The internal conflict of wanting to love and support your friends through all the new chapters of their lives, while also feeling like baby showers are a circle of hell for childfree people like yourself who don’t particularly like children.

Someone came out of the yarn room

Every Winter ends.

I was so hyperfocused on a task at school that I didn’t notice the earthquake at all, in case you want to know how neurotypical I definitely am.

Wishing all the people riding their e-bikes on the sidewalk and beeping angrily at me for “being in their way” (standing at the bus stop) a very merry “ride directly into a ditch”.

Everything was going so amazingly well today, and then I just had a gummy candy rip out an old filling. 🫠 I was having a pretty good run with not having bullshit happen to my teeth for the past 6 months or so, guess the counter is back to 0.

I got that dog in me (I’m scared of the doorbell)

In hindsight, perhaps watching and crying my eyes out at The Wild Robot the night before an eye doctor appointment, that I now have to attend with swollen eyes, was not the wisest decision. The movie was incredible though.

Finally able to get back to trivia tonight, and I’m grateful that my TikTok brain rot and knowledge of US history entirely from Day of the Tentacle came in handy.

One of my old classmates from Fashion Marketing messaged me today asking if I need an intern, thinking I actually have a business when I’m still a student, so I guess I’m clear to start my own Kramerica Industries now??

Finally did the Raphael battle in Baldur’s Gate 3 last night, and of COURSE the devil is an embarrassingly extra theatre kid.

I feel so deeply that the Super Bowl is none of my business

Today I get to spend the whole day working on my cosplay for Emerald City Comic Con, in a way that I haven’t since 2019. It feels really wonderful to get back into immersing myself in a hobby that’s brought me so much joy.

Squashed down my body horror squeamishness and finally watched The Substance tonight, and I’ve never had a movie, let alone a horror movie, fill me with so many Big Feelings About The Female Experience before.

Since hydro bills spike in the winter if we use baseboard heating, we’re trying to tough out the winter by heating with our fireplace, which is covered by our strata fees. This has me feeling very medieval during this cold snap, retreating to the hearth when the outer rooms get too cold.

I’ve been trying to find reference of the late 2000s/early 2010s fashion style featured in 30 Rock, like layered tanks worn with long cardigans and jeans, and it’s distressing to see the style of my mid-20s completely unrepresented online. Am I going to have to single-handedly bring back layers??

get her what she wants this valentines

Just sealed some idiot within my crystal

I am nearly 40 years old, a whole-ass married woman with a mortgage, and I’m spiraling because I had to email an instructor for an extension on an assignment because my couture final is taking so long and she hasn’t emailed back to say it’s okay. That high schooler feeling never leaves you. 🫠

As my husband and I wait on the edge of our seats for Nine Inch Nails tickets, one of the shows I’ve dreamed of seeing since I was a teenager, I wish all ticket scalpers a very merry “surprise norovirus while trapped in their car in gridlock traffic”.

I’m ignoring and deleting, but as I’m actively working my fingers to the bone in fashion school, the urge to rip this fucking lazy asshole to shreds is overwhelming.

my wife got a weighted exercise vest, which is basically a series of criss-crossing connected straps surrounding her shoulders/chest/back, covered in little pouches that hold the weights. at long last, i have achieved my teenage dream of dating a Rob Liefeld character

Good strangers ✨

I accidentally opened a miccostumes ad on IG, and oh boy, I can both acknowledge that not everyone has the ability or resources to make a costume themselves, but $60 for a full multi-piece costume also gives me the same ick that Shein does.

This term I decided to take Costume for TV and Film instead of another patternmaking course, and oops, I think I might have found something I could be really good at AND somehow might also utilize my Excel knowledge and detailed note taking from my past career.

Gritty continues to be a real one
