rochester (five seconds after flirting with another woman): Are you sad? You sad, Jane? You look sad

WHAT A DICK (reader, i love him)

charlotte brontë was horny on main in every single book. she straight up said "there is nothing sexier than a rich man who enjoys your company, listens intently to you, andcalls you bizarre names" and bless her she was CORRECT

him: Do you think me handsome?
her: No
him: Well you're ugly too, so

me with exercise. i go out six times a week just to do the worst slowest most awkward run you have EVER seen.
i was once passed by an old man using a walker
In 2024 try being joyfully bad at something - it's more fun than it sounds.

the last place i lived was about the same population & i never waited more than a week or so to get the latest booktok trend. here? my coworkers all READ.

(no shame for reading trendy books, fuck shame, we're letting go of judgement & following the good, alright? life is dark enough in its own)

put a copy of Fourth Wing on hold at the library and i am number 1,165 in line and honestly, i'm kinda proud of my new city for having so many readers

every time someone compliments my art & asks to buy a print, I am sent right back to middle school when the cute boy is asking for my phone number and oh my god does he actually like me or is this a TRAP

POV: you make the idiotic choice to buy a house in this economy AND YET still want some privacy from the neighbors who live ten feet away

(watch me paint over the window glass like i'm in a novel about an impoverished young milliner trying to survive the Depression with her chastity intact)

other non-local behaviors:

-wear shorts
-wear sandals
-mention the weather, like, at all
-squeal in joy when you see a tiny lizard

i know this because i do all of these things & people treat me with exaggerated patience, as if i have one of those MY KID IS AN HONOR STUDENT stickers on my car

moved across the US a few years ago & my Yankee self is still experiencing culture shock

for example: Florida natives do not wear sunglasses! because apparently wanting to see in bright-ass sunlight is the equivalent of a zebra limping in front of a hungry lion (ie it makes you look like a tourist)

"be patient with yourself and kind," i say, through tears and gritted teeth and a really sick tum-tum

okay there have been a FEW breakdowns, but it's stuff like "the electrical in my car failed & i am stuck downtown with no money no phone & no id" & "my paycheck bounced and i can't pay rent" & "golly, that seems to be on fire"

i cried in the bathroom, washed my face, & went on.
A+ ADULTING I THINK
October 25, 2023 at 4:34 PM
the current ratio of breakdowns :: stress is quite good actually

made the mistake of answering truthfully at a job interview when they asked "what is the last book you read" and it happened to be a book about quantum mechanics

i'm not a show-off, just autistic

at a showing yesterday I checked every cabinet for mold. i requested access to the attic & dirt crawl space, and i went in.

my realtor was appalled but i don't know what the neurotypical way to buy a house is. do you just stand in the living room & daydream about furniture placement? sounds risky
October 21, 2023 at 10:56 AM
i look & act like a goblin who recently came out from under a bridge, and i say OUT LOUD things like "a hole in the roof is just a natural skylight"

my realtor is 6' 3", has the muscles of a longshoreman and has modeled for the covers of romance novels.

he thinks i am the stupidest person alive

still thinking about the one that got away (a house from 1920 with a large hole in the floorboards and a corresponding hole in the roof that sold for nine times my annual income because the housing market is insane)

last night i dreamt i held her in my arms

considering unfollowing someone on instagram but hmm maybe not??? seems like a serious insult to this person i met in a coffeeshop seven years ago & haven't interacted with since

... and just like that i am become my parents, who sent Christmas cards year after year to people they didn't even like

yesterday i had a phone interview scheduled for "between 8-12" because apparently employers are appliance repairmen now?

they called at 11:56
