Also this is a very petty annoyance, but my favourite shorts are now WAAAAY too big for me, and I can absolutely take the waist in, but I'm lazy.
I should be going to bed because I switch to early shifts tomorrow, but I want to go work on a craft thing.
(this really should have been on my rl account, but I couldn't be arsed to switch logins)
Oh god. This is what terrifies me.
I went and had a word and got the traditional "oh god I can't breathe, ugh look at yourself" and "I'm just trying to play Pokémon" from two of the spottiest, greasiest teenage boys I've ever seen.
Is it appropriate to make an announcement of "can the children faking orgasm noises please cease and desist" to the bunch of teenagers.
I'm not sure they've ever seen tits beyond a computer screen, and shockingly they got off at Rugeley and ran for the Birmingham train from the other platform.
My dad is meant to be coming over to spray some weedkiller around parts of the garden.
The sky has just gone black so I suspect it's about to rain, thus rendering weedkiller pointless.
A black fake Lego rose being held by a white person's hand.
I picked up a goth rose a while ago, the instructions were terrible, but it looks really cool!
RIP Moya Brennan, a wonderful singer, composer, harpist, sister of Enya, and gave - with Clannad - the first ever performance in Irish on Top of the Pops. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zHT...

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:
I have a body and I'm so fucking fed up of this, and I feel like all I'm ever doing is complaining about this at the moment.
I was doing ok last week, then over did it with a couple of extra days of work and now I'm wrecked.
Life is actually pretty good. I just can't enjoy it.
digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role, based on The Star tarot card. it is styled like a painting done on tan canvas, with strips of unpainted canvas at the top and bottom. 'XVII' and 'The Star' are written in slanted cursive above and below the painting, respectively. Essek and Caleb are in their garden, on their knees and hugging each other tightly. in front of them, there is a low strawberry plant, many berries visible from under the green leaves. next to them, on the ground, there is a ceramic jug and a watering can, on their sides as if discarded hastily in a rush to embrace, with water flowing from them onto the dark soil. behind the characters, trees and a cozy cottage house are visible in the background, and around them seven glowing motes are floating in the air. both Caleb and Essek are depicted barefoot and wearing summer clothes: a darker well-tailored ensemble of short trousers and a short-sleeved shirt for Essek and a more rustic and earth toned combination of shortened slacks and a white shirt with rolled up sleeves for Caleb. Essek has dark gardening gloves on, with a subtle rose print on them, while Caleb's hands are naked. the soles of their feet and their forearms are smudged with dirt. Essek is resting his chin on Caleb's shoulder with his eyes closed, while Caleb is slumped into his partner. his face is not visible, but judging from the position of his hair, he is hiding his face in Essek's shoulder. a tiny sliver of negative space between them is catching the setting sun behind them, and the filtering sunlight is creating a large glowing four-pointed flare over the darkened figures.

I'm tired and grumpy and have been referred to as "the lady with the lovely hair" or "the train lady" too many times today, I want to crawl out of my skin.
I'm halfway through my shift, I have a stupid email to respond to and two more trains
I still have soooooo many fic tabs open, but I found a fic that I actually noped out of. I think I might have found my HR nope level.
(looked like excellent fic, premise just sat off with me, so I closed the tab)
The fact that the ramen place at new street doesn't open until 1200 and my break is at 1130-1230 makes me so sad. I don't have time for ramen. And I'm fucking starving right now because breakfast was a couple of biscuits about 4 hours ago.

Engineering works have been "completed"
Engineering works have not been tested.
Everything is running slow and late today.
Update... had a nap, now feel awful. I am made of really bad life choices this week.
I want a nap, but it's a bit late for a nap now.
I am just very snoozy (my bedroom gets afternoon sun, so it's warm and Jazz is also snoozy)
You are a fucking legend!
I stayed up finishing my book, and now I'm hungry (unrelated to the book, I just ate weirdly today)
a one page rpg as indicated above. it's an absolute wall of text, and I feel terrible and extremely guilty but I honestly don't think there's any way to translate it into this box.
alright its time for another one page rpg, so here is Gay Hockey Dragon Sex Coffee Shop Romantic Sportsball Cozy Dark Fantasy which I feel covers all my bases pretty neatly
For transgender day of visibility, here's an article about how long the waiting list for a gender identity clinic first appointment is in my city. I've just had to accept that without winning the lottery I won't have access 🤷

Given that most of what I write is niche pairings, I'm not shocked (but a little disappointed)

A photo of a white person wearing all black from above. Half of their face is visible, the other half is covered by their hair, which goes from bright oranges with flashes of yellow and green at the roots, through to cherry pink and down to a royal blue at the tips.
Got my hair done yesterday. I said "cyberpunk" and my stylist went "hold my beer" and created something magical.
Such an excellent manatee!
