I don't have the mental fortitude for a lot of popular hobbies. I know it would introduce me to new people and give me something to do to relax, but I just can't get past the taste of cigarettes.

October woes:
Designing a wizards staff for Halloween and immediately going, "Well, THAT looks like a penis."
The goats hoof at the bottom wasn't helping, neither was adding fur to said hoof.

I call out into the void, "Are you not entertained?"
The void does not respond. Not in words, but in feeling. It says to me, 'You feel like I should care, that your efforts are wasted on my expanse. You are an ant crying for attention from the sun, yet it is night. Your body shan't be warmed...

You know what's crazy? The amount of people on dating apps that joke about gaslighting people on their profiles. Like, I don't know you. I'm not gonna be the one falling for someone going out of their way to say, "I gaslight people, lol."

I miss when my problems were obvious to an outsider. I still had people judging me for being broken, useless, and "faking" but I could at least point to a physical problem. Now? Not so much. There's a problem, it's just not obvious. Symptoms are frustrating, not sympathetic.

Update: my entire face hurts including my teeth and chin??? Somehow??? Anyway, I don't think I grew out of teething, it's just teeth grew in the way. I will not be elaborating.

I am sick.
The entire middle of my face aches.
You may send your condolences and any pharmaceuticals you have to my PO box.

One time I was playing geoguesser with my friend and we were wandering around a wee town. We were debating where in the UK it was and ended up guessing England because we had both started unconsciously humming the Wallace and Gromit theme. We were correct.

Yeah yeah, they got an Oscar or whatever, but have they worked with the Muppets? Been on Sesame Street? Tell me when they become cool enough to be karate chopped by Miss Piggy.

Sometimes, the references I make aren't for anyone else. Not everything is about you, you know.

Throwback to the time I finished a show I had been hyperfixating on for months and then immediately watched the teaser for Shrek 5 and cried actual tears because I couldn't handle the psychological damage of both disappointments at once.
I don't know what you're talking about, I'm so neurotypical.

Save me. Save me from elaborate plans I don't have the money or energy for but am excitedly planning anyway.

I take ubers sometimes so I get to see all the fancy new cars. Gonna be honest, lads. Door handle technology was good enough as it was. That was not the squeaky wheel that needed the grease. Entering/exiting ubers now feels on par with using someone else's shower.

Sticking my fingers in my ears and yelling, "I DONT CARE I DONT CARE I DONT CARE," is actually self care and very good for me, thank you for asking.

Oh boy, here I go moving again!
Wish I didn't have a body that needed housing and upkeep all the damn time. Such is life.

Went to a rich person party. I am not rich. It was comical how stereotypical it was. Group of older men talking about waking up in the wee hours to trade stocks, young person ridiculed for being stressed doing 30 hour days + uni + 2h commute. I even got laughed at for only having traveled to Fiji.

My problem? Any time someone says 'money,' I think they're saying my name. So I'm already paranoid.
Now throw in the mix that my flatmate has a dog called Minnie, and the kiwi accent shortens the 'o' in my name until it's an 'i' at least, sometimes disappearing completely.
I am on edge.

I don't understand loud people. I really don't. I'm sorry, you don't feel overwhelming shame when people realise you exist? You can be perceived and not feel like you're dying?
Ridiculous. Can't be real.
Teach me.

When my mum explained periods to me, she forgot to mention the blood or why it happened or really what it was. So the conversation ended up going like this:
"You're going to be in a lot of pain once a month."
"Are... are you threatening me?"

I see people using masking fluid and talking about how amazing it is (which it is amazing, don't get me wrong).
But I never hear them talking about the smell. You open the bottle and get punched in the face with the smell of urine.
Just me?

My feet are cold 😠
Whatever God has done this shall be dethroned for this blight against me.
No man or beast shall defend against my wrath when my toes are cold under the blanket.
Any creature that dares tell me to "put on socks" will die by my hands.

You can't tell me laying down and miming gutting yourself and doing bits about trying to stuff your organs back in and them spilling out again ISNT a fucked up form of meditation.
Pulling out my own heart from my chest and making it beat in my hand is self soothing behaviour.

I've always adored words and their definitions. There are a few distinctions that I keep in mind day to day that I find extremely useful.
Guilt vs. Shame
Assumption vs. Assertion
The first keeps interactions with myself in check, and the second keeps interactions with others in check.

Why is no ones bathroom scale working?
Last time I weighed myself was about a year ago at the doctors. I've lost weight since.
Every time I'm using someone's bathroom and I'm like, "Ooh, a scale! I should finally check!" It doesn't have batteries. I am being forced to live in a world without BMI.
