It's also worth mentioning that I live with A LOT of bugs. Stink bugs and ladybugs. But I kind of gave up on evicting them and they just chill with me now. They don't bother me. The ladybugs are like soot sprites in the corners of my room & come out to play when it's warm.

This is the view from the window above my bed. Those are the donkeys on the right.
It's always noisy here with trucks & tractors coming & going & the damn rooster going off but the funniest is when the farmer & his wife are yelling at each other. The former tenant literally warned me about it, lol.

I share this photo a lot because it's funny & as an example of life with my mom.
None of that was me. I look so fucking weird because my mother was trying to make me fit this mold of Girly Girl and I simply Was Not. It just made me hate myself!

This is my brother, Bebe. We grew up together. He lived a nice long life and passed away when I was in college. I still miss him today.

$4 shelf I got on 90% off day at a local thrift store, filled with all my DVDs. Listening to Ska Dad on the TV, photos of the Pietasters and Ska Babygirl on the top shelf with grandma in the middle. Little cousin photo on the bottom. No photo of his 4 yr old brother bc he moves too fast, lol.

I ran into Reese when I was leaving Supernova last year and told him he was a total DILF now. His response was to say thank-you and kiss the back of my hand.
That man is seriously super hot now, though. I do not remember him being that hot when I was a teenager....

Those are unedited photos. When the lighting at a show is really bad, I switch my camera to shoot in black and white.
This is what the lighting looked like. Not my favorite, hard to work with, very dark. So I just did 90% of the show in black and white.

Since @sadsnack.bsky.social played in Richmond, I was legally obligated to shoot them like a hardcore band.

PLUSHIE PURGE!!!
Do you need a soft rainbow pal??? I will sell you one! I have to get rid of A LOT of stuff since I moved and honestly, I could use the money. This is all Build-a-Bear stuff. I'd like $15/plushie + 2 outfits. Happy to make deals; they need to go!

Very proud of this collab I did with 4 year old Jordan. I asked him what color he wanted me to write his name in and he said rainbow.

I spent yesterday with family friends at Massanutten, which is this big mountain resort area, then promptly scouted out the new Goodwill Outlet in Harrisonburg, which I didn't even know about until my mother was looking up thrift stores. Beautiful day for a Virginia mountain/valley drive!

I still do not have a smartphone, my laptop is 10+ years old & falling apart, & I use 20 year old camera for concert photos. And I am *sincere*, not a pundit or a hipster.
Why no parasocial crushes for *me*???

So, I still need a couch at my new place. I have found decent cheap used couches but they are too far away and delivery is more than the cost of the couch itself!
It might be a while before couch happens. :(
