Quick heads-up to people following me: hello, thank you, and you're welcome to stick around! But I don't auto-follow, and when I post it's probably gonna be 97% STARTO idols and Jdramas
I'm not fussed about my follower count, so no hard feelings if that's not your jam and you want to unfollow! 💜

I was thinking my number is pretty high compared to a lot of numbers in the post
Then I looked at how many members there are now... wow!! 4 digits is apparently Old Lady territory😄 (like I needed another reminder...)

DAY 2: An Epic Love Story
A recent entry, but I'm going with the Watashi wo Moratte series here (Tsuioku-hen, Koiji-Hen, and Deai-hen). It doesn't get much more epic than defying death for love! 🥰

I'm notoriously bad at posting daily, so no promises that I won't miss a day (or 2 or 3) here and there. But I'll hit all the squares eventually!! 😄

My first car was a 1988 Chevy Caprice Classic station wagon, which I bought in '97. It would randomly stall & shocked me every time I touched the driver's door, and no mechanic ever figured out either issue
Cried laughing reading this thread though-- some of my friends' cars would fit it well 😂

My 17 yr old niece:
My Ford Explorer has a CD player but doesn’t even have seat warmers. It’s so cringe.
Me: My first car was a Fiero. It had no mirrors and the bumper was a 2X4. The engine was in the middle of the car so if it blew up it spared the driver the embarrassment of being identified.

Meanwhile Google Messages can pound dirt
Texts on my Samsung phone stopped working correctly, so I begrudgingly switched to Google like it's been prompting me to do
I just accidentally sent an embarrassing text to a family chat instead of to one person because of the shitty interface
HAAAATE it 🤬

Just got a "door" installed in my home to allow me to travel unhindered between two separate rooms. Still prefer charging headfirst through the drywall though
