CONGRATULATIONS TO LA RESISTANCE!

Our main March Madness bracket is over, and we’ve determined the most loved song among the South Park Fandom: La Resistance!

It was a close match until the very end, and we want to thank everybody who took the time to vote in any one of our polls. You helped make this March Madness possible, and we’re very happy with both the turnout and the result. Viva La Resistance!

While our main bracket is over, we may be holding a few more polls for songs that the fandom believes were unfairly voted against, or for songs that might not have been included in the bracket at all. If you are interested in seeing any particular polls, please send us an ask with the details! We’d love to see what other songs are favored by the community.

Once again, thank you for voting! Until our next event!

MINOR CHARACTER MARCH MADNESS

Get ready for a March Madness Tournament for all the kid characters who exist only in the background, or only once, or just not nearly enough times in South Park. Each poll will last a day, with multiple polls going every day (at least for the start). I tried my best to pick truly minor characters but if you think one isn't minor enough or are sad I forgot one... sorry I don't feel like rearranging the entire tournament at this point 😅

Each character has been sorted into seeds 1-16 based on how prevalent I think they still are in people's memories and then paired up just like regular March Madness (i.e. 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, etc) so apologies if some early match ups seem unfair. It'll hopefully make any upsets that much more exciting!

AITA for not confirming where my mom was supposed to pick me up?

To start this off, I (16F) am a senior in high school and the section leader of my marching band's saxophone section. I always need to arrive a bit early to practice and put in my 100% effort to be a good example for the first-year marchers and other saxophonists. After doing all of the work that I do keeping track of 7 people on the field at all times and counting and playing and marching, I can usually expect one of my parents to pick me up at some point in time at a specific spot. We always pick a specific spot for me to wait at because if I wait somewhere else, my parents might get confused and just leave.

At some point in time, my mom (43F) received an email from one of the other band parents telling her to pick me up at the PAC, an entrance on the opposite side of the building. Due to this, we both spent half an hour waiting for the other to arrive before I finally decided to text her. "Are you on the way?" I asked casually, in case she wasn't on the way and might be mad at me for interrupting a meeting or something. She responded by saying "I have been waiting out front for 30 minutes. Your brother is upset."

So, seeing her message, I walked to the front office. The school's entrances form a sort of compass rose, with the front office being in the north, the band door the east, the welding doors the south, and the PAC in the west. If I had known that she was in the PAC, I could have simply walked the short hallway from the band door to the PAC. However, she told me that she was at the front, which is how she refers to the front office. Upon reaching the front office, I texted her again, asking, "where are you? I don't see your car here." And she responded with "I'm in the PAC parking lot." So. I had to walk all the way around the school building to reach the PAC, and the instant I opened the car door, she began yelling slurs at me for not simply going to the PAC, which was where she was the whole time, and why did I not know that.

The reason I'm asking this is because she had a point. I could have asked anyone at any time and they might have been able to tell me where my mom would pick me up at. While she didn't tell me herself, I probably shouldn't have assumed that she would be at our usual spot, especially after seeing some kids get picked up from where she was at.

So, tumblr. Am I the asshole for not asking someone where I was supposed to get picked up?

What are these acronyms?

Ectoberhaunt 2023. Day Four

"Zombies"

Ao3

Warning: General zombie apocalypse atmosphere.

-

Danny dragged his feet on the ground and growled every few steps, blending seamlessly with the herd.

A few feet away, a kid sobbed quietly beneath a car, attracting the dead to them.

Danny cursed in his head and groaned loudly, hurrying his dragged steps away from there, and the dead, mindless as they were, followed him.

He looked around himself moving only his eyes; he didn’t want any survivor to shoot him thinking he was fully dead, so he had to watch out.

Once he was sure there were no other people around, Danny ducked into an alley and leaned against a wall, groaning for real this time.

“Man, who would’ve thought playing dead would need so much walking.” He let his hoodie fall and pulled down his balaclava, revealing his black hair with a white stripe running from his nape to his forehead. Taking off a dirty glove, he rubbed at his green eye, sighing tiredly as he looked around again.

The alley was packed, but the dead paid him no mind, as usual, unless he wanted them to.

‘The dead go after people even if they are at the brink of death’ factoid is actually just a statistical error. Zombies Daniel, who is half dead and goes mostly ignored by them all, is an outlier and should not be counted.

Danny chuckled to himself and opened his water bottle to take long gulps from it, and then started considering what to do now. He hadn’t planned on cleaning the streets today, he was just doing some recon of the travellers, to see if they could be a treat to Amity Park. But if they had kids with them…

Danny sighed again and took his radio from one of the many hidden pockets in his raggedy-looking outfit and held it up to his mouth.

“Phantom to Mad Scientist, do you copy, Mad Scientist?”

“Mad Scientist to Phantom. Report.” Came his mom’s clear voice, and Danny smiled.

Though the radio, his parents would be strictly professional, sometimes bordering on cold, but the moment he was within their reach he was engulfed in a double bear hug that lifted his half-dead self off his feet.

“The ants are marching south, but a buzzard found them but I drove it away. No ant down that I saw.”

“How long will it take you to come back?”

Danny knew he had a contrite expression on his face when he said, “They have kids with them.”

There was a long, stretched silence where they argued with no words; his mom wouldn’t say something that could give anything away: their relationship, how important was Danny in the city, the resources they had; but she knew him, his sense of duty, his drive to protect others, how stubborn he could be, and how powerful. And Danny knew that she knew.

“Be careful out there. Don’t take unnecessary risks, and be back before sundown. Copy that?” She said at last.

“Copy. Phantom out.”

He turned off his radio and pocketed it again; then, he unsheathed his trusty dagger and set to work, one dead at a time.

right where you left me | Park Sunghoon

Synopsis - Soomin does the same thing every day. Wake up, take the train to school, spend hours on end learning, take the train home, study, sleep, and repeat the process. One unlucky day, it is all put to a stop. And a certain school mate is there to help where he can.

Warning - Gore, zombies, death. Based loosely off Train To Busan,

Soomin’s day started like every other weekday. She woke up to her blaring alarm screeching for her to wake up. It was cold, like every other morning. She shivered as her bare feet touched the hardwood floor of her room. She didn’t spare a second glance at anything as she marched to her bathroom door. 

She continued on doing her usual routine. Brushing her teeth and hair. Putting on her itchy dark blue school uniform. Waking her mother and father out of their deep sleep. Less to say, her morning was normal.

“Do you still have that test today?” Her father asked as he made two cups of coffee. One for him and one for his still half asleep wife. “Yep, studied all week for it.” She simply said, stuffing her feet into her shoes. Both socks were different colors. She could never find matching ones when she looked, no matter how hard she tried. 

“You’ll pass. You always do.” Her mother said, slouched as she walked into the kitchen. This was a normal occurrence. Her mother, who worked long nights at the hospital, always struggled getting up. Her father picked up whatever morning slack there was. Which there wasn’t a lot. Most of the cleaning and cooking was done by Soomin. 

She didn’t mind the work though. In fact, her parents disagree with all the work their daughter puts on herself. But she enjoys the work. She likes being busy. 

Soomin smiles at the praise and gives her mother a kiss on the cheek. “I have to leave early today, Mina wants to ride the train with me and I have to walk with her.” Soomin saw a flash of worry in her mothers eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want to eat real quick?” She rushed out, watching her daughter ready herself. 

“I’ll stop by a convenience store and grab a snack with Mina, don’t worry.” Soomin explained while grabbing her keys from off the table. Her mother pushed her father’s arm, as if to get him to agree with her. Him, having not been paying attention, looked cluelessly at the both of them. Soomin just laughed before rushing out, not wanting to be stopped. 

-

“Mom’s pissed that I wanted to take the train today. Say’s this is the only bonding time we get because she’s always working when I’m home.” Mina said, looking into her compact mirror, fixing the pink roller in her bangs. 

Mina’s fights with her mother weren't unusual. Her mother begged for more time with her only daughter, but Mina was a wild child. She had friends to see and places to be. At least, that’s what Mina always told Soomin. 

“I mean it wouldn’t hurt to spend a bit of time with her…” Soomin mumbled, not glancing at Mina for she knew the look she was getting from her friend. 

Mina and Soomin had been friends since the beginning of High School. It started when Mina moved from Japan to South Korea with her mother. She got friends easily and if she wanted, she could have more. But for some reason, she was drawn to Soomin. So then they became a black and white swan duo. Well at least that’s what Mina called them. 

“You’re joking! All she does is complain about my grades and smoke a pack of cigarettes. And when I tell her the smell makes me nauseous, she gets mad and says she smokes because of me!” Soomin had heard this from Mina before, this wasn’t new. But it still hurt to hear how Mina was being treated.

“And before you say you're sorry, don’t.” Mina didn’t mean anything rude by her words. She just knew her friend's reaction would be to apologize. And she wasn’t the person she wanted an apology from. 

“Anyways, I’m glad you’re joining me on the train. Plus, it’s Friday! The week is nearly over.” Soomin tried to dispense the somber mood. Mina nodded happily and quickly groaned aloud while walking, earning looks from different people on the street. 

“We have a math test today!” Anger seeped through Mina’s voice. “It’s just simple multiple choice. It’s not that hard.” Soomin tried to give her friend some confidence but sadly failed. By the look on Mina’s face, she wasn’t feeling any better.

By the time they reached the train, the conversation had turned into what their plans were for the weekend. Mina went off on how her mother wanted to take her to the mall for a bit and eat out which she deeply attested her dislike for the idea. Soomin just said she would be sleeping in and watching television for as long as she wanted. What she wasn’t going to tell her is that she would be going to the bookstore with both parents. 

Soomin often lied about her relationship with her parents to Mina. Yeah Mina knew her parents were happily together and that they were a picture perfect family at the seams. Yes they had their faults but their relationship with one another was healthy. 

But Soomin made it a habit of not telling the full truth. She was scared it would hurt her friends feelings, something she would beat herself over if she did. 

“Well, have fun. You should sleep in for a change. You’re always studying and shit.” Mina said, once again fixing her hair roller. “I’m sure you and your mom will have fun. You both love to shop.” Soomin said carefully as she walked to the conductor. She proceeded to pull the white ticket from her coat pocket and showed the man. Mina did the same. 

The morning train on Friday’s wasn’t very crowded. Two train cars were full of businessmen and women. Two were semi crowded with students littered around. Leaving many other empty (or close to empty) train cars. 

The two girls sat beside each other in one of the unofficially designated train cars for students. 

“Did you hear what happened to Goeun?” Mina said after a few minutes of silence. Soomin had heard. Everyone had. The Senior was attacked by a homeless man on a bus. He bit a chunk out of her shoulder and now she was in the hospital. 

“Yeah, my parents don't know yet. They probably wouldn’t have let me ride the train today if they had.” Soomin knew her parents were extremely protective. They called multiple times a day and constantly checked her location. Seeing as Soomin didn’t do anything considered bad, she didn’t mind. It wasn’t like she was going to get caught doing something she wasn’t supposed to. 

“Mom found out by parent gossip. Donghyun’s mom said she was sexually involved with the hobo and that’s why he attacked her.” Soomin furrowed her eyebrows at the clearly false news. Goeun made it very clear she didn’t want to date simply because she wanted to focus on her studies. Why the hell would someone even make a rumor like that?

“I wonder where Donghyun’s mom heard that. It’s obviously fake. You know that right?” Soomin questioned her friend. One fault of Mina was that she couldn’t help but listen in and sometimes believe the gossip that ran amongst the students. 

Mina rolled her eyes. “Yeah I know it’s fake. I mean of all the students to make that rumor about, Goeun is the wrong one.” Mina proceeded to push down the table attached to her chair and pull out makeup and her compact mirror. 

“It’s weird though, right? All of the students know Goeun isn’t the type to do that… So who would make up a rumor like that?” Soomin said, leaning back in the stiff chair. “Probably a parent.” Mina simply said, putting drops of concealer on her face. 

Soomin shook her head before pulling out her phone. She tended to do that a lot. Make something out of nothing. While in some cases, that could be a good thing. You turn something nice out of something bad. But in her case, she always took a situation that was simple and made it complicated. 

“Hey, have you heard the new NCT 127 album-” Before Soomin could even answer her friend, a man ran down the corridor, looking behind himself periodically as he went. In his rush, he bumped into Soomin, knocking her phone out of her hand. 

“Dude! Do you know what manners are?” Mina yelled at him but he didn’t even spare a glance. “What a douche…” Mina mumbled before continuing fixing up her makeup. 

Soomin leaned out of the seat and picked up her phone. Before she completely sat up she saw another man. This one in ratty clothing and no shoes. Soomin kept her eyes on him as he twitched about. 

“Um… Mina, look at this guy…” She trailed off standing out of her seat. Mina followed her and looked over the seats toward the man standing a few feet away from them. His hand clutching his side as blood seeped out and pooled around him on the floor. 

“Yo? Are you okay?” Mina called out putting her hands on the seat in front of her. The man's head snapped towards the two girls. 

“R-run.” He gurgled out.

presenting the topic of my ap bio final paper: the curious case of one kenny mccormick

readable text and poorly done citations under the cut

"I can't die. I've experienced death countless times. Sometimes I see a bright light, sometimes I see heaven or hell. But eventually no matter what I wake up in my bed wearing my same old clothes. And the worst part? Nobody even remembers me dying. I go to school the next day and everyone's all "Oh hey, Kenny.". Even if they've seen me get decapitated with their own eyes. So you want to whine about curses, Hindsight? You're talking to the wrong f*cking cowboy." - Mysterion, s14e12 “Mysterion Rises”

Kenny McCormick, aka Mysterion, is a nine-year-old on the show, South Park, which has been running for 22 years as of 2019. One of the main gags of the show is having Kenny be victim to various gruesome and gory deaths before coming back to life in the next episode. However, up until season 4, it was never made clear exactly how he came back. During episode 6 of that season, titled “Cartman Joins NAMBLA,” it is revealed that his mother literally gives birth to a new Kenny following each of his deaths. (We then find out in season 14 that this is due to some secret cult ritual that the McCormicks had volunteered to be a part of before Kenny’s birth, but that’s beside the point.)

His abilities in being able to die and be reborn often cause him grief, as shown in the quote above, especially given that only a few people decide to acknowledge or show any remorse when he dies. Although Kenny is shown to be friendly with many of his peers, it seems that mostly only his family continues to be shocked and horrified with each of his deaths. (But this phenomenon isn’t something that we’re going to touch today.) Towards the latter half of the show’s history, Kenny decides to take on the mantle as Mysterion, a vigilante who roams the city of South Park at night, fighting criminals without fear. After all, it’s not like he’ll stay dead, right?

One of the biggest biological mysteries regarding Kenny’s rebirths is his ability to retain his memories, even within a brand-new body. It is often believed that one’s memories are contained within their RNA, and with brand-new RNA each time, it shouldn’t be possible that he would be able to have all of his memories back. However, with the idea of viable “memory transfers,” it is.

The memory transfer theory is that transferring RNA from one organism that has been “trained” to react in a certain way, to another organism (called the “naive” organism, where it hasn’t been “trained”) will cause the naive organism to have those learned reactions to certain stimuli. The idea is that, if we could figure out some way to inject RNA from Kenny’s dead body into his new body, then we could transfer the memories from his old body into his new one, as the memory transfer theory states. This is based off of McConnell’s experiment in March 1960, where they were able to successfully implant learned reactions from one planarian to a naive one. This was done by using the cannibalistic tendencies of a specific species of planarian, such that the naive planarians reacted to stimuli in the way that the trained planarians were conditioned to react.

Scientists have also begun to experiment with snails.

This implies that in order for Kenny to be able to retain his memories after being reborn, he would need to somehow consume brain matter (where RNA is made) from his former corpse -- something that would be pretty difficult for a newborn to do. As such, it is probable that his mother would have to consume Kenny’s brain for him, which comes with an entire other set of problems that have to do with the kuru disease (often likened to “mad cow” disease) due to the prions that she would be ingesting and putting into both herself and Kenny’s unborn self. However, the symptoms of kuru often don’t show up until later in life, sometimes even 50 years after contracting the disease. Carol McCormick is about 25 years old at this point in the show, making her about 75 years old by the time she would be overdue for showing symptoms, meaning she would live a long and fulfilling life.

However, another problem that comes out of constantly being reborn is that Carol will have to be able to become pregnant and give birth within a day, and often without in vitro fertilization. This would involve an increased rate of production of estrogen, progesterone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), relaxin, and oxytocin, the hormones involved in preparing the body for pregnancy, such that she would be able to get pregnant and give birth, all in one evening. (Prolactin is not included as Kenny usually grows up too quickly for him to need breast milk.) Similarly, Kenny would also have to rapidly secrete enough human growth hormone (hGH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in order to reach his previous age. As he is currently 9 years old, it will definitely take a longer amount of time for him to produce enough of these hormones that he will be able to reach his current age. For both Carol and Kenny, there would need to be some stimuli of the release of the appropriate hormones for these reactions to occur.

Actual line from the show. Carol corrects her husband, saying that it’s the 52nd time.

Overall, Kenny is basically just a normal kid with unusually talented fighting skills who just happens to have really bad luck. He is reborn through sped-up version of the normal process, and retains the memories of his previous body by letting his mom eat his decaying brains, of which there probably won’t be side effects until later in both of their lives. However, what really made him a superhero was his desire to use his abilities to help the people of his town, turning something that he views as a bad thing into something more positive.

NINNAAAA WHATS SPCD STAND FOR??

oh, it's not that exciting, it's actualy awful. i mentioned it towards the tail end of chapter five of rm. it's basically what cartman used to call kyle when they were growing up. a really cruel fucked up nickname.

the s.p.c.d,

or rather,

the south park city dump. :(

the sp boys used to be fucking horrible to kyle because cartman ruled their elementary/middle school. and when cartman and the boys saw kyle in the hallway they were like "what are you doing here, broflovski? trash day's tomorrow" or omg whenever he walked ANYWHERE they made the "Beep! Beep! Beep!" trash truck noises, but worst of all was that they used to dump out...Full Trashcans On Him. like spoiled milk, rotted food stuffs, glass bottles that werent put in recycling, crushed aluminum cans that cut his cheeks, all kinds of awful, foul smelling sludge...sigh. :/ ily so much baby jersey.

also, if you want to cry extra hard, i think that being covered in all that disgusting lunchroom trash, feeling it soak thru his shirt, stink down to the skin, pool around his shoes, get buried in his hair -- just feeling that dirty and disgusting and Unclean was one of the factors that made his ocd so severe and it's a large part as to why he takes scorching showers and rubs his skin raw bc especially if he smells something weird or its trash day, he gets triggered & has to SCRUB.

but anygays! you bet your ass that tiny lil stan was giving them ALL the business rippin around on his bike brandishing his hockey stick like a big sword, running them out of town and back to their mommas crying and screaming bloody murder all in that giant wayne gretsky *ravenstan vc* yersey...they were SCARED, lolllll!!!

which is a very interesting juxtaposition to sweet, gentle stan very lovingly picking all the food debris out of his kyles beautiful curly whirly hair before marching him over to the bathroom where while kyle showers, stan always sits on the toliet bc their running joke is that kyle might drown ( yes yersey also can't swim ) while stan listens to rock n colors his nails in w/ sharpie or stolen nail polish from shell.

and he's just like "dude, Fuck them, kyle! those fkn gilipollas are just mad because theyre all total perros and you're the most handsome guy in school, hands down." wHICH? AAA??? tbf stan does say shit like that all the time & Means It bc ravenstan has loved jers from the moment he Heard him but kyle thinks he's fuckin w/ him

bc haha!

very fun joke, stan! hit on the weird, overweight, clunky, awkward, nerdy loser boy to make him feel better about himself! great joke, bro!

bUT ITS NOT A JOKE, BESTIE!!!!

HE WANTS TO KISS YOU SO BAD!!!!!!!!

not them both bein secretly and painfully in love with each other but convinced that acting on their feelings would ruin their friendship/be unrequited and both of them being like "he is perfect, what would he want with a fuckin Loser like me?" :/ </3 WERE IN HELL!!!

regardless of thinking it was a joke, it totally made kyle blush, my rosecea king and stan was sooo nervous like oh my god, you are SO stupid, stanley marsh!!!!! guapo??? gUAPO BITCH??!!!! ARE U ACTUALLY INSANE!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??!!!

i love nervous ass tiny stan with his massive universe sized crush on kyle broflovski that he carries around in his black jansport backpack at all times...along with the weight of the world, ofc. we know this.

but anyways..off topic.

closing thoughts?

fuck you fartman.

-uncle nina, tiny but big baby jersey kyle defense club

( don't touch my sweet son!!! MY BABY!!!!! )

p.s. i'm sorry i just started making new sections without warning. i wanted a way to post about what the boys looked or acted like during different periods of their lives -- so like, satana ( which is what stans mom called him ) refers to the period of time before the fire and kyle's 'the s.p.c.d.' section also refers to that period of time.

it's cool you guys are so perceptive tho! i hope you like them <333 you're always welcome to ask me questions about them xx

#the spcd nickname always makes me want to cry #i love you baby jersey kyle he is my angel #the world was so cruel to him #just for being fat too like #everyone who has ever hurt jersey can go hell right after they meet with me and i beat the living shit out of them...til they Die #stan was mad over protective too and stan was weird but he had Clout from being pretty so he was like IF I SEE THAT SHIT AGAIN ITS OVER #and then goes to lovingly tend to kyle like dude im so sorry you dont deserve this shit look im gonna tell their moms #and theyre gonna get so busted and have to pay you back for al your clothes...then we pretend to hit the gap and go to good will instead #and use the rest to buy tokens at the arcade or buy the new mario game and see who can finish a pizza faster its me btw #theyre in love ur honor like why didnt i give them a chance like they were...so married #ALSO AN ANON ASKED ME ABOUT BALLET KY #YES JERSEY TOOK BALLET it wasn't his idea it was an accident bc they were marking electives #and ballet was RIGHT next to basketball and then basketbal got full and sheila was like I ALREADY BOUGHT YOU SHOES UR GOING #and like at first it was really awkward but i think kyle actually really liked the structure of ballet and when u dance beautifully #what he found is that no one had anything to say about his weight just that his pirouette was perfect it was freeing #he dropped it during the kyley b era #but picked it up again in college and its kind of a form of self harm and he fucks up his feet very badly trying to be perfect #also hes like fuck all those people who laughed at me im perfect now im fucking perfect i have to show them i have to be the best #sigh...kyle kyle kyle...ill elaborate on that more in one of the ballet kyle asks but kyle loves ballet and going to preformances #ice skating and dainty refined stuff which is cute bc theyre very nosm like jers on ice skates and stan w the hockey stick during winter

the sp character bracket thing going on has me really inspired and wanting to do my own march madness thing so this is the first soft announcement that i'll be doing a south park minor/background characters bracket come march 👀

it'll be a true march madness bracket with 64 characters, all sorted into seeds 1-16 based on how popular within the fandom/show they seem to be. i'm only doing child/student minor characters and i do already have them all selected. once i figure out how to make it all look pretty i'll have a more official announcement but i wanna start it on march 1st!!

#south park #get ready to squint at your screen and go 'who the fuck is that' bc some of these characters are obscure as hell 😎

So im still exhausted. I keep making dumb mistakes and doing stupid shit like leaving charging cords at work or at home. My coordination is gone, im tripping and knocking into things. My eyes feel sore??? All i want to do anymore is lie down and try to sleep. :/

I think i was running on pure adrenaline last week...and now that 'panic' mode is done my body is paying me back for all the stress. :( i barely slept the entire time i was traveling, i regularly drove for like 10+ hrs on next to no sleep which...yeah. I know. Dangerous. The constant tension of whether or not snow was going to make my next route passable, and worry over keeping other people's schedules. And then to get to my grandparents house and to find out they're not moving till may and the 'end of march' deadline was an arbitrary schedule that didnt actually matter. Im not mad, i cant be mad at them they're moving which is stress enough, im just...mourning my exhaustion and inability to function lol. Had they let me wait even one more month the snow and the insane storms would have been gone.

Anyway, just thinking about that feeling of 'safety' or 'comfort' and how precious a thing it is for me (and my sleep) . After my anxiety started growing worse it takes a LOT for me to feel 'safe' with someone or somewhere. My italian grandparent's house would be one, nick's sister's house would be another. And then my friends house in the mountains of oregon, who are just the kindest, most generous people. The two nights i spent there were literally the only times i slept last week.

Back in the fall of 2018, six months after grandpa died and still unemployed, i helped grandma travel by train to ohio, flew back to seattle, stayed with sanjeev for a week ish, and then started south to los angeles because i literally couldnt think of anywhere else to go. And these friends in oregon - they were off traveling at the time - let me stay in their house for over a week. I was so scared about the future, i was still grieving and feeling like a total ghost, still processing my dad's very friendly comment (when i asked him why he hadn't offered to let me stay in his house after i flew back from ohio) about how if i couldn't afford to house myself i deserved to be homeless.

(honestly that wasn't even the part that bothered me - i knew that about my dad from the time when i was a kid and he would point out homeless people to me and jokingly say 'that will be you as an artist!'. Instead of instilling fear in me though this backfired and all my charity work in high school dealt with homeless shelters lol. But no, the part that bothered me was how he tacked another comment onto the end - that life 'couldn't go back to how it was'. THAT was when i broke down crying in front of him because i think stupid me still genuinely believed that if i moved back to seattle my dad would go back to being my best friend and it'd be us against the world again.)(i saw him for five minutes in sac last week - he refused to even have lunch with us)

Instead in 2018 i was anchorless, emotionally disconnected from reality, and instead of comdemning me like everybody else in my family, my friends were like 'dont worry about it, the house is empty, please use it.' And i did! I was nervous at first. But then i started exploring the area - went to a bunch of state parks out in the middle of nowhere hidden in the high desert. Ended up LOVING one of them and collected those tacky tourist maps and just scribbled all my observations and tips on the best roads to drive/things to do/see onto the margins. And i collected all the brochures and compiled a kind of guide, and left it on the counter just in case my friends hadn't found that particular area to explore yet. And sure enough, they hadn't! To this day they still talk about how happy they were to have all these suggestions and things to see, and how that particular area is now one of their favorite places to visit. So what im saying is that's the only place i got any rest last week. Also those pancakes. I need to make those pancakes.

Anyway i'm just so fucking tired, man. This is the second 'vacation' where i've come back more exhausted than when i left, i think i need to do something differently. (also fuck you dad, five years in LA and not homeless once)

#Journal shit #When i was stuck on the grapevine for two hours #I had a sudden memory of nick and i driving in the dark #See he was new to pittsburgh and by that point i was old hat #After the hell year 2011 i spent most of my free time driving alone around the city trying to get myself lost and unlost in the corners #with the window rolled down and the freezing numbing breeze the only thing that would make the scars on my face feel normal #Like that city is BEAUTIFUL at night #And nick he liked talking in cars #I mean he liked doing other things in cars too but mostly it was the talking #Like deep conversations talking #And since i knew the roads and i had the zippy tiny blue teardrop of a car vs his giant ass truck #I did the driving #And so many times under a street light i would catch him staring at me with a strange face #And i would get all embarrassed and he'd just shrug and say he liked looking at me with that stupid smile of his #No one before or since has ever looked at me like that #I have done road trips with a fair number of people now #But nothing ever like that #Of course i was also looking at him whenever he was driving #He hated the camera so much but the only photos i have of his face are of him driving his truck through the snow in the laurel highlands #Near that one fishing cabin his family used lmao #Im glad being alone gives me more time to spend with friends but sometimes i wish... #NOT with nick god no i have officially given up on that but #Something similar
