The absurdism of "if you buy our newest phone we'll buy back your old phone for $400" immediately followed by "if you buy this (one model older than newest) phone we will not take your ancient, nasty phone >:("

#and all the hours i've spent over days #removing bloatware and ai and tracking and unwanted features #that i bought the older phone to specifically minimize #aaaaaah #abSURD #also the battery on this phone is so much worse than my old phone #wtf

Gosh, do I love discovery writing. The freedom. The sense of play. The way you have to hold the material lightly and follow where it leads, never being afraid to scrap things that don't work or to rewrite to emphasize things that do. You have the fun of discovering the story you're writing rather than the frustration of being unable to capture the ideas in your head. This way might wind up taking ages, but it makes the writing process such a joy.

#adventures in writing #i stayed up until i'm-not-going-to-tell-you-how-late finding my way into my inklings story #good news: this process means that i like the story that's taking shape #it's not the story i had in mind #the concept is there but i'm not sure i'm going to be able to work my way to my planned inciting incident #but it's delightful so far #i started the story and spent an hour or more on it #then realized it wasn't working and completely started over #with new names for all the characters and places and a new starting place for the story #new way's working much better but i'm already considering how i can rework some sections and rename some characters #the great thing about this is the freedom that comes from trying something and then trying something else #the bad thing is that when you know every detail could impact which direction you take the story #you spend a lot of time carefully crafting the details #but there's a decent chance you'll completely rewrite the whole section #at least i've learned this part of the process and i'm not going to agonize over the timeline #the opening takes forever but i know once the story gets going the later parts fall into place more easily #anyway this'll likely take more than five days #but at least i'm spending the time writing instead of dithering over an outline for two weeks #and having fun instead of wallowing in frustration and indecision

EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!!!!! PAT SIELOFF IS PREGNANT!!!!!

1. Birthday cake from Sierra and Kelly; 2. Gritty soft serve ice cream cup; 3. Sign for Erik Johnson's 1k celebration; 4. Jersey Devil Christmas tree ornament.

#just got taken very off guard by a big room remix of mozart's lacrimosa and the experience did NOT spark joy #horrible. i keep going back to the playlist it was on and listening to 30 seconds and getting mad all over again #not bc i believe in the sanctity of lacrimosa but bc i don't like it #ko and sierra aren't responding to my messages probably because they are spending quality time with family!!#but EYE do not have quality time with family. and my brain is swiss cheese from too much church #please god let him be a girl dad do not let him have a boy to put into hockey #i mean you can put the girl in hockey but we do NOT need pat sieloff jr (boy) into hockey #pat sieloff continuing proof that every single bone in your body can be broken and you have like negative muscle ligaments #but you can still be so so so so cute and happy with your wife in pictures announcing baby sieloff 🥰🥰#the weather is making me UNWELL. like physically i was not built for this weather i was built for heat not cold #BUT mentally also. please explain to me why i outlined an entire advent liturgy -- all four sundays -- based around hockey #LIKE NOBODY NEEDS A PRAYER OF CONFESSION AROUND HOCKEY #and it fucking WHIPS is the worst part. it was only an outline but if i spent more than 3 hours on it. well someone should a do wellness ch #ck is what should happen. we don't need hockey liturgy no one needs that #the thing is i am so fucking burnt out and just exhausted by all of it (<- what christmas/advent will do to a mfer) but i love #writing liturgy. it's so fun. it's like creative nonfiction #so then i was like well what if i did lent and baseball. which tracks much better yk ending the darkness and the coming light #and then i was like. interesting. what urgent tasks am i avoiding by doing all this. what medication am i not taking #white knuckling it ONE DAY LEFT OF CHURCH NONSENSE AND THEN I CAN ROT IN MY LIVING ROOM FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR #oh my god is it past midnight already i've been working on this post for like two hours and keep getting distracted #if the classical music station played ''mozart's final rave (lacrimosa)'' by oliver heldens at 7am i would certainly get out of bed :/#fresno oilers.txt

Failed a social interaction 0 injured 1 killed (me)

#Today has been so long 😭😭😭 I've been out the whole day studying and when I came back I spent more than one hour to cook my probably gone–#bad chicken (and rice and spinach) and then I couldn't even eat it because it was my turn to clean the kitchen at the dorm (which is the–#third following day I'm doing) (worth mentioning I'm running on 5 hours of sleep)#And I was goofing around with my friends but while doing so I. made fun of the landlord. And then one friend told me “hey girl he's right–#outside” and like 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I hope I die painfully. I need to be back next year and he already makes my life hard enough and hhhhhhhhhhh #I wasn't even like. Serious. It was just to joke around with my friends I don't have anything against him (except for the things I do)#hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #And now I feel so embarrassed I have no appetite at all + the chicken (which I had to bring home through one hour walk in summer which–#probably wasn't good for it. And then froze one day past the expiration day) (I really need to get better eating habits) I had been–#preparing despite taking one hour to cook it I got the firing wrong and now it's all hard and honestly not very good and like 😭😭😭#Look at what you did to the (frankly already diseased) chicken #I feel so betrayed by everything 😭😭😭 Can life get a little easier #I'm mostly kidding I'm doing okay. I just need to rant because I CAN'T GET OVER THE LANDLORD THING MAN HOW DO I FORGET ABOUT IT.#This kind of things always haunts me for at least three days so 😭😭😭#I'm dead tired but I really wanted to answer asks today so. Probably doing so between today and tomorrow #Rant over sending lots of l love 💞💞#random rambles #In my defense it's not my fault I'm too poor to throw the chicken away 😪😪 I haven't eaten since forever #It's also not my fault I can't afford a new non sticking pan so I have to stick (ah) to the probably toxic one #It is very much my fault for messing up the chicken cooking temperature tho lol

#happy new year!#splatoon #splatoon fanart #art summary #I made my own template based on the grizzco boards #...and accidentally spent over three hours on the template alone. whoops #it's just a background but I put enough time into it that it counts as my drawing for the day #anyway yay I've been drawing squiddos for over a year now!#there were a lot more colored ones than I expected (mostly from artfight attacks and refs)#I didn't include many traditional drawings in here but it was nice looking through them all again and seeing my favorites #dailyink #12-24

things are going well

not pictured: me, wheezing and coughing, because I decided sprinting the entire way to the bus stop in winter temperatures was a good idea

#tbh most of today has been absolute dog shit since I've spent ten hours working on project documentation #only to arrive at a point where I think it's all trash and useless and I'm gonna fail. but that's tomorrow-me's problem #meant to meet some friends for a nice evening but I'm late bc I had to finish enough that my boss could look it over #alas the sprinting to make up for it. but now I just feel like crying more which sucks when you already can't breathe #a day in the life of..#(not like my lungs etc were fine before the sprinting either. persistent cough persists still after well over a month)

Man. All I do these days is fail to meet expectations and then get upset at myself for failing to meet those expectations. This sucks.

#the dragon sings his songs #blowing out smoke #i'm supposed to be taking this break from my course as an opportunity to do the things I've been meaning to do and I've just been rotting—#—in bed on my phone and sleeping in and jacking off like i hardly even get up to eat or go to the bathroom #side note i know this is a textbook sign of depression and burnout (comma) most likely both (comma) but who in my Chinese family is going—#—to believe that? def not mom who'll just scream at me for not sucking it up and pushing through it and not dad who won't do shit #my grandparents might believe me but there's a language barrier on mom's side plus 公公 seems to think I'm the perfect infallible capable—#—[granddaughter] and I can't bear to break his heart with the truth #and then on dad's side they'll probably be sympathetic but everything i tell them makes its way back to my parents and that'll just result—#—in ont huge blowup that'll drive another wedge between mom and dad. and I mean PLEASE hurry up and get divorced but I also don't want 爺爺—#—and 嫲嫲 to get caught in the crossfire #plus I'm supposed to be helping them esp now that 爺爺 is running out of time as an active able-bodied person but instead of doing that I—#—spent all day in bed. which is not helping my guilt and shame on top of everything else i have to deal with (comma) let alone his workload #today's such a nice sunny beautiful day too which makes me feel even worse for not even going for a walk or anything #it's still light out so i could but sunk cost fallacy is kicking my ass plus i have Mandarin class kn a couple hours #and k know it's a couple HOURS but I'd have to get dressed and set a timer and everything and just the thought is so overwhelming that I—#—just can't. i'd ask to be institutionalized if it wasn't for the rampant ableism in the mental health field plus the fact that—#—institutionalization is just an extension of incarceration #if only the people who have power over me would just listen and actually take care of me so i wouldn't have pushed myself to this point

I had yet another long, strenuous day yesterday and didn't finish work until super late and then I couldn't fall asleep until well past 2am cuz I was in so much pain from standing literally all day

#what made it worse was the client I spent most of my day with was a brand new client. and she booked super last minute #so I wasnt mentally prepared for doing a 5 hour color. and her natural hair was already pretty light so I had to foil foil foil. go back.#pull out first couple foils. foil foil foil. go back. pull out the next few.#over and over and over.#and her hair was so fucking long. and so fucking thick.#and after the first hour she wouldn't talk. like I like my silence so I don't fight it much #but every now and then I would try to engage with her. I'd say something and she would straight up ignore me. no acknowledgment.#which makes me feel anxious cuz it's like jesus... does she hate me?? did I piss her off somehow?#even when I finished her hair (it looked fucking amazing no lie. one of my best highlights yet.) she had next to no reaction to it #she was like 'it looks fine. I mean good. it's good.' completely deadpan #I laughed it off and was like yeah it's been a long day girl! but it looks amazinggg on you!!#no response. deep inhale. alright.#whatever tho.#when I did finally get off work I stopped @ bojangles cuz I was lightheaded and hadn't eaten since morning #and when I tell you I almost broke down into tears cuz there were so many people crowding the goddamn pickup area.#and so many bizarre conversations going on. genuinely felt like I was in some form of hell #like my feet hurt. my back hurts. I'm tired. I didn't get the validation I like to have over a 5 hour transformative color.#I'm hungry and there are two elderly women blocking the pickup counter. one is hard of hearing so she keeps yelling HUH???#and the other only speaks in soft baby whispers. that goes as well as you can imagine.#there's a man behind me grilling an employee abt whether or not he goes to church. he starts witnessing to him #and the employee says 'I've never thought about it like that before' no less than 4 times.#there's a child in front of me playing tiktoks @ full volume. and this is all happening simultaneously.#I really considered just leaving without my food but I knew I needed to eat and didnt have anything at home so I stuck it out #was it worth it? no. bojangles honestly sucks these days but what's a girl gonna do.#got home and tried to pass out but nope. tossed and turned all night.#put on hot n cold patches to try to soothe the pain a little. didn't work cuz one pain would be eased a bit and another pain would take over #blahhhhhh #and now. I get to do it all over again! yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

3 weeks into working 55+ hours a week and it is. uh. really something.

#the main problem is that i'm working 55 hours over 5 days and sleeping 30 hours over those same 5 days #making extremely basic mistakes at work that so far thankfully have all been very fixable #and got so snappish the other day that i mildly terrified one of the younger guys who i've spent months casually befriending #2 more months....2 more months

Buying those concert tickets was both extremely stressful and not as stressful as I thought it would be? Like I think I have PTSD from getting my Eras tour tickets... granted I panic bought them for... the opposite side of the country from which I live, and the seats aren't as good as I had hoped because the ones I wanted kept disappeared out of my cart BUT if everything fails miserably in three hours trying to get tickets in the state I ACTUALLY live in... I at least will be going to see my favorite band in November 🥹

#allylikethecat #ally's thoughts #Ally trying to buy tickets to go see the 1975 #i spent too long panicking about whether i should get floor seats or not #i think i might be too old for floor seats though #the idea of camping sounds absolutely awful to me #like what happened to the days of rolling up a few hours before doors open and ending up on the barricade?#because i did that for every show during my youth #but also... idk if i want to stand that long and have people shoving into me anymore #im old and grumpy now #and I've fallen off a lot more young horses since then #im rickety and delicate now #also... not to be that person but... did we all just forget germs were a thing?!#anyway I will hopefully make it back to the east coast for this show and have a lovely time off on the side w an over priced adult beverage

🕯️manifesting my promotion🕯️

#ack it would just be. so incredible for my life. not only would it be a full time job I could do sustainably without being in pain #but I know I like the company and get along ok with my coworkers (and certainly am capable of playing nice when I don't)#and I make the most sense as a candidate. I really do. the only point against me is I don't have my licence yet #but my driving test is 9 days away and I'm not very worried about whether or not I'll pass it #I just. please let this happen. this would let me have an actual career and a job I could live on. I'd have financial independence #for the first time in my life #plus I'd be making more money than I ever have in my life and it would give me management experience #so if it doesn't work out for whatever reason I'd be able to get other management-level jobs #but I hope it would work out because again I really like the company and id rather stay there than work for a bigger company #like could I probably get a management job at like walmart or a fast food place? yes. but I wouldn't want to lol #but yeah I'd go from $11/hr to $17.50/hr and I'd work about 22 more hours per week #plus I'd get bonuses and paid vacation days and all of that which would be very nice #apparently there's a $4k sign on bonus for the position too (bc they've had such a hard time filling it if I had to guess)#so I'd have that to look forward to whenever it got paid out. Just generally I'd be in a much much better financial situation #and so would my whole family #right now my income makes a big difference and I'm only making like $500/month rn #so if I was making over $2000/month? my parents would be so much less stressed #idk I've just felt more fulfilled at this job than I ever have before and I feel like I belong at this company honestly #like as far as part time jobs go I got extremely lucky. it's a very lax culture where as long as your tasks get done #they don't care if you spend half your shift on your phone. there's no meaningless busy work #I'm allowed to sit when I want to and I'm very mobile otherwise and it's great for my pain #I'm in very minor pain at this job. less pain than high school caused me in terms of physical demand on my body #I can see myself being able to build an actual career at this company. and considering I spent most of last year struggling #to find employment at all? and then spent a few months in my own personal hell? the possibility that this might really happen is incredible #I've built so much confidence at this job in only 3 months and I would not have even thought myself capable of management a year ago #it's incredible what being surrounded by people who treat you like a competent adult person can do for your self-image #(you will see yourself as a competent adult person actually. crazy how that works)

i ate two hot dogs yesterday and i think that's why i'm dying rn. i love how everytime i spend a whole day with my cousins i'm either not eating while everyone else is, choking down something that tastes really weird to me bc of the parosmia, or straight up eating allergens.

#i get that my diet is weird now. trust me i know.#but ultimately. you can just give me a baked potato with cheese. you can give me a steamer bag of plain vegetables and a salt shaker.#plain rice! my kingdom for a bowl of plain rice!#i'm so sick of being excluded and when i sacrifice my comfort to not be the freak who's eating all the broccoli i paaay for itttt #i haven't been planning to but i'm simply not going to the holidays this year there is no fucking way #that sounds so miserable and it will be worse than i'm picturing i'm sure #like it's been well over a year now that i've been experiencing this and dealing with it and my cousin who's always pissing me off #STILL argues with me about my parosmia because she thinks i'm making it up #the other day i asked her to double bag her fast food before it spent time in a car with me bc it smelled #and she said well there's no onions in it #and i said well i guess it's the burger itself like who knows what kind of flavourings they put in it. could be onion powder.#and she said i guarantee you nobody's putting onion powder on these burgers they don't season them while they're cooking #and i said no like before. like when the burgers are being made into patties #and she said i guess 🙄#two hours later she was bumming a $20 off me #but that's another subject 😑#adam yaps

I was lucky enough to get this art as a print recently, which I'm incredibly happy about because Disco Elysium is a game that speaks deeply to me and the painting captures the vibe rather well! Thank you again to the artist, it was a great unexpected find <3

Time for another investigation, detective.

#oh look; a reblog #digital art #art not mine #Disco Elysium #in other news to all my followers I LOVE DE AND I'M SO HAPPY I FINALLY GOT IT AND GAVE IT A SPIN #it is fantastic in all ways. I've spent so many hours on it and I'm only on like day two I love how much reading there is #can't wait to get back now that exams are over #Harrier du Bois #Kim Kitsuragi
