#the second time i wasn't in the state

i got an notice of noncompliance from the court cuz i didn't fulfill my jury duty :(

I am once again thinking about how odysseus who witnessed the horrors that the captured women went through (one of his main duties in the iliad was taking the women back home and making sure they were as comfortable as possible and safe because he was the only one trusted not to violate them further due to his devotion to penelope. And in the odyssey part of the reason circe sent him to the underworld was so that he'd have to listen to all these women's stories (before he could talk to the prophet) ). Who was one of the few that saw women as people and respected their space and opinions. And was then put in those exact same situations. I don't have the motivation right now to do a full literary analysis of this (I'll site the sources too) but oh man one day I'm going to write a full essay on this.

[hopeswriting]

thinking again about how our first introduction to ryohei was reborn saying "sasagawa ryohei. an impressive one" and being really normal about it. are you normal about it? you should think about it and be normal about it too

i think it's pretty cool when you think something's just seemingly universally fanon but then you look back at source material and there IS actually a little canon basis. idk

I started a literature course at the public library and there was the poshest women I've ever heard in my life there my eyes literally widened in disbelief at the way she was pronouncing some words omg...

Thinking about Kristen Applebees so hard rn. Might go rewatch literally all of freshman year.

[queen-scribbles]

Oh yeah, btw, I did definitely get the one temporary part-time job. It's not much, but it's something.

And the timeline for the other thing got a bit more urgent, so I'm gonna call about that later today or tomorrow to see if me doing part time around the other gig is something workable. (Especially since the first one's only until the end of the school year)

[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

I am currently not going to delete this because it gives me a weird sort of amusement, but it should probably be obvious by now that this kind of "joke" is more or less just a fancy way to say "fuck this I want to be asleep but instead I have to be awake"

At best, what it achieves is "so I have these stupid problems that could be fixed in like 5 minutes if I just had a few more hours before I have to be awake, but these problems are actually very boring so I might as well just do something else for a little while"

At worst, it gets me to stop and think about all the awful and pointless things I've done for a little while, all of which are less than 5 minutes if I only had like 5 minutes more before I had to do them. And this is all in the service of being awake, something which is really not even slightly interesting, it is such a relief to be asleep, so there is no reason whatsoever to go through any of the hassle of getting back to sleep when you could just do something else while awake

And if all the annoying stuff was interesting, if it was at least mildly interesting, it would not be that much easier for me to stop doing it for a while -- I can't just switch over to a completely different sort of interesting thing I could be doing without, oh, 5 minutes of procrastination, and now I have 5 more minutes wasted even if I had been doing something else before the start of that procrastination

Once again, my favorite part of my job is pissing off my medic and ruining their day lmao

Where in the world were Mulder and Scully?

I'm sure someone else has already made this list, but I've decided to keep track of how many U.S. states (and DC) (and Puerto Rico) Mulder and Scully investigate an incident in. Not counting other locations where part of the incident happens but Mulder and Scully never go to (like England in 1:12). (edited 3/27/24 after watching 2:19) This started as a list of US states and I continue to be interested in counting US states and territories, but the time has come to set up the list for other locations as well. This list includes places that Mulder and/or Scully go to during the episode to investigate a case. Action in DC that is not related to a case in DC does not count. If the action is in DC and spills over to Maryland and/or Virginia, I just count DC, but if the thing starts in VA and then things also happen in DC, I count both. I don't know, it's not an exact science, and the DC area is fluid to me. So far we have...

1, 3, and 8 for the fun things to be asked

001. what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are? rather than just link you to my other answer, i will provide more (non-trauamtic) defining facets of my life: 1) my parents being almost 40 by the time they had me (38 and 39 respectively); 2) not getting my drivers license until i was 23 (follow this experience through the tag #kat learns to drive); and 3) my school in germany only having a mixed gender soccer team when i moved there in 4th grade

003. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of? i feel like this is more difficult to just limit myself to 3. here's 3 random ones off the top of my head: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, apollo 13, and the cutting edge.

008. any reacquiring dreams? unfortunately i don't, so i WILL be linking to my original answer here :)

ask fun questions!

[radioactive-cloud]

those past few days are really testing my patience with some of the takes and opinions i've seen on the internet and i'm so fucking done with all of this i just want to delete all my accounts from everywhere and live somewhere in the woods (as far away from russia as i can) and to never come in contact with another human being again

Remembering how I had an allergic reaction one summer. Complete with hundreds of hives all over my back and my throat swelling. And I had to go to the ER and get an IV of antihistamines.

And then I went to the allergist and they didn't see any new allergies on the test so the allergist said THAT I MUST HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY BUGS AND DIDN'T NOTICE. THAT I WAS BITTEN MY HUNDREDS OF BUGS THAT GAVE ME HIVES. NOT BITES. AND I DIDN'T NOTICE. AND YES HE WAS A MAN
