I heard my neighbors arguing loudly in the hall. I was unable to make out what either voice was saying until one of them said YOU'RE NOT EVEN ON THE LEASE! followed by dead silence.

If it was as dramatic an improvement as that one post I might be less annoyed haha

On the one hand: it is good that a recent vitamin I tried did in fact work the way I hoped, on the other hand: that's really fucking annoying

Angel Cammy! She has excellent taste

I now make burritos nearly daily, and the more routine they become as a meal, the more I think about that story about the guy who got a burrito with the fillings stacked wrong. The more burritos I make the more baffling that becomes as an error.

You need a haircut
You need a shoeshine
You need aristocratic glow-in-the-dark erotic magnet

I forgot the office closes early on fridays but security let me in anyway which is great because I have a migraine so I really needed that toothpaste I ordered, but it was very funny to pull on the locked door and then the security guard who opened it looked very teenager who just woke up dot jpg

I wonder if I'm just gonna have 12 Philippino sentimos in my account forever now

The one I was sent for example made it look like an email from paypal saying I was being sent $900 for "account activation" and to call a number (the number would be how they get you) - I'm fine I didn't get got, but I'm mentioning it in case that helps anyone spot the scam

Phishing method I hadn't heard of before until someone tried it on me: sending you like, fractions of a penny worth of foreign currency with a lie in the notes so paypal sends you an email with the lie in it so it looks legit

Nah, I just use a regular (but large) pan - I sometimes think about learning how to use a wok but haven't gotten around to it yet

Shrimp fried rice continues to be the recipe I am most happy to have memorized

lowkenuinely = low key genuinely
The other one is just an added dash of irreverence in the form of kirkification, as far as I can tell

I cannot make my vocabulary pick it up as an actual word, but I love "lowkenuinely" - I respect the innovation. And "lowkirkenuinely" is hilarious.

Genuinely the difference between wanting to kill myself and not seems to be "have I drawn anything, literally anything, even random lines, in the last 48 hours"

Right? One of them fixed my brittle fingernails though so I got that intermittent reinforcement. Pressing the button over and over like a rat in an experiment.

I powered through drawing some sketch blobs even though I feel like my brain is running on fumes I'm not allowed to disparage my self worth in my head while trying to sleep tonight

When doctors are kinda done trying to help you but you still find your life untenable, that's when you find yourself combing over studies about vitamins related to your condition and taking a chance on ones with vague positive results or correlations.

Me: *to Historian (the cat)* Can I eat my burrito now?
Historian: *jumps up on me and puts her face a centimeter away from mine*
Me: ... This is not conducive to eating the burrito
Mom: She waited long enough!

I am awake during the day so I should be taking advantage of that to accomplish things but I’m just so tired

Eh, there's no real benefit to me of learning to type correctly, according to my Glyphica scores I hover around 80 to 90 wpm (while video game panicking - I know I'm faster typing out of my head) I just find it funny that my conscious mind doesn't know where anything is but my hands do

I don't know how to touch type. I've been typing with two fingers for the last 35 years. If I look while typing carefully my accuracy plummets because I mix up similar looking letters because of my poor eyesight. My hands know where all the keys are but I don't, it's a secret they won't tell me.

Just me contemplating that one Tails Gets Trolled face again. I literally couldn't draw that emotion if I tried.

An important part of the development of an artist is realizing that a work of "outsider" art is 1. genuinely good 2. outside your ability to replicate, because learning your skill set trained you away from being able to do what the untrained do. You can learn, but you have to be humble.

I developed fibromyalgia at age 17, so a weird thing about being in my 40s is several of my problems are just normal now. Abled friends have some of the same complaints. Feels like waking up before everyone else at a sleepover, but extended out into years.

Today's random memory: from my mom: she took me with her on an errand when I was a baby. She of course dressed me appropriately, but I hated hats, so every time she looked away I tore it off and threw it. A cop stopped her saying the baby should be wearing a hat and she said "but she won't wear it!"

Basic lesson from this I've learned is that having a left elbow was a mistake

Every time my hand hurts in a new way, I use anatomy diagrams to figure out which nerve I pissed off and in the process I find out there's more fucking tunnels. All the other artists with carpal tunnel and I'm out here giving my *non-dominant* hand cubital tunnel and radial tunnel shit

Neighbor is listening to something loud enough I can hear (not loud enough to be annoying) but this time it's Ed, Edd and Eddy. Glad to know their child is receiving a proper education.

I got some mandarinquats the other day - like kumquats the skin is edible and sweet, but the fruit is sweet and tangy rather than extremely sour like kumquats. I like the contrast of kumquats, but if the flavor equivalent of a punch in the face isn't your speed try mandarinquats if you can
