Conversation I had at work today:

Me: you’re wearing your Viking tie today. That pattern always makes me think of little Viking shields.

Coworker: oh, that’s perfect. My whole family are Vikings.

Me: ᚦᚢ:ᛁᚱᛏ:ᚢᛁᚴᛁᚾᚴᚱ?

Him: ???

Me: Þú ert víkingr?

Him: *says something in confused Spanish* (he’s not Hispanic, mind you)

Me: I’m speaking Old Norse, not Spanish. I’m asking if you’re a Viking.

Him: yeah, my ancestors were all Vikings.

Me: No they weren’t.

Him: how do you know?

Me: because I know what the word ‘Viking’ means. It’s not an ethnic term. I doubt all of your ancestors were plunderers.

Him: how do you know? (His tone is more joking at this point, I think.)

Me: …

Me: so where from Scandinavia do you have family?

Him: idk

🤦🏻‍♂️

Fozzie had a LOVELY day with me and Pasta Mama today at the lake!

Mom sat and read at a picnic table while me and Spud headed down to the water to hunt for driftwood. Which was a huge deal, because Fozzie has never seen Big Water (TM) before!

Fozzie wisdom thoughts on Big Water"

Waves are SCARY when they first touch your feet but if you have your Mama there they become less scary. Always bring someone with Mama energy when doing scary things.

If your Mama goes in the water chasing large driftwood, even though the Big Water is scary, YOU MUST FOLLOW HER AND BE BRAVE EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Oh, scary thing is WAY less scary once you get in and realize there's nothing to hurt-

OH GOD ALGAE ALGAE TOUCHED MY FEET YIPE YIPE YIPE

Oh, algae is just a plant, like grass. Sometimes what feels scary also isn't that scary. Back in water.

It is ok if you wade in up to your chest and then decide to leave swimming for another day. Your Mama will be proud of you either way and tell you that you did so good! You are good! You did the best of everyone, you are brave!

And lastly, remember to sit and enjoy the breeze and stare at the fun things you picked up. Always pick things up.

Bonus: share the car with A GIANT STICK AS LONG AS THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR THAT YOUR MAMA FISHED OUT OF THE LAKE

Gillion knowing the curse is taking hold, that he’s dying, unsure if there will be a fix, if they’ll get there in time. Using his time with Jay and Chip asking questions, and offering answers in return, so they at least won’t be caught unprepared if he dies with all the things they wanted to say - and using the opportunity to ask them about the little things. Chip’s favorite flavor, Jay’s favorite animal, what they love and what he loves too. Laying on that table when they make it to Featherbrooke, May Ferrin talking to him like he’s not dying at all, trying to keep him awake, keep him comfortable, and all he can talk about is Chip and Jay. There was nothing more important than imparting their knowledge, no other final words he might have wanted to share, because they are what is most important to him. All the little things that make up who he loves. He thought he was going to die, was dying, and he talked about raspberries, purely for the fact that it’s Chip’s favorite flavor.

Being home alone with my dad this weekend is a horror experience because he does not know how to cook a single thing but he insists for me not to do anything because I have a huge exam coming up. So every time I walk into the kitchen I'm hit with an urge to strangle someone

whenever I say I want a friend group to do stuff with as a group but struggle to get that, I always get responses from people saying they hate being part of a group of friends and avoid it and i'm better off only having a few individual friends. because friend groups are drama and stuff.

what they think I want is a group of friends who are all friends together and only hang out together and don't have other friends outside of this group or something like that probably. that's not actually what i'm saying. I had that once and it ended with individual friends I brought together and introduced to each other becoming closer friends with each other and kicking me out. I dont really want that again. so i'm not looking for a group chat that talks daily.

what I want more and actually mean is a group of individual friends or people who are get acquainted and get along well enough who can come together as a group and do group activities with me. they don't all be friends outside of these activities. they just do stuff with me because they all like me I guess??? (difficulty level: impossible) for example: play multi-player video games, do a cosplay group of multiple characters from one series, do photoshoots or videos or some other creative project together, go bowling or play tennis or something. I want to do activities that require/would be better with more than me alone or one other person. we don't need to chat every day or even every month. we don't need to necessarily chat outside of the activities. I just want enough people that want to be around me that they agree to meet up as a group and participate in the activities I want to do with them!

also, i get that some autistic people are overwhelmed by too many people and not getting to converse. as an autistic that struggles to talk and converse, I feel overwhelmed and pressured when i'm with only one person and am forced to talk and entertsim that person the whole time. if i'm with more people, they can talk and entertain each other. I just want them to include me and talk to me but not expect me to speak the entire time and entertain them. not assume i'm bored or hate them because i'm not speaking. they let me enjoy the activity with them and include me, but they don't make me the center of attention. I can't multitasking. I like doing things with people. either you get a disjointed and bad conversation from me only (which requires a quiet space like sitting at my house doing nothing) or we do something fun and I don't force myself to talk the whole time and enjoy the activities instead. everyone hates "awkward silence" and wants to have verbal conversation. but that's hard for me. so I benefit from groups because of that too.

but mainly I just want people to do things with me that I need more people for. so i need a "friend group" aka a group of people i'm friends with who are OK doing things with me AND other people in a group setting. most individual friends I've bad refuse to participate in anything with more people, especially strangers. so i've missed out on and have to give up SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO.

ove been trying to get at least 5 other people to play gartic phone with me for YEARS. I had one person try to play with me and it doesn't work with 2 players 😭😭😭 this is why I need a group!!!!

as much as i'd love a cute little found found family of 3-4 of us who stifk together and love each other equally forever, I gave up on that idea. it's impossible. im better off having this other idea of friend group. JUST SO I CAN LEAVE NY HOUSE A FEW TIMES A YEAR AND GET TO EXPERIENCE THINGS IN LIFE AMD DO FUN ACTIVITIES. thats all I ask for and i get nothing. no one invites me and my invitations are turned down. meeting one-on-one is stressful and I bore the person to death when I burn my single spoon of the day before we even get to the place we go to. I dread all the "why are you so quiet/why won't you talk/what do you want to do make the decision for us/you look bored and annoyed and upset/you aren't having fun/you hate me" that get every time I do something with one person.

yeah being in a group i get left out and ignored and left behind. but THATS THE THING I WANT A GROUP THAT DOESNT DO THAT. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO HARD. WHY IS IT IMPPSSOBLE TO GET THE TYPE OF HUMAN INTERACTION I WAMT AND NEED TO LIVE A HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE?! I DONT UNDERSTAND. WHY AM I SO INCONVENIENT AND UNLIKEABLE AND UNWANTED AND UNWORTHY IN GENERAL! ITS UNFAIR.

you can't tell me to keep trying and find "the one(s)" and "it will happen ONE DAY" i'm tired of waiting for "one day" when this mythical one day hasn't happened in 30 years! I don't care about a possible future that may not exist. I care about HERE AND NOW ONLY. THE PRESENT. THATS WHAT MATTERS. I dont care if it took you until you're 27 or 45 or 70 to find your best friend(s) thar doesn't help me feel better! doesn't give me the hope you think it will. good for you. but i'm not you. everyone wants to give advice but no one wants to step up. I try talking to them and they tell me how to find other friends but wont realize i'm trying to be their friend! or don't give me a chance.

i've found "the one" so many times and they ended up being a false hope. I put in 100% of the work at all times. i'm the only desperate needy loser that has no close friends and get denied/ignored 99% of the time. I don't have energy for this. I can't keep doing it! no one understands how hard I try. i've tried in person stuff. i've tried discord servers. i've posted on social media. I even posted in Facebook groups and I hate Facebook with a passion. I try groups of interests I have. i'm always the weird outcast in every situation. I can't even get among with and befriend fellow autistics. I don't know what's wrong with me! i've tried talking to at least 500 different people last year if you count all active people in discord servers and Facebook groups i've tried. i've tried at least 50 individuals both online and off. nothing works!!!! I don't know why!!!

I will whine about this stuff until the day I die. alone and probably unnoticed 😔✊️ no other way to get frustration out than whine about it over and over right?
