Made the sort of ramen you need to fan yourself as you eat it
A bowl of togarashi ramen with a soft boiled egg, two pieces of ham, and green onions for garnish. It looks warm and comforting

Solved a Matrix-themed escape room with literally 1 second to spare, then found a pub that served Pan-galactic Gargle Blasters.

I call this belated bday party a total success
A distressingly green cocktail that didn't taste a lot like being hit in the head with a brick, but was very tasty

Oh no I found an even babier picture!!

This is me visiting Hong Kong, just two years after high school
A very, very young Alina with short-cropped reddish-brown hair is leaning out over balcony overlooking the Hong Kong harbor. It is a grey, cloudy day and the cityscape is just barely visible through the fog.

Post you from a different era.

Look at baby Alina, dressed up as Aranea, my spider-beast Changeling:the Lost LARP character. (Those "eyes" are glass beads spirit gummed to my forehead lol)

The flock's all together!

Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
Pippin, a green lineolated parakeet, is peering out at me from where he's wedged himself underneath my Wacom tablet stand

A refined gentleman, enjoying a nicely aged stick before bed
A pineapple conure with his head blurred as he CHOMPS into a stick held in his claw with crazy intensity The same conure, now placidly enjoying chewing on the bits of stick he bit off. He's holding the remains on the stick in his foot like a cigar

Time to clean the peets
Two green lineolated parakeets sitting together stop my monitor. They are huddled together, each cleaning one of their own feet, except it's on opposite sides so they look like they're mirror images of each other, which is true

Haha left my shirt at my sister's house and she sent me this:
A picture of my blue button up shirt with owlbears and cherry blossoms on it, hanging in my niece's closet. The caption my sister has put on the picture says: Some gay left this homo shirt at my house

trapped under a sleeping avocado send help
A view of my knee under a blanket, with Pippin, a green lineolated parakeet, completely asleep atop it. He's got his eyes closed and his head and but fluffed out to their maximum size, a sure sign of contentment. Behind him, his brother is perching on a cage, also asleep
