You are, you know, you were the nearest thing to a real story to happen in my life.

You might have seen fireworks at a Disney park some time in your life, maybe even one of their nighttime spectaculars, but have you seen the nighttime spectacular at Hong King Disneyland?

You're welcome.

I forgot what it was like to be a person.

Like a Full Person, with Feelings, and Likes, and Movement, and Energy. Thinking in new ways, forging new mental pathways to ideas and thoughts I've been staring at for years with no resolution.

I forgot what it was to Think. To Live!

I danced for 40 minutes today, just moving my body. I literally cannot remember the last time I did that. I feel like I'm waking up from a long long dream that hurt me.

I've been listening to the same music mostly for the past few years, but today all the lyrics said new things to me. There's hope, and sunshine, burn a blaze across the sky, be a badass. Today, I believe I can do it.

My future is bright, and I'm shedding the old to make way for the new.

DAMN I feel good today!

26/11/22-Snow Bunting and more at Milford-on-Sea  

We came here today to look for this bird that had been around, a species I was hoping I’d get a chance to see before the end of the year and as we walked towards the cafe’ we saw it was present straight away. Then we got some stunning views of this bird that has the beauty, texture and colour of a rich wedding cake. We saw it a few times whilst here for a bit this afternoon, seeing it fly high too which we’d rarely seen in past sightings of the species. It looked like a paper aeroplane gliding through the air as it flashed the bright white of its wings. These are birds that are known to be obliging for seeing when they turn up and we’ve had some amazing views of them in my five previous sightings but these were surreal and wonderful close views and some of my best ever of this species. Like the one we saw last November at Hook-with-Warsash and other of my past sightings just arriving and seeing the bird straight away is so memorable. It was a true pleasure to see and take photos of this fantastic bird, I so love seeing these, and it brought me such joy to see this bird. Joy it was great to share with a few others, fellow bird/photography enthusiasts and passers by. I took the first four and final three pictures in this photoset of it, it was so good to see it on the varied surfaces of vegetation, muddy areas and the paving by the cafe. 

This is such a fascinating and eye catching little bird. It was interesting to see it wet from the rain. It’s my most westerly ever sighting of a Snow Bunting as my five previous sightings were all at coastal spots east of home. It’s one of my best birds seen this year and is my 203rd bird of the year in a nice surge of year ticks I’ve had this month so far to take my year list into the 200s after reaching the 200 species seen this year at the end of September and making it my highest ever. It’s interesting how many of my recent year ticks have been species that were star birds of my 2019 the previous year list of mine this year beat to be my highest. It’s my fourth bunting species seen this year after Reed Bunting, Corn Bunting and Yellowhammer in another great year I’ve had seeing these wondrous and varied little birds.

Also at Milford it was lovely to see a Pied Wagtail intimately that associated with the Snow Bunting for a bit seeing them fly into each other at one point which was great, I have had a good time for seeing Pied Wagtails this month and getting chances for photos. I took the fifth and sixth pictures in this photoset of the Pied Wagtail. I also liked seeing Black-headed Gull here well with intimate views in the car park and Herring Gull over the sea as well as some Turnstones flying over the choppy sea. It did get wet whilst there so was another November Saturday seeing a rare bird in the rain after Black Redstart at Southsea Castle three weeks ago. I saw Black Redstart and Snow Bunting on the same day at Southsea Castle and the place I‘ve seen Snow Bunting most Hill Head respectively in 2017 so I always associate these with each other. It was nice to take in the views of a dramatic day here in the wet and windy weather, with Hurst Castle and the beach and spit looking nice as shown in the seventh picture I took in this photoset today. The Needles loomed nicely in the distance over on the Isle of Wight and it was interesting to see them disappear as the rain came on more. I saw a nice flower here possible a bit of thrift.

On the way here it was nice to see so much of interest from the car; some blossom on trees visible from beside the motorway near Totton which I noticed last winter another strange seasonal sight, Lower Test looking more flooded than I recall seeing before and a selection of roadside and garden flowers. This included yarrow, ragwort, hogweed and some red hot poker in someone’s garden I believe. I saw the elegant sight of a hovering Kestrel from the car which was memorable too and nice autumnal colour on the way back with lots of mistletoe seen nicely on journeys too. As we passed my old college Barton Peveril tonight on the way back I noticed the crane visible from my room and Lakeside which I saw yesterday is here for some work they’re doing as are a few other bits of tall machinery I have noticed in the view from my room the last few months. When we moved in here I had a few months of college left and I enjoyed not having too much of a walk - but an enjoyable one - to college on the days spent at this house then but it’s still fascinating to know where something visible from my room actually is. I enjoyed the spider near a crack in the hallway and the Silver-sided Sector spider the other side of the window at home tonight.

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.
