#i didn't fall out of the tree

[roo-was-here]

Tumblr I sustained an injury above my eyebrow recently (i was attacked by a tree :/) and immediately thought of three different characters from my hyperfixes with similar injuries above their eyebrow

Taryn: My father used to tell me that the earth would heal our wounds. That the ground would swallow our woes and our tears would nourish the soil beneath us. Pain was no stranger to the garden. A stubbed toe. A scraped knee. A fall. Physical discomfort is a natural part of the living. But to be afflicted by another is quite the wound. You can’t heal something you can’t touch. Atlas is a different kind of hurt. Like picking a rose from a bush… Easy to admire as long as you don’t touch the thorns underneath.

August: Day 25

Adventures

Spent way too long at the library

Checked out a book that was so old and hadn't been checked out for so long that it was no longer in the library's computer system

Enjoyed an hour of silence at home resting in the peace of the wind outside and the sunlight and shadows of trees flickering on the floor

Read poetry under a tree in the sunset

Writing

Read part of Ruta Sepetys' book on writing

Wrestled with the desire to write a personal, meaningful novel while having no idea what project could fill that need

Grocery list or no grocery list?

Do you decorate your house for holidays? Which ones?

Favorite high-effort meal that you make?

Please :)

Grocery list or no grocery list?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends how desperately I need something (and thus must remember it) combined with how recently I forgot something because I wasn't using a list. 😅

Do you decorate your house for holidays? Which ones?

I haven't even ever really finished moving into this house, so, no. I've thought about doing something for Christmas (which is the only one I've ever decorated for), but... no family is around in the winter. Though I did up the old family house a few times when I was solo (for various reasons)... this place... for whatever reason it just doesn't seem worth it for only myself? Also, there's no tradition of doing it here, I think is a big part of it.

Favorite high-effort meal that you make?

I am not much of a fancy chef, but there is this dish called hamburger pie (which I make with ground turkey) that goes well with mashed potatoes... it's delicious, but it's a lot of work for a single person. Brown the ground turkey, wash potatoes, peel potatoes, cut potatoes, mix the turkey, prep the dish, pop in oven, drain potatoes, mash potatoes... it usually ends up being about two hours (though there is some down time waiting for the potatoes to cook).

so i did just go outside and it is mad slick. i was like whatever i've got shoes and so forth. then the wind picked up and i could hear all the ice-covered branches clacking ominously against each other and decided i should get the hell out of dodge. have you ever tried powerwalking when the sidewalks are sheets of ice? i wouldn't recommend it.

from under the cork tree for the album questions!!

oh goodness i don't think i've listened to this one all the way through yet... 👀

the first song from this album I heard: Sugar, we're going down!! it used to be on the radio all the time back when that was my only source of music listening. (side factoid, I used to think this song was on Infinity on High bc that was the only album cover I knew as fall out boy back when I first knew this song lsalghjdkd,, sometimes i still get it mixed up)

do I own the album?: no :'/

my favorite song: aawhwhaejhrehjf I'm sooo tempted to say a little less sixteen candles just bc of the mv but that's totally a bias. based on song alone it's definitely dance, dance. tbf that mv is also a banger tho

my least favorite song: aahh... probably I've got a dark alley... i guesss... im so sorry

a song I didn’t like at first, but now do: our lawyer ... . I specifically remember going through fall out boy's spotify profile on my computer when i was like 15 and being like oh haha ok that's actually a hilarious name for a song, i'll give it/the album a listen. I did not like it lol and actually never came back to futct until this july in preparation for my concert 💀💀

a song I used to like, but now don’t: I like them all now, I never liked a song from this album and had it go stale :3

my favorite lyric: why don't you show me a little bit of spine you've been saving for his mattress? I only want! you to think! in the form of you. crawling into bed with meee.... gets me every time holy shit

overall rating out of 10: god I always forget how good this album is until I listen to it by itself. 10/10 to be perfectly honest. no notes

send me an album!

[kenobihater]

there's currently a fucking squirrel in my wall (again. i think it's the spawn of scratchy the first) bc i live in an older house and it literally burrowed into the siding. i've been periodically knocking to get the little shit to stop burrowing bc i do NOT want a squirrel in my room. i've been laying here for abt five mins since last getting up to knock on the wall, and i swear to everything holy i just heard the fucker knock back

So I was late to AP world history again, and I had a pass but I decided to run through the hallways anyway and then I was cutting through the guidance commons and I decided I was going to take a really sharp turn around a pole that was next to a wall corner thing just for fun -idk it's hard to describe- and let me tell you, I skidded FULL FORCE legs swiped out from under me, spinning out on the ground, backpack still on and glasses somewhere on the floor, and (don't worry, I'm fine, I did gymnastics when I was little, I'm great at falling) while I was mid-crash I saw a guy in my peripheral vision and so before he could say anything I was already getting up and snatching my glasses up off the floor and jamming them onto my face and starting to run again and yelling "I'M FINE" and then out loud I also said "that was stupid of me! *ahaHa*" and I just continued running the rest of the way to APWH so I could take my test
