hey hey hey guess what! I was hospitalized around this time in May in 2014 for anorexia nervosa. I spent two weeks in the hospital and then three weeks in an inpatient program. I struggled with anorexia through high school and college and returned to restrictive eating multiple times. Food for the longest time wasn't safe. It's something I thought about day in and day out and it brought me a huge amount of anxiety and distress.

It's been a decade since I was hospitalized. I've come a long way since then and I'm proud to say that food isn't something I'm afraid of anymore. For four years now I haven't restricted or done any of my anorexic habits. There are still things that trigger that ED feeling, and I think there always will be, but I haven't felt the need to listen to it. I eat what I want, when I want, without any guilt or fear. This is something that would have been unimaginable to 2014 me. I've come so far. I'm so relived to be able to find joy in food again. I'm really proud!

One of the things I really love about Pat's character is the way that in both the episodes that centre him (1x3 - Happy Death Day and 4x7 - It's Behind You) focus on the way that Pat is honoured and loved through Daley and the rest of his family. We see a lot of instances throughout the show of that being a father is a core part of Pat's personality, and by putting an emphasis on the ways that Pat lives on through his family the show further highlights this. Daley seems to show this the most, which is not that surprising given Carol was cheating on Pat for most of the marriage. The fact that they all visit Button House on Pat's death day and the way Daley mimics his dad in the home video is genuinely so heartwrenchingly beautiful, and I love it so much. It is so fitting for the character, and a really beautiful way to explore Pat's past!

What is your most embarrassing story? Full details?

In highschool, my mom had a light blue mini cooper, but my dad did most of the driving to pick me up from functions. I was at a part with friends, back when we lived in England, and it was about time for me to head out and be picked up by my dad.

He was fairly patient but started calling me repeatedly because I was very slow moving and caught up with my friends. Finally, I left and headed to the mini! I opened the passenger door, ignored his call, got inside and sat down, and said, "You don't have to keep calling me!"

"I didn't call you?!" an old English woman replied.

2023 retrospective a week late

i started the year by leaving north america for the first time—to visit montenegro and albania! gorgeous places, delicious food, cool venetian architecture, and of course @charleslovemustdie who is just as delightful in person and whose family makes the BEST pomegranate juice. my layover was also in istanbul so i got to see the black sea!

in march i visited @goalofthecentury in aotearoa and we road tripped around the north island, from auckland to waihau bay to taupō then on to wellington, for about 18 hours total of driving. first time in the southern hemisphere and first time driving on the left side of the road; it was terrifying at first but aotearoa has some of the most well-maintained highways i've ever driven on. it was one of the greenest places i've ever seen, with the nicest people. what a beautiful place.

in the spring semester i took a class i've been wanting to take since before i even applied for my university: gender and sexuality in the horror film. it was everything i'd hoped it could be and more; the professor was funny and passionate and watching the movies as a class was amazing, and the readings were fascinating!!

my partner visited me in texas in may... 😳

got engaged

my partner visited again in october/november, this time for just over 3 weeks. turns out we really like living together :)

i got my first full-time job!! it made the end of the semester hell on earth and this semester will be similar but it's SO nice to be making enough money that i'm not stressed all the time. i also got the call offering me the job the week of my birthday, with my partner and my brother there :') what a nice moment.

had a surprisingly lovely christmas. very laid back and i was able to get my mom and siblings nice gifts for once <3

randomly remembered the fandom wide disappointment after mister impossible came out and started laughing bc what was that even about. every single post i saw from somebody who didn't like the book was like 'but what about adam' and don't get me wrong i love adam he's my favourite but also why did people expect him to be there? he is not the main character of the trilogy. ronan and hennessy are. but then again there were also some people on the other end of the spectrum who were like 'oh but the book totally sufered middle book syndrome and the plot didn't progress at all in a meaningful way, adam's two minute appearance was the only saving grace' and my dudes. my guys. what

i love having frozen berries in the winter and it feels like the height of modern luxury to bite into the flavour of summer in the dead of the winter. when i was a kid i had a winter where i had a box of frozen strawberries i lightly defrosted in the microwave for an after school snack every single day. i set up the coffee table in front of the tc and sat on a cushion and watched der alte whlle eating my strawberries ...

I was able to stop in dc on vacation about a month and a half ago and man I wish I could've spent more time there. it was 90° and I was wearing 3 layers of clothes I couldn't change out of for 4 and a half hours. but it was awesome

I'm trying to plan a longer trip with my friends for my birthday in december when it'll be colder

(I do have a vague worry I looked a bit too suspicious walking around the fbi building for an hour in the middle of the summer wearing 2 jackets, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, taking about 40 pictures from every angle I could get, but hopefully they know I just like the x files way too much)

I can't believe they made the building from the x files into a real thing wow. wow

La Follia d'amore from Kirby Star Allies OST my beloved

ooh queer confessionals lets go.

i am friends with a VERY FUCKING HOT trans guy and we dated for a short while before he came out as a man. however, we broke up amicably because neither of us had any like. actual passion within the relationship and it just.. wasnt working. which in retrospect was DEFINITELY related to pre-transition depression.

but now that hes out hes like. SO much happier and more expressive its INSANE. i feel like im meeting him again actually this time and i feel SO FUCKING attracted to him?? i am trying SO HARD to flirt however. hes absurdly oblivious. he isnt even BLOWING ME OFF, im autistic so ive checked with our close friends and their just like "nope, i know his signals and he genuinely hasnt noticed shit."

which is very very funny to me. considering we MADE OUT WITH FUCKING AMAZING PASSION for AN HOUR STRAIGHT LIKE. LAST MONTH. and we HAVENT ACTUALLY DISCUSSED IT SINCE. so UH, WISH ME LUCK???

oh my god good luck anon
