#not in the grocery store of all places

[ingravinoveritas]

(CW: Harassment, stalking.) I went to the grocery store this afternoon and moments after I set foot in the door, this guy started talking to me. I didn't even realize he was talking to me at first, because he was muttering something about the bus kicking him off and that he didn't know what to do. He then asked me to call him an Uber to New York, even as I was walking quickly to the produce area, and I soon realized that he was matching my pace to keep up with me. He fucking followed me from one side of the store all the way to produce, and perhaps the creepiest thing of all was that he was laughing as he followed me--this awkward, weird laugh, as if this was all supposed to be hilarious.

I literally had to say "Please do NOT follow me!" loudly to get him to stop. But what if he hadn't? He could have had a gun, or a knife, or who knows what, and I feel like I only got lucky that me saying that got him to stop. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with men to think that it's okay to follow a woman (or anyone) like this, but it was incredibly upsetting and I am still shaken up/pissed off from the whole thing...

#why do people do this #i did go to customer service and tell them what happened btw #because i didn't want him to do it someone else #and apparently they knew who he was and were trying to remove him #but what in the actual fucking hell #it's not even what happened that upsets me so much as the fact it took away my sense of security #in the idea that something like that wouldn't happen #not in the grocery store of all places #also i nearly lost my keys in another store after that #this has been a very strange day indeed #anyway i need some gifs and fics to cheer myself up #Michael/David/Ineffable Husbands #whatever anyone has #personal post

Bye thinking about Touya working at Trader Joe’s is so funny actually

#I have thought about him being like a grocery store stocker ajsjjsjddjdj #like idk ausjsjjssjsj it’s just a THOUGHT! #blasting music through his giant headphones #with stickers that u gave him on them #ur always staring at him in the aisles #BUT ANYWAYS #touya working at Trader Joe’s makes me laugh cause he is a dick<3 #how did he get hired idk he looks so mean with rbf and no one wants to go to his register #but he has to be nice when checking out so he’s like hi! :) #and then his face drops immediately when u leave wjdjjsksjsjsjsdjdbd #anyways my thoughts are all over the place bye #ghost thoughts

dishes are forever

#I MISSED HAVING A TABLET!!!! #ht papyrus #a gentle touch when you're sad #a menacing touch when it would be funny #he can do it all #LITTLE PRO TIP LIFE HACK THOUGH: IF WASHING DISHES MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET #MAYBE YOU HAVE TOO MANY DANG DISHES #BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAVE 80% FEWER DISHES THAN BEFORE MEANS I DO DISHES MORE OFTEN BUT IT'S SO EASY #AND NOT SOUL SUCKING AT ALL #JUST MY EXPERIENCE!!!!!! THAT'S ALL #I'm sure when i am reunited with my other dishes i will languish in bed staring at this psyching myself up to the task #but i like keeping random jars from food i bought and dishes that i picked up in different places. #they physically remind me of everywhere I've been and sometimes i just look at them and remember where I've been #my favorite is the old ratatouille jar i bought at carrefour in Chengdu #that jarred ratatouille was the nastiest food to grace this earth #i bought it in case it would make a quick easy meal (you don't really find those at the grocery store in China at least not back then) #but even my cheap lazy self couldn't eat it #so no one ever consumed that ratatouille but the jar was pretty big so i put other stuff in it and now it's my dish #and somehow the label is glued on PERMANENTLY it has never washed off after all these years #actually idk maybe it eventually did it isn't here for me to look at but it lasted a long time i know that

Well well well, if it isn't "I got two consecutive nights of 8+ hours of sleep so I'm having nightmares." We meet again, my old friend.

#spazzcat barks #eugh #this one was about an alien invasion #where the aliens use places like shopping centers and grocery stores as hunting grounds #if you can flee fast enough they let you escape #because they have to keep a sustainable population to hunt #and wont follow into residential areas #all attempts to communicate with them are met with death #i woke up from the first dream after escaping a large furniture store #only to fall back asleep and dream i was in walmart with my mom and my sister #begging them to leave because the warning signs of an invasion coming were starting to show #we only barely made it to my car in time before screaming started #hey brain? what the fuck man #i woke up shaking and feeling vaguely annoyed

I was looking through my parents spice cupboard and I found some old ass looking asafetida, turns outs it’s from an Indian govery store in NYC that my mom bought sometime in the mid 1980s

#we cooking with it tonight woooooo #also to me it being from an Indian grocery store in NYC is important cause we’re in Alaska and it obviously from India #so it’s doubly traveled places I’ve never been #the fucking chaos that is my family’s life and house means I find treasures like this all the time #googoogajoob

Nine people I'd like to get to know better

...except I'm getting to this very late and have no idea who has or hasn't done this yet, so consider this a free-for-all for anyone wanting to do this, too!

Last song: Follow Fi (extended) - good background noise when I'm working on my websites :)

Bregan D'aerthe fan-site will be returning soon-ish btw! PROBABLY in April or May but it really depends on how much more our relocation is gonna keep getting pushed back :(

Favourite colour: I am a BIG fan of colors just in general but um...

GREEN. Let's just say 'green' and make this a bit easier.

Last tv show/movie: Oh lord... I really don't watch tv much at all. As in... I've watched 1 show in the last 3 years, which is the Loki series.

Spicy/sweet/savoury: Mostly savory with a bit of spice. I do not usually like mixing sweet and savory. There's an Indian restaurant around here that makes great tikka masala and if I could only eat ONE meal for the rest of my life it would be that.

Last game: Minecraft. I was feeling a bit cynical after corporate put up some more ~woo~ feel-good brainwashing customer service posters so I fought back by putting up signs in my spooky scary underground dungeon saying shit like "positive vibes only" and a few other things that might be too much of a giveaway for where I work so I won't share them (YET!)

Last thing i google "do people seriously believe this crap?" with absolutely no added context because that's the mood I was in

@foxboyclit thank you for tagging me in this, it was fun!

#is this the room of a 5 year old or a 30+ year old with adhd and too much creativity to contain? #actually it has changed a bit since I took that photo given that it's been a year #but overall it's still very similar #the ghost is gone because the string broke and I couldn't be arsed to fix it #so now there's the giant spider web in its place #the flowery table cover was replaced with a lace spider web for Lolthmas and I still haven't changed it back #during covid when I was working in a hippie woo grocery store at the height of it all I got seriously depressed #I couldn't go anywhere the way my hours were #so I turned my room into an enchanted forest and tbh it's really serene. my cat is hopelessly in love with my little red rose pillows. #this is the longest I've left my room looking more or less the same #I get an urge to redecorate every 6 months like clockwork but it's been this way for 4 years now I think #taking everything down when I relocate is gonna suck but my next room/office is gonna be Underdark themed so... WORTH IT #I already have the custom printed mural :'D #the new mural is a lot less cartoonish and a bit more uh... GROWN-UP lol but still very pretty #cw: taxidermy #<- just in case since I have one of my foxes and coywolves in the photo #disclaimer: the pelts in this photo are super old and were not killed by me or for the purpose of taxidermy

did i ever mention those fake cigarettes i made out of construction paper that i hid all over our house? because my brother found one and he's unfortunately trying to perfect his 'flicking a cigarette into his sibling's face' skill

#just me hi #help me i'm under attack hfbhfhs #i'm still proud that my short self managed to tape one to the 8 foot tall ceiling and none of my siblings could touch it ehehegh #anyway he threw it at my face and it just went WAHPC against my glasses lol #/he is gone now. vanished. poofed. disappeared #to that mysterious place we all know‚ with its tall walls that never touch the ceiling and the feeling of forgetting something increases: #the grocery store :) #anyway i'm off now #i am trying to finish a youtube playlist and by golly i will #watch me!! [rolls down a very steep hill and soon you can't see me]

Everything repeats and yet I still keeping missing the signs

#vent.txt #I want to be able to handle things better but I don't know how #I'm constantly fucking up and ruining things #I think I have what it takes to do something special but I know in the end I'll just be stuck at some grocery store or fast food place #Graphic Designer? Game Developer? Lead Artist? Yeah fucking right #I barely have motivation to draw anymore. all I ever want to do is play games #I'm a worthless nobody that no one would miss if I was dead. #I need a break

so. my month from hell got worse. my grandfather died last night. he died of complications from covid.

put on a goddamn mask, people.

#'oh but it's uncomfortable it makes me too hot i can't see people's faces covid is over' #shut the fuck up my grandfather died alone thinking everyone had forgotten about him #ask me how little i care about you being inconvenienced by wearing a mask in the grocery store and healthcare settings #I realize the world has decided it's acceptable to be a selfish fuckwaffle and go around killing grandparents and other high risk people #but that's actually a fucking insane way to go about life so put the goddamn mask on in crowded places #i'm probably not going to be around for a bit just fyi #i'll try to be here on halloween as usual #just wanted to give a quick update and tell you all to put on a mask because covid is really bad again and everything is hellish out there #do your part to make it slightly less hellish #personal
