... is now all over social media saying how great the opportunity is and blah blah blah. I am creating a boundary where I don't give her negative feedback, I don't want to hinder and progress she might be able to make.

But come on, man. It feels disingenuous at best. Inauthentic. Maybe I should hide her profile.

Maybe just everyone is annoying me?

Friends talking about going to the casino? Eh.

Why? Because my other friend has a fucking disastrous gambling addiction and is working himself to death. And everytime he makes a post about his winnings, I cringe. He has high interest loans out. Nothing i have said to him has gotten thru.

Every time I ask him to hang out, he is "working." But will definitely ask me to watch his dog so he can vacay. And now it is tax season, he has filed already and he is literally chomping at the bit to get his hands on that refund money. For a "vacation" weekend.

Jesus fucking christ man, get ahold of yourself. If you want to go, fine... but fucking save for it and stop messaging me, I have my own shit going on.

And me? I am feeling stuck since mom's illness last april. I need to get registered for classes again. 😩 I need to start making progress on something. I have plateaued weight wise and my mental state is just eh, when it should be burning with the fire of a thousand suns to fucking get this weight off. 😤

So what do I do? Go to Walmart and look at diet pills. (I am already on many things- but why am I compelled to keep looking??) I have a bunch of stuff that I struggle to use regularly enough for it to work properly.

I continue to be weighed down by the things that have been bothering me. Bills, school, taxes, work, clutter and I barely am making it from day to day and only then normally by the skin of my teeth, a happylight and a metric shitton of bergamot tea and anything else that will boost mood.

I have developed an affection for CBD products and I need to stop ordering it because it makes me eat stuff that I have purchased for mom. But it makes me feel good in the moment so I do it. 😱😱🤯👀

Guys it's 1am here and I can't sleep because I am in pain and I am in no mood for the discourse on my ask box but to be perfectly honest I wouldn't be in the mood for discourse even if it was 2pm on a glorious beach and I could do cartwheels over and over and never knew the concept of back pain.

If you have some form of anger and want to lash it out in a nonsensical way and you are able to do cartwheels I would suggest that. Takes up energy and by the end of doing maybe 30 of them you will feel better.

You don't get to lash out your rage on me, and I will not dignify this nonsense with any response. And that is that.

A girl's gotta have boundaries even on tumblr, this is still the internet.

Thank you for those who understand and send me so many sweet messages. Even though I cannot reply them all, I do read all of them. So much love for you guys. Thank you. 🥰🥹

You know what sucks? Guys being dudes and me having an intense fear of rejection/imposter complex when it comes to guys liking me back and assuming the worst

How do you begin to feel love when you aren’t able to recognize it?

They say, “love is all around you. Look high, look low, look at the kindness of strangers, animals, anywhere, it’s there, all you have to do is look.” I gotta say, love could be spitting in my face right about now, and I wouldn’t know it…

Sometimes, depending on your mood, it’s hard to reach for a feeling that you’re honestly maybe a little bitter about not easily being able to hold. And you see others, and their friends, and their families, and their loved ones, and their loving children, and their loyal pets, and their adoring followers, and groups and communities they belong to and with, and their seemingly fantastic existences living lives that you can’t figure out how to achieve from your standpoint, let alone your viewpoint.

You (meaning me) will never get there from here. Here, is the regurgitation of the old, played out stories that I keep telling myself and subsequently experiencing in my precious head space in the present moment. So how does one marry their desires with what the present 3 dimensional reality keeps repeating with the same thoughts creating the same outcomes?

Food for thought. And believe me, I ate a ton over the last few years. But, I have decided to get up out of my bed now, no matter how hard it is to shake my current hopeless mindset, and move. Make one move, that’s it. One physical action toward something else. I will put on my leggings and walk on the treadmill.

One of my dogs is here to remind me that life is now.

She has amazing sense of timing. Right when I need her most… she needs me back. I’m a part of Hazel’s pack, and proud of it. Laundry can wait (but not another month…) 🙂💓

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

#self #last night i kept stimming thinking about this LOVE IS AO REAL. AUGH #i dont like damming but this is a step in the right direction AND it gets the public involved #i love that! more public interactions like this in ecology please! thats how you bring change! thats how you make ppl see the beauty in life #marine biology #ecology

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

Le sigh.

Was feeling nauseous so I thought this would be nice. Almost 400 cals.

And why? Where? Why is tracking so important, you ask....?

This bread is the low calorie sara Lee stuff. 90 c Sugar free jam. 20 c, generous portion.

Yep. I apparently ate well over 200 cals of peanut butter.

On a meal that to be honest, was not that satisfying.

Next time- more volume, less peanut butter.

There's no fucking way they just named their new sonic game "Sonic X Shadow". They're literally making me type "sonic x shadow" into the steam search bar to see this game I literally can't even comprehend this. Mom can I get the new sonic game for christmas sure little timmy whats it called? Okay let me just type "sonic x shadow" into the google search- . . . timmy . . .

#sonic #Do you think they did this so that when you search sonic x shadow you get a real game instead of hedgehog yaoi

Watching how two dogs who love each other will sometimes still nip each other on the ear, bug them while they sleep, etc... watching how cats will snuggle with their buddy all day and then paw-smack 'em in the face, chase them, play-fight...

Makes me, as a fellow social mammal, feel better about my urge to be incredibly annoying to another human sometimes. Like, yeah. Of course I wanna bug you. Of course it's fun to annoy you. We're social creatures and annoyance can be part of play, something we all need. And I watch these dogs who get their ears nipped, cats who get smacked out of a nap, and despite BEING annoyed, they don't stop loving their packmate. After they finish play-fighting, they're back to snuggling and grooming and sleeping together. BEING annoyed is also just part of being in a social group and having relationships... and that's okay. It doesn't erase love or necessarily make them mad or affect them in the long term... a loved one being annoyed with me is a temporary feeling that's normal for social creatures. An annoyance that wouldn't be possible WITHOUT that love

#and much like dogs and cats #we have ways of saying 'not right now i don't wanna play grr get away for real' #which is when the deescalation kicks in

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

#linguistics #gen z slang #english #as people in the reblog pointed out! #most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave #honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English #instead of ridiculing speakers #and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang #in that much of it was appropriated #and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave #aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language #and the grammar is incredible!!! #habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary #and the phonology is just beautiful #anyway I’m very sorry #I fucked up
