nah this is it. spend three hours like "i can't go to bed until i do the dishes but i can't do the dishes bc ???" and the whole time I could have just decided the dishes could wait till tomorrow

Idle follow up thought bc I don't know how to shut up but how about fanfiction? Do you find you read that faster?

I think people do just have different reading speeds! i was always a fast reader. I was very bored in school and so every day I would bring in a novel and read it under the desk and I remember people always commenting on how fast I got through them. I don't think it's that you're unusually slow.

If it's a dense academic history book, I probably won't read it in one day, but a fun fantasy adventure novel is easy to read in one sitting. I don't sit down and think "I'm gonna read a whole book today", it just happens if I've got the time and I'm having fun.

they might've changed diagnostic criteria some time! I'm no expert, I'm also just googling "what the fuck is wrong with me" once a month 😅

You don't have to have physical symptoms to be diagnosed with pmdd! Just mood symptoms is pretty common

These look so similar other than the fact that faceapp puts makeup on you. Genuinely shocked it was so spot-on!

Those fics meant so much to me as a teenager!! I hope you're still very proud of them, whether or not they hold up today (hello, sorry for appearing out of the woodwork; I am an ancient lurker from your lj days)

Jas pls write me a sports movie script about point 1

Is it unbearable to contend with the idea of hiring skates while you're away? I know hire skates are horrible but it might be the compromise between no ice time and having to lug yours around

you're right! I remember it and I loved it
