Sometimes… sometimes I wonder how someone can look at another person, hear that they’re struggling, and then somehow make it about themselves. Subtle enough that it’s not “who cares, let’s talk about me” but direct enough that the other person has to swallow down anger and frustration as to not escalate the situation

This might be my most boomer take yet but the culture of concert-going has become exhausting and unpleasant. It’s particularly bad with kpop concerts, but I’ve noticed that a majority of young people (gen Z) go to concerts exclusively to record it, whether for themselves or for social media, and the result is that I end up watching a sea of phone screens instead of the artist. Today, when I was at an outdoor concert on a flat field, that meant that I literally could not see the artists because of everyone else holding up their phones to record. I am not short. It’s absurd.

Also, at kpop concerts especially, I genuinely have trouble hearing the artists because the people around me are shrieking in my ears. I’m not talking about singing along. I’m talking about just toneless screaming. I get it, it’s your favorite artist(s) and you’re very excited to see them perform. But what exactly is the shrieking accomplishing? Neither you nor the people around you can hear the artist over the screams. What exactly are we doing here if not watching and listening to a performance? I didn’t pay to hear your screams.

Sorry to be all get off my lawn about this but it’s genuinely making it unpleasant to go see live music, at least music geared towards a certain demographic. Music, especially performed live, is a gift. Let’s not squander it for attention.

around 6 o'clock (east coast u.s. standard time) some guy from fucking australia, with no mutual friends obviously, friend- and message-requested me on facebook saying he hoped i didn't mind the add, but "you came up in my recommended and are the cutest ginger i've ever seen." and it like literally gave me chills because holy hellllll, how the FUCK did this guy find my profile? i have no public posts; i hardly ever comment on public posts; i don't post in large, active groups; etc etc etc etc so it creeped the FUCK out of me. sometimes fb puts ppl w no mutual friends in my "people you may know" but, creepily enough, they often are people i... know, if not have some sort of mutual connection with? like they might be old classmates or friends of friends creating new profiles (so no mutual friends yet), etc. and this is true for ppl who also don't have info on their profile saying they live in/near my hometown, went to my school at some point, etc. like THAT is very creepy how meta somehow knows that. but this guy from australia i am absolutely sure i have no connection to whatsoever. WHY WOULD I???? i have no connection to australia at all other than a couple of mutuals i have on here.

so anyway i took a screenshot of the message and showed it to my friends cuz i was freaking out about it and needed to get that off my chest and one friend was like "why dont you block him" (me reading that 4 hours later) and im like you know what i didnt think it was necessary but not a bad idea. and i go to check the message request and the message was unsent, and he also deleted the friend request. lmaooooo. maybe his girlfriend found his phone

okay I've decided against pursuing any sort of diagnosis re: my growing suspicions I have ADHD/something of that ilk for a variety of reasons, but it will NEVER stop galling me how I lack object permanence. like a baby. I need to have clear storage containers because if I cannot see something I forget it exists. it's both a relief to know that there is a potential "explanation" for such behavior but also realizing that most other people can do convenient things (like: remembering the existence of stuff) is also FRUSTRATINGGGG because I wish that was me! imagine being able to remember things not only casually but well! imagine that! god!

Love seeing the fob insanity u have going on <3 feels good to see someone else externalizing all the feels bc my god what a fucking show. When I bought the Tix it was basically on impulse cuz I don't listen to them as much anymore but my subconscious clearly knew what it was doing cuz that show converted me again fall out boy forever and ever and ever fr fr

if there is one truth about me is that i'm insane and that i have the personality of a dog with a squeaky chew toy and i will make it everyone's problem (right now being fob insanity tbh askjdfasojfdsoai)

AND LITROLEE LITROLEEEEEEEEEE IT WAS SO. ive talked about the show a lot to a bunch of people already and i know that im just repeating the same words over and over but it really was. spellbinding. speechless. patrick has the voice of a thousand vengeful angels about to smite a city. i went a bit crazy the entire concert and was just jumping around which was soooo fun (shout out to the girls behind me and my sis, our section was kinda dead but we were Out There For Real). arms race was out of this world. heaven iowa was.....patrick sounded UNREAL? BETTER THAN THE RECORDING???....hearing patrick sing the words true blue LIVE!!!!, i dont think i'll ever get over it. the fucking staging, the logo turning into the bright sun with the lights during love from the other side is permanently seared into my brain like holyyyyyyyyyyy shit, the spinning earth over hold me like a grudge....screaming along to chicago is so two years ago in my favorite place in the entire fucking world...literally unreal.
