OutofBread;

This morning I received the news that an incredibly close friend of mine passed away. He was basically like a brother to me and my husband. We used to joke about him being our fat Mexican son because we were that close to each other.

I'm probably going to be a little spotty on activity, and if I am here, it's gonna be comfort threads to distract myself from the grief occasionally. I'm hurting. I'm not as bad as I was this morning, but I'm still having pockets of crying hitting me here and there because I was that close to him.

I know some people are probably going to comment that I should probably take time off from the internet and roleplaying, but this is one of my only outlets and the place I come to get away from other real life stresses. I thank you all for all over your concern and support ahead of time. You all mean so much to me. Thank you all!

The “I am a god” ending….you hated him so much that you turned him fully against his original purpose…..a reflection on perception….

feel like a teenage girl writing a vent post on my blog, but i just feel so lonely and stupid and like someone who doesn't exist unless i'm in other people's line of sight. and on top of that i feel so depressed and unable to do anything other than the basic tenets of living it's like i'm moving through molasses. scratch that the only thing i want to do is write my dumb little fanfiction and that's just a part of me that i don't share with most anyone so it feels like i'm about to explode with how much i don't share with my friends in this dumb town. i just miss my best friend and my dog and my sister and not feeling like i have to perform all the time.

and i hate that i'm so hung up on some dumbass boy who has been nothing but RUDE to me and i feel so obsessive-compulsive over him and it's making me feel totally out of control and i know i'm just embarrassing myself and freaking him out. like legitimately this is all pe/eta mell/ark's fault, and even THAT'S so so so humiliating

and also i baked you cookies for your birthday and you couldn't even invite me to your dumb birthday brunch like that hurt my feelings so much like why did i do that that was the first time i actually felt like drinking to numb my sadness

i'm just going through the silliest things as a woman in her mid-twenties like this should've been done in high school jesus christ.

// Half way through my final shift here before I move out to regional and become a cowboy, but I probably won't get a lot of writing done because I'm still mad about accidentally deleting an entire chapter of my fic and having to rewrite it all over again and it not being the exact same as it was 😡 and I couldn't recover it because I was stupid and saved over it and didn't have a backup turned in.

ANYWAY! After today I have 3 weeks off! Aside from moving, I'll hopefully be able to annoy you all with LepLep shenanigans ☺️

now please imagine nat's super hell but it's just a montage of her going to tinder dates, all of them ending on terrible awful notes and she's reporting all of this to her besties as if it wasn't the most embarrassing thing in the world
