Omg the chicken thing reminds me of when I was a kid, living out in some middle of nowhere Arkansas country town.
Basically, my Elementary school decided it would be a good idea to hatch chickens as a class project to learn about the stages of development for a chicken embryo. You know, for science. So they brought in maybe 20 or so eggs and an incubator, and we documented each stage of setting it up, and what was going on inside the eggs on each day, etc.
When the eggs finally all hatched- something we watched very excitedly, a bunch of 3rd graders, all huddled around this incubator- they sent out papers asking for parents to sign so they could bring home the chickens to live on their farms and the land they already owned. Since it was a middle of the nowhere Arkansas country town, and so many of the kids in my school owned a farm.
Anyways- of course 9 year old me wanted to be a part of this, and I begged my mom to sign the paper so I could bring home one of the chickens I had so lovingly helped to raise.
My aunt was moving out of our shared house at that time. (my mom, brother, grandparents, uncle, aunt and her bf, as well as two of my cousins were all living together in this giant, eternally work in progress house that by grandfather had been building his entire life. The walls were eternally plagued by aggressive wasps and flying squirrels, so that was fun.) My aunt was the one who had taken care of all the animals on our property, so she left us instructions on how to take care the chick, as well as a heat lamp and feeder, etc. And she soon left, taking all her animals with her.
Anyways, me and my mom got the chick, and took care of it. It was very sad and lonely though for the first couple of days (my aunt sent over one of her own chicks to be constant companionship for it quickly, since chickens aren’t supposed to be alone. This definitely helped, and it stopped screaming loudly every time I left its sight for 20 seconds.) After a while, it grew enough to leave the pen in our room and go outside. I was able to bring it out every day, and it would follow me around. I even started trying to teach it, showing it how to dig for bugs in the grass, and pretending to peck at the ground, which it did eventually learn to do.
Eventually, my mom decided to just send it to live with my aunt and the rest of her birds, because this was very overly complicated for no reason and it was pooping everywhere. I would go and visit it sometimes still though, as my aunt lived close. Also I named it Butter, because it was yellow. There isn’t really a moral to this story, but it’s definitely something that happened, and now I have it archived in great detail on the internet forever so… hey random person if you’re reading this lol, I hope it was atleast mildly entertaining.

hiiiii I just saw ur post abt being deathly bored and wanting asks
was wondering if u have any university! yellowjackets headcanons? literally anything, i’m trying to project my uni experience onto them lol
I LOVE THIS OMG, doing it assuming everyone survives, no plane crash au, this is also the main seven :)
jackie- rutgers baddie, she definitely finally found her way to lesbianism in college and shes majoring in like business or whatever (i have no idea what she would want to be as an adult and that scares me) i read this amazing fic where she moved in with nat instead of going to college and she ended up becoming like the girl version of a handyman or whatever like i don’t remember all the details but i lowkey see that futch transformation for her in her college years
shauna- she went to brown x but she probably she went to europe for a gap year at some point or did an abroad program idk how she did it but she dated french people and had extremely messy breakups x she passed her classes with flying colors by some grace of god x she will be holding onto the jackie ordeal no matter how many europeans she slept with at uni xoxoxox
tai- her uni experience went exactly how she described it in the show; first string on the soccer team, graduating from law school with honors, so so many hot girlfriends 💋 she want it she got it like i have no notes. she is a HARD WORKER and she EARNS HER SHITTT, somehow is managing all that while still partying like crazy. college taissa turner you sly dog you are so so loved
van- our little film major, she is 100% making a bunch of mini movies in college for various film classes. in another life she was a director and that’s what i see for her path at university. tell me she wouldn’t be an amazing director, the way she analyzes movies and shit. van is also the type of person to leave a boring class making a REALLY stupid excuse. you also can’t tell me she was not getting around in college. she was.
misty- this one stumped me so hard but like then i got to thinking she probably could have gotten into a really good school because she’s the type of weird girl who has really good grades, and then she ends up developing a caffeine addiction and being that person who signs up for all the early morning classes and she’s like one of three people who did, misty you are just as much of a silly freak in college and we love you for it!!
nat- i feel like she wouldn’t be going to uni bc i feel like that’s not really her scene, but if she did she would def somehow find out about every party that happens on campus and always be in attendance no matter what. like it’s not even her friend group, but she’s trying to make the dj play grunge music at the sorority pledge party or whateverthefuck. not trying to reduce nat to the whole “she’s just an alcoholic party girl” thing, i just geniunely think that’s something that would definitely be happening unexplainably.
lottie- she’s going to college on another CONTINENT, like my girl is not trying to stay in new jersey. she’s going to school somewhere rich and prestigious (if you’ve got the benefits, use em!!) in like the most random place. japan, ireland, australia, the list could go on forever but i just know she is not staying anywhere near her parents or new jersey. lottie is also getting around in college, no questions asked. jackie is not the only one discovering her lesbianism x
this one made me THINKKKK, never stop sending me these kat i’m obsessed
#yellowjackets#yellowjackets college au#yellowjackets showtime#shauna shipman#jackie taylor#lottie matthews#taissa turner#misty quigley#misty fucking quigley#vanessa palmer#van palmer#natalie scatorccio#ella purnell#sophie nelisse#sophie thatcher#courtney eaton#liv hewson#sammi hanratty#jasmin savoy brown#yj#yj cast#yellowjackets cast

maybe i've been watching too much hermitcraft, or too much mumbo jumbo specifically, but now i wanna make an entire town in minecraft with different stores for different storage stuff, and different buildings for farms and have all the items automatically sort themselves to the proper places AND have manual input through like a post office or something A N D have any unsorted items/unsortable items go to some kind of dump. this is a reasonable expectation for someone who has never even beaten the ender dragon and does not know redstone in the slightest, however i am an engineer which means i have the unbridled confidence to figure it out
#ramblebamble#real unfortunate that i am constantly busy with school#HOWEVER#i do think this would be a very fun project and give me a bunch of motivation for the game bc i usually play pretty aimlessly#and part of that is bc i feel like i never get far enough in the game to make Real Progress#but oh my god i'm having Thoughts#OH AND ALSO MAYBE INCORPORATING SOME OF OWENGEJUICES POWER SYSTEM#I SAW THAT BUILD YEARS AGO AND THOUGHT IT WAS SICK AS FUCK#anyways. i have Thoughts.

fffffffffuuuuuuccccccccccck i was always meant to become a mascot character designer
#making slightly esoteric but kind of cute characters based off anything is my true calling. i can never stop.#a few weeks ago i was chatting with a friend about how in fucking. highschool science class#we had to do a presentation on medical conditions and i was assigned scoliosis. a bunch of my friends and family have it so i was prepared.#but also i was at the time like unable to make any project without making funny little cartoons and a weird narrative about it#so i. made an illustrated powerpoint. about scoliosis facts and info. but like framed through the narrative of a rockabilly singer characte#he had a pompadour of course and was named johnny or some shit. and his backup singers who were disemboded floating spines#that sing. he was a normal human. he had sunglasses i think. anyway the spine backup singers were The Spinettes and one of them#her name was like spinella or something i dont remember had scoliosis and the plot of the powerpoint. the plot of the powerpoint#was basically a comic i narrated out loud LOL but the plot was like a saturday morning cartoon very special episode. i had fun with it#no one laughed at my jokes. the disembodied talking spines was a little too esoteric for 2014 teenagers. but later acquaintances said they#liked it? grew on them i guess. anyway i spent like all of highschool doing shit like that. oh god this is what ive always been meant to do#(still thinking too much about my place as an artist because of undergrad theses dont mind me)#(i shouldnt think tooo hard about it tho. my professors are hard on me because they see a lot of potential. but they're also like)#(kind of in a bubble as professors in the fine arts dept of a non art school in ontario. so i do need to take their advice carefully)#(did i ever mention how a prof said i should look into robert crumb as a 'similar artist to me'? the fritz the cat guy????)#(what does it mean.... what does it all mean..... tbh it might just mean that thats the only cartoonist she knew the name of LOL)#(and even then she might not know much about him. like the racism etc. my profs have good advice sometimes but like i said theres a bubble)

my old advisor was """restructured""" a while ago and my new one can be SO frustrating. they spent several emails working on the assumption that i had veteran benefits, for some reason, and in our most recent interaction they just full on ignored my question about whether a class i wanted to take would be viable or not. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'RE HERE TO DO, MAN
#they want me to take Global Information Management Systems#which sounds hellishly boring and has a long and involved term project listed in the syllabus#and *I* want to take an advanced database class. my other database class fucking ruled i love SQL#and i think it sounds SO much more work-manageable to sort of mitigate my incredible fucking burnout#also it's the saturday before christmas now. will they even get BACK to me before the next classes start? are they done for the year??#i don't want to make someone work on christmas break but fuck. i wouldn't have to if they just acknowledged my question the first time#hush me#schoolblog#btw i appreciate that '''restructured''' meant ''we fired a bunch of people to be cheap :)''#and that it indicates my poor new advisor is probably overworked and juggling too many students#please direct your curses and etc evil energies at the school 👍

#dylan says things#went to an Iron and Wine concert tonight and it was great#they had these really cool projections that were fully done by two people on stage with a bunch of paper cutouts#and three of those old-school projectors#it ruled#and the opening act was also really good#Amythyst Kiah she was great#i love it when i dont know the opener and then they're really good so i get to find new music to listen to#and Iron and Wine itself was great as well. i didnt actually know what the singer looked like before#but the second he walked on I was like. Exactly. That is exactly what the Iron and Wine guy is supposed to look like. Good job dude.#coming back home for the summer is so fun because my parents love to go to concerts and they also have good taste in music#so I get to so many fun concerts during the summers#We went to see Vampire Weekend this tuesday and then Iron and Wine today#plus we're seeing the Decemberists later this summer#it's like average of 2-4 concerts a summer it's great

becoming a data hoarder of crochet/knitting/sewing/embroidery patterns and books on my pc, laptop and phone. an ungodly amount fr.
#also finding good patterns for like 2 dollars at thrift stores and getting books out from the library has been VERY helpful#and so many have maker spaces#where you can sew/weave/embroider/whatever#the one at my local library is mega cool#cos the council realized the suburb next to mine (mine is too small to have a village center like the others so theirs is ours)#had been promised a new mall makeover and a new pool and a new bunch of stuff#and hadnt been given anything in like. decades.#and is also a suburb where a lot of working class and low income families live#so they went ''okay we should. do something and actually support this section''#and thats how we got our new million dollar suburb center building with a new library/cafe/preschool/pool/maker space#and suddenly people have a reason to stay in the area and spend more time at shops and have a study space#available right next to a park and a place for community and information!!!#and everyone is happier and spending more money at the surrounding shops because theyre visiting more often#like that whole project took 2 years but it was so worth it the maker space rules its got a recording booth and a 3dprintet and an engraver#a loom and all these other woodcraft/textile stuff#and i see teenagers from the 3 surrounding schools coming in to record music and/or rent out instruments!#and do carving and sewing and book clubs!!#and have a place to study!#when i was in hs we would walk down to the mall get sushi and sit in a field bcos there was nothing to do#now people from the same high school i have can access all this stuff!#and more online to print out#and partake in healthy hobbies and its like fuck!!! it makes me so happy!!!#all this to say if anyone wants a pattern for smth i can probs find a free one/one costing a few dollars by an indie creator

#christ. so i was selected as the top candidate for the program i interviewed with on Friday#and im very annoyed and very pleased and also annoyed that im pleased#im pleased bc it means that they were impressed with what ive done to this point and they think i communicate well. which is cool#and the project is very very cool and id love to work on it#am annoyed bc this does put pressure on me to accept bc they can only put one student forward so if i dip out then thats it for them#which i find extremely stressful. and everything is just so much more complicated if i go to the uk for a phd#and i dont get the luxury of faffing about and taking a bunch of classes like i could in the us. ugh but it would b so cool to go back to#the uk and i wouldn't have to fucking drive. ugh. this project.#ugh its like my boss said#sometimes the project is more worth it than the school. id have crazy cool opportunities to learn things on this project#but at the cost of taking a lot of classes in the us. but every project is what u make of it#but im so fucking dyslexic thst its hard to learn outside a classroom bc i cant concentrate and i dont have a person talking me thru the#info. so idk idk. hopefully when i visit the other school ill kno how i feel#god but i loved living in the uk. and i could travel so much more freely there bc the trains and all that. im so fucking restricted bc im#so terrified of driving. i dont have good reaction speed and i space out too much and i get intrusive thoughts#sigh... but id be a whole 24hrs of travel away from my family instead of the 10hrs thst i am now#so id probably only get to see them once a year maybe? in contrast to 2 or 3 times#and im just worried something terrible will happen and then ill be like fuck i wasted all my time making myself miserable so far away#idk. im so tired. we had like a mile abd a half hike out to a site one way and we left at 7.30 got back at like 4#it was a long fucking day. and im tried. and i have no filter. and when i talk too much it really annoys me#also! i got confirmation that i fucking suck at recording data. wow im so shocked. its basically designed for me to be terrible at#but its still slightly embarrassing. like srry i fucked up ur data. i cant write words correctly#literally i kept writing my Ls upside down today. why? idk that not how i see them. my brain just cant make Language right lol#whatever. my parents r calling tomorrow and i can info dump at them abt my dyslexia knowledge and my academic knowledge of biblical history#bc instead of listening to anything useful to my job. i choose to listen to lectures on neurology and theology. bc fucking idk#its interesting im relearning my bible lore from a non religious perspective. theology is fucking fascinating. ugh anyway#i shoulf sleep im so fucking tried#unrelated

I just wanna play bideo game and make my silly little drawings and blog and THAT'S IT
But instead, I gotta go to business school to (HOPEFULLY) get a job that pays well enough that I'm comfortable and am able to give to those in need
And that entails so many meetings/meetups for so many stupid group projects, and reading stupid books titled, "Playing to Win" where they talk about how you "win" at business
So you can see where the tension lies 😑😑😑
#personal#get meowta here!!!!#if there's any solace I talked to a bunch of classmates who were all poc and they were all on#the same page as me with this stupid project where we have to make the experience of Call of Duty without making Call of Duty essentially#business school.....PAIN....SUFFERING...#also I gotta go read ch.2 of the stupid 'Playing to Win' book now and it really is like pulling teeth#gotta make a discussion comment for it too bLEH

in a conundrum. can’t decide what colour yarn i should use to make a dragon
#i have a bunch of yellow yarn but i was thinking of saving it for a merlion project#i didddd just buy a bunch of pink and navy sparkly yarn but i want to save it for a perfect project#(<- is aware there’s no such thing as a perfect project but paralysed by the thought of ruining it)#problem is this pattern uses three colours#and i inherited a bunch of yarn from my dead grandma (rip) but none of it matches re weight and size#i could just make a junky dragon with some of this yellow and a bit of white and some other colour perhaps#i also kind of want this dragon to be sea-dragon ish but i have no green/blue yarn :/#rip#i’ve also fully run out of time#i go back to law school in a week i certainly do not have time to be shaping wires#but aughhhh i have to go down to sydney tm and its 2.5hour train journey two ways#so i want a project to do on the train#i still haven’t finished my gifts for the law school gang 😭#but they’re too fiddly to do on the train (would need to bring stuffing and eyes and a needle vs just the yarn and a hook)#gah#i don’t know#yellow and white and ???

rewatching Haikyuu dying from nostalgia both from when I played football and when my high school friends bullied me via comparing me to Oikawa
#none of us knew I was being compared to an argento back then but it became even more offensive#I was no genius but I was good before I destroyed my knee right at the end of middle school...#never really recovered from that injury. mixture of money and time issues but also just. not recovering emotionally#but now I'm being thrown to watch the local kids bunch of girls have been asking me for tips. and every time I do it I wake up with pain all#over because I totally lost my physical conditioning but hmmm. maybe.#I've managed to start dancing forró again. and I've been walking more#some days I get pains that put me on bed. but on others I do feel good#we actually found a woman to pick up the capoeira project for my relative's terreiro which honestly was a relief#but maybe I could play again
