10.14.24 || went to the state fair of tx

it’s a little weird to be living in my homestate again after living in nyc for three years. sometimes it feels like I woke up from a dream to find myself in my parents house.

state fair was fun though! still a proud texan, I guess

It might be the last truly warm day for a while so I wore my favorite superlight dress which is soft on me / seconds after walking in the door / thinking about / my novel character’s translation of a Lorca stanza

I am very sleepy and have been mostly sleep-deprived most of the fall

Might be the prettiest one I've done.

Sharing

It used to be a thing:

Nobody touches my notebook,

Reading them was banned,

Tearing out pages frowned upon.

It was never from me,

Never my rules or requests,

Just given to me by others.

I'd happily be sharing,

Suggest using pages for a game,

And be shut down first of all;

Glad I had a blank notebook that day.

Or freely let someone read one,

Get it handed back as too personal,

Never understood that.

It was just my emotions,

Witnessed easily anytime,

Why wouldn't I share the written form?

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

Reminding myself to make the features of my trans-coded character designs more prominent as a lil' treat 'cause the constant headlines here in the UK debating whether we should be allowed to exist are driving me up the fuckin' wall actually ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️

i bend sexily over my lab bench to jot down a data point but my assistant doesn’t notice because they’re too busy drawing little faces on the test tubes and making them kiss

12.28.23 || wrapping up the year

Next year is all about being soft and living without expectations. I just want to do what I need to do with no additional pressure to improve myself.

Nothing particularly informative to tell you about the LA wildfires—I don’t have money so I don’t live in a desirable area, and in these parts that means, sadly, oddly, that I am pretty much unburnable; the desirable places are green and hilly, and the cheaper places are all concrete and surrounded by highways. The air smells like a bonfire and is very bad to breathe, the light is minorly tinted and as you can see in the first pic there’s a bank of wild smoke along the horizon (those aren’t clouds!) but really this is other people’s experience. Still without power, but I have solar chargers and many flashlights and the hot water is still going and anyhow I can use the stove.

The winds were remarkable last night. They pushed you around like they do in the Great Lakes—and the palms and cypresses are so terribly high and thin, so you stagger down by the ground and you stare up at the trees bending in Doctor Seuss curves. I felt foolish standing around staring in my stupid loungewear and my sixteen jackets but I didn’t want to stop looking.

Today I had my first stretch of real sleep in a few days and I feel considerably saner. That’s neither here nor there I guess.

I made a tiny coptic notebook and it's so cute!

[sketchyfandomgirl]

Thinking of Ghost carting around a tiny notebook, it’s basically a keychain that hangs from his belt loop. The kicker? It’s cute. Like, uncharacteristically so, for a man like Ghost that is.

It’s fucking pink. With goddamn glitter and a cat on it. With a small, pink pen to match!

Everyone who’s seen the keychain all think they’re having a damn stroke seeing the stupid thing for the first time. It’s so small, like if was meant for a kid, so what the hell is a Lieutenant doing with a fucking keychain notebook?

The purpose is debated to this day. To keep track of all he kills in the field? Marking losses? Reminders for the future? Fucking journaling his feelings?? No one even know if Ghost ever uses it, but are well aware that the man is strangely protective of his notebook, like some sort of rabid dog. snapping at anyone who tries to take it, and god forbid someone touches it. At least they know he’s aware of the pink notebook.

But the real reason Ghost even has it? Why would he even carry such a dainty, childish thing like that? How could he even manage to write so small with such large, almost clumsy fingers?

It’s where he writes his jokes.

It’s his fucking personal joke book.

OK, but Glinda putting the flower Fiyero gave her in Elphaba’s hair. They're a throuple, your honor.
