If I see one more post shitting on Percy for being "your average white gym bro frat boy" while praising annabeth for being the "kindest, most empathetic and selfless person ever" I will actually lose it

procrastination is an almighty force. ”just going to go for a quick chill run before starting to study to re-energize a bit” vs. 2h & 14km later back at my apartment and everything hurts, just bc I didn’t want to start to study

this is a stretch and personal indulgence but the thought of az with his hood on for some reason to me vaguely looks like a grim reaper (you know with the dark robe with a hood over it)...idk what else to add.

others have noted this before but since it is most likely that he became a subject of urban myths throughout time ...maybe there is a legend if you stay outside too long after the sun sets, some tall eldritch entity of death would be wandering by and snatch you or something...

One more week, and I go back to work. Less than a week, and I go back to mondio with Valkyrie and nosework classes with TenSoon. Nothing feels real yet. I don't feel ready yet. But I'm getting closer. There's not another choice.

i'm asking purely out of curiosity, not judging at all! if you already expected flashing lights like at their previous shows, what made you decide to go to the tour anyway? was it the prospect of meeting them?

a few things:

I have tried 3 new migraine preventatives since I bought tickets on June 28th. One I had to stop because of the side effects, one made my migraines WORSE somehow, and one I'm still on and am reasonably happy with because it reduced the severity of my migraines somewhat (though did nothing for the frequency since I'm still having a status migraine) and didn't have any major side effects. I hope to try another before my show in November. Of course I don't know yet if it will work, but I should qualify for far more effective treatment now that I've failed so many other medications. I've known since, like, January, that my migraines are severe and difficult to treat, even for status migraines. But I have/had 4 full months between buying my tickets and going to my show. That's a lot of time. I did not expect to be cured by now. I have never expected to be cured. I know that migraine is incurable. But I had no way of knowing what my health would be like now. I still have no way of knowing what my health will be like in 2 months. It could be a lot better. It could be worse, though I think that's unlikely. This is the fundamental nature of a recently diagnosed and poorly controlled health issue. The next drug you try might work incredibly well. Or it might be awful and you're left waiting another month and a half before you can see your doctor again.

I'm a really big fan. Obviously. I think many people who are really big fans of Dan and Phil would still go to tit if it gave them a migraine. Many people willingly go out drinking with their friends even though they know it might give them a hangover later. It's really not that weird.

In Dan's tweet he said their flash effects are typical of stage shows. This is true! Even if this was just a question of me wanting to leave the house and see a show (which i want to do so bad i'm so bored), it's not easy to find another show I can go to instead that won't have flashing lights. I can't even go outside without seeing flashing lights. They're fucking everywhere. I have made the brave yet controversial decision not to remove myself from public life about it!

My head is going to hurt anyway. Am I really not allowed to have any fun, too??

A friend of mine got into a fight today

It was premeditated, but I talked him out of it. He's extremely stubborn, and he has a bit of an ego, but to my surprise, he actually listened

However, in the class that I share with him and the stupid, loud-mouth guy that he was going to fight, said guy got in his face, and as soon as any contact was made, I sprinted and got my teacher, who was luckily a coach and could separate them if need be

Luckily, that wasn't the case, but my friend who saw it did see my friend get punched. She isn't entirely sure what she saw, but she thinks the guy hit him, but my friend only pushed him. (Whether that's because the teacher was coming or because he knew I didn't want him to fight; I assume it's the former, but yk)

My teacher stopped them, and the guy (a repeat offender) went straight to the office, and my friend was pulled into the hallway

We had a test, so I tried my best to study, but I felt shakier than I think I've ever felt before from a combination of the adrenaline I felt and the anxiety and concern I felt over my friend

Before the test started, however, the vice principal pulled me, the friend of mine who saw it, and three others into the hallway as witnesses. I knew the most, so I'm glad she called me out, and she said we were trustworthy, which I assume is from the time I reported other things to her.

I told her everything I knew, although still a little shaky, and I went back and took my test

I'm on the bus now, and that was 7th period, but it's still on my mind

Someone in 8th period was retelling it to his friends, and he, to my surprise, mocked my part (which was going and getting the teacher because I didn't want my friend to be hurt) in a squeaky voice as if I was in the wrong

I don't have my friend's number, so I emailed him on his school email, and I hope he checks it so I can check in on him

i have been here for [redacted] years on this bitch of an earth and it only just occurred to me that the reason my one shoulder is ALWAYS higher than the other when I do a body scan thing, whether for yoga or meditation, is because my fucking spine is diagnosed as Not Straight. "I can never get this knot out of my shoulder to get it to relax" that's not a knot girl that's your fucking bones

it's been a month since we moved into the new apartment -

I'm so stressed. everything is stressful. we're still not done building the kitchen but it's getting there (slowly). mostly we just need to wait until we get a couple parts that weren't in stock when we ordered the rest. I'm hoping it'll be done by next weekend.

some of it is very frustrating with my brain specifically. I'm so bothered by all the tiny little things that no one else would even notice - like, some of the handles on the drawers are very slightly crooked (as in, less than a millimeter higher on one side) - but for me it's so obvious that it's impossible to ignore. my husband didn't even know what I meant when I pointed it out to him. there's also been a few slightly bigger issues, but we've solved them now (I think).

my eye has been twitching for like three to four weeks. not all the time obviously, but every few minutes. it's very, very annoying.

we still have no new info about when we'll have internet finally. it could take a while still.

on Monday a guy has to replace something in the electric roller shutters in one room - but we don't know which one yet. so either I'll have to let him into my room (awful, uncomfortable, will have to tidy up tomorrow so he could even get to the window), or I'll have to get both our cats into their carrier if it's the one in my husband's room (awful, difficult, one of them doesn't like that so he'll be scared and I'll feel bad).

also on Monday the electrician will install our stove (if he has time). then we're getting two ikea deliveries. and I've got an appointment with my (new) GP because I need a prescription, and I'm very (verrry) nervous about it.

I miss watching TV. I miss tumblr and YouTube and messaging my friends whenever I want and sending them photos all the time. I miss order and structure and (some level of) routine. I miss using real cutlery (we still haven't found ours lol).

when I was finally starting to get used to the noises in this place, the family above us moved in with their baby that cries all the time very very loudly and most of the time right above my room. so now everything is different again and I'm not adjusting well and once again I can't sleep.

but, I've listened to 14 audiobooks since we moved! that's been nice. it was the same way when we moved the last time (just over a year ago..). my favourite by far was The Thursday Murder Club. I've got the other ones in the series but I'm trying not to listen to them too quickly, so I'm gonna listen to three other books first (one is done already, so I should get there on Monday or Tuesday hopefully).

Honestly I hope u guys enjoy all my bowling and orchestra posting. I've got my 3 other classes that I've been keeping up with and all, but they are not really on my mind. No, what I care about is Orchestra and Bowling. Obviously not gonna let my actual classes suffer for it bc those are the ones I need to actually graduate. But I'm so glad I decided to sign up for orchestra and bowling like this. It means my schedule is pretty full bc I Am taking 5 classes (even if I only really have the course load of 3), but it's pretty worth it.

It's Enrichment for me... returning to an old + beloved hobby and developing a new hobby!! Which I've done recreational bowling for about as long as I can remember, but it's never been smth I've actually Tried to get better at before now. But now that I've been learning about the actual proper process of it all, it's really exciting!!! And getting to see such a dramatic improvement already has me just. Excited!!!!! I can be pretty good at bowling, actually!!!! And I love that for me.

The Stress is Stressing™. I have approximately 1,000,000 things to do until school starts back up in a week but simultaneously no time or energy to get things done despite already having five weeks of holiday behind me (anyone else for overbooking free time because you wanna do all the things with a tiny side of fomo and people pleasing??).

I meant to start this new school year on such a relaxed, put together note and it currently does not feel like it will be that, yet.

it's a bummer that i only get a strong conviction to go out on Walks when it's like 20 degrees outside. can't we get this impulse in the spring or something...?
