EuroTrip 2019 Part Seven: Welcome To Bucharest! 🇷🇴
As I said goodnight to Matûś and Kristína just after 11 P.M., we figured out that we would go to the bus station for 6:45 A.M. tomorrow. As I laid on my bed, my mind couldn’t settle down and at one point I just sat on the floor, staring at the wall. A few tears started to fall down my cheek, but I wasn’t particular sad.
When meeting people for the first time after knowing them for so long online, its a bonding experience meeting in real life. It’s that next step from being “online friends” to “real life fiends”. Going to cafes or sitting at home just talking, getting to know the true person in person is something magical, something special. Meeting new friends along the journey is beautiful too, along with experiencing new events makes you wish it will never end. It’s always tough to say “see you later”, and I’ve said this to every person I’ve met on my travels.
“Goodbye sounds like it’s the ending, but see you later promises I’ll be back”.
For each person I’ve met I’ve said that after spending time with each other, once we go back to reality it’s a challenge. You are living on this high of being with this new person and spending days with them, and all of a sudden they are not there. To get through this, it’s best to prepare for this lull and to find something to look forward to each day.
Writing this at 1:30 A.M. means that I won’t get too much sleep tonight, but this is part of traveling. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, there will be emotional times when going to the next stop. But the key part of this is “to the next stop”, there will be someone just as excited to meet up. It’s a quick turnaround from “see you later” to “nice to meet you”, but it’s the ups and downs of traveling.
To everyone who I’ve met over the past few days, it’s been an honour, and I can’t wait for the next adventure we have together.
Kristina and I left this morning at 6:20 A.M., and after a brisk speed walk to the bus stop, we were on the way. I got to the bus early and after giving each other a hug, it was time to head to Vienna.
Getting to the airport at 7:30 A.M., I had plenty of time to kill since my flight to Bucharest wasn’t until 10:10 A.M.. After getting a croissant from a bakery in the airport, I sat at the gate and waited. It was weird because normally you would go through security first then go to your gate, but in Vienna it was opposite.
We landed at 12:50 P.M., a few minutes late but by the time we got off the plane it was closer to 1:10 P.M. It was a bit wet outside, so I was glad to be going straight to a bus.
I had to wait for the 780 bus that would take me right to the train station, but it was almost 2 P.M. before it even arrived. I was meeting up with my friend Denisa who would be my tour guide for the next few days, and her classes were finished at 2 P.M.. There were no good wifi connections so I had to text message her saying I’m just leaving now.
I made it to the north station by 2:45 P.M., and met with Denisa at 3:10 P.M.. It was so great to finally meet her, we’ve been talking a lot for a year now. We walked around for a little bit, trying to figure out where my hotel was but eventually we found it.
From there we went to one of the bigger shopping malls to get traditional Romanian food. The mall we went to was called “AFI Palace” and it was the most impressive mall I’ve seen. They had two levels but the mall was humongous, and it even had a small roller coaster and a NHL size rink inside.
We went to this grocery store which sold some traditional Romanian foods, so of course I had to try them. We got some rice which had fish and some veggies in it, “Sarmale” which was mince meat with spices in a cabbage leaf, then also tried “Mămăligă”. It is made from boiled cornmeal, which was very thick and filling, each dish was so good. To wash it down, I had some Romanian cider called “Dacíc”, which we had blackberry and strawberry.
We walked around the grocery store drinking these which was normal here, but back home you’d get kicked out immediately. After exploring inside the mall, we took our adventure outside and around Bucharest.
The main thing I wanted to see was the parliament building, which is the biggest in Europe and second in the world (pentagon in USA). It was such a beautiful building with the communist architecture to it, but all the buildings surrounded it did too.
Across the street was the “Piata Constitutiei” or constitutional square, with the Minister of Justice across the street. Seeing this amazing buildings was just eye opening, I never realized this about Romania.
We found our way to Old town, which like most Old Towns they have cobblestone roads and just foot traffic. We saw the “Palatul Cec” which is headquarters of CEC banning, National bank of Romania
and “Banca Comercială Română”. There was also the “Stavropoleos Monastery” which was a Eastern Orthodox monastery for nuns in central Bucharest.
After exploring this part of the city, we were both hungry so we went to a different grocery store the size of 3 Walmart’s and bought more traditional foods. We also bought European chocolate because why not?
We bought a thing called “Pui A La Basque”, which was chicken with different veggies in it like cabbage, tomato and onion. For dessert we bought the most famous dessert called “Savarina”, which was a small palm-sized moist cake with whipped cream and strawberry jam on top. It was sooooooo good!
I walked Denisa back to her dorm apartment just down the road, and after getting back at midnight it was time to have some downtime.
Day one in Romania, check.
P.s. 89.6% of Romanian women are super attractive, may find my future wife here.
More to come...

March 22: Q & A
Holy buckets, based on the amount of food questions I’ve gotten, I will make an entire post dedicated to food in the very near future. Here’s some of my favorite questions!
(This week we went to a Mexican restaurant where Hayes, Kameron, and I bought 3 burgers, 2 tacos, a nachos plate, a pizza, and a piece of cake. When Luther is paying, we go all in.)
“I have a question: how are you affording all this stuff?” -Tracy Jaquette
This is a very very very valid question. To be completely honest, I’m mainly using my mom and dad’s credit card and they get mailed the bill (ha- only half joking!). My family and I have been saving for this experience pretty much my entire life, as going abroad has never been a “maybe/maybe not” for me but a “definitely- I want that” type of deal. In addition to saving, my extended family have been chipping in by helping to purchase little travel-needs, weekend excursions off the island, and my flights to and from America. Luther supports me greatly in that all of my scholarships transferred over with me so the comprehensive program fee is my remaining Luther tuition (after financial aid is added) + $1000 dollars (I’m on my own for my flights and spending money beyond a $70 weekly food stipend Luther gives me). Finally, I’ve been stupidly frugal while here. To fly around Europe is cheap (I spent about 30 euro to get to Greece and back), when traveling I stay in hostels (dorm-like hotels with many beds and few amenities) and pack many of my meals/make my meals in the flats. I always ask for student discounts and kids meals when I’m out. Every euro counts!
“Quality of the classes. I get that there’s in class and out of class education going on. It sounds as though the benefits are split 85:15 with out of class being the most helpful.” -Steve Woods
“Is the percentage of religious participation as low as the rest of Europe?” -Steve Woods
“Is there much of an environmental ethic? Parks, clean waters, no litter, etc. (Greece was horrible for litter and polluted harbors.)” -Steve Woods
These questions are actually all related! Out of class time is certainly beneficial but I would say in terms of education, it’s more of a 60/40 split (out of class is still more beneficial, but not that much of a split). I’m taking two courses on Catholicism (For those in Malta who do practice religion, they’re more than likely Catholic. With a cultural history and identity so ingrained with Catholicism, it helps to have a basic understanding of the religion), a Maltese contemporary ethics class (we examine ethical issues facing the country including religious issues, welfare systems, healthcare, immigration, business, diversity, etc...), and finally a history course (we literally started with the cavemen and are currently working our way through the medieval period). So because of these classes, I am better able to understand the layout of the island, the people, and I am able to answer your other questions!
According to our ethics course, in the 70′s church attendance was at 84%, and steadily decreased to 43% by the early 2000′s. This is due to a political shift in the 1970′s that pretty much is the equivalent to our “Separation of Church and State”. After a long staunchly Catholic history, the passage of laws (decriminalisation of homosexuality & adultery, laws based on gender, divorce, lgbtq, womens rights, etc) by a non-Catholic government in addition to how interconnected Malta has become with the rest of the world (which consequently has made people more outspoken and opinionated on issues of morality) are said to be the main reasons that Maltese church attendance has dropped.
In terms of environmental ethics, before Malta’s 2004 entrance to the European Union, it had outlawed plastic bottles and established an extensive glass recycling program. However when joining the EU, they had to abandon their anti-plastic ways for legal reasons but many of the products on the island still come in recyclable glass bottles. The streets are messy but that could just be attributed to the waste removal system as well as the fact that this is a city. Products on the shelves are marked if they’re bio-friendly. Compared to other cities, it seems to really be progressive overall. It’s certainly not perfect and there is a hefty amount of trash on the streets.
“Any weird animal encounters?” -Steve Woods
I took my shoes off last night to move a big crab.
(I almost lost a toe to this big guy because I took my shoes off. What this picture doesn’t show is my peers yelling at me telling me to run away as the crab was in attack mode)
“What is one thing you're gonna miss most when you are back in the States?” -Nam Nguyen
“If you could never go back, what would you miss the most?” -Natalie Hackbarth
This was a tough question to answer that had me stumped but I’ve decided that I can not capture with words what it is that I am going to miss most. I am simply going to miss Malta. If I had to choose, I will miss the walking the most. I am definitely going to miss the necessity of walking everywhere, the weather that allows the walking, the people, families, and dogs I see when I’m walking, and the adventures I embark on each time I walk out of the flat door. The large lots and spread out cities in America do not compare to the tightly condensed and claustrophobic atmosphere I have learned to love here in Malta. Not having Walmart or Target at my fingertips can be frustrating, but the adventures I’ve gone on in search of a single item are valuable and exciting and I certainly will miss that part of Malta.
“Where is Gort?” -Joshua Lutz
Here, enjoying the sunshine.
(Gort, my trusty sloth aquired on my Mission Trips summer job is here with me in Malta, enjoying the wine culture as much as I am!)
“The real question: what's your average Fitbit score?” -Liesl Allen
Painfully high.
(These are averages- my personal record while in Malta was a Sunday in February when I got 35,000 steps)
“Favorite phrase to spout in Maltese...” -Margo Nelson
“Mela”. A Maltese word that means: whatever, yes, no, maybe, sure, okay, although, alright, therefore, um, but, so, then, well (etc). We hear it between every word in Maltese conversation.
“Have you gotten lost in Malta yet, and if so, how did you find your way? (idk i'm just a sucker for mildly embarrassing stories)” -Lexa Krug
Girl I get lost every single fricken day. The best moments are when I finally swallow my pride and admit to my companions that I have no clue where I am and they inform me that we are a block away from the flat (sigh).
“Oddest encounter with a boy human.” -Avery Mossman
“You find yourself a nice Maltan boy?” -Chris Kim
There are no men on this island. I haven’t seen a single male in 3 months. What’s a boy?
“To someone going on this trip next year, what is one useful piece of advice you would give me?” -Wyatt Anians
To take the words of StoryPeople author & Decorah artist, Brian Andreas, “Say yes. Whatever it is, say yes with your whole heart & simple as it sounds, that’s all the excuse life needs to grab you by the hands & start to dance.” Let life take your hands. Do everything you thought you never would. When someone asks you to go to the new lebanese grill, get happy hour drinks, go out for St. Patricks day, whatever- just say yes. Go with it, dude. Message me when you start packing (slippers are a must. As is stick deodorant).
(I said “yes” to hitting the town during St. Patty’s day and ended up in the midst of a massive street party- much larger than I ever anticipated. I had so much fun though!)
“If your trip to Malta was a reality show what would your tagline be and what would your theme song be?” -Natalie Hackbarth
My tagline, “Sorry, I was napping.”
My theme song would probably just be an array of screaming.
“What, if anything, have you learned about yourself while there?” -Chloe Grube
I thought I was strong before this, but this has given me a whole new resilience I never knew I had. I’ve survived every one of my worst days. I know my posts make it seem like I’m having the time of my life, but there are ups and downs. Our group has quite a bit of interpersonal drama, I miss my friends and family painfully, and I haven’t gotten any decent alone time in about three months. This is an incredibly challenging and stressful adventure but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
(This is my roomie, Maddie. She’s been an amazing friend and source of comfort to me when things get rough)
“What is one highlight of the experience?” -Joan Francois
One highlight would certainly be Rome. Rome was a dream come true and exactly what I was expecting from this trip. It opened my eyes to a new culture and I got to see the things I’ve been dreaming about. Additionally, I had a lot of very very very good food.
(just look at me cheesing in The Colosseum!!!!)
Thanks for your support and all of the awesome questions- Some remained unanswered as you guys had some really tough ones and this was already a really long post! On Friday, I embark on an adventure to England all by myself- yes, two days after a terrorist attack. Yes, I am going to London, yes, I am going to the location of the attack, and yes, I’m scared. However, I know the risk of getting hurt is small and I will not let my fears hold me back from exploring the world. That being said, send your prayers, good vibes, etc my direction as I travel.

• It sounds like something on a very trite T-shirt, but life is what happens. – Nigella Lawson

And I’m just excited to be part of this whole club and organisation and bringing as much success to it as possible. – Asmir Begovic

• Jay-Z’s a guy that wears the Che Guevara t-shirt and he doesn’t realize Che Guevara was a racist. Che Guevara was a murderer and a killer. So look, he’s an entertainer, obviously.

• Jesus said that they will know we are Christians – not by our bumper stickers and T-shirts – but by our love. – Shane Claiborne
• Kate Moss. She looks good in anything. She would look good in one of your t-shirts, in her t-shirt, in a man’s suit, in a huge gown. She looks amazing naked. She even makes nude look stylish. That, to me, is a style icon. She could put a barrel on and it would be some sort of statement. – Justin Timberlake
• Let us find the dam snack bar, Zoe said. “We should eat while we can.” Grover cracked a smile. “The dam snack bar?” Zoe blinked. “Yes. What is funny?” “Nothing,” Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. “I could use some dam French fries.” Even Thalia smiled at that. “And I need to use the dam restroom.”… I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us “I do not understand.” “I want to use the dam water fountain,” Grover said. “And…” Thalia tried to catch her breath. “I want to buy a dam T-shirt.” – Rick Riordan
• Looking at the elementary schoolers in their colorful T-shirts from various day camps, Percy felt a twinge of sadness.

These kids had no idea just how crazy a summer camp could be. – Rick Riordan

You know that? They’re fantastic! My boobs are amazing. – Sarah Dessen

• On the board was a list of words and phrases which her mother considered not suitable for use in college T-shirt design. She had been asked about them so often that in the end she had started a blacklist of banned words to which everyone could refer. Every time someone thought of a new one, she unflinchingly wrote it down… Rose read through the list, and turned back to her letter. These are the words I learned to spell in Mummy’s art class today, she wrote, and sighed a little as she began the tedious job of copying from the board. – Hilary McKay
• On the morning in question, she wore white shorts and a pink T-shirt that featured a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. It is difficult to explain how awesome I found this T-shirt at the time. – John Green
• One of my favorite facts about Jason [Benjamin] is that he collects shirts from tattoo parlors. He has a bunch of tattoo parlor T-shirts, but no tattoos. And then he wears, like, vans and jeans.

I should think about the whole performance.” That’s when I put the 1 in my name and started dressing for the occasion. – Le1f

• Piper rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered—all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch. Frank’s Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement.

• ‘Princess’ is a good word, as is ‘girlish’, ‘pixie-like’ and all these other things. I personally find it a bit boring, it’s all been done before. The amount of times you read reviews of bands and it’s an all-girl four-piece, and they talk about what the women are wearing… you’ll never read a review that’s like: “Male singer Thom Yorke, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans…” You would never read that about a man. – Lauren Mayberry

• Rowdy, hopped-up college kids pass us in an endless, noisy blur like they’re being mass produced or squeezed out of a tube – guys skulking in their T-shirts and cargo shorts, girls in low-slung jeans and flip-flops, pimples and breasts and tattoos and lipstick and legs and bra straps, and cigarettes; a colorful, sexy melange. I feel old and tired and I just want to be them again, want to be young and stupid, filled with angst and attitude and unbridled lust. Can I have a do-over, please? I swear to God I’ll make a real go of it this time. – Jonathan Tropper
• Rule number one of anime,” Simon said. He sat propped up against a pile of pillows at the foot of his bed, a bag of potato chips in one hand and the TV remote in the other.

• Sejal had not thought of her home, or of India as a whole, as cool. She was dimly aware, however, of a white Westerner habit of wearing other cultures like T-shirts—the sticker bindis on club kids, sindoor in the hair of an unmarried pop star, Hindi characters inked carelessly on tight tank tops and pale flesh. She knew Americans liked to flash a little Indian or Japanese or African. They were always looking for a little pepper to put in their dish. – Adam Rex

• Speaking of stage freight. I was terrified! It was in NOLA at an all ages show. I was wearing Jeans, a Van Halen t-shirt, and a bandana on my neck. Once I gripped that microphone stand, I did not let go! I plugged my microphone into a guitar FX pedal. Then at the end of the a Black Sabbath song we were covering, I hit the guitar pedal. It was horrific! – Phil Anselmo
• Start your own revolution, cut out the middleman In a perfect world we’d all sing in tune But this is reality so give me some room So join the struggle while you may The Revolution is just a t-shirt away – Billy Bragg

• The average age in the U.S. is now thirty-three, whereas Mexico gets younger and younger, retreats deeper and deeper into adolescence. Mexico is fifteen.

• The last time I wore an animal hide; but this time I settled for this.” Eric had been wearing a long trench coat. Now he threw it off dramatically, and I could only stand and stare. Normally, Eric was a blue-jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy. Tonight, he wore a pink tank top and Lycra leggings[…]They were pink and aqua, like the swirls down the side of Jason’s truck. – Charlaine Harris
• The paparazzi were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse. I would wear the same outfit every time – a different T-shirt underneath, but I’d wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn’t see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there’s nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated. – Daniel Radcliffe

It’s very strange, but it’s really exciting. – Lily Collins

• The worst is when men try too hard, because it’s not very masculine. Your outfit has to look like ‘Oh, I just grabbed that.’ Not too calculated. Jeans, a t-shirt: the simpler the better. – Eva Green

• There are times when you need to step back and realize that movie studios today are not necessarily the same things that they were many years ago.

• Vaclav Havel was a really popular leader. He couldn’t believe that he was really there. I mean, he still dressed in black T-shirts and jeans and was very kind of ’60s. And he began to realize the seriousness of it. And he knew how to strategize. And he had a very keen political sense, but he didn’t want to be like the old communist leaders. – Judy Woodruff
• Very quietly, I heard a voice in my ear.It said, in a weird, cheesy, right-out-of-one-of-my-mother’s-novels way, “Ah. Wemeet again.” I turned my head, just slightly, and right there, practically on top of me, was theguy from the car dealership.

• We don’t have any changes in the movie [Pineapple Express] and so picking the right outfit was fairly important.

It’s a kitten sitting in a shark’s mouth, but he’s happy about it. – Seth Rogen
• We having nothing to fear but fear itself. That, and maybe getting mugged by someone wearing a “No Fear” t-shirt. – Lev L. Spiro
• We stink more of the world than we stink of sack cloth and ashes. A lot of contemporary churches today would feel more at home in a movie house rather than in a house of prayer, more afraid of holy living than of sinning, know more about money than magnifying Christ in our bodies. It is so compromised that holiness and living a sin-free life is heresy to the modern church. The modern church is, quite simply, just the world with a Christian T-shirt on! – Nicky Cruz

And my boyfriend’s a vampire so I know a lot about their kind.” Jayden shrinks back from me, wide-eyed. “No, no. He’s one of the good ones. Not all vampires are evil,” I assure him. “So…you’re dating…Edward Cullen.” “Sure, if you have to relate it all to a Stephenie Meyer book,” I grudgingly agree. “But don’t say that to Magnus’s face. He’s a card-carrying member of Team Jacob. Even has the T-shirt. – Mari Mancusi

• When I’m wandering around the Himalayas, most of the people that I see are Westerners from Germany, California, or the Netherlands, who are wearing sandals, Indian smocks, and are in search of enlightenment, antiquity, peace, and all the things they can’t get in the west. Most of the people they meet are Nepali villagers in Lee jeans, Reeboks, and Madonna T-shirts who are looking for the paradise that they associate with Los Angeles – a paradise of material prosperity and abundance. – Pico Iyer
• When our mothers are alive and healthy, they do extraordinary things… like the mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who marched in Argentinean plazas, defying the military junta dictatorship and demanding the whereabouts of their abducted children… or the Liberian mothers who faced down civil war armed only with T-shirts and courage. – Liya Kebede

• Willow nestled against him. He smoothed her long hair down the back of her T-shirt, feeling its softness. In a few moments she fell asleep again, her breathing warm and regular against his chest. Alex kissed her head, his arms tightening around her. As he drifted back to sleep himself, he saw a brief flash of the thousands of angels streaming in, but right then it seemed distant, almost unimportant. The only thing that mattered was that he was lying in a bed holding Willow, their bare legs entwined. It was all he wanted to do for the rest of his life. – L.A. Weatherly
• With the first kid, you micromanage it, making sure there’s no hair out of place when it goes off to school.

Clark
• Women show off their personality and character through accessories more than with low-cut shirts and skirts with huge slits. – Sarah Lafleur
• Worldwide, most people dress more casually these days, don’t they? They have done for the last 20 or 30 years, I suppose.

Whereas, even in my lifetime, even up to the early-’70s, there was still that thing of dressing up. – Paul Weller

• You might be a redneck if your favorite T-shirt is offensive in thirteen states. – Jeff Foxworthy

• Is it to be imagined … that women were made for no other purpose than to fabricate sweetmeats and gingerbread, construct shirts, darn stockings, and become mothers of possible presidents?

• It seems women are expected to be so much more than men, which means we have to work that much harder. We’re the ones under the microscope. We’re expected to sound perfect.

And I’m just excited to be part of this whole club and organisation and bringing as much success to it as possible. – Asmir Begovic

• Jay-Z’s a guy that wears the Che Guevara t-shirt and he doesn’t realize Che Guevara was a racist. Che Guevara was a murderer and a killer. So look, he’s an entertainer, obviously.

• Jesus said that they will know we are Christians – not by our bumper stickers and T-shirts – but by our love. – Shane Claiborne
• Kate Moss. She looks good in anything. She would look good in one of your t-shirts, in her t-shirt, in a man’s suit, in a huge gown. She looks amazing naked. She even makes nude look stylish. That, to me, is a style icon. She could put a barrel on and it would be some sort of statement. – Justin Timberlake
• Let us find the dam snack bar, Zoe said. “We should eat while we can.” Grover cracked a smile. “The dam snack bar?” Zoe blinked. “Yes. What is funny?” “Nothing,” Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. “I could use some dam French fries.” Even Thalia smiled at that. “And I need to use the dam restroom.”… I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us “I do not understand.” “I want to use the dam water fountain,” Grover said. “And…” Thalia tried to catch her breath. “I want to buy a dam T-shirt.” – Rick Riordan
• Looking at the elementary schoolers in their colorful T-shirts from various day camps, Percy felt a twinge of sadness.

These kids had no idea just how crazy a summer camp could be. – Rick Riordan

• On the board was a list of words and phrases which her mother considered not suitable for use in college T-shirt design. She had been asked about them so often that in the end she had started a blacklist of banned words to which everyone could refer. Every time someone thought of a new one, she unflinchingly wrote it down… Rose read through the list, and turned back to her letter. These are the words I learned to spell in Mummy’s art class today, she wrote, and sighed a little as she began the tedious job of copying from the board. – Hilary McKay

• Piper rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered—all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch. Frank’s Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement.

• ‘Princess’ is a good word, as is ‘girlish’, ‘pixie-like’ and all these other things. I personally find it a bit boring, it’s all been done before.

I feel old and tired and I just want to be them again, want to be young and stupid, filled with angst and attitude and unbridled lust. Can I have a do-over, please? I swear to God I’ll make a real go of it this time. – Jonathan Tropper
• Rule number one of anime,” Simon said. He sat propped up against a pile of pillows at the foot of his bed, a bag of potato chips in one hand and the TV remote in the other.

• Sejal had not thought of her home, or of India as a whole, as cool. She was dimly aware, however, of a white Westerner habit of wearing other cultures like T-shirts—the sticker bindis on club kids, sindoor in the hair of an unmarried pop star, Hindi characters inked carelessly on tight tank tops and pale flesh. She knew Americans liked to flash a little Indian or Japanese or African. They were always looking for a little pepper to put in their dish. – Adam Rex

• Speaking of stage freight. I was terrified! It was in NOLA at an all ages show. I was wearing Jeans, a Van Halen t-shirt, and a bandana on my neck. Once I gripped that microphone stand, I did not let go! I plugged my microphone into a guitar FX pedal. Then at the end of the a Black Sabbath song we were covering, I hit the guitar pedal. It was horrific! – Phil Anselmo

• The last time I wore an animal hide; but this time I settled for this.” Eric had been wearing a long trench coat. Now he threw it off dramatically, and I could only stand and stare. Normally, Eric was a blue-jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy. Tonight, he wore a pink tank top and Lycra leggings[…]They were pink and aqua, like the swirls down the side of Jason’s truck. – Charlaine Harris
• The paparazzi were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse. I would wear the same outfit every time – a different T-shirt underneath, but I’d wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn’t see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there’s nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated. – Daniel Radcliffe

It’s very strange, but it’s really exciting. – Lily Collins

• There are times when you need to step back and realize that movie studios today are not necessarily the same things that they were many years ago.

• Vaclav Havel was a really popular leader. He couldn’t believe that he was really there. I mean, he still dressed in black T-shirts and jeans and was very kind of ’60s. And he began to realize the seriousness of it. And he knew how to strategize. And he had a very keen political sense, but he didn’t want to be like the old communist leaders. – Judy Woodruff
• Very quietly, I heard a voice in my ear.It said, in a weird, cheesy, right-out-of-one-of-my-mother’s-novels way, “Ah. Wemeet again.” I turned my head, just slightly, and right there, practically on top of me, was theguy from the car dealership.

• We having nothing to fear but fear itself. That, and maybe getting mugged by someone wearing a “No Fear” t-shirt. – Lev L. Spiro
• We stink more of the world than we stink of sack cloth and ashes. A lot of contemporary churches today would feel more at home in a movie house rather than in a house of prayer, more afraid of holy living than of sinning, know more about money than magnifying Christ in our bodies. It is so compromised that holiness and living a sin-free life is heresy to the modern church. The modern church is, quite simply, just the world with a Christian T-shirt on! – Nicky Cruz

And my boyfriend’s a vampire so I know a lot about their kind.” Jayden shrinks back from me, wide-eyed. “No, no. He’s one of the good ones. Not all vampires are evil,” I assure him. “So…you’re dating…Edward Cullen.” “Sure, if you have to relate it all to a Stephenie Meyer book,” I grudgingly agree. “But don’t say that to Magnus’s face. He’s a card-carrying member of Team Jacob. Even has the T-shirt. – Mari Mancusi

• When I’m wandering around the Himalayas, most of the people that I see are Westerners from Germany, California, or the Netherlands, who are wearing sandals, Indian smocks, and are in search of enlightenment, antiquity, peace, and all the things they can’t get in the west. Most of the people they meet are Nepali villagers in Lee jeans, Reeboks, and Madonna T-shirts who are looking for the paradise that they associate with Los Angeles – a paradise of material prosperity and abundance. – Pico Iyer

• Willow nestled against him. He smoothed her long hair down the back of her T-shirt, feeling its softness. In a few moments she fell asleep again, her breathing warm and regular against his chest. Alex kissed her head, his arms tightening around her. As he drifted back to sleep himself, he saw a brief flash of the thousands of angels streaming in, but right then it seemed distant, almost unimportant. The only thing that mattered was that he was lying in a bed holding Willow, their bare legs entwined. It was all he wanted to do for the rest of his life. – L.A. Weatherly
• With the first kid, you micromanage it, making sure there’s no hair out of place when it goes off to school.

Clark
• Women show off their personality and character through accessories more than with low-cut shirts and skirts with huge slits. – Sarah Lafleur

Whereas, even in my lifetime, even up to the early-’70s, there was still that thing of dressing up. – Paul Weller

Love never changes. Nor does it eat, nor age, nor laugh, nor blink, It’s war. I’ve lived a life with many men who only ever use anger and joy to justify feeding and breeding constant war. Hate adapts and evolves. The difference between the two can seem blurry, but when the line between love and hate is stark, you’ll know. But you can’t always. That fantastical shit can’t exist. No, there’s a bunch of times where one must scream incoherently and without language to convey indescribable human emotions. Sometimes, that’s the only way to rid oneself of such feelings.
This right here is my personal masterpost and autobiography.
Even in the grim excesses and radically-different expressions of the human form, it is always just that- human. But though every human is human, not all humans are humane. What good is a human who only wants for themselves? What good is any thief or hoarder? That’s an unnatural human; a walking corpse designed by generations upon generations of class division and specific manufactured complacency in postmodernity.
In my story I encountered several fiends involved with thievery and acrimony. Why would anyone try to say there is a good thief? Where is the justification for mass destruction for brief momentary pleasure and profit? What justifications can someone possibly have for exploitation, mechanisation, and, again, general thievery imposed against the majority of humankind? Where’s the love in that? The rich will take and hoard all they can and make sure the needy and impoverished will die off, and that gives them their sickening feeling of love, which complacency then turns into the norm. Workers below are commanded “die off and shut up”. And I’m aware this is a tumblr post, so I trust you know that a plurality of folk receive such a message. I have, and perhaps you have too.
As I type this, I’m beginning to question how I should even say what I need to. Power is a strange thing. Having the ability to affect others’ actions is the definition I was given for it (as well as a confusion with it and Newtonian physics in my youth). The origins of where those in power come from often involves going through hundreds of years of violence. For example, stuff X is his. Why is it his? His great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather stole X from everyone else who had a say on it and had fewer qualms about using whatever means to get X. Now everyone agrees X is rightfully his when it almost always is obviously not. There’s a lot of powerful power analogies I could use, but I’ll keep this post spiritual.
Many will criticise, say, the Christian religion, due to the abhorrent, bastardly and genocidal ways with which they’ve gained and kept their power, particularly in Europe and the Americas. However, the history of early Christianity shows an absurd cabaret of many characters, some of whom I’d coöperate with, in another life. My favourite is Valentine. Why? Because he is a joke relic of history; a legend so cool that nobody ever decided to soberly (or accurately) figure out his or their life or lives. There were many Christians at the time with his name, and the stories people have of him/them are all over the place. Reading about ‘him’ is like looking into the files of a bunch of stoners who can never properly sort their shit, saying “yeah man this Valentine guy cured this old hag…or maybe... no she was like 18... anyway… and he, like, made them hear because they were deaf!” And then another guy says that the girl was blind and could then see, and that that particular guy wasn’t actually Valentine but possibly someone else (or maybe even 20 people; apparently it was a very popular name at the time).
An early memetic guy was he, who was such a courageous badass (or dumbass) that the stories don’t really have to make sense or be consistent- his character of a martyr helping Christians get Christian weddings during the time of illegal Christianity just sounds like the type of radical non-conformist that modern Christianity needs. He did what he felt was right and told Roman authority to fuck off. When Rome became Christian, the Christian became Roman. Rome was, of course, decadent. Thus became the Christian. The Roman elite had stolen Christianity from the poor and subverted it to justify later European atrocities for profit.
But the original idea is still there- where the weak can feel as safe and strong as the already powerful. Modern Christianity is such a watered-down, bigoted bore. What happened to those willing to behead or get beheaded for to fight against oppressive systems of power? Or of the teachings to men to gouge out their eyes so as to not sin against women? As someone who loves salty food, I must admit that modern Christians are not the Salt of the Earth, but rather the Grease of the Earth. Peanut Butter and such.
You could easily describe me as angry. Anger is a bit of a drug that can appear to try to assist in any and every given situation. Despite the many times I may have let my anger go too far, I don’t get bogged down in my regrets because of the outlandish and downright advantageous times where said anger has helped me deal with nasty people who hate general humanity and only crave destruction if and when it means they can profit. Many of these people use the Christian god to justify their own expansion. Nowadays the Christians and romantic, godless Pagans are both plebeians with the actual patricians now wealthier than ever; we fight and snatch what little we have from the claws of a pesky, greedy, and stubborn crab while said crab says it is handing out all it has. As if.
Valentine did likewise in the Roman Empire. He wanted to let others feel validated as they loved one another, to the death, and if he’d seen the church’s vast history of refusing to let others be themselves and love who they love, that he’d have been agitated at that. It makes you wonder if heaven is now filled with anti-Christian converts who collectively decided “fuck, we all fell for a scam!”
As you can tell, this is gonna be a long one. My story is profane but it’s the life I’ve lived. If you can’t already tell, I’m a bit unsure as to where to start. I don’t want people identifying me but I’ve never stood out. I’m neither tall nor short- 5′7″. I have green eyes, and I have i have dirty blond hair that’s thick yet soft. I indulged in henna in my youth; by age 6 I was a regular to having sleeves. I’ve personally never been one to dress fancy-like. For most of my childhood and adolescence I exclusively wore black, white, green, yellow, and red. One for each day of the work-week. These weren’t always worn in that order, but it was a tradition for me to wear them because I didn’t bother to look any different. Lazy, sure. But it’s not like you’re gonna come in from the screen and get me and tell me ‘I should’ve been more outgoing in my youth’. I was raised to not care about superficial stuff like that by my mom, Eunice
She died in 2007 from stomach cancer. My dad was already a mildly incessant depressant from a poor, sad family, so he never really got over her loss.
The Housing Market Crisis© the following year left my uncle, a financial business executive, completely broken and destitute. He lost a considerable fortune and could no longer to afford his home, rendering him unemployed and homeless. This meant he had to move in with my widowed father and my motherless self. I remember seeing a distinct change in his behaviour from him as he no longer treated corporate and government higher-ups with the same respect he once had; now heavily invested in organised economic ideas he’d dismissed in his youth. I was concerned but my dad was still far too sad to care. In the end it ended up being benign and incredibly beneficial.
I remember specifically having to point out to people which of them was which in my youth, due to their similar, slender, pale appearances with dense strawberry-blond hair and the same bright shade of blue eyes. My father, Yves, got many (ink) tattoos for my mom, but also for myself, his family, his love of art, mythology and more. He showed them to anyone who’d ask. My uncle, Wymer, wore heavier clothing to try to stand out but people would still mistake him for my dad being all covered up or what have you. He had to work at Walmart©, and when I told him to wear his fucking uniform out in public to differentiate him from my dad, he responded by growing a beard and never once shaving it. He also decided to never get tattooed whatsoever, and to bring books with him wherever he went because everyone in town knew Dad didn’t read a lot. The two together were altogether sad, angry, but nevertheless goofed.
I won’t lie, saying that line to him was rude, classist, and bitchy on my part, but in the end he had a righteous fuckin’ red bush on his face which covered his mouth and neck. He was stubborn like that- to make subtle reminders of others’ statements to him was always amongst his goals, and he really enjoyed that follicle expansion.
Their differences didn’t end there.
A big one was how extroverted Wymer was compared to his brother. Even around my mom, Dad was always shy, and he frequently put himself through a lot of feeling of self-disgust, self-hate, self-pity, remorse, regret, and seemingly infinite sorrow. He often made long visits to mom’s grave which only gave passerbys the look of a vacuumous void. He was the eldest child in his family, already in his late 50s. He plead hindsight to her early warning signs; saying he “should’ve known better.” I encouraged him to find someone new, but he never dated anyone ever again. In fact, only with the exception of when he got blitzed out of his mind on cocaine in 2010 Christchurch and demanded an aged sex worker, he never even wanted to fuck again. I actually spoke to her before she left our room; I forget her name, that youngblood, for she told me only once, but she told me some stories of the industry down there. She surprised me at the end of the night by saying he spent almost the entire time with her just asking questions about the problems related to said industry; having her nevertheless conclude him a “sadist”. The following morning, he found her again and invited her to brunch, eventually allowing her to stay with us the rest of the trip. She never took her word back on dad or gave us her name. She slept alone, and she got annoyed with dad paying for all her stuff. He wrote to her off and on for the next three years using the pseudonyms she’d give him.
My uncle was more generally angry and restless; wanting to fill people in on what he felt they were missing. He would regularly attend the local bars and it wouldn’t be uncommon for him to leave and come back sober. He just wanted to witness to them folk about stuff such as the labour theory of value, the frequency of market crises, the importance of understanding global industrial pollution or something along those lines. He often complained of his mental health, namely his short attention span’s relationship to his reading. Because of this, despite him having had few years of a head start on me in political economy, I quickly read far more than him. He began paying out of pocket to attend college classes and debate professors to get a 2nd or 3rd or 8th opinion. The 2008 crash shattered his life of finance, such as an earthquake shatters a busy bridge, and he quickly realised that he’d landed far left after the debris settled. He directed his anger at profit-driven actions and abandoned belief in the free market, instead looking for community-made creation/distribution systems. ‘Finally’, he thought, 'I can lash my anger out at those who deserve so much worse than the average, common fiend.’ His willingness to learn and desire to understand were enough for me to ignore his beard’s smell and his pronounced and maddened approaches, countenances, gesticulations, and obsessions.
None of what I’m saying is a complaint, though. I loved those two. Wymer spent a lot of his time online reading books, essays, and articles on the environment, philosophy, world history, sociology, the residue of western colonialism, and systemic societal buffoonery. He also wrote about communist witch-hunts and handed pamphlets of his thoughts to the townspeople, which the local cops weren’t ever pleased with. He was never much of a good economist but he had grand social scope. In 2019, y’all’d call him ‘woke.’ Meanwhile, Yves would spend his time painting or playing croquet with the neighbours in the backyard. He had a bit of a substance abuse problem which he always seemed to be weaker than. The cigarette lighter industry loved him. If he read at all, it’d be some cheesy novel or children’s literature. He wanted to spread happiness to others as he felt he had none himself. In 2019, y’all’d call him ‘a beta’.
Both of these men were always ones to keep me safe. Mom and dad told me they were my guardians, and my uncle swore the same thing to me after her death. They fought a lot as children but learnt to appreciate one another into adulthood with their mutual love of, among other things, listening to metal. Their quirks were what they were, and few quirks can distract from basic kindness, humility and human decency. This meant they were hostile towards all that I deemed a threat. This was such a honour I had to have those good, safe people with me. And seeing as it were that I was the only openly gay girl living in a conservative Christian town, I couldn’t have had a safer upbringing. I was a ‘witch’ surrounded by a bunch of Puritans, Papists, Quakers and Messianics who all seemed to behave similar to, and want to live in, a golden moral past which never actually existed. My father and uncle were truly the best men I ever knew, and everyone else knew that (maybe they even knowingly acted upon it). I lived in an apathetic town. ‘Other people are not my concern.’ Those people shit on the idea of being ethical, except for my home.
Every time that I’d have friends over, they’d say that our family dynamic was the best they’d ever been to before the end of their first visit. Every single time. And they knew it was because we all had a respect of each other and a desire to understand ourselves in there. I really wanted to help both of them out and they felt the same for me. My dad was specifically very gung-ho on wanting the boys at school to leave me alone. In fact, that was among the first things he said when he found out- he actively called out death to all those who sought to wish me harm, and he kept going on about contacting the school. Mom and Wymer did the same. It was a bit much, and as much as I loved and appreciated him loving and accepting me for who I am, again, it was a bit much. I’m not short and I have never lost a fight. A small part of me thinks that Yves was just scared that in whatever harassment scandal he’d imagined that I’d come out as victor and be convicted of manslaughter.
He put a lot of effort into protecting me to distract himself from the fact that I, spiritually, was now protecting him. Appearances deceive. He never fully learnt that from me.
He also forgot my friends Shane, Mack, and Albin. These boys were quick to learn and prudent in judgment. They were among the first I came out to since they were generally nice, soft-spoken nihilists who didn’t flirt with any girl or woman under any circumstances. They all generally looked alike, so it’d always be easy to look for them in the streets. These three hated each other but were the type of outcasts too lazy to care about making other friends. We all loved playing soccer and othergames Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon and Magic the Gathering as kids. Since we grew up in the same neighbourhood, we played with each other enough to turn our friendship unbreakable. We all had a sacred blood-bond in our own type of weeaboo mysticism.
At some point in 8th grade I made them all swear a type of Knight’s oath in service to none other than me if and when other boys wouldn’t take 'no’ for an answer. I was going through an edgy phase so my exact wording was probably something more like an order to “defend their queen against normie, goblin scum” or something to that effect. They and I all read the same fantasy and sci-fi bullshit so I really wanted my message to stick like jizz glue. I was their queen because I always beat them at their games. I always found the rarest Pokémon wasting the least amount of Pokéballs. I always found the most Minecraft diamonds. I always ended up killing the most enemies on COD. That shit was glorious; if only Twitch© were a thing back then. When you’re a girl and you’re consistently better at games than a cis male gamer, boy oh boy does it upset them. Normally it angers them, but these three specifically were far too nihilist to be that rude- my skillz instead humbled them, and a bunch of kids in my position would milk friendships like that for all it’s worth. Those three agreed and kept their word in flame.
This plan sorta backfired. The boys stopped flirting with me and knew I sought no romance with them, good, but now all the girls avoided me and started giving me harsh glares (One even gave a free pink King James Bible, with the irony sadly being entirely lost on my giver). I didn’t quite realise my plan immediately led to them telling others. In hindsight, that should’ve been more obvious. I felt a formidable and frosty chill from said others, as well as glares that made me feel like I was a carefully-watched animal. I’m thankful that dad and Wymer didn’t allow me to have a smartphone at that time, because cyberbullying has always been such a steaming pile of aardvark mucus, and I, in middle school, needed to see none of what they wrote.
Most of the staff pretended not to notice and gave slaps on the wrist for punishment. But I had a secret weapon- friends and family who always loved me despite not always trying to understand me. They meant well in defiance of their occasional insensitivity, their budding awareness of ignorances and their lack of any idea of what it was they were trying to do.
It was all I had; better than nothing- better than many. They’d listen. Listening is classically underrated; people have spent way too long not shutting the fuck up. This allowed them to try to understand. When you get someone primed for some understanding, then can you extol to them whatever bullcrap it is you must say. And, if in-fact Yves and Wymer understood, then they’d go apeshit for the next week and a half on the staff. They never realised how often my friends got suspended for the same reason.
There’s several good tales I could tell, but my favourite started by Albin simply talking to a school administrator about certain new policies which seemed to be very excessively Christian-in-nature and vaguely queerphobic. He was irate that he wasn’t able to go to a school dance with Shane, since Mack was my date and we didn’t care to go with other people. This staff member was higher up than a mere teacher so he was in a position to cast judgment on my friend. But Albin always fucking hated this guy so he didn’t cower in fear. This administrator was a real prick and everyone there knew it, so when Shane and Mack heard them two screaming in an abandoned hallway, they went to the source of the sound, with Shane recording on his camera. He recorded a short, rambunctious, vague, and incoherent dialogue with the two which included the administrator saying, among other things, that he’d “wipe the school clean of all you disrespectful millennial f*ggots”. Albin went full steam ahead through that horsecrap, instantly declaring him a kind of religious oligarchical czar; saying to him that he was forcing the school board to bow down before a type of ugly deity.
“It may as well be called Holy Law! Whoever does not fall down and worship shall be instantly cast into a white-hot furnace? Is that what you’re saying? That’s basically what you’re saying! Obey or perish! Is that what you want? Will you condemn those who you refuse to let exist?” The administrator made them leave their space when he realised a sizable crowd had watched him make an ass of himself.
Before he could leave, however, Mack joined in- “Hey administrator-”
The administrator genuinely looked at Mack as if he were expecting cold-hard cash- as if Mack was going to be a perfectly obedient, whipped coward. That stupid man had no true emotions. Mack said,
“If our god, whom we now serve, can save us from the white-hot furnace and from your hands, oh mister, may he save us! But even if he will not, know, oh you, we will not serve your interpretation of god or worship your fools-gold societal standards which you set up!” Shane was laughing the whole time.
They all got 8 days suspension for that, 8 times longer than normal. The administrator thankfully got fired, though, for the content of what was recorded. I have no idea where the worship ceremony thing came in but I loved it, and ‘the white-hot furnace’ was our class’ inside joke for the rest of the year. In town we’d hear “Look! I see four of y’all walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like one of the gods.”
This was typical in my hometown of Yeastville for what seemed like a very long time. It was claustrophobic and filled with a lot of frustrating people, but I knew I had it better than many others in my position. Wymer in particular was always a strange source of comfort with all his bitterness toward the rich and his genuine tenderness towards almost everything and everyone else (except those amongst us poor who wish to maintain the status quo of the current flow of capital; he had no sympathy for those who defend parasites). On my 16th birthday he gave me lectures, essays, rants, and even comedy bits in a type of crash-course on women, communism, class-conflict, and the nightmare of ecology, with tons of books. I literally have never met or heard of anyone learning Marxist theory from their uncle. Dad was never much into politics which let him and I go buck wild with reading. They both also allowed me to get the internet in my pocket, allowing me to access all of recorded human knowledge. Learning the hardships of life throughout history all relating to the ways European colonisation and christianisation made their effects on the world made perfect sense when I considered how Shane, Mack and Albin always had a type of assurance that they’d be alright in the end after getting in trouble at school and that I’d always end up getting shat on by most of the rich, Christian staff. We’re living in a society. Uncle Wymer was a very staunch commie who never tried to make enemies, but rather had among the softest of intent all the while nevertheless gathering more and more enemies. Having a man like that in my proximity, in the country, is luck. Dad gave me life and general feelings of warmth and love but Wymer gave feelings of inter-personal and inter-sectional solidarity with red-tinted love.
They were both very optimistic yet sad.
However, if I had been raised in any other home at any other time by any other parent or guardian then I’d never have realised my potential that I and y'all have to be the type of total badass who writes shit like this. Those two always told me to strive for what I want and need, no matter what society’s expectations are. You’re always you, yourself, and the stains of other people, so get some fucking confidence. When I was put through the fear of 2013, that confidence gave me wings with which I’ve soared ever since.
Back in early 2011, a new girl came to the first day of school. She was in my grade and all we were told about her was that she was colourblind, tall, and from a rich family. I clearly remember thinking thinking was going to hate her, as I assumed she was going to the type of bitch spoiled by an extravagant and decadent bourgeois family- the type Wymer would always warn about.
When she walked into homeroom, she was looking at her feet. She was visibly nervous and uncomfortable. She was indeed less than a foot shorter than our 6'7″ teacher, Mr. Young (no relation). She was lanky with medium-length black hair. She looked tired and thoroughly spooked, with a thoroughly frightened glare in her big, green eyes. She wore a medium-length beige dress with dark boots. She’s giggling next to me as I type this. Whatever, lovely. I don’t want people identifying you either.
She eventually started walking toward me, looking at our first names on the desks placed alphabetical order. I believe in the power of first impressions and she did not meet my expectations.
For context, Yeastville is a poor rural town with few resources which still had 90s technology and desks from the 70s. One of those desks broke with some kid in it as she was passing me, and this pushed her, making her fall on me. She promptly got up, looked at my name on my own desk, said “I’m sorry, Yasmine,” and immediately went to the person who broke their desk, having no discernible concern for her new bruises.
We just so happened to have some extra desks so there was no actual problem, it just became the story of the day. After staff made sure everybody was okay, she sat down behind me. I knew I’d never known anyone named ‘Ymir’. She formally introduced herself by apologising profusely and showering me in compliments. This was not the behaviour I’d expect from someone from her family. She was different than any rich folk I’d heard about from the news, books, or from Wymer. Then again, he wouldn’t necessarily have been researching the children of millionaires.
And yes, she was very rich. Her father was a lying lobbyist-loving liberal- a bureaucratic Bonapartist shitlord by the name of Yair Yellowhammer. I’d like to once again clarify that I’m not short, but he wasn’t much taller than me, so he actually was short. Very short. Fucking shrimp. He had meticulous, balding grey/blond hair with a big nose, filthy ears, and a carnivorous smile. His eyes always had anger within them and they were a shade of brown akin to an overcrowded prison’s cesspool. Wymer had told me about him from his twitter©, of all places. Yes, a logging company with which the congressman worked had been looking to send lots of working class folk into our vast forest, making way for chicken farms among other things. He had moved to town because it’s still within his district but remote enough to make his poor and willingly-ignorant supporters think he fought for them in any way. Yellowhammer advanced ahead policy which would benefit his bank account and kill his enemies the fastest every single time, and Wymer’s comrades were always there to complain about the hideousness of it all. In 2019, y’all’d follow him on Twitter© a lot more.
I soon clearly saw, though, that all I knew of her father had to be cast aside because ‘for now’, I thought, ‘she’s not being hostile. Is she an enemy? Time will tell.’ I had to suck in repulsion to her family and bite my lip as we all waited for the bell to ring. This got harder to do as the day went on. She and I shared many of the same classes, and they all put the students in alphabetical order, so I was forced to spend even more time with her.
But I noticed her act like myself. Mannerisms of my persona with individual agony. At some point she said that she enjoyed my smile the most ‘out of all that she’d seen.’ All? I was nervous, genuinely starting to wonder that she was not who I thought she was. I asked about Yellowhammer and her expression turned glum. She was his daughter and she wasn’t proud of him. I stopped my questioning when I realised she clearly wasn’t straight and that her dad’s sexist, homophobic rhetoric may have given her a big can of worms that I was not quite yet in a position to open. Every answer I got from my interrogations only made her more visibly uncomfortable. She hated him, and I was now acutely aware of that.
I asked those brothers at home what they thought and they both told me to ‘just go for it.’ This frustrated me because with all I said I never mentioned if I liked her, but that was the extent of their advice. Even Wymer had little to say:
“She sounds like a nice person…she sounds like the reason why Yellowhammer keeps his life private.”
Eventually, I confirmed this. She’s a fine and strong ‘degenerate’ who, in any other form, would easily strike terror into the heart of Yair. But in her true form she was subject to cruelty unlike that seen in most parts of the country. She told me story after story of him forcing her into all sorts of awful shit- from weeks of forced scripture readings, to a specific 2-week stay at conversion camp, and even the threat of circumcision. Her step-mother, Yannick, added to this torment. She had married Yair only to birth a new son who’d receive the Yellowhammer inheritance instead of Ymir, who, like me, was an only child. She said to me it was her speaking out against the loggers and industrial farmers which led him to admit to such a thing. She had no uncles or aunts to turn to, and her grandparents had long since passed.
“You’re meek,” he said, “You already have the earth.”
Shane, Mack and Albin tried to help me help her and were their typical selves after I got a girlfriend, having now the chance to compete amongst themselves in their games without fear of me beating them. We four discovered her love of astronomy and the English language. She also helped those three with their Spanish to the point of the four of them having entire conversations, where I’d mock them all in French.
Those were, and these still are, times of love; romantic and platonic.
This was then how it was for many months, with both of our home lives getting progressively worse. The Yellowhammers became poorer in spirit and my family became poorer in general.
In late 2012, my other uncle and aunt Eugene and Ulysse Yarborough died in a mudslide, leaving my only cousin, Ywain, out in the world on his own. Neither Yves nor Wymer had the proper income to adopt him, so he was forced by the state to enter foster homes. We weren’t ever real close, but I thought about him a lot when I’d consider whatever unimaginable shit he’d have been going through. These thoughts asked similar questions about Ymir.
By senior year, she and I had a bit of a routine where I was, according to the Yellowhammers, her tutor. This was a big, big lie, hiding raged, adolescent fever, which I’d never get into for y'all. I have no need nor desire to indulge you sick fucks with your disgusting, overactive imaginations. I’m no historian, but I would rather refrain from espousing details on this website because I believe it also gave us the word ‘turbovirgins.’
Anyway, the actual most dastardly and illegal thing we’d do was when we’d go on walks and we’d stumble across logging sites in the woods where trees were being cleared. Stories began circulating throughout the people of the town. Everyone started blaming a secret cabal of conspiratorial green-freaks putting sugar into the fuel tanks of the many construction machines. Every single time, however, it was just me, with Ymir keeping watch over my shoulder (except a few times when I went with Wymer; he would always obsessively check every single machine to make sure it was thoroughly fucked for weeks. He never thought he’d ever become too old for that shit). Nobody ever figured us out, and the developers became years behind schedule.
The last time she and I did that was in early February 2013. After looking from our vantage point on a wooded hilltop onto the main street, I saw an unfamiliar face in the Yeastville crowd. No…it was familiar…familial. It was Ywain. He looked dirty and tired. His jeans were green from travelling through grass and his trench-coat was covered in a thick layer of pollen, dust and snow. His scarf was tattered and his short, dense hair was a mess from lack of rest. I knew not of his plans, and I knew Yves and Wymer were also unaware of them, as none of us had been contacted. I thought little of it. Valentine’s day was in less than a week, and I didn’t want to get distracted from the celebration. When I told those two brothers at home, they assured me there was nothing to worry about, letting me sleep.
The day before the holiday, Ymir tells me that her dad would be taking her to a private school within the next two weeks to finish her education. This was his response to her telling him about me, and prom, I guess. ‘Great’, I thought. I never had or wanted any money- just peace of mind. Society’s expectations of a person can truly break them if they aren’t cut out for them, and I was never looking forward to tending the land of the Young Farm- even with the thought of having it with Ymir. This was my only option, since college was basically never an option for my incredibly indebted family.
No, I always wanted to lead a life with the only expectations ahead of me be ones that I placed. Suicide is the easy way out, but I’ve always wanted to deny death, and have personally always been afraid of reincarnation. This means I’ll always either concoct a plan or wait it out. But I was not looking to wait until my heart stopped beating. No, I needed an alternative and I needed understanding. I got the former and have since realised I may never get the latter.
It started at 2200 hours on Valentine’s day. I’d been running late home from a painful get-together with Ymir when I notice my home having broken windows. I looked inwards after having crept forward, and saw Ywain snoring on our couch. He was even more of a mess than before. I scanned in the dark with my vision and saw my father and uncle laying in bloody pools on the floor. I realised now that Ywain had invaded the home to kill all three of us and take all of grandpa’s inheritance for himself.
There were a lot of recent arguments about the inheritance from our grandpa, an old black man named Kanye Young (that really was his name, true story- there’s a hundred rants I memorised of Grandpa Ye having to tell people he generally hated music and wasn’t related to mister West). It all amounted to a little more than $30,000, thanks to government interference. I had asked both grandpa and dad if Ywain could be included in on the inheritance after the accident but all the adults involved refused, citing my aunt Ulysse’s direct orders to not include him. This type of fucking behavior I now saw may have been why. The stories I heard about him were always that he was a self-centred brat who always wanted more than everyone else and felt that he deserved it, and it showed. He would’ve rather killed his family to go through a legal loophole rather than face the fact his past actions made his mother feel the way she felt and try to change for the better.
It seems that after he killed his uncles, he realised his cousin wasn’t home and decided to nap on the couch waiting for me. I wanted to cry, but then I took a second to contemplate my situation, and I saw potential. I now felt I had been offered the strength of the cosmos, but I rejected it, as I was, and still am, so much stronger. I was not about to let myself be a ward of the state. This is not the tone I wanted my story to have. I was not about to abandon their lessons those two gave to me of fighting for what I need and to be an annoying, squatting prick when it’s needed. I was told of a promising future, so who’s to say I can’t build one for myself? In general, what is there to say? I now had motivation to act- to let myself legally die. The potentiality of a plan ran through my body like oxygen-rich blood, so I ran to Ymir’s house with said plan.
She’s next to me as I type this and she and just got into a bit of an argument for that last, misleading sentence. It wasn’t really a plan. Plans have lots of precision, detail and a need to be made with a careful attitude. I, on the other hand, made a glorified to-do list and went into the Yellowhammer residence guns-blazing. Literally.
I had brought out Wymer’s guns and knives for my trip. Wearing his goddamn Mitt Romney mask and dad’s goatskin leather jacket, I looked like both death and a total meme. The Yellowhammer residence was situated on the outskirts of town in a remote location with no neighbours, so I was able to get to their house with no problem. I’d never been able to explore much of it beforehand, but Ymir had described it to me to the point where I could easily go about my way. When I found Yair and Yannick in bed, I even knew the right places to walk to ensure they couldn’t hear me (Ymir said she’d do this to mess with Yair’s stuff as he slept). There was no conflict or fight; it was anticlimactic and faster than it seemed. For her last words, Yannick thanked me.
Ymir, when she eventually ran into me, was understandably nervous, but after I explained everything, she relaxed and asked how she could help. We stole a bunch of gold and clothes before setting the house ablaze.
We ran back to my house, where Ywain was till asleep on my couch. We sneaked up behind him, drugged him, and bludgeoned him until he was completely out of it. We had a bag on his head so he couldn’t see us, and made sure to speak to each other in fake voices in case he could hear. Afterwards, we took off his clothes and replaced them with Yair’s. My plan was that Ywain would then be blamed for the murder of both our families, ourselves, and the Yellowhammer arson.
After we were done with that, we exited my house for the last time. It was around 3 (AM), so the town was still relatively quiet. She was nervous and asked if we could have one last walk through the streets. I made sure to show her all the most beautiful views across many streets. After this, we started walking in the woods toward the city. After changing our names, vocal patterns, styles and certain aspects of our attitude, we were ready to take on the world. It’s 2019 and we still are!
When we got to the city we knew we had to keep a low profile and not try to attract attention. I decided to do this by taking up the mantle from Wymer and I got a job in retail. He’s giving me a grin from heaven. You know the grin; the overtly smug grin that’s only ever 100% condescension, and even when they say they’re not trying to be condescending that just makes you feel it more. Ymir, on the other hand, works at a popular bookstore; keeping stock whilst also writing both book reviews and poetry. We make just enough money to get food, weed, and keep our landlord at bay. I hope you people on this site saw the post about some person who bought a dog whistle to make their landlord’s dogs incessantly bark to the point where the poster could then complain to their landlord that their ‘dogs are barking too much.’ Ymir and I did the same thing, and I recommend it. They’ve probably got the first two Rage Against The Machine albums memorised by this point since that’s all she and I ever listen to. In short, we gave him constant hell.
Things were going surprisingly well for us. It was weird to talk to others about ‘where we came from,’ but we never lied enough to have inconsistencies with our stories. But one day, I had to deal with a co-worker- a Wiseguy. This Wiseguy’s often talkative, but on that day they seemed quiet, tense, anxious, and struck with overwhelming terror- especially when working with me. I asked them if all were well, and they said no. I asked why, and they gave me a look of someone falling to their death.
They swallowed their spit,
“I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about freaky, unexplained crimes, and there was one in particular that caught my attention. A man had apparently killed a congressman and his family, then proceeded to burn down the entire house to ashes before then killing his own two uncles and cousin on the other side of town.”
I looked on, screaming internally, saying calmly,
“…Okay?”
“But,” they continued, “The bodies of the congressman’s daughter and the murderer’s cousin, who was living with his uncles, were never found. There’s also some inconsistencies in the times of death, along with the fact the perpetrator specifically only ever plead guilty of his uncles’ deaths, not that of his cousin or of the congressman’s family.”
I stared in silence. They weren’t done.
“I looked a little into it, and it seems that the congressman’s daughter had a diary that survived the flames. One section that caught my attention was how she was going to have deal with a new baby brother because she was not seen to be a proper heir to the congressman’s wealth.”
This wouldn’t have bothered me at all if Ymir hadn’t told them less than a week prior of her new tragedy involving a tyrant wasting his life in the prospect of a male heir since he hates the princess, our narrator. I felt trapped and exposed. Goddammit, I always told her to check TvTropes© and she never did.
“Are you ready to go?”
It was Ymir. She was standing by my side since her shift had apparently ended early and mine was due to end at any given moment. I turned worryingly to Wiseguy, who had a huge smile on their face. They said,
“I really, really fucking hated Yellowhammer. His death did wonders for the planet, and, uh, I am your friend…so just please tell me what you can when you can!” They then sent me home and walked away.
I eventually told Wiseguy everything. There was no reason to hide; they figured out that I was Yasmine Young. They didn’t have any kind of scared or nervous reaction. Quite the contrary, they were utterly fascinated. And they wanted to help, giving us stuff from make-up tutorials to online spots where we could maintain pseudo-anonymity. They were a comrade much like Wymer, becoming something of my and Ymir’s best friend, being the only one who ever figured us out.
And then, everything went quiet. Nobody said anything after that. ‘Finally,’ I thought, ‘it’s all in the past.’
Last week, after a while of having muscle cramps in our abdominal regions, we learn we both have terminal stomach cancer, the disease that killed both our moms. We can’t afford treatment, and even if we could, we don’t have enough time left to go through thosr miles of legal red-tape. She and I took a while to decide on what we need to do, and we decided to post this. My wife and I have story and we won’t die silently. We have voices that can be heard and words that can be read.
But I’ve said enough about us, back to you, reader- you can do so much better. Practice and improvement is always an option. We, collectively as a people, are stronger than we admit to ourselves. We are the true rulers of the earth; letting a small bunch of ornamental fucks hold our shit for us. The ruling class is a parasite, and like every parasite, it can be killed by, and is smaller than, its host.
Come and get me, INTERPOL, because we have loaded guns and more than enough ammunition to kill ourselves and well over 100 landlords. You can’t get cigarettes with a fake ID but you can get a gun license with it. However, I have no faith in the ability of the cops to use 2019 technology in general, let alone tumblr. Eat santorum, cops.
I’m posting this to Wiseguy’s blog without their permission, and I hope someone on this site can hear me and preserve my words. I hope you read this entire thing because I now that I’ve looked through your blog I have to tell you that you’re a bit inarticulate and shitty at economic theory. I’ll have to send this post to Shane, Mack, and Albin’s blogs, since they appear to still be active.
To end this, I must speak again of Valentine. He may as well have been an anonymous tumblr blog for all history cares because the affects an action matters far more than the individual who performs it. His history is inconsistent and chaotic, but is love not chaos? Not a Petersonian “"“chaos”“”, but an unrivaled, unparalled and uncanny type of lustful wrath that can take out all of hate’s laziness. You can reject both pure nihilist sloth and desire-driven consumerism. Total freedom should not be seen as an extreme!
There’s a lot to take in; you can’t get it all. Do what you know helps. Do what we know helps.
To decontextualise Richard Dawkins-
“…be satisfied with not understanding the world.”
Sin with pride

I really didn’t know what to think about going to Georgia in the beginning but honestly this country absolutely blew my mind. It was literally something that I was waiting to discover. You have this dream about going somewhere and you just think “Yes that’s the perfect place to be”.
It’s like the perfect match and everything you do just amazes you even more. “What’s so magical about it?” you’re probably asking right now. It’s a mix of everything I reckon. The warm-hearted people, the stunning countryside, Tbilisi’s nightlife, maybe something else… It’s hard to describe but I guess it’s the mix of everything.
Technically Georgia is located in Eurasia, but its own people describe it in a very lovely way, it’s the balcony of Europe. Yes I think that is true. Balconies are usually my favorite part of an apartment and I fully agree. I arrived with very little expectation but Georgia took me on a journey, taught me how to appreciate nature and showed me what influence people can have on your soul.
A journey into humanity and kindness. A gem between Europe and Asia and a place you will not regret visiting. This is all based on my personal experience and to date if someone asks me this very, very difficult question about the best country I have ever visited, well…. my answer hasn’t changed in years and I still say it is Georgia, the country that has left a massive impact on my life as a traveller.
no.1 – The nature of Georgia… no words can describe it…
…and I can’t do it either you have to find out by yourself!
I have to say that I was pretty amazed when I saw the Caucasian Mountains for the first time. It was an early morning on a bus between Batumi and Tblisi… I woke up and wiped my eyes because I couldn’t really believe what I was just seeing there at the horizon. It was a beautiful Friday morning, no clouds, no noise. Just the sun, myself and the mountains.
It doesn’t matter where you go but Georgia’s nature will keep you speechless. One specific region I will not forget is the Tusheti National Park, a northern slope of the Caucasian Mountains and it kinda reminded me of Scotland, just more beautiful and amazing. It’s hard to believe that such a magical place like this is nearly untouched and with no tourists. I think I want to keep it that way and won’t tell you more about it, look at the photos and tell me what you think…
Also the highest peak of Europe can be found here, the Mount Elbrus which rises to a height of 5,642 metres. To sum it up there are more than seven five-thousanders in the greater Caucasian Mountain range. Once in Georgia you should really consider a trip into the mountains. They can be easily reached from Tbilisi and are usually just a few hours drive away. It is a once in a life time experience, don’t miss out on it!
no.2 – The people of Georgia will conquer your heart…
…within seconds and they will treat you like family!
What I experienced in Tbilisi will always remain as one of the greatest human interactions I have ever experienced. It was warm hearted and so touching that I couldn’t believe that strangers who I’d just met can give so much to each other. Mankind can create such respect and love for each other and the bond between people can change the world.
My Couchsurfing host Ninchoo, her friend and my German friend Michael went out for a few beers at a pub in Tbilisi. In the corner were a few guys from the National Choir of Georgia. The boys had already had a few beers and started to sing very loudly, it seemed to be normal because they didn’t catch my attention. They stopped and everyone applauded. I took the oppurturnity with my friend Michael and we started to sing a German song, I can’t remember what it was but everyone suddenly became silent. Everyone was fixated on us but we kept singing…
After we finished everyone in the pub started to shout and to cheer, suddenly everyone started to sing, from the Beatles, to our national anthem and some Georgian folklore songs. It was magical and the boys started to dedicate songs to us and we to them. We hugged, we respected and enjoyed each other presence. It didn’t matter what a horrible singer I was, but I guess it was the gesture that mattered. Music is just not a language but also a way of life…
He might look a bit grumpy but he was a super nice fella!
no.3 – The little local markets…
…with yummy, yummy vegetables and fruits!
You’ll find them everywhere. Colourful vegetables, fruits, meat, bread… anything and everything you could wish for. Very traditional and even if you don’t wanna buy anything you have to visit the markets. It’s a place with no price tags and you always have to negotiate the price with very interesting and sometimes very grumpy old ladies who obviously don’t speak a single word of English.
It’s fun to stroll around these markets and to check out all the things you’ll never find from your local Walmart, Tesco or Woolworths. You can’t really find such cool individual markets anymore and this is what I loved so much about Tbilisi, it’s just unique and very special. All the vegetables are of course Georgian grown and super fresh…
Should I admit that I don’t eat much vegetables?! Better not…
no.4 – Tbilisi is one of the most unique capitals I know…
…and I have been to more than 60!
Why is that? Probably because Georgia is surrounded by so many different cultures and therefore got all the good qualities from each neighbor. Russia in the north, Turkey in the West, Armenia and Iran in the South and Azerbaijan in the East. It’s a great mix and you can see a lot of those attributes everywhere around Tbilisi.
But I guess it was once again the people I enjoyed the most. I was always treated very nicely and people would always try to help me. You won’t find many western chains such McDonalds or Burger King and the whole city is kept in a very traditional way. Little markets here and there, a few Soviet leftovers and a touch of modern architecture. Tbilisi is changing and is trying to find its very own style.
The nightlife is great, and you will see a lot of young people everywhere. The country itself is very religious and there is a huge respect for the church but it doesn’t affect the everyday life of the people like other countries such as Iran for example. There is a new generation taking over, the ones who hadn’t experienced the time of Soviet “occupation”. It is a new modern city that is slowly opening itself up to the world.
no.5 – The little streets of Tbilisi…
…makes you forget about Paris or Venice!
That was something I noticed when I walked through Tbilisi for the first time. Cute little alleys and streets all over the city. It definitely has its charm and you could almost say Tbilisi is the Paris of Eurasia.
It’s probably not written in any Lonely Planet and I doubt there is even one for Georgia but this is something you must do. Take your time and go for a little stroll. You will love it. Make sure you take your camera with you for a few snaps!
no.6 – The beer is good and cheap, so is the food…
…and you won’t stop drinking or eating, I promise!
If there is something that makes me love or not love a country, it is of course the price of the beer. If it’s cheap, I stay. If it’s cheap and good I will probably settle there…hehe. In a normal trendy downtown bar you will get a pint for just two dollars and you’ll love it. Georgian beer is as pure as it can be and it is really delicious. Just imagine you can get drunk for just 10 dollars. “Gaumajus” – that’s how you say cheers in Georgia!
The cuisine in Georgia is very unique, with both European and Middle Eastern influences. The national dish is called Khinkali, and it pretty much reminded me of Chinese dumplings.
This mouth watering dish is really something you can’t get around here. It’s usually filled with spiced meat such as pork, beef or sometimes lamb. Now the interesting part, with your first bite you also have to suck the juice out of it, in order to prevent the dumpling from bursting. That’s how you do it! Enjoy your meal!
no.7 – You have to visit Kazbegi…
..because it will blow your mind!
You are probably asking yourself what is so special about it. I mean in every village in Europe you have at least two churches… I’m going to tell you why. You find them at the most bizarre places where you won’t find anything but sheep and mountains.
There was one church in particular that caught my attention, the Gergeti Trinity Church. It’s a very famous landmark in Georgia. It’s located next to Mount Kazbegi at 2170 meters above sea level. I couldn’t have thought of a better location for a church…
It is very difficult to reach the church though, either you have to go for a very steep hike, which will take you about three hours or you can get a Jeep and drive along the mountain trail, what is probably the better option if you are not into hiking that much…
This is like Scotland but a 100 times more amazing…isn’t it?!
no.8 – Batumi and the stunning Black Sea Coast…
…are probably something you were looking for!
I must admit that I have seen nicer beaches and I do prefer sand instead of stones but Batumi and the Black Sea Coast has its charm. I guess it’s the combination of the mountains and the sea just so close to each other. You can go skiing and two hours later you can lay at the beach and work on your tan. Perhaps I should learn how to ski then but I guess that’s a different issue hehe…
Batumi has a subtropical climate and the weather is really nice, also in the winter. The city itself has a few architectural highlights. An upside down White House for example or the lighthouse of Alexandria, doesn’t that sound fun? It’s the new Cote D’Azur of Europe. A few fancy hotels, a nice beach walk and many colourful lights all over the city. A lot of young people come here to spend some nice times at the sea. The most come to relax or just to socialise. There are also a lot of good parties at the beach, don’t miss out on them…
What to see in Georgia?
…a few recommendations I strongly suggest!
Mtskheta
It is the oldest city in Georgia and part of the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is located 20 kilometers north of Tbilisi and definitely worth a visit.
Kutaisi
The former capital of Georgia, its second largest city and the home of the goverment.
Svaneti
A region in north-west Georgia known for its architectural treasures and picturesque landscapes. It’s also part of the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The Great Caucasus
The highest mountain range in Europe stretching 1200 km from the Black to the Caspian Sea. Also Europe’s highest peak the Mount Elbrus is located in the Caucasian Mountains.
Ushguli
A tiny village located on 2200 meters above sea level and therefore the highest village in Europe. It’s also known for its typical Svanetian protection towers.
Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park
One of the largest and probably most stunning national parks in Europe.
Bagrati Cathedral
Yes another highlight on the UNESCO World Heritage list and a masterpiece in the history of modern and medieval Georgian architecture. It is located in the city of Kutaisi.
Gelati Monastery
The monastery for a long time was one of the main cultural and intellectual centers in Georgia and to date one of the most visited sights in the country.
Things to do in Tbilisi?
…a few things you shouldn’t miss out on, especially the beer!
How to get to Tbilisi
As a Frequent Flier, I usually book my trips on JustFly (cheapest fares) or CheapOair (great Business Class deals). Check it out!
I put together a whole article with my best Business Travel Hacks and Trips. Including how to get cheap lounge access, affordable airport pick ups or how to find the best seat on your next flight, check it out!
Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi
Commonly known as Sameba you can see the church from almost everywhere in the city. It’s a brand new church, only completed in 2004 and the third tallest Eastern Orthodox church in the world.
Narikala
A big fortress overlooking Tbilisi and the Kura river. It’s a great place to visit where you can also enjoy a great view. It kinda reminded me of the castle in Budapest.
Metekhi
One of the oldest neighbourhoods of the town. It’s located on a elevated cliff with a little chapel on top. Another great spot, especially in the evening when the sun is about to set or if you wanna kiss your girlfriend for the first time…
Turtle Lake
Grab a mate, a few cold beers and hire a paddleboat on a sunny afternoon. The lake is nicely located and you get to enjoy a chilled relaxed atmosphere there. If you find a turtle I’ll buy you a beer!
Mtatsminda Amusement Park
The park is located just next to the TV tower and you’ll love it. It’s super cheap and full of great rides. You won’t get bored, I promise! Honestly, it’s one of the better parks.
The Old City
Of course you should take a stroll through the city and visit the major places such the Georgian State Museum, the Presidential Palace, Freedom Square and simply walk and explore the local markets. If you are a Rugby Union or football fan check out the Dinamo Arena for a match.
Nightlife in Tbilisi
This is a great guide for clubs and bars in Georgia’s capital. I really loved the Irish pub, it’s called Dublin I guess but it was really awesome and I met awesome people there.
The perfect food guide for Tbilisi
This is a list of great restaurants and bars featured by the Lonely Planet, go through it and perhaps you find something that will suit you.
…get your backpack ready and visit Georgia!
Have you ever been to Georgia or are you planning to go there one day? Please let me know and leave a comment in the section below. I’d love to hear about experiences you’ve made in this amazing place, thank you so much for reading!

12/25/17 – No Contact: Christmas
I hate Christmas. I feel very alone right now. I got back from work and I’ve been awake since. Current time is 1am. I wrote a bit of a rant on Facebook. It was more to address those who experience today in Solitude. I wrote this rant more for myself… but if asked about it, I’ll deny it. I wrote about how many people are alone and feel the burden of the holiday. So if I’m asked, I’ll say, “No, I’m with my cousin.”
Excuses. It’s a poison and I’m the only one drinking it. Tomorrow, Adela and I will try to find a place to get food. I guess I’ll get some McDonald’s. Fuck it, I’ll have meat. -,-
On Twitch, two people have added me. I’ve accepted. They don’t seem to be bots, at least not when I added them a week or so ago. I asked one why they added me. Rather, how they found me. He (assuming this person is male but he has a feminine name) said we have a mutual friend. Shane. I haven’t seen hide nor hair from him in a long while. Very peculiar.
It’d be funny if it were Esther and she were stalking me, but this person is playing World of Warcraft. She never heard of it when we met. Of course, she and Dennis could have gotten into it… I wonder.
Remember how I said “Dennis and I never go out so his stories are false.” Thing is, in World of Warcraft, we did A LOT of things together. That is far more likely. Again, doubt it’s Esther but if Dennis got her into WoW that’d be a place where a lot of his stories involving me would be true.
I suspect Shane told these people to add me. I think he’s busting my balls. Just sort of trying to upset me or something. I don’t know. It’s a very weird circumstance. I’m going to try to avoid these folks but if they message me, I’ll respond. I don’t even know how to check mutuals on Twitch, so it’s more than likely he told them to add me. Whether his intention is malicious or not has yet to be determined.
Anyways, time to ruin Christmas. As I said yesterday… or the day before? The transcript for me trolling. I probably won’t share anything like this again, so this will be for educational purposes only. Behold:
Original Post by Mutual Friend who ISN’T a Nazi (Was Posted on Twitter but Appeared on Facebook which he neglects): Journalists need to realise that the erosion of trust doesn't matter for their political antithetics. Trump supporters won't watch @CNN anyway.
It's their normal audience that'll tire of constant mistakes, of immature antics. Yelling about apples won't help with that.
Declan: Nope it won't help them, but there is a NEW NAZI BORN every MINUTE these evil and vile people exist! GOOD AND JUSTICE IS COMING! [At this point, he shares a video titled “88 Problems” which is a Nazi remake of “99 Problems” and is ABUNDANTLY Fascist]
Declan: [He shares a picture of Stalin furiously grabbing his head and looking down upon a series of pictures depicting Communism and Homosexuality with Hitler laughing in the corner]
Stephen: [Shares a picture of a Pencil with the words “This Machine Kills Fascists” on the side]
Declan: Hahahaha, gotta love the queer unnatural filth that rose up to exist because we chose the wrong side in World War Number 2. Thank the CREATOR for Generation ZYKLON which is rising in huge numbers. I guess the degenerates pushed too far too fast. Just a matter of time now, the days of the degenerate is numbered. THANK GOD!
Stephen: Lel, not sure if you're serious or not. Either you're telling a joke or you are the joke. ;)
Stephen: [Shares a picture of Che Guevara, on the top is written “I bet you won’t repost because you’re too ashamed to have a picture of Jesus on your feed.” The purpose of this was to target his blatant over-religiousness and was more to draw him out as the image will offend him ideologically as well as spiritually.]
Declan: [Tags Me] - HAHAHAHHAHAHA, [Includes picture of Che Guevara with the quote “’The Negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized, and intelligent.’ - Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara” and is immediately followed by another quote saying, “THIS DUMMY NIGGER SAYS NIGGERS ARE LAZY AND LAZY… In his nigger mind while attempting to promote Europeans… IS NOT EUROPEAN!”]
Declan: Now run to facebook and cry to CUCKERBERG to ZUCK me
Stephen: Oh, you're serious. The thing is, Che isn't black. In fact, his ancestry is Spanish-Irish. It's alright for not knowing, however. Ignorance can be cured through education. Education is a machine that kills fascists. :D
Declan: [Tags Me; mind you, the hyphen is a part of his responses, this has all been copied and pasted directly with the exception of describing the text in images] - YOU SAID ONLY BLACKS CAN BE NIGGERS! You, YOU, are clearly anti-black.
Declan: [Tags Me, yet again] - you should be ashamed, BLACK LIVES MATTER!
Stephen: "Nigger" is a derogatory term for people of color. Much like how "Kike" is a derogatory term for Jews. If I were to call you a kike and then proceeded to insist that Kikes aren't specifically Jews, that'd be ignoring the original meaning of the word. The more you know. :D
Declan: People of color? You mean how "white" people are all the colors with various hair and eye colors, and brown people are just brown…
Stephen: More how in the US and other western nations determine someone's race by the color of their skin as opposed to standards in other nations. For example, in the Balkans, race is more nationalized and has more to do with culture. For example, Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo. They're different peoples and are considered a different race despite having the same skin color, but I digress.
Anyways, race is a boring topic and you're so very ignorant. Instead, let's talk politics. Since you're super into Black Lives Matters, then certainly you've heard of the glory that is Marxism, yes? :D
Declan: [Tags Me Again; please stahp] - I have heard of it, yes indeed. I figure cuckerberg is getting his minions ready to ban me as I type, so I better respond quickly… [Shares a picture depicting Romans carrying the fasces and is captioned, “In ancient ROME the fasces were carried by the lictors to assemble the court of the magistrate. They brought justice & light of ROME as they bore the fasces on their shoulders. The fasces remains a symbol of justice to this day because of it’s use in history. A bundle of sticks, in this case it was an axe bound around it with rods, held in place by leather strapping. The fasces served as a symbol of the people united together in the purpose of service to one another to build society under the law. It is this unity of purpose that is the basis for FASCISM. I am a FASCIST.”]
Declan: [Shares yet another picture with words, this depicting Joseph Goebbels with Adolf Hitler, quoting the former as saying, “THE JEW IS THE PLASTIC DEMON OF DECAY. WHERE HE SENSES FILTH AND DECAY, HE APPEARS FROM HIS HIDING PLACE AND BEGINS HIS CRIMINAL SLAUGHTER OF THE PEOPLES. HE PUTS ON A MASK OF FRIENDSHIP BEFORE THOSE HE WANTS TO BETRAY, WITHOUT THE INNOCENT VICTIM NOTICING THAT HIS NECK IS ALREADY BROKEN.
THAT IS WHY WE NATIONAL SOCIALISTS OPPOSE THE JEWS. THE JEW HAS CORRUPTED OUR RACE, SOILED OUR MORALS, UNDERMINED OUR VALUES, AND BROKEN OUR STRENGTH. WHEN WE FORGOT OUR GERMAN NATURE, HE TRIUMPHED OVER US AND OUR FUTURE. -Dr. Joseph Goebbels, July 30 1928.” Wall of text and is a dumb quote. Dumb.]
Stephen: Nonsense, nobody is listening to your banter besides me. You're making it clear that you like Fascism so I'd like to ask you more about your ideology. What do you like about Fascism?
Declan: I believe in natural order and seeking real truth. This leads to true justice.
Stephen: Right, but truth is subjective. Rather, let's talk about the political intrigue behind Fascism. For example, what are your views on economics? Do you think Fascism can work with Capitalism?
Declan: Economically, Hitler's policy on National Socialism was an amazing success. So much so, that he turned the ruins of his Republic into a shining war machine.
Stephen: That doesn't answer my question. At all. Do you think Fascism can work along side with Capitalism?
Declan: This is what sums up the ideals of that economic ideal. [Shares yet another picture with a wall of text, I honestly haven’t read any of this until now because fuck that shit. “HITLER’S DEFINITION OF SOCIALISM
‘A Socialist is the one who serves the common good without giving up his individuality or personality or the product of his personal efficiency. Our adopted term ‘Socialist’ has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true socialism is not. Marxism places no value on the individual, or individual effort, or efficiency; true Socialism values the individual and encourages him in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must be in consonance with those of the community. All great inventions, discoveries, achievements, were the first product of an individual brain. It is charged against me that I am against property, that I am an atheist. Both charges are false.’
- Adolf Hitler, December 28, 1938”
Bullshit propaganda, designed to sound good while kissing ass.]
Stephen: It’s a yes or no question, Declan. ;)
Declan: The simplest answer is yes.
Stephen: So yes? You believe Fascism could work with Capitalism? You do realize that much of Hitler's economic success was due to the state taking over control of industry in the nation? If Hitler ran today's world, Walmart and all those other businesses wouldn't exist in favor of a state-owned economic industry. That's the opposite of what capitalism and the free market stands for.
Stephen: Very peculiar thinking. Knowing what you know now, do you still believe capitalism is compatible with Fascism knowing that Hitler's success was largely in part thanks to state controlled industry?
Declan: I disagree totally, given I know what Hitler actually did and promoted. [lol, no you don’t]
Stephen: You disagree that capitalism will work with Fascism? But you just said the simplest answer is "Yes." Why the change of heart?
Declan: [Tags Me once more] - I disagree with you. Hitler's ideals of private property and personal industry was promoted in his work. National Socialism is NOT the same as the disease that is marx. [shares the most previous image again because if I read it once I really have to read it again]
Stephen: I'm not talking about private property as that has little to do with the free market. The thing is, in Nazi Germany you had to work through the Nazis in order to run ANY business. You needed to be a member of the Nazi party. The state controlled almost the entire industry of Germany. This was a requirement for the war effort, after all. Hitler was not one to support the free market as that was part of the Jewish agenda.
Stephen: "These capitalists create their own press and then speak of the 'freedom of the press.' In reality, every one of the newspapers has a master, and in every case this master is the capitalist, the owner." Addressed to the German workers of Berlin in 1940. Hitler said this. He was not a friend of Capitalism. [This is the comment he liked]
Stephen: Hrm, seems you've vanished. Was hoping you'd stick around longer. Perhaps a change of topic would encourage your return. Let's talk about the Fascist's strengths. How do you feel about Nationalism? :D
At this point, he stopped responding.
I was going to talk more about this and explain certain things, but I ended up spending an hour going back. Remember when the paragraphs were doublespacing? I mentioned it briefly and didn’t really talk about it again. I realized that if I have to rely on someone else to post these, I need to make them orderly. So… I did it. Just now.
I don’t suggest it. I was getting rid of the double spacing manually because this is SO long that the program I’m using is just… well, it can’t handle uniting all the edits and making the spacing universal. So, I pressed down on the arrow keys, hit enter, then clicked the mouse multiple times on the “Decrease Paragraph Spacing” button. This lasted a while and I reread a lot… not a healthy trip down memory lane.
Before Shane told me what he told me, I was super chill with Dennis and Esther. I REALLY turned against him. I trusted Shane so much. Trusted Daniel, too. I toyed with the idea that Daniel was untrustworthy… I think Shane too. But I never really confronted it. Of course, Dennis isn’t the ideal character. He still betrayed me. And Esther became a bit of a bitch.
Still, I wrote… a lot of sincere and heartfelt things. I toy with the idea that if Esther were to read this, the first part of the journal would scare her. Going through it again, not really. Like, you can see my opinion of Dennis change. I was honest about who I spoke with. I wasn’t as deceitful as I thought I was. And a lot of the dreams… ironically, I remembered the greatcoat burning dream the most. I remembered it because the design of the camp had a sort of similar appearance to a Call of Duty Black Ops map. The big snowy map in a factory. Not exact layout, just looked similar which is strange for a concentration camp. I can’t remember what I was, though. Probably for the best.
Haven’t seen Cynthia or little Stephen in a while. That’s good. I still have dreams of Esther, of course. Her spectre.
I had to change the name of a certain NationState to NationState Region Founder. He has a funny name but it’s a shame I can’t reveal it. To protect his identity. I sort of involved him in my drama. That was wrong of me.
I wish I could convince Esther to read this. I feel a lot of emotions that I felt back then. I had really hoped that Esther would change her mind. Shane built me up in a way. When he was saying that Dennis was basically Hitler, I was convinced she’d see reason. Of course, I attacked someone she had oxytocin for. Thus, she hated me for attempting to rid her of her oxytocin source.
He’s still a little bitch.
Yeah, maybe I’m salty. But Dennis wronged me. She refused to see that. I forgave him, but he doesn’t want to be forgiven because he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. I forgave her and same thing. She’s a good person… just fucking dumb. ><
She has a lot of potential and it’s being squandered on fucking pot. I hate marijuana. If you smoke it, you’re a fucking idiot. Yes, talking to you, Tumblr Reader. Don’t smoke pot. You need a sober mind. If you do smoke pot, smoke it socially. Don’t let it become a fucking crutch. Overindulgence in anything is a bad idea.
Of course, I’ve basically pigged out these last few days. Weirdly enough, whenever I do I tend to lose a lot of weight. Weird how that happens. I noticed that as I was reliving the journey so far.
I also noticed that I fell for something I told Esther not to fall for. Early in our relationship, before we became romantically involved and we were strictly platonic, I gave her a set of numbers. She asked what the numbers meant and I told her to figure it out herself. I ended up talking about hidden messages and the Enigma Machine from WWII. In an effort to learn the meaning of this set of numbers, she learned how to read the Enigma Machine. She had a big crush on me, you see, and really wanted to impress me.
As she was learning to decipher the Enigma Machine, I told her that it’s possible the numbers have no meaning. Immediately, she denied it and said that some of the numbers were making sense. I told her that she’d find a meaning but that meaning would be entirely her own. She was looking for answers and if she looked hard enough, she would find the answers. She’d find these answers even if there was never a question. She still defended the idea that the numbers I gave her had a meaning.
Eventually this idea of hers vanished as I managed to convince her that it was an analogy for religion. What’s the meaning of life? Certainly, there are answers and we’ve found it! Just don’t eat shellfish or pork! Because you’ll get sick and die if the pork isn’t cooked well enough or if you have shellfish allergies.
We try to find a meaning for everything. Everything must have an answer. And when we find even a glimmer of an answer, we’ll do whatever we can to defend it. That is why the most religious people are… well, religious. Because they are determined that they have an answer to a question they alone asked. A meaning to all of this.
The fact of the matter is, there is no meaning. There only is. We exist and we perhaps shouldn’t question why we exist. Life is temporary as an individual… but as a collective? Life is infinite.
Anyways, Esther tried to impress me by attempting to find an answer to a question that was implied. Instead, I impressed her through a bit of insight.
Esther was strange at first, but she was worth talking to. She was like a blank canvas and I was determined to take advantage of this. I wanted to expand her mind, her thought processes. She has so much potential that I know Dennis won’t see. I’m certain he oxytocins her as well, perhaps as much as I do. But his oxytocin for her? It’s a physical attraction.
To me, I oxytocin’d her because there were so many possibilities. The idea of Cynthia and mini Stephen? That’s recent. To me, I had hoped to share experiences with her. I wanted to do things I never have and have her do things she’s never done. I never ice skated before I met her, for example. A tip of the iceberg for me, the iceberg being adventures we may never do.
I mentioned that we had contracts. She and I set these contracts and they began because I recognized that she was naive and would agree to anything. Basically, I wrote contracts under duress to point out, “Hey, don’t fucking agree to everything just because you want one thing!” It was GROSSLY against her. However, we eventually rewrote the contract for other things. We weren’t in a romantic relationship at the time, but we were flirting quite heavily. It lead to the romantic relationship getting established.
My pride… it interfered. She screwed me over in the contract and rather than letting her get too proud, I decided to weasel my way out of it and have her rewrite it. Of course, it was a serious point so I weaseled for good intentions but I regretted doing it then. Still regret it now.
Before we broke up, right after the event happened where I discovered Dennis was a piece of shit and the oxytocin for me Esther had once felt had faded, I wrote a new contract in an effort to get her back. It heavily favored her. She came over to pick up her things the day after, and I showed her the contract as well as a letter detailing my remorse. I uninstalled all my games for the first time to prove my sincerity, showing her an empty steam library. The contract I had written the night before was VERY hard on me… Esther even pointed it out. It was a chance, but I was so scared of losing her that I lost my shit. Ended up cutting my arm. That was 9/3/17. The End.
Love is strange. Never have I… panicked like I had. Never have I hurt so badly. Losing Esther has hands down been the lowest point of my life. It was only made worse by those I thought were my friends. Shane, Dennis… even Daniel. Of course, Daniel is still a friend. But he’s not an ally. He actively worked against me. Admittedly, he worked against me on the behalf of his brother. He was loyal and chose a side. To him, blood was thicker than water.
The original quote, supposedly, is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” That is to imply that the bonds you have can be thicker than the bonds you’re born with. I told Daniel that Dennis never liked him, and it’s true. Dennis NEVER liked him. I’ve mentioned this multiple times. However, Esther was told this and only saw the Dennis of… recent years. Perhaps Daniel and him repaired their relationships, but I always remember Dennis just shitting on Daniel.
Dennis was not a good brother.
So, Esther thought I was lying. Me, being a narcissist, was turning Daniel against Dennis! Yeah, I guess I was. But it was still the truth.
Shane… he lied to me because he wanted to do what Dennis had done. Esther had told me that he was getting… creepy. I don’t want to see how deep that rabbit hole goes, but I trust it’s a dangerous one to enter. At least for her.
And Dennis… I don’t know. He’s a liar. He’s admitted this. She trusts him over me. It’s the oxytocin. Of course, I embraced Shane’s words wholeheartedly, so I proved he was more honest than me only in the sense that Dennis said nothing and I said everything. I panicked. I never stopped panicking.
Still, Dennis is a piece of shit. If I were in a position to help him, I would. Certainly, I would help him in a heartbeat. However, afterwards I’d spit right in his eye. I respect our history but the loyalty and trust he and I had… he profited off my misery. He did something I would never do. But, I’m holding him to my own standards. As you can see, I can’t uphold myself to my own standards at times.
Hrm… getting late. It’s almost 5 in the morning.
Something else I saw… I spoke about my witch friend a lot. A quick word search has revealed I haven’t revealed her name, so I’ll keep it that way. Witch I met about the time I met Ariel. A bit later. She had her birthday recently. Taught me a lot about magic.
I… asked her to cast spells on Dennis and Esther. Make Esther love me again, forgive me. Less than stellar things for Dennis. I didn’t actually think they’d work and they didn’t, obviously. But the idea would give me peace of mind. I needed… something. Something to keep me grounded. I omitted that information just in case the spells worked.
I found out maybe… a month ago? That the spells won’t work. That the target is a naturally born witch so the spells can’t… magic. Somehow. I’m not sure how it works, but I thought it was fitting. Esther’s a natural witch. If she ever came back to me, I’d have to get her spell books. See what she could do.
Ariel said I might be a natural Shaman because I attract so many witches. When I discovered Esther might be a witch, I couldn’t help but think maybe there was something to what Ariel had said. Thing is, I don’t believe in magic. Honestly, Witch might have just been lying to get me off her back.
Esther is a very spiritual person. I’m not. Ariel is a very spiritual person. I’m not. Witch is a very spiritual person. I’m not. That’s three witches whom I hold very dearly. My cousin is a witch, supposedly. A wiccan or whatever. Jeremiah is wiccan. Just… idk. I thought the wiccan thing was just a fashion trend.
Dumb to say, I know. But maybe there’s a reason for all that.
It’s late, of course. I’d believe any nonsense at this point. But if there is a grain of truth in a silo of lies, then I’ll be sure to give it a chance. I’ll randomly mail Esther some witchcraft books in the future. I think I can remember Dennis’s address.
Oh, I smell nice. I ran my fingers through my hair and I got hit by my cologne. I’m reminded by my work day, though… could have been better. I felt like I left and the job I had done was done… poorly. My work ethic isn’t the greatest, but I felt low. I was dazed. Just was a bad day. The day before was far better. Of course, there was a pretty girl I could flirt with there.
I don’t flirt on the job, of course. I try to stay professional.
Of course, she was shopping too. Thing is, I never had a chance to say hi because… professional. I don’t oxytocin this new girl. I like her as a person because she’s funny and I am definitely attracted to her, but oxytocining her is a bit early. As a cancer, I need to be aware of what I oxytocin.
Besides, playing hard to get is what brought Esther to me. I doubt it’d work here, though.
If Esther came back, I’d stop pursuing Diana immediately. I’d still intend to meet up with Ariel, though. Esther would have allowed it back then before the event. I try to be loyal and monogamous, with Ariel excluded of course. When I was talking about bumping nasties with several women I knew on the way from Susanville to Houston, I knew I wouldn’t sleep with them. Was it a joke? Yeah, a bit, but I actually did want to know if Esther would have cared. I think with the first one, who is single, she and I would have seen a movie. Had dinner. Have a date. Typical bullshit. We wouldn’t have slept together though. Even if I wanted to, she wouldn’t. She’s Christian and is even chaste.
The second girl, she has a boyfriend. I tried pursuing her in the past but the timing was wrong. Never had the chance to actually seal the deal.
The third was a guy. Actually, I met him online. He’s very charming. Persian-American, or at least his dad is Persian. He’s in Iran right now, actually. He lives in Dallas. He’s a very handsome man, as well. That’s something I noticed, Iranians tend to be very attractive peoples. Would I have slept with him?
If I were gay, I’d fucking fuck him so fucking hard. But, alas, I am not. He’s very handsome.
I don’t game anymore so I gave him my phone number recently. Saved it, too. I started saving numbers again. I did it because I didn’t want to forget Esther’s face and my phone… well, it automatically gave her number a face. Not sure where it came from. Adela has a face too, which is strange.
They’re the only two contacts on my phone with faces. And Esther… well, I only saved her number recently. I don’t really save numbers. It’s not my style. The only number I saved last year was this number of this guy who was basically harassing me. Like, he was crazy and I didn’t realize. That’s a long story. Haven’t heard from him in over a year.
Honestly, I hope he’s well. It can’t be easy for him. I think he was homeless. I’m not sure. He was mysterious and strange, yet he was so hopeful.
Oof. That’s a long journey for recounting memory lane. Anyways, it’s time for bed. I’m going to drink the rest of my 1500 ml of water because I didn’t earlier today at work. Then, I’ll brush my teeth. Then… I’ll stay up. I’ll think about Esther. And then I’ll dream about work.
Heh, that sucks. I have this inner fear that I fail at work before sleeping. Makes me restless, strangely enough. Last night, I had a dream that I was leaving this old, rustic manor in Spain with Esther and this other guy. We didn’t lock the house with a lock but this weird mechanism. He said that it was a lock for the stupid. He said this outloud, right as we left. A line formed as people tried to play with the lock.
I realize that one guy was going to get it and I started walking towards him to let him know, “No, fuck off.” The distance got further the closer I got, strangely enough, and when I got half-way he breaks open the mechanism and a bunch of people flood in. I say, “Fuck!” and start running.
I make it inside and I grab the first gun I can. A tank-gewehr from World War One. It’s basically an elephant rifle redesigned to pierce tank armor. Big gun. I take aim at one of the looters and squeeze the trigger.
Nothing. I rack the bolt back to see if it’s loaded and it is. So I push it forward and try to make sure that the bullet is actually chambered correctly. The dream ends before I can take the second shot. Or maybe it didn’t, but I can’t remember the rest. I just remembered I failed at protecting my household from looters.
Tonight will be different. It has to be. I’ll dream about failing to help my coworkers. See you again in a minute. ;)
Should have guessed. I had a dream about Esther. Was very emotional. Like… oof.
Dennis and her separated peacefully, unlike when me and her and I lost my shit and cut myself. I managed to convince her to not only come back in my life but continue dating again. She was hesitant the entire way, but we sat across from each other and I held her hand to my cheek and cried. Crying in front of someone is very hard for me, but I was just so happy that she came back into my life that I couldn’t stop myself.
She had to do something, so I drove into town to do something. It didn’t last long so I came back as soon as possible. I stopped by Dennis’s and he was showing me some things. Strangely enough, he had these snapchat messages with Esther that were saved from 2015. I thought that was very strange, so I made a mental note.
Anyways, I picked her up and she had been doing a pornographic photoshoot. Her boss was this woman who I never saw and Esther said her boss was something of a hard ass. From there, it was time to finally go home. I was very happy.
Then I woke up.
I was a bit grumpy when I did. I mean… really? Seriously? Again with this? In the dream, I was getting ready to prepare this journal to be read. I was making mental notes of what to tell her, mostly. Dennis was being nice to us, so I had to tell her, “Try to ignore me randomly shitting on him.” Just a bunch of warnings and disclaimers.
I don’t hate Dennis, mind you. He’s just pissed me off. I’m upset with him still. I guess it’s a chip on my shoulder but I did sincerely want him to be a part of my life. Shane too.
I had another dream (or maybe it was part of the same dream). A random guy left me a voice message saying Shane told a bunch of random people to add me and gave my information out to the world. This is where these two Twitch people came from. I was very concerned at first, but I laughed it off later. I stopped accepting friend requests, though.
I wonder if I’ve ever done that irl. I try to remember back in my propaganda days. I don’t think I ever encouraged a group of people to harass one person, but I have publicly shamed people. My niece, for example, who is a few years younger than me. She basically stole over 800 dollars from me. That’s a long story, though.
Adela gave me a card saying, “Merry Xmas from Max and I.
Yaya + [Quickly drawn picture of a mustache and a paw print]”
This card had a 50 dollar bill inside. That was nice of her. I love the representation of Max. He’s a little schnauzer so he always has a little mustache. Super cute dog. He doesn’t have a mustache now because the vet trimmed EVERYTHING but his eyebrows, but it’s basically a staple for him.
I didn’t get Adela a card. Rather, I got her a present that I left on her bed. It’s this short, faux fur coat. I got one for my mom and she loves it. I wanted to get one for Ariel. Hell, I might randomly send one to Esther. It’s a really cute coat. Ironically, it costs 50 dollars. If I get one for Ariel, it’ll be red with black trim. That’s the same style I got Yaya and my mom. If I get one for Esther, it’ll be blue or black. The trim doesn’t change color.
Probably a bad idea to gift women the same article of clothing as other women, but it’s still nice.
I know it’s weird that I’m thinking of getting Esther something but her birthday is coming up. If I send it, it’ll come from a “Mysterious Stranger” which will be a reference to Fallout. Or something, I don’t know yet. Honestly, I probably won’t even do it. It’s nice to think about though.
Still, backing up a minute it’s weird that I want to get her a gift! She has made it clear that she wants me out of her life and I know she’ll never come back. In fact, she thinks I’m a Narcissist. Surely, I’m doing this because I’m trying to convince her to come back!
No. Again, it’s been a tough life for her. Last year, she was in a bad situation. Her birthday was not so good. Two days after, we met in person. It’s been a tough year in general, but especially for her. I think she’d like it. However, if she asks me about it then I’ll deny it. If she thinks it’s from me she’ll throw it away. It’s $50 and I don’t intend to just throw that money away if she doesn’t at least try it on. x.x
Whoops! I accidentally ordered it, just to see if I can change the Address and place a gift tag on it! Unfortunately, Amazon is SO FUCKING STREAMLINED, that it just ordered the fucking coat and it would have sent here. D’oh!
Fortunately, I was able to cancel it immediately. I don’t get charged until it ships so my bank won’t see anything from it. Phew. I can’t afford it right now. I can’t afford ANYTHING right now. At least, I can’t afford anything on my card. ><
Embarrassing.
I’ll look into sending mysterious packages when I can afford it. Of course, she’ll know it’s me. I’ll figure it out. Shouldn’t be hard. Just… whoops. I probably will wait until next Christmas, honestly. So, I guess this Tumblr won’t see the end result.
Oh, last night. Last night, I drank so much water at once I thought I was going to vomit. Very bad idea. Today, I woke up with slightly chapped lips and my urine didn’t show any signs of being overly hydrated. I guess I go through a lot of water naturally.
Just cooked some eggs with corn and seasoned with pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. The top three. It wasn’t in a sandwich but it was covered in ketchup. It was a good Christmas dinner, even if it were more a breakfast meal. Esther cooks her eggs with shredded cheese mixed in before scrambling it, sort of like what I do with corn. I considered cooking my eggs like that but I don’t have shredded cheese. That and I usually through the end result onto a sandwich with sliced cheese, spinach, and onions (though the recent eggs have had the onion cooked in them). I don’t have ANY of that right now. But I have plenty of eggs. :D
I think I’ll cook an Esther breakfast for myself soon. Just to see if it’d work with corn, really. If it doesn’t, then I won’t cook like that again but I doubt it’d be totally significant.
I’ve been thinking of Esther a lot lately. It’s not a bad thing; I’m remembering her fondly. I couldn’t help to while cooking the eggs, though. I won’t cook for her again, so I’ll cherish when she cooked for me here. Before the event, I cooked for her a bit. Nothing spectacular, mac and cheese or mashed potatoes. Super easy stuff, nothing complicated.
I just tested to see if Tumblr has a character limit. It doesn’t. I posted the entire thing up until now to Tumblr on the blog I made for Esther a while back. I deleted it after so no one will be able to see it. The reason I tested it was to see how simple it’d be for my friend to post these things. I’ll tell her to use the find function to find “Contact” and because that’s attached to every post. Those are the titles of the entries, after all.
Basically, I’m trying to keep this as simple as possible for her. Will she read all these? Maybe. But I do think she’ll follow through. I’ll make two copies of this. One will be for posting to Tumblr. I think it’d be better for her to copy the daily posts and then IMMEDIATELY delete it. The second will be for back up. If she deletes too much or whatever, it can get mended easily.
Yesterday at work. I just remembered. I wasn’t supposed to be on a register but I was helping out as I could. The line was long so I got on the second register. My manager at the time, a short Mexican woman who is about my age, was on that register. I got on it and started ringing people up. Then she comes up and takes over.
Before she does, she grabs me by my sides, hands a bit higher than my waist to move me. It’s very gentle and I didn’t realize it at first. Then, I saw it. I threw my arms out and yelled, “I’m flying, Jack!” It was great. I was impressed by how quickly I assessed the situation and remembered the quote. Like, it was lightning fast considering my dumbed down reflexes.
I actually steal a lot of my jokes. Usually from Zero Punctuation, lately from Soviet Womble, but this? This was something that I had a chance to do and I took it. I forgot about it because the day was pretty rough, but it was… so good. I was fortunate to have a chance to do something like that. I didn’t have to go out of my way for a joke, it was just the right moment at the right time.
Anyways, watching a movie. Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I won’t go into a full review like I did with the children’s movies. Thing is, this movie is supposed to be rather underrated. It’s very artsy. That’s something I’ve been wanting to see. My favorite quote thus far is when this Italian gentleman asked Bill Murray’s character what the scientific purpose of killing one of an endangered species of shark. He awkwardly sat there for a moment and said, “Revenge.”
I’m reminded that tigers who were wronged would seek revenge. I read that somewhere on Facebook, probably inaccurate but it’s very likely considering tigers are big housecats. I feel animals are very human. I shared yesterday a picture talking about how ravens were trading money for bread. Or were they crows?
Crows. Still, they are very intelligent creatures. They understand the value of currency and use it to make purchases. Very peculiar, no? And they’re making this trade with humans. I’m sure it’s not the first time there was an exchange of currency between two different species, but it’s certainly impressive. Animals can learn such brilliant things. And I think I mentioned how ants enslave other ant colonies and those slaves sometimes fight back and rebel.
The more we look at the behaviors of animals, the more we’ll see the behaviors of man. After all, the only thing separating us from the animal kingdom is that we wear pants. Even then, we always try to find a way to take them off again.
Anyways, the movie is paused right now. His entirely named crew all wear red hats (or a turban for one character), sort of like a uniform. The gentleman who died at the beginning, spoilers btw, was named Esteban. Esteban is basically Spanish for Steven (or Stephen, in my case). My mom calls me Esteban, for example.
The artsy style is very peculiar, it’s clear that it’s intentionally like that. The Crayon Ponyfish Seahorse doesn’t exist, mind you… so I wonder if this is in the head of a child named Steven. Or perhaps Mr Zissou went crazy and is personifying those around him. I like this film already because it’s making me think.
So, the creatures are all craft projects, at least from the ones we saw. CGI designed to look like it. And of course, this documentary is so renowned! It attracts nobility and one such of these renowned individuals was knighted in Portugal by the Presidente. I don’t think Portugal knights people, mostly because… well, Presidente. They knight people in the United Kingdom, but they still have an aristocracy.
The way the camera shots are presented, the earlier scene where the documentary’s part one began, it had a very steady shot showing Steve Zissou in the middle of the ocean with red eyes for… hydrogen poisoning or something? Not sure. But I feel it’s reminiscent of older movies that fixed their shots on characters crying, even when there is so much movement in the scene itself. That image would still be very still.
Not sure if that’s related to the theory that this is all in someone’s head. I mean, the character was splashing and struggling in the water moments prior but everything was calmed and I think even the equipment was removed to show that he had red eye. Very still. And with the idea that everyone has a signature red hat and uniform mostly as well as the character who died basically had the same name as the titular character… well, I just feel there is something to that. Maybe it’ll get revealed. I’m only like… 15 minutes in maybe?
I can’t watch now because my cousin is vacuuming and cleaning. Honestly, I should clean as well. I have to clean the bathrooms and do the dishes which was one of the reasons I cooked myself eggs. May as well if I’ll do the dishes right after, amirite? But I have plenty of time. It’s only 6:48 at the time of writing.
I’ll stay up, tend to my chores. I’ll clean up my workspace down here. I’ll get it organized before tomorrow. I’ll set an alarm for 10 and wake up relatively early, regardless of how well I sleep. Which, last night, I didn’t sleep well. I kept coughing. And I thought of Esther a lot. But I coughed more.
When Adela is done vacuuming, I’ll continue the movie. After the movie, I’ll get to work.
Just finished… it was a good movie. It was funny yet it was also sad. It was blunt yet it was also sharp. It was a very surprising movie. Honestly, I don’t care for my theory. I was enthralled. It’s a shame the movie was so underrated. I felt that it was… art.
The Grand Budapest Hotel. I saw that movie as well, a long time ago. It was very good. I’m looking up Wes Anderson films and I was surprised he made that one. Isle of Dogs is a movie that Wes Anderson is making it seems. It’s a movie that I wanted to take Esther to, even during the event. Unfortunately, the fissure was grand enough to drive us apart. My doing, of course, but still. I will find the time to go to the theatres. I shall watch it along, carrying her image in my heart.
We watched… several movies after the event. Two, both were terrible but fun. We went to the theatre and everything. I tried to get her to watch Schindler’s List but… we fell asleep. We fucked first, but we slept afterwards. Weird to think about fucking during a holocaust movie.
I don’t remember how it happened. I was emotional and I was happy to hear she’d give me a second chance. She read the contract that punished me, of course. Maybe I was too happy. Weird, I know.
When I find the chance, I’ll watch the Grand Budapest Hotel again. Netflix doesn’t have it, unfortunately, but it might have a crap version on Youtube. I’ll give it a look soon. Adela is doing more chores, I need to go to the bathroom and then do the dishes, and there are fireworks which upsets the brat-dog.
Hrm… I wonder where the word “brat” comes from. I think it’s German for sausage. Thus, it’s possible that german parents would call their kids sausages because a lot of English speaking parents refer to their kids similarly. On my facebook, two sets of parents refer to their daughters as a “bean” and they’re on the other side of the globe from one another, Australia and the United Kingdom. Sausage is sorta similar to a bean, and I guess a baby wrapped up looks similar to a bean/sausage. Thus, calling someone a brat is just calling them a sausage. But it’s more calling them a child because the child is a sausage.
To me, of course, brat is a term of endearment. It’ll probably change to something else later on. Not necessarily to me but to society’s standards. The meanings of words tend to bend and evolve, like that. However, when you force a word to change, then the meaning is strengthened. It must be an accepted change, a natural change. Don’t try to force a word to mean something else. People will think you’re an idiot.
So, I suspect that in the future, instead of “Brat” people will call other immature people “Beans.” Interesting theory, eh?
Just spoke to Ariel. She went out with friends and ended up saving a dog. Not sure if adopted or what. Sent me a picture of her with this rather large dog. Hope it’s okay. Wonder what happened.
