Woke up this morning to a phone call for a spontaneous phone interview and I was not prepared at all. Definitely bombed it.
She asked me questions if I had experience in certain things and I was not awake enough to expand on more than say no.
Still recovering from being awake for 40h+ too 😭

Starting to regret going back on antidepressants cause I start having nightmares.
Just had one about being in a group of girls who were being 💀 by a serial 🔪 and I got 🔪 in the heart.
I’m never sleeping again.
This is worse than the ones I used to get of being grabbed in the middle of the night

Just seen a thread post about how the hunger games movie should be R rated. And it’s pissing me off so much.
People are becoming so desensitised to violence that they can’t seem to understand how bad it is without seeing it graphically onscreen. Hearing that people are dying in THG should be enough

had an argument with someone about not supporting authors/books with harmful rhetoric like homophobia. And she says it’s fine bc homophobia exists in real life. She got mad after I questioned her values.
Then later has the audacity to say happy pride to me.

I keep getting SI and depression from some of the psych meds I’ve tried and just dealing with it for months. So now I’ve upgraded from 3 month visits to my psychiatrist to 5 weeks.
(he asked if I wanted 4 or 6 weeks and I was like let’s do 5 😂)

Dunno why people keep blaming crime on the lack of police funding. They’re literally useless and can’t do shit until AFTER a crime has been committed.
Maybe investing into programs that help stop people from turning to crime would be better???
But nah let’s fund the police for doing nothing.

I finally made time to break down all my medicine prescription boxes and fuck that was a bad idea doing 6 months+ worth at once. I think I did at least 25 boxes. Half the labels wouldn’t even come off cleanly so I hope it’s still recyclable 😭
And my fingernails feel like they’re about to fall off 😭

Hate that insta and threads have a separate following thing. Cause I removed a follow from this one problematic creator/VA awhile back on insta and they just liked a post of mine on threads. Actual jump scare seeing their name on my notifications. Immediately removed.

Haven’t slept in over 40 hours. I don’t feel like I’m having an episode apart from not sleeping and not feeling tired at all 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Still not done with this stupid job app. It’s almost done I just need to edit, but I really can’t be fucked.
Also haven’t slept for like 30 hours so I’m kinda dying here.

Trying to apply to a job that’s very close to what I want to do, so it’ll be good experience.
But the fucking selection criteria is all about experience & I have none 😭😭
The job is in biochemical genetics diagnostics, but I don’t even know what that is. The internet isn’t being helpful either 😭

Just saw some writer on tiktok named Madeline Pepa talk about not requiring diversity in her book because she’s writing a FANTASY inspired by regency England. All her characters are white bc the folklore is based on Scandinavian lore so she doesn’t need diversity.

It sucks doing a niche sort of masters degree. Because I know some of the people I’m up against and they’d do so much better interviewing/have better CVs.
I’m applying but I know I won’t get the job… I absolutely bomb at interviews & have problems recalling info which makes me seem incompetent.

I’m reading a book & I cannot stand the formatting. It’s ruining my experience of the book. Docked half a star from book 1 bc it pmo so much.
Why use ‘ ‘ for thoughts (“ “ is for dialogue) when italics is right there??
I don’t want to check punctuation. It takes me out of the book 😭

The poor Aussie guy who blew up on tiktok is reading ACOTAR 2 & didn’t like the romantasy part. He’s actually being set up. Going from fantasy to romantasy is a jump if you don’t read Romance.
They’re now saying read TOG.
He probably won’t like book 1 & the girlies will say ‘It gets good book 4!’💀

Have to get an mri tomorrow and I’m 99% sure I’m not claustrophobic but like what if I am?? Bc I’ve never been in a mri before…
Also I get grossed out by injections and I might have to get contrast.
Maybe I should’ve asked for a sedative 😂

Someone ate a cheese tart I was saving and when I asked them about it they’re all saying I must’ve misplaced it.
I guess I misplaced it in their fucking stomach.

Had an epiphany today about why I’m weird with eye contact. It’s because of Viet culture.
I looked into it and that’s exactly what I do. I don’t keep eye contact with people when talking/listening & I look down a lot.
It’s so uncomfortable when people maintain direct eye contact for long.

I’m so confused about people saying that the hate on silver elite is unfounded.
I’m seeing posts about the bad worldbuilding, it misses the point of the dystopia genre, and it having right wing stuff.
Like how is that unfounded???
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Watched Sinners today & was confused bc a lot of it went over my head. I’m Aussie so I didn’t get a lot of the American aspects like Black culture & US history.
Bc of that it wasn’t my kind of movie (also don’t watch horror).
Looking things up online & I like it more now that I’m understanding it.

Maybe it’s just one side of booktok, but I don’t get why grown adults want more smutty/spicy YA.
I’ve been reading more YA this year & it feels so icky reading about them kissing etc.
I know minors do that & they read about it & I’m not against that at all, but like I don’t want to witness it.
