Thoughts on The End of Evangelion (from someone who had never seen the tv show and after watching a video essay about how the movie is a hate letter to uber fanboys):
Boy, this movie sure expects you to have seen the tv series because they explain nothing.
So much vaginal imagery and somethings just straight up vaginas in foreheads getting stabbed.
Watching a grown woman kiss a 14-year-old boy for 20 seconds sure was fun and not super gross. (Mr. Geeky and I discussed afterwards if it was supposed to be seen as a gross thing and we're both leaning toward, yes, it was.)
For the first part of the movie I was like "oh yeah, this is definitely a hate letter to fanboys'", then the second part I was like "hmmm, maybe not", and the then the last part I was like "holy fuck, yeah, this dude hated the uber fanboys, especially the way they treated the girls and women in this show".
I missed out on basically all the plot (since I knew almost nothing about the terms and such) but it was a very visually interesting movie so I think it was well worth watching on the big screen. I wish there were more mech fights, though, cause they only had one and it was *really* good.
This show was really quite mean to Shinji, fanboy stand-in, and I'm all here for it.
Going back to the movie's commentary on fanboys' treatment of the girls/women in the show: This movie has a *lot* of female nudity (almost all of them 14-year-old girls) but none of it really felt gratuitous to me, which I found really shocking. The nudity always felt like it served a purpose or a statement about the treatment of girls/women by fanboys. (This is extra fascinating as Mr. Geeky tells me the show could be very fanservicy.)
There's an entire scene where Shinji is basically hallucinating all the girls/women telling him he's just a fucking awful human being and it was amazing.
"But maybe you're seeing too much into the girls/women aspect." The literal first scene of the movie is Shinji masturbating over Asuka's comatose body. The literal last scene of the movie is him straddling Asuka and choking her and, after stopping, collapsing on her chest and begging her to help him. Like, the movie is not subtle about showing that Shinji is shitty to girls/women.
Overall both Mr. Geeky and I agree with Dan Olsen and the theory that this movie is basically a hate letter to uber fanboys. That's not all it is, but that's very much a huge part of what it is.

This Week in BL - new entries upset the rankings
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
April 2024 Wk 2
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 11 of 12 - Like most Thai BL pulps, this show doesn’t have much story to it. But I'm discovering that what it does have I actually really enjoy. I love that the gay boys got to play matchmaker for a change and I like how just GAY they are. It's nice. Refreshing.
We Are (Weds GMMTV iQIYI) ep 1-2 of 16 - University ensemble BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawinPoon. I like it. It’s old school Thai BL, but having fun with itself and its tropes. I’m not expecting much, so I don’t mind it waffling. All the couples are comfy. Chemistry is okay. Friendships are nifty. I like Pond's floppy hair. We fine. 
Two Worlds (Thurs IQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - What an extremely bloody episode. And bad guy turned out to be very bad indeed. And now pretty much everyone is dead. Nice kiss. Of course. 
Tumblr media
Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 6 of 8 - It’s cute, they happy, not a ton happened. Random gratuitous bathing. As you do in BL. And I still think the sides should just end up in a thrupple
Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 2 of 12 - Oh they very cute. Also very silly. 
Tumblr media
1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - No. NOT THE GUITAR. YES abandon guitar for the sniff test! Love this for them. And me. My most favorite trope defeated my least favorite trope. VICTORY!!!  
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 8 of 11 - It’s just so good. Baby went away, grew up, and learned how to become a temptation... and a husband. 
Tumblr media
Gray Shelter AKA Gray Currents (Korea Thurs iQIYI) 1 of 5 eps - SooHyuk, only just surviving, reunites with YoonDae, his (brief) younger stepbrother who feels abandoned. They end up living together. The younger brother is played by Lee Jae Bin of Choco Milk Shake. OMG. STEPBROTHERS TROPE. Lucky me! Two in one season. Yay!!!! It's Korea so great visuals too. I shallow but yeah, this is great.
Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - Kindly Ryota goes off to uni only to find his new roommate is his childhood bestie, Kazuhito. Kazuhito doesn’t have a girlfriend and Ryota tries to help him figure out why. Same director as Old Fashion Cupcake. It’s utterly charming. I am charmed. Also the framing is gorgeous (of course). Very stylish.
Love is Better the Second Time Around AKA Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (Japan Weds Gaga) ep 6fin - I don’t know. Kind of a flat ending with the leads apart for most of it. I enjoyed this show but it never really hit with me. 
Tumblr media
Summation
After a teen betrayal and resulting separation a reporter reunites with his first love. That love wants him back. I enjoyed the authenticity of a reunion romance explored in Japan's quintessentially contemplative yet surreal way. The juxtaposition of the tenderness of the sex scenes with this Japanese style of authenticity was oddly elegant but all in all this still fell a little flat for me. There's nothing objectively wrong with it, but in total the narrative felt sluggish and the main couple were just... stiff (in the wrong way). Frankly, I'd rather just rewatch Tokyo in April is. 8/10
Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 3-4 of 12 - What is going on with this show? No, I get the plot. I just don't get the show or why I’m watching it. Annoying. 
It's done, but I suck
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps
To Be Continued (Sat C3 Thailand grey) ep 7-8fin - I can't for the life of me find the final 2 episodes. Haven't had a real hunt, but yeah. No dice so far.
Tumblr media
It's airing but...
Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari (Japan Furritsubs) eps 1-? of 10 - I may wait and binge it.
Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.
Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - It’s so boring DNFed at 2.
Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb! (Weds iQIYI) 6 - The problem with situational comedy BL is it must be situational, comedic and a BL. This show gets 1 of 3 claims correct. 33% is not a passing grade. Dropped at 3.
Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - only 4 eps, tell me if I should bother?
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
4/18 At 25:00 in Alaska AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) 10 eps - Yuki lands his first starring role in a BL drama alongside superstar Asami (previously his senior at uni). Said superstar suggests they form a sham relationship until filming concludes. As they actually begin to fall in love, the spotlight begins to burn. I think I've seen this before (joke) and also the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.
Still to Come in April
4/25 Boys Be Brave! AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) 8 eps - Trailer Jung Ki Sub is Kim Jin Woo's slacker friend - and secret crush. So when Ki Sub crashes at his place, his heart tingles to be near him everyday. But as the short stay turns into permanent mooch, how long can Jin Woo keep his true feelings under wraps and hold back from confessing?
4/26 My Stand-In (Thai iQIYI) 12 eps - adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of that show was the clashing directing styles). This one looks complicated, lemme try: Joe is a stuntman for famous actor Tong. Joe falls in love with Ming but Ming sees Joe as nothing more than a Tong-replacement. After learning this horrible truth, Joe dies. Joe then wakes up in the body of another man also named Joe. He manages to rebuild the same life as before—with the same people eventually re-meeting Ming. Ming wants Joe back but Joe doesn't understand why. But Ming seems to know what's going on and wants to give him some kind of explanation.
I'm exhausted just trying to describe the plot.
Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous pairing) and Best, news here. But will it actually air this month?
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
NOTE: It looks like one of my personal favorites of last year Unintentional Love Story is getting a spin off!

Delivered
*Today, 8:00 am*
"I know you told me not to come over but this is getting scary. You promised to text at least every two days and I don't think you would break that promise if you were okay. I'm gonna stop by later today and if you are there just reply through the door. I'll be there around 5 after work."
Delivered
After your patrol around the city, you walk to Hawk's apartment. Even with sore feet from fighting all day, your pace remained brisk. Hawks never broke promises, and he didn't make many either. Although he's not a top hero, he has deep ties with dangerous people. He has gone missing before, you even had to save him once, so you learned to trust your gut when it comes to Keigo. He lived on the top floor of a large apartment building, and you found yourself beginning to run as soon as his balcony peaked over the cityscape. Although you were also a hero, you felt completely hopeless as you ran across the city. Having a siren quirk seemed deeply useless as your partner might be kidnapped or worse.
You pushed through the doors of the building, and it took everything in you to wait for the elevator to open without punching the panel. Although you had enough adrenaline to leap up the stairs, 22 flights would take much longer to climb. The doors opened and you paced around the elevator with shaky hands. How could you let him get hurt? Of course the second you let go just a little, something happens. You and Keigo haven't even dated for a year yet you were madly in love. He truly was your angel. Not pure or a messenger, but a warrior. Finally the doors open and you sprint out of the elevator to his apartment. You knock impatiently and call out his name.
"Keigo! Are you in there?" You placed your ear against the door. Silence. Although you were panicking before, you now are electrocuted with fear. You didn't even think of using your spare key before kicking in the doorknob. The wood shattered and you stormed through into Hawk's apartment. You looked around and saw nothing out of place. The kitchen had a few dirty dishes, the living room had some gently tussled blankets in a pile, and the large balcony window was closed. He was nowhere to be seen, but then you hear a rustle down the hall. You freeze at the idea of whoever might have hurt Keigo could still be in the apartment. Your home. You slowly close the door behind you and creep through the open living room. You start to hum a calming song to make sure anyone trying to attack would have a lower defense. You creep by the frame of every doorway and realize no one is in the apartment. You finally straighten your spine and inhale to call for hawks, but you are caught off guard.
Two large, warm hands wrap around your hips, and your back is met with a sturdy and well-built chest. A hot breath brushes your ear and whispers, "Weren't you ever told it is rude to break into people's homes?" Tears began to sting your eyes in relief that your partner was okay. You turn around to him in semi-anger.
"Why the hell didn't you reply to any of my texts! It's been a week! I thought you got hurt again!" Your voice was more wobbly than you thought it would be, but you were scared as fuck. You looked into Hawk's eyes for the first time in a week and realized how much spring was affecting him. His face was flushed like he'd been drinking, and his pupils were the size of a softball. His hair wasn't slicked back like normal, but messy and falling slightly into his eyes. His wings looked like someone blew a hair dryer through them, ruffled and soft, compared to the usual sharp and armor-like appearance they had. His lips were slightly agitated and parted.
"I told you not to come here without permission..." he said in what was meant to be a scolding tone but carried nothing but an airy sigh at the end. His eyes traveled to your body and lips as his hands shifted from your hips to your ass. He picked you up slightly off the ground to cause friction against his, what you now felt against your belly, bulge. He let out an oddly loud moan for just a little touch, but it made you ache deep down. Your anger still bubbled up through your lust.
"I was worried! You promised you would reply..." Your hands reached up to his face, trying to make him focus on your eyes. He finally looked up at you through his lashes, but you could tell his focus was still on... other things.
"That stupid fucking phone," he said with disdain. "Every time I saw your name pop up it sent me into a self-pleasuring frenzy. Just thinking about you..." He took large steps towards the wall behind you, making your back slam into the cold drywall. "I've never been this messed up before songbird." His thigh shoved itself between your legs and slightly pushed you onto your tiptoes. "I couldn't even text you. I really did try..." His eyes began to wander again. "At a certain point, I just smashed my phone against the wall. Hoped it would let me calm down a little..." His breath got loud and heavy as his hands moved from your ass, up your sides, gently over top your nipples, around your neck, and then landed intertwined in your hair. "I would have warned you if I could chickadee, but it's never been this bad before..."
Hawk's looked deep into your eyes. He was trying to ask for permission. Your hands drifted from his face to his chest, and you realized how warm it was. You would be lying if you said you hadn't been thinking about this all week. He leaned over you like a tower, and his eyes kept getting darker. You already were on fire like gasoline, and you couldn't help but slightly grind on Kiego's thigh up to his crotch. Hawk's lips opened and a desperate groan left his mouth without shame. "Will you take care of me songbird?" Hawks borderline cried out. You nodded your head to him, and in an instant, his lips dived for your neck. Like clockwork, your hands were pinned above your head by his extremely strong, one-handed grip. Keigo warned you that he would become less considerate when handling you during the season, which gave you butterflies. You had never felt hawk's true strength before. Even when play fighting he would go extremely easy on you. Now his gentle grip felt like his strongest.
A large moan left your throat as Hawks' teeth grazed your nape and his tongue massaged your skin. His lips were soft and his mouth was so warm you began to feel like you had a fever. The rest of his body began to fold into you from head to toe. His second hand wrapped around your waist and pulled you into him. A growl filled your ears, and hawks began to nibble and suck on your sensitive skin.
"Thought- thought you were a bird... not a dog," you tried to quip at him through your fuzzy brain. Although normally Hawks would appreciate such a joke, tonight he had only one thing on his mind. An evil laugh hummed against your throat, and your entire body went limp. It seemed Hawks grew tired of bending down to make you squeal, so as if he was picking up a box of air, he lifted you up and then slammed you against the wall. Now that your pelvis lined up perfectly with his hard-on, Keigo threw back his head to let out a moan that shook your chest. He felt wide and hot. His dick was so hard you could easily imagine it hurting. A small slip of an "aw" left your lips while you stared at your desperate Angel. He looked at you with an expression you couldn't quite understand until he spoke.
"You won't pity me once I'm done with you." His lips cupped yours from underneath, and although he started with quick pecks, in only seconds he was fucking your mouth. You weren't exactly the kissing type, but Hawks' soft tongue melted with yours, and high-pitched shivering moans responded to his slow and deep vocal aches. He repeatedly humped against you while his hands traveled up your shirt. His large palms spread out over your back and his kisses felt like he was trying to eat you alive. You had gotten so bothered so quickly you got a little worried about which of you was really in heat. The friction hawks tried to cause between you and him quickly became slick. Out of the blue, you dropped back to the floor and Hawks dropped to his knees. Grabbing one of your wrists, he placed your hand on his hair to grab while throwing your right leg over his shoulder. Seeing his sharp and glazed-over eyes look at you from such an angle turned your face bright red, and you covered your gaping mouth with your other hand.
Grabbing your pants and underwear, in one pull you're completely exposed to your feral boyfriend. A large, almost sarcastic smirk paints Keigo's mouth and his hand travels between your thighs and up to your core.
"Seems you missed me, lovebird," Hawks chuckles while giving you a look that would make Satan blush. He deeply inhaled as his mouth incased your dripping sex. You cried out and that hand Hawk's promptly placed on his hair clamped shut. Like an animal, his tongue moved around every inch with such power and speed you couldn't even tell what was happening, but just knew it felt like heaven. You could feel that he had been drooling the entire time you had been here as his tongue slipped and slid all around you. His hands touched and massaged any part of your heat his tongue wasn't able to reach. He constantly went from your most sensitive spot to your deepest ache back and forth. You couldn't help but moan like a slut on his tongue, and with every noise, you could feel his Lobito increase tenfold. You had become so bothered you could hear drinking noises from Hawks. One of his hands disappeared from your body and in a few moments, your body began to vibrate with Hawks' moans. Just from his voice, you could tell when his hand went from his base to his tip. While Keigo was commonly vocal, you usually had to fish it out of him by playing with his wings or letting him finish inside, but now he barely could hold it in, and almost didn't want to. His body began to shake and he kept stroking himself, and his precision when it came to getting you off began to falter.
"Y/N..." he begged at you. Your entire body throbbed so hard you felt your heartbeat in your palms.
You placed your hands on his shoulders and pushed him gently towards the ground. As fast as possible Hawks laid on his back and as he watched you straddle him he bit his lip. Thanks to Hawks you were very ready to take him, but as soon as you felt him at your entrance you knew he was much larger than normal. At this point even if someone walked in, nothing would stop you from riding hawks. You let your legs fall and Keigo's dick parted all the tension that had been building up inside you like atoms splitting. Both of you cried out but you couldn't even let a second pass before rocking your hips back and forth mindlessly. He was the hardest you had ever felt him and the feeling of your guts being stirred by his dick was driving you over the edge. Hawks couldn't take a breath without moaning and arching his back. His hands were gripped onto your thighs so tightly you could already see the bruising. His gorgeous wings spread out on the floor and you couldn't help but reach out to touch them. Right before you reached the soft, red, fluffed feathers, Hawks grabs your hand and pulled it in.
"I'm gonna make you my bitch for life," he slammed his hips into yours, causing his dick to go so deep inside you're worried you'll snap. "You got that songbird?" His voice was so firm it almost scared you. As if he wasn't even thinking, Keigo began to pound you without remorse. With his hands placed above your shoulders, you had to grab onto them for support. Your moans became pained and scratchy. You were feeling so good you barely made time to breathe. Hawks once again threw his head back and he pulled in his knees closer to you, allowing for more leverage as his dick buried itself so deep inside you felt like you were about to cum at every thrust. Both your voices sounded like they were racing to be the loudest in the room.
"You want me to cum inside lovebird? Fuck~" Hawks said to you with gritted teeth as he moved his hands to grab your biceps on both sides. You were so fucked out of your mind you couldn't even speak, you simply nodded your head. Keigo was so strong he could pull you onto his lap while fucking you so hard you were bouncing. His moans followed closer behind each other as his hips began to shake. "You wanna have my kids dove? You wanna make a nest with me, huh? Ah~." The thought of being with Hawks forever turned you on more than anything you did tonight.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" You moaned out at Hawks. "Please Angel make me yours! Please~" All the tension that had accumulated inside you had finally exploded in a symphony of throbbing and moaning. You squeezed your eyes shut as your body began to frantically clamp on and off of Hawks' cock. You then heard the most animalistic moan leave Keigo's mouth while his entire body stiffened like a statue.
  It almost sounded like crying if he wasn't saying "I'm cumming!" over and over again. He folds over top of you and spasms at the same time his threads of cum paint your walls. You've never had such a strong orgasm, and you've never been filled up so much by Hawks that you could feel every cumshot hit your back wall. It was so warm inside you that even when the direct throbbing calmed down, small moans kept leaving your parted lips. Keigo tried to thrust a little more, but he was so sensitive just pulling out made him shake. A waterfall of cum flowed out of you as Hawks brushed back your hair and looked into your eyes. He planted soft kisses on you, but at this point, your eyes were so teary and your head so dizzy you couldn't tell what face he was making.
"I missed you," he whispered. Slowly your eyes cleared and he seemed shy and embarrassed. You giggled at your confident boyfriend's meek demeanor, especially after his not-so gentlemanly ravaging of your body. You sat up and placed a hand on his face. He then placed a hand over yours.
  "I missed you too Angel."

Mon 09/12/20xx 08:39
Dear diary,
Another headache, I opened my eyes, another day suffering in the hospital. How long did I stay here ? Maybe 4 months, maybe 6, I don’t even remember. I press the button to call out for nurses and waiting for them, I’m going to write something here. I guess today will be the same as everyday, the doctors and nurses will come and bring me to the MRI* scan or several checking, say things like “You will recover soon with our radiotherapy and chemotherapy” or “You don’t need to worry, we will start the surgery soon.” Look as if i believe it, there are no doctors in the neurology dept are “brave” enough to converse with me or help me out of this brain tumor, they pity me for having this, they afraid that I will pass away from the surgery because of their lack of experiences. So what, let me go through hurt by prolong my life until they find some good doctors...
*-short of ‘magnetic resonance imaging’  is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body.
Tue 10/12/20xx 07:10
Dear diary,
The medicines they gave me don’t work, I still have a headache. And as always, no one talk to me, I asked myself what if I disappeared nvm, these thought make me so tired. .Oh and I had a dream last night about an angel helped me with my condition, but I guess there won’t be any of them in real life although if they want to use me for something.
Wed 11/12/20xx 06:21
Dear diary,
They said I should wake up early today since someone is coming, I will continue to write this after I meet them. Hopefully not my relative or parents because I know they just want to sneer and complain about how much I have spent staying here, they don’t care about my matter...
09:21
Dear diary (again)
I have met that person, he is a doctor from a big city that my short-term memory cannot handle, he will in charge with my case. His name is Shu Yummy something, sound amusing huh ;) Yeh, he gonna stay here until my surgery finish, quite young but seem to be experienced and reliable. He has colorful hair, I asked and he said it’s natural (doubt). Expectantly we will get along.
Thu 12/12/20xx 15:32
Dear diary 
He saw my yesterday diary page and chuckled a bit, said that I had written his name wrong, it’s Yamino not Yummy something as I said last day. Welp....it’s quite embarrassing. And his smile feels warm, no, his appearance already feels warm. He resembles a big brother to me. His checking was gentle and he brought me some candies, it’s grape flavour, shiny and crystalize, beautiful, just like him.. I need to go now, he will check again at 4pm with another dept’s doctors, I think I will be fine if he’s there lol 
Fri 13/12/20xx 04:43
Dear diary
I CAN’T SLEEP, Shu told me to go to sleep soon and patted my head last night. I know he just want me to be comfortable but it makes me feel weirdge in my stomach. Also diary, I will have my tumor’s surgery by the end of this month, Shu’s going to be the lead surgeon, I really look forward to it !
Sat 14/12/20xx 23:54
Dear diary
So basically this morning, Shu did some daily checking on me, we talked for a while and I asked if he had another schedule, he said he didn’t so he was there with me (so if he has, he won’t stay there ???). He also called his friends who move with him to this hospital, I think his name is Ike Eveland and Mysta Rias from different depts. Oh and they allowed me to call them by their first name. They’re all hilarious and friendly, they also said some words that I don’t understand, probably amogus backward or pilk... Shu said that I shouldn’t know them, hmm it’s make me really curious dear my diary. 
Mon 16/12/20xx 12:06
Dear diary
Yesterday was amazingggg, Shu took me outside for a small picnic near a pond of the hospital. I guess he’s not really that busy huh. He tried to “rick roll” me by a poem, I dodged it by saying his hair looked like banana. I thought Shu will get angry but he just giggled ><. Oh and he scolded me for stayed up late, I didn’t mean to Yummytoe :(
Tue 17/12/20xx 21:17
Dear diary
Shu sang several songs during his break for me, the best one are “fukujusou” and “tabacco”, his voice was so sweettt. He messed up some words too, that’s adorable. Hey Shu, if you keep looking me with those amethyst eyes I’m going to faint, and pls don’t smile, you gonna make both my heart and brain stop working, jk keep smiling Dr Yamino 
Wed 18/12/20xx 10:28
Ayo diary, Vox who also Shu’s friend said that I might have a crush on Shu, but we just meet for a week....
I will ask the other later then
20:28
THEY SAID THE SAME THING, WHAT IS GOING ON
Thu 19/12/20xx 19:39
Dear diary
I have been thinking a lot and I might have a crush on Sh-
__________________________________________
“NO I DON’T OMGGGG” I yelled out of sudden make Luca choked on his pringles.
“WTH why are you yelling ???” he gulped down then stared at me in shocking.
“No, there’s nothing” closing my diary, I laid down and shut my eyes, feeling something poked my cheek. 
“It’s not really hard to confirm your feeling toward someone, especially the one that straightforward like Shu” As Luca knew what I was thinking about, he nudged the spoon at me, started to stir his coffee.
“NOOO, you won’t understand, if I say something wrong, our relationship will collapse or being really weirdddd” I whined, rolled on my bed, Luca sighed and sipped his coffee. 
“I will call Shu” he stood up, quickly went to door looking for his friend only to met Shu staring at him, ready to open it, I didn’t expect to see him this hour.
“What are you doing here Dr Kaneshiro ?” Shu asked while looking at me, Luca hugged him right away.
“Oh my lovely Shu, this room is so comfy and warm, also I want to find you for something, actually they are the one who want to find you” Luca wiggled his eyebrows looking at me, Shu came in, asked me why I looking for him, but for god sake I cannot even looked in his eyes. Luca saw that situation and started to talk
“They want to ask if they are in love with this pers-” “LUCA” I threw a pillow toward his face, but I guess Shu already heard it all. His voice was steadily, he stared at me and asked: 
“So what about that person ?”

this sweet baby girl had the time of her life at my parents’ house!! a big adventure for a little girl!!!!! also my parents’ golden retriever “works” as an emotional support dog at the nursing home my dad runs and I think next time I visit we might try taking ruthie there to see how she does with the old folks. she’s such a ferocious barker at first but then chills out the minute you give her treats and I think it could be a good socialization exercise. anyway we had such a nice little mini-vacation and I don’t want to go back to real life yet!! but it’ll be good for me I need to start running again and it’s too hot here.
mm ok thinking through the day and the week below the cut
I worked extra hours yesterday and am going to probably do some weekend work to prep for my new direct report’s onboarding so I feel ok taking it easy with work and mostly just monitoring teams/outlook today while traveling. here’s the morning:
8:30-9:30 breakfast with my mom
9:30-10:45 lounge to my heart’s content but also do a bunch of work emails sigh
10:40-11:10ish shower/get ready
11:10-12:30 pack, charge devices, take ruthie out, pack snacks for plane
12:30-2 airport drive, security, etc
2-6 sooooo much plane time sigh what will I do with it. I hate using plane time for actual work stuff bc it’s such good focused writing time!! I have two story drafts going right now, one funny/a little more lighthearted and one a little heavier, and I think I’ll start by working on one of those. but if I am not getting good stuff done I can try to finish reading this book on writing OR commit an hour or two to pod edits. I’d like to try to finish pod editing by tomorrow so we can post in a timely manner but we will see.
land, take shuttle to car, battle through rush hour traffic 🫠 drop off ruthie & pick up pip from the sitter’s, feed dogs, unpack, collapse into bed, read for an hour, bed by 9:45ish
okay and then the week…
tues: travel day—I just need to get some small scheduling/email tasks done
wed: work from home for a couple hours in the morning then head into campus for a couple meetings. I’ll prob use the morning block to do small tasks, then use my 10:30-2 block to finish that draft student leadership proposal, then meetings then home. I think I’d like to take gym clothes to work with me and see if I can get myself to drop by the gym to do a very short run after work. I may also do a short block of work in the evening.
thurs: ohhh this is going to be a long day on campus (feat. a four-hour retreat plus two hours of additional meetings) but it’s fine I’ll get through it and it might even be fun.
fri: I have one meeting with a former student but otherwise the whole day is blocked off for WFH project work whoohoo! I think I need to do another session of big-picture thinking work prior to the new program manager coming on board next week… like I need to map out my current commitments + priorities for the academic year and then also figure out where the PM might fit into that work. mmm ok we will see I’ll think about that

me yesterday: wow i don't feel like a person at all today and i am in a terrible mood
me yesterday, stopping to think: hmm. there is probably something causing this even if I can't tell what. I will take a moment to rest and think about it.
Ah yes. I was out of the house 14 hours Saturday, then had hangouts every day since, meaning no introvert battery recharge.
Additionally, at work, my manager was on vacation Tue and Wed, meaning I had a sharp uptick in interruptions from people asking me questions that they would normally have addressed to her. (When my battery is fully charged, I like these interruptions, but my battery was very much Not Charged.)
This included trying to debug a third party analytics tool, which is bad enough when i have full access to the tool, but significantly worsened when I don't have access to the tool and have to debug via word of mouth and three separate meetings plus a five person email chain. Additionally, all of these people are speaking Marketing, which is an unpleasant highly structured polite form of English in which I am not fluent.
Turns out that canceling plans, sitting with the cat, watching a movie, having a cry, getting reassurances from friends that I'm not the worst person in the world, and getting a full night's sleep is actually a workable solution, because I am back to feeling like a person today! 🎉🎉🎉

late to the party but 6 & 24 for the Dad!AU, 14, 47 for the mafia!AU & 49 if you still wanna answer? c:
[questions for fic writers]
of course <3
6. What’s one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?
I mean, since it's still a work in progress, I can probably fit most of the details still into the story that I wanna mention. But one thing that I'm not yet sure about how to work in is that Hannah (Kelly's wife) quit studying medicine specifically because of burnout/because the pressure was too high and she made the decision she didn't want to deal with that anymore and she's happier taking family/wedding/etc pictures and taking care of the house and their daughter.
24. Are there any easter eggs in [insert fic], and if so, what are they?
Well, I am name dropping a few canon characters here and there xD And also some references to some of Tiargo's fic. But nothing to specific, not like the cases in your AU xD
14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?
A lot of specific AUs, because I'm not always a fan of AUs and need to trust the author to read them. Also, *if* I read Peter/Bob, it's from someone I know. Also stuff like soulmate AUs etc.
47. If [insert fic] was a pair of shoes, what kind would it be? Describe the shoes.
Hmm, I think it would be a pair of boots - sturdy, but just "elegant" enough not to look out of place with a suit. Black leather, obviously, comfortable, carefully maintained, but also with some (stiched over?) tears in the lining inside.
49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!
I'm sorta writing, sorta not writing this thing about Skinny seeing Justus in a suit and his brain short-circuting, which got surprisingly more heartfelt and soft rather than horny, you're getting a bit of that:
"Wusste gar nicht, dass du rauchst", brachte er endlich heraus. Mit etwas wie Bedauern betrachtete Justus die Kippe zwischen seinen Fingern. "Tue ich normalerweise auch nicht", erwiderte er. "Aber?" Ganz sicher war Skinny sich selbst nicht, warum er nachfragte. War schließlich nicht so, als wären sie Freunde, oder als wäre er normalerweise an Jonas' Leben interessiert, soweit es darüber hinaus ging, wie er Skinny in die Quere kommen könnte. Oder andersherum. Aber er fragte trotzdem. Weil er diese Haltung kannte, die leicht hochgezogenen Schultern, die Hand mit der Zigarette vor der Brust wie einen Schild. Für einen langen Moment sah Justus ihn nur an, als müsste er erst noch herausfinden, ob Skinny es ernst meinte oder ob er sich bei der nächsten sich bietenden Gelegenheit über ihn lustig machen würde. Doch anscheinend kam er heute vertrauenswürdig genug rüber, denn Justus seufzte mit klarer Kapitulation.
But also, have a bit of the reunion fake dating fic as well, because the snippet I shared yesterday only represents one half of the tone in that story. This is the other half:
Je dichter sie seiner Geburtsstadt kamen, desto stiller wurde Cotta. Alles hier war ihm immer noch vertraut, und wenig davon gefiel ihm. Selbst Orientierungspunkte, mit denen er eigentlich keine schlechten Erinnerungen verband, verstärkten das schwere, drückende Gefühl in seinem Magen nur. All das hatte er schon längst hinter sich lassen wollen, und je näher er dem Ort kam, desto mehr spürte er, wie die alte Bitterkeit wieder in ihm aufstieg und er musste sich der Erkenntnis stellen, dass er mit nichts davon je wirklich abgeschlossen hatte. Goodween merkte garantiert, wie seine Laune in den Keller ging, Goodween merkte sowas immer, doch er kommentierte es nicht, und Cotta war dankbar dafür.

last weekend I went way too hard, and by Sunday night I was running on completely empty. not even partying hard, just. Ikea and redecorating and blah blah blah blah blah, in our mid-30s we ball.
all this week I've been OUT, batteries dead, zero energy, can't brain for shit, plus Mon/Tues/Wed I have a sore throat, so I'm hitting it with alka-seltzer the first couple days, till it starts to feel better and I'm just drinking SO much tea.
Wednesday the Dizzy starts. By Thursday, I can't sit up without everything spinning, and through Sunday, I have to be flat on my back. Getting up to feed the creachurs is exhausting, disorienting, and generally miserable, let alone feeding myself. Dramamine does nothing. Also, super bonus, my body fucking hurts because I can't move!
Surprise, this is exactly what getting over La Rona felt like, except I don't have La Rona.
Since November I've been sort of operating on yes, this is still LongTallShortFatCovid in the absence of enough data to officially diagnose it, so let's just behave like it's ME/CFS and see what happens. So, supine on the sofa on Sunday, I'm trying to figure out if Gentle Stretches™ are a good or bad idea with post-exertional malaise (the hallmark ME/CFS symptom that I am pretending I know I have for reasons of science). Because, again, I am stiff and sore and I fucking ache.
I know that unfortunately there's a LOT of anecdata and not much hard review around symptom relief, but I also know there's quite a lot of people trying to figure out what works. One person's dribbly candles and magic circles and stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling and 13 other chronically ill people chanting the universe's esoteric and black history leads to another person's 4 cc of mouse blood and three small sticks.
I found a blog with a good enough balance of science vs multiple personal experiences that it felt worth digging into -- also Gentle Stretches™ probably not gonna make PEM worse, thank god, sitting yoga ahoy. Some people found NSAIDs or steroids helped them to recover, but the really interesting one to me was a couple very very very small studies about Dextromethorphan Hbr, an OTC cough suppressant.
That tinged a tiny little ding in my foggy jelly brain, and I rooted around like a drunk opossum until I found the alka-seltzer box in the recycling. (Coulda looked this up online. But again, jelly brain.) The cough suppressant is DXM Hbr. And it's got aspirin. I'd been taking a little ibuprofen all week because Ache, so it wasn't necessarily the NSAID. But when I phased out the cough suppressant, that's when the dizzy started.
It's just a correlation, I've got n=1 here. I know that. But I took a standard dose of OTC cough syrup (DXM Hbr and guaifenesin -- no NSAIDs), and in a couple hours I could get up, and walk around the yard and water the plants, despite being kinda dizzy. I started some laundry. I kept taking it just according to the directions yesterday, and today, for the first time in an ENTIRE WEEK, I can think enough to write, I can go upstairs without needing to sit after, and I'm a little lightheaded but I'm not stumbling.
Placebo is a thing of course, but also, Dramamine couldn't touch this, even though it helped last time. Day by day it was getting worse, not better, and I was laying on the couch because I'd finally managed to finish a shower but I couldn't be upright any more afterward.
(All shower euphoria is erased when I gotta sit flopped on the ground towing the faucet hose around my head and trying not to blast my eyeballs out.)
I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday. I'm really lucky -- she's been great thus far, and takes me seriously when I say wacky things like I HAVE AN HYPOTHESIS REGARDING THESE SYMPTOMS, CAN WE LOOK INTO THEM. ("Yes and also would you like a referral to get spayed").
That being said, Saturday morning, I cried and cried, feeling like I had to hold onto the sofa to not fall off, because I'm scared and frustrated and angry and grieving. Grief is probably the worst because right now I don't know what I've lost. If I've lost anything. If this is real, if it's going to pass, if I'm panicking ... or if this is my life. Other disabilities have taken things from me -- doors that get closed and then bricked over. This feels like I could get shut in one room forever, like. Yes you, the Stress Powered Engine, who lives for pushing eustress as close to distress as you possibly can for fun and profit! Doing that will now hit you like a semi at highways speeds!
Or, I could recover. I don't have the data to know.

This Week in BL - Taiwan has one show, but that's all they need
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
April 2024 Wk 1
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Two Worlds (Thurs IQIYI) ep 4 of 10 - I don’t say this often but I LOVE this love triangle. The longing gazes = chef's kiss. I like that we are finally getting flashbacks to Tai’s side of the love affaire. This show remains highly engaging. So pleased for MaxNat.  
Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 5 of 8 - More lesbians! Yay! Meanwhile, when our leads make up they make out! (Yes I’m proud of myself.) I think this might be BLs first rooftop sex scene. We’ve reached new heights, BLabies. (Yes I’m proud of that too.) Anygay, basically a soap opera at this point, I'm not thrilled but I don’t mind.
Tumblr media
"Do you apologize for being straight?"
City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 10 of 12 - It was lovely. Very well done celebrity leaving the closet ep. Nice ensemble work too. Next week is doom! As expected. 
Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 1 of 12 - New main couple for GMMTV in an idol romance about a boy who dances good and a food stand vendor. It’s fine but overly very pulp feeling for something from GMMTV. I'm a little concerned.
1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 8 of 12 - meh.
To Be Continued (Sat C3 Thailand grey) ep 7 of 8 - Never turned up on my usual sites. So will have to wait until next week. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 7 of 11 - Qian was, indeed, the one who couldn’t let go. This show is fucking fantastic. It's the best thing I'm watching right now by a mile.
Jazz for Two (Korea Gaga/grey) eps 3-8fin - The bully and the blue-haired drummer side pairing were great. I hated the father. Hated him so much. Our main tsundere seme was a bit too tsundere for me. I was v annoyed by the time he finally softened. I'm amused by all the ways they finagled boys kissin-but-not-kissing in the first half of this show. 2024's "pan around the back of the head" has now become a "dipping of the brolly." We did, however, eventually get an okay kiss.
Honestly?
This was basically what I wanted from Given and didn’t get. So I’m pleased. The music still wasn't great, but you can skip those bits. A solid enemies to lovers BL, where the sins of brothers' past haunts the present. Great optics, decent chemistry, and a tidy script even if tsundere characterization went a bit extreme in some cases. 8/10 RECOMMENDED trigger for suicide
Tumblr media
Love is Better the Second Time Around AKA Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (Japan Weds Gaga) ep 5 of 6 - We got the past betrayal in detail and it was decently bad. Bitterness understood. Too soon to live together! The BL U-Haul strikes again. I do like their weird curry passive aggressive argument. This is an interesting show. Do I LOVE it? No. But I think I like it.
On a not-really-related note: adoption, including adult adoption, is actually pretty common in Japan (comparatively). It's often tied to business scionism.
My Strawberry Film (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 8fin - It all turned out to be a tragic GL in the end. Not BL = not my problem. No rating. I will forget its existence right about… now. 
Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 1-2 of 12 - Okay, weirdly kinky with the head scratching. Not much has happened and I’m not wild about what has. 
Tumblr media
It's done, ready to binge, but I suck
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps
It's airing but...
We Are (Weds GMMTV iQIYI) ep 1 of 16 - University ensemble BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawinPoon - basically the good kind of messy gay friendship group (so more My Engineer and less Only Friends). Looks a bit like the Kiss series but everyone is queer. I'm IN but I need my other computer and I'm traveling as usual. So I'll get caught up next week and probably won't regularly be able to watch this one.
Graduation Countdown (Taiwan YouTube) - It's too much for me to keep up with 2 minute verticals, I don't have that kind of TikTok endurance training.
A Secretly Love (Thai Sat WeTV grey) 10 eps - Completed. Worth watching?
Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.
Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - It’s so boring DNFed at 2.
Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb! (Weds iQIYI) 6 - The problem with situational comedy BL is it must be situational, comedic and a BL. This show gets 1 of 3 claims correct. 33% is not a passing grade. Dropped at 3.
Tumblr media
In the news
Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari is getting the undeserved honor of Furritsubs. Follow them for details. Tip 'em if you like 'em. (Will I watch it? Oh, probably. Damn it.)
Then Next Prince turned out to be a trailer only. Word on the webs is we will be lucky if we get it this year. It’s BL Princess Diaries. Jimmy has a new pairing (that boy from Night Dream) which is... interesting. All in all, this show does not look good. Pretty but not good.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
4/11 Gray Shelter AKA Gray Currents (Korea ????) 4 eps - SooHyuk is only just surviving and reunites with YoonDae, an old friend. They end up living together. One of the leads is played by Choco of Choco Milk Shake.
4/12 Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - Kindly Ryota goes off to uni only to find his new roommate is his childhood bestie, Kazuhito. Kazuhito doesn’t have a girlfriend and Ryota tries to help him figure out why, they fall in love along the way. Same director as Old Fashion Cupcake.
Still to Come in April
4/18 At 25:00, in Alaska AKA 25 Ji, Akasaka de (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - Yuki lands his first starring role in a BL drama alongside superstar Asami (previously his senior at uni). Said superstar suggests they form a sham relationship until filming concludes. As they actually begin to fall in love, the spotlight begins to burn. I think I've seen this before (joke) and also the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.
4/26 My Stand-In (Thai iQIYI) 12 eps - adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of that show was the clashing directing styles). This one looks well complicated, lemme try: Joe is a stuntman for famous actor Tong. Joe falls in love with Ming but Ming sees Joe as nothing more than a Tong-replacement. After learning this horrible truth, Joe dies. Joe then wakes up in the body of another man also named Joe. He manages to rebuild the same life as before—with the same people eventually re-meeting Ming. Ming wants Joe back but Joe doesn't understand why. But Ming seems to know what's going on and wants to give him some kind of explanation.
I'm exhausted just trying to describe the plot.
Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous partner) and Best, news here.
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
NOTE: It looks like one of my personal favorites of last year Unintentional Love Story is getting a spin off!
THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS
See City of Stars & Unknown.
(Last week)
Streaming services are listed by how I (usually) watch, which is with a USA based IP, and often offset by a day because time zones are too much work.
The tag BLigade: @doorajar @solitaryandwandering @my-rose-tinted-glasses @babymbbatinygirl @babymbbatinygirl @isisanna-blog @mmastertheone @pickletrip @aliceisathome @urikawa-miyuki @tokillamonger @rocketturtle4 @blglplus @anythinggoesintheshire
If ya wanna be tagged each week leave a comment and I will add you to the template. Easy peesy.

Continuing My Manifestations
So....from the last couple of readings I had done with Cait, here are the conclusions. I have observed a lot of Mike's patterns. When he normally texts me in the evenings, but sometimes there will be days or nights where he will go without communicating with me at all. Usually doesn't contact me on his days off which are Tue/Wed [ Wed/Thur tour 1 schedule ]. We have spent a couple of breaks in his car and the opportunity of being able to make out with him and give him oral was very erotic. Being able to touch him in general was very soothing and comforting to my soul. The last time we hung out in his Honda Accord, he held my hand the whole time which was really nice. He gave me a 1/2 hug once before he took a few days off to go to his camping trip with a friend. I thought we would've had a chance to go out together last night, but sadly I didn't hear from him at all yesterday. He stopped texting me after we spoke about CA, I hope he wasn't annoyed or angry about it because the topic of politics came up and I told him I didn't care for politics in general. After all the negativity of the subject regarding my old home state came up, thinking about it and how people respond to politics just gives me a fucking headache. Hopefully, my impression on Mike not easily getting annoyed or angry easily has not been wrong, because for moment I thought I felt him becoming annoyed which could've lead to why he stopped texting for the remainder of the night. He was working on his Jeep on his days off, he was hoping the parts he ordered came in yesterday morning. That's part of the reason he we probably didn't end up going out because he said it depended on how the night goes with the work on his Jeep.
I took the 955 maintenance test over a week ago. I had to call off work on Tuesday evening in order to study the flash cards. It ended up being a day I got emotional thinking about Josh's unreliability of helping out financially and thinking about Ricky's plans on moving out of the country to the Philippines to raise Lim in an Asian atmosphere. I hardly see my son right now as it is except for still being able to Zoom online once a week. The child custody case is on Apr. 2, so I finished working on an income form and making copies of my pay stubs as well as proof of payments for my bills to submit for the court to view. I have also received a copy of my Sister's Trust documents to have on record. I did fairly well on the 955 test, overall got a B average score. My lowest score was the Electronic part which was a 75% score, still not bad for a weak subject to my knowledge. I am glad I got it done and over with, and tomorrow I have the computer knowledge test to take in the afternoon before going into work. This should be very simple and easy for me, there's no reason why I can't get a 100% on this one, but this test is in relation to the maintenance service clerk position. Now, it's all about awaiting for an interview.
I been constantly trying to do my meditations to continue to try to manifest into getting into the maintenance position. If I get the chance to start training in Oklahoma, there's a good chance that I may be able to spend some time with Mike at the hotel during my stay there, of course that's not my main focus. My main focus is the job itself and learning as much as I can. Being able to spend that time with Mike will actually be a bonus. I have had visions about it happening and then having that one dream about sitting in his truck with him carpooling to Oklahoma was pretty trippy to me. I'm gonna wait to see if anything happens in this next coming month of April because this is going to determine whether my future will change for the better now or if I would have to continue to wait and suffer my financial burdens of struggle.
Joshua hasn't worked in almost 2 straight weeks. He owes this dude that he got into an accident with a lot of money, & yet he hasn't attempted to go out to work a days work to make any money. He's awaiting a letter he's suppose to be receiving from somebody, maybe that's the money that he's hoping to receive which can be a reason why he's choosing not to work. So far nothing in the mail has arrived for him. I been checking the mail everyday in case I get something important from my job. I have shopped for food and necessities as well as finally getting the 2 rear tires replaced and an oil change. I am currently awaiting to receive the tax return from Yvonne to see if I will get anything back. I truly hope that I will not be owing any money this time since I have set the federal tax amount to be taking out extra from each of my checks for the past year. I am allowed to claim Lim this year since Ricky hasn't worked for months. If I can get some money back, then I can use that money to get my front brakes replaced and the tires rotated along with a wheel alignment.
Joshua hasn't given me any drama since the last time. He's been just trapping himself in his bedroom most of the time nowadays. As usual, he made his choice not to attend church again. Since I missed Sunday's service, i made it to the service on yesterday evening at least. Our locale in Huntsville, AL is getting ready to have its renovations and Brother Isiah wants everybody to be there for a group picture to send to Brother Eduardo V. Manalo. With any luck if everything goes as I hoped, I can make plans on saving up money to fly to CA and get rent a minivan or a big SUV to move some more of my possessions from the storage and bring them here. I want to bring more of my clothes and shoes, and other possessions over that I can surely use over here. It would be even nicer if I can have my own personal 1 bedroom apartment to myself and not worry about being around Joshua anymore. If Joshua decides to move out soon, it would be nice, too either way I'm not expecting that he's gonna be of much help to me because he's been doing the same shit as he's been doing during our entire relationship. Just dumping his money on music on eating out fast food instead of helping with bills. I don't want to keep spending $300 a month on storage, but I may not have much of a choice unless I am able to move my things into a smaller storage after picking a few things up to bring over here. It will cost about at least $800-$1000 to rent a minivan or an SUV for the trip to move some of my stuff here. I don't have money to get a whole Uhaul truck, if i'm gonna be saving up that much money it would be for my own apartment when the lease is up. During the Christmas time I can work a ton of over time to make that money and save temperarily for it. For now, that's is all I hope to be able to achieve for this year.
On a final note, Cait's readings were rather interesting regarding me and Mike. She said if we hadn't been intimate together yet, we will eventually. Our union will be most extremely passionate and hot! Our sex together is going to be explosive, the best sex we will ever have in our entire life. My friend Celeste told me that she was able to reach orgasm with her twin flame, Johnathon. If no man can make me cum during intercourse and Mike has the possibility of being able to do that to me, I will certainly be very impressed. Cait said that once we become intimate, we will begin to do it for frequently, spending more time alone together to the point where our connection may become messy that that may be the cause of his wife, Lacey finding out about us. Cait feels bad for her and that it's gonna suck so bad, but our connection and union is destined. Our connection is so powerful that we won't be able to keep apart for long. We were bound together around this time for a reason, but eventualy Mike's marriage will come to an end, it's not gonna last especially if Cait has pulled the death card on their marriage, but I did ended the relationship with Joshua already. Now it's Mike's turn, but sadly in his situation there are kids involved with a house, so it's gonna be a huge challenge for Mike if he ends up going through a break up with Lacey. She is apparently vulnerable right now, too because of her health issues and she's not gonna want him to leave. We shall see what will happen later on, but for now, I'm focused on trying to get into the maintenance position.

Food Diary 12-20th Jan!
You might be asking why I'm doing a food diary. I don't really know either... but preparing almost every meal myself in the last few months has been pretty rewarding, and I wanted to track how I used my groceries over the course of a week, I guess. For record keeping!
It does feel like I'm eating the same things from week to week but it's nice to see what I can come up with only using what I had in my fridge and pantry. Side note: This week the only meat was chicken (not counting the microwave meal) because I didn't think it through... oops!
There are also some items that see longer use I had to buy on top of the ones that I need every week like eggs, milk, and bread; those items vary. This is just a sample week.
At the end of the day, I'm just keeping record for myself :)!
11th: weekly groceries shopping - eur 40.15

today was a lot better I think? nothing has really changed but I tried to be more positive and upbeat about it all. yesterday my lead took away a small project they’d assigned me but then today she changed her mind and gave it back, so I had something to work on for most of the day that wasn’t reading these accursed trainings. I also set up a bunch of other stuff (wifi, electricity, driver’s license appointment, etc) in preparation for the move. only one more work day and one weekend day before I officially fly to seattle with pip!!!!!!!!!! ruthie gets to hang out with my parents for an extra week and a half while pip and I scope out the new place… I’m going to miss my angel baby but also I think it’ll be good for pip to get to settle in and explore a bit with me because 1) he’ll be chiller with the movers and 2) I think having to deal with his sister’s barking in unfamiliar settings makes him a little tense lol.
my pod won’t arrive until next friday which feels like an eternity (I just want my NEW COUCH!!!) but I’m going to try to make the best of the time. here’s my tentative plan:
sunday: arrive in the morning! give pip some time to decompress at my brother’s place while I drive a couple carloads of all the amazon stuff I had delivered to his house over there in the afternoon. maybe set up the router and see if I can activate the wifi. I might also do a costco + target run to buy basics (toilet paper, towels, toiletries, etc) and then if I’m not too tired I might also swing by home depot to get some paint samples + initial supplies for the living room and kitchen.
monday: I decided to pay a company to do the initial deep clean of the new place (I’m already spending a million bucks on this move why not spend more!). although in retrospect I probably should’ve had them come after I painted hmmmm. might reconsider that tbd. I also want to go over during the day to see what the samples look like at different times.
tues/wed/thurs/fri: paint living room and kitchen (and maybe bedroom too), get everything set up, buy all the stuff I didn’t ship, order peel and stick tile + wallpaper, spend time figuring out what I want to buy furniture-wise, prowl around facebook marketplace looking for deals, maybe get my sister or brother to help me with some of the peel and stick projects, etc. pod arrives on friday!! on friday I might try veryyyy carefully taking some stuff out myself since a few of the disassembled furniture pieces were near the front of the pod and I could start putting those back together.
saturday: movers come in the morning!! then I can unpack all weekend!!!! my priorities are to reassemble all the big pieces of furniture so it feels like a place where l actually live. I don’t have my bookshelf situation figured out yet but that should make unpacking a bit easier since I can just stack boxes of books upstairs for now. AAAAAAAA I’m so excited I hate packing but I actually quite enjoy unpacking especially when you’ve been parted from your stuff for some time.

When I got to work today, I found some ibuprofen taped to my locker, with a note that said basically "Take care," from my coworker
Later, she asked me how I was doing, and I thanked her, and said I'm fine, and she said I looked very tired yesterday (the word was しんどい i'm not sure of a better way to say it. but it's kind of like you are having a rough time, could be from tiredness or being sick or just a rough day)
actually yesterday I was feeling better, on Monday I was absolutely exhausted bc I'd been so sick on Sunday and was still having symptoms, and we had to do an evacuation drill, lead our kids down several flights of stairs, and then walk with them about an hour total to the evacuation site and back. After that, I went walking around some nerd shops with bf for about four hours. Somewhere during the day I did someting to my leg, and it's been hurting, started in my lower leg but now like an ache right up to my hip. I think it's a pulled muscle and although it hurts it isn't stopping me from setting up/breaking down tables or picking up my kids, or even dancing with them. I should probably be taking it a little easier but.
So on Tuesday i might have looked kinda bad. ironically, on tues I thought the coworker who gave me the pills looked like she was very tired, and thought of asking her how she was xP Wednesday, though, I really dunno... On the one hand, I was touched that she was looking at me and cared. But on the other, I'm a little nervous that, since I wasn't feeling so bad on Wed, if she thought I was being too short with the kids or something. I don't think I am, and I also believe my co-teachers would tell me if I were. Lol. So although it was unexpected, I'm just gonna be grateful to the coworker who left the note, and chalk it up to really need to dye the grays out of my hair xP If I hadn't gone gray in my twenties, and if I wore makeup, I probably wouldn't look so tired. It's always hard to tell with your own face! To me it just looks like my face, not particularly tired or anything. People here also get concerned when they see how red my pasty complexion gets when I'm exerting myself but that's just me getting screwed by those white girl genes hahahaha

EDITOR: Happy Birthday to The Old Salem Post which began exactly 6 years ago today when I decided our town needed its own newspaper. The Town of Salem has supported every step of this endeavor.  Thank you to the Town of Salem, our readers, guest writers, and everyone who continues to encourage and enjoy this local paper. May you feel blessed and grateful this Thanksgiving. For, our blessings far out weigh our trials, as we will face trials. God’s promises can help us through the tough days. Yesterday I was thinking about the scriptures “ in all things give thanks…”  “ in prayer and supplication make your requests known...giving thanks…”  Now, who is grateful when they have to go through a trial?  I have silently said that to God.  But the answer returns, “ I am with you always…”  which is a sweet reminder to always nurture my relationship with Him, my Friend, Comforter, Strength, and Hope, no matter what the day brings. Give thanks in Everything! Lynne RMartin

Jottings from Miz Jeannie  by Jeannie Barnwell                                                                    Reflections on Emily Bronte's LAST LINES   "Though  Earth and Man were gone,  And sun and universe ceased to be,  And Thou, Divine Creator, were left alone,  Every existence would exist in thee."                                                                                                                    Remember the COLD WAR? For most of our lives, it seemed a real possibility that a nuclear Holocaust loomed on the horizon.   Friends, it's getting ugly and hateful again.  I offer you this gemlike gift of poetry to commit to memory and tuck away in your heart... Whatever lies ahead, GOD'S GOT THIS...  Happy Thanksgiving! We can all feel blessed that providence brought us to dwell in Oconee County!  Love, Miz Jeannie

School District of Oconee County:  The next public meeting is Monday, December 11 at 6pm. We need support to protest the closing of our Tamassee-Salem Elementary School.  Send each board member an email, found on the Oconee County School District website,  with valid reasons to protect our school, and our tax-payer dollars invested on Highway 11.  The 20 acres of land and building will return to the Tamassee DAR if they close T-S El.  How will that save tax payers money when the school board will need to purchase more land in the future at who knows the cost of future land.  T-S El is an asset now as well an investment for the future already  in our possession.  School Administration wants to give away this valuable asset. I believe without a doubt the scriptures of Mark 9:23  when Jesus said,  “All things are possible to him that believes.”  I am holding on to that promise!  Please join me and pray for hearts to open, ears to hear, and eyes to see.  We can save this school if everyone with help speak up, and send the message.   LRMartin
Printing by the Town of Salem    Blessings of Thanksgiving! LRM
