I love writing
#I finally wrote some words again! a thousand of them!#at the expense of eating dinner but#it's fine. it's fine.#I want to keep writing but I'm at the scrolling up and down the word doc stage#aka I'm sleepy and unfocused#anyway please please please @ myself finish this one#it IS fun having seven million WIPs but like. dammit I just think it would be cool to finish one for once#the last thing I finished was... probably a play in 2020. and it was only finished bc it got a virtual stage reading#but I wasn't like. super into it anyway#anyway

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
#star trek#Vulcans#Humans#not based on a specific thing#but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’#who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field?#like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq#and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first#would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate#and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for#and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance#the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times#they were just dicks#and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it.#it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible#you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier#but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks.#that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on#and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post#but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks#and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be#replaced#hated that couple#if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us#(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀)#liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people#that no one else wanted to be friends with#I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone#this got long sorry 😭

Also it looks like I’ll be taking ex-coworker out for pho this weekend, she’s never had it before :V if I’m being evil and strategic, I won’t tell her that it’s a cash only place so I can pay her back for the burger. but I suppose the fair thing to do is give her autonomy and fight over the bill on equal terms rather than having an unfair advantage.
#my ramblings#tbh it’s been pretty easy to cut takeout out of my spending habits#because I kind of hate ordering delivery#the food prices are jacked up AND you have to pay and tip the driver AND the food isn’t as fresh#I’d rather eat at a restaurant as a treat or eat with friends if it comes down to it#and also food is so expensive in the usa#I used to think a reasonable amount to spend on lunch was 10-15 and a reasonable price for dinner was 20-25#nowadays the prices aren’t that…#any time I see the price of a cucumber roll I wince#that guy used to be $4 tops what do you mean it’s being sold for $5-6#also also I never trust delivery from a restaurant I haven’t been to#in fact I barely trust delivery from a restaurant I *HAVE* been to#there’s a place that only does hash browns for the breakfast menu#like grated potato hash browns#I love when the potatoes are grated. I hate grating potatoes for hash browns but it tastes so good.#ANYWAY I paid the STUPID upcharged price for delivery#and it came COLD#so fucking mad. I’ll never order delivery from that place again.#I’ll go to eat tho I haven’t been there in a while#it’s a little fancy. not like folded napkin fancy but farm to table fancy.#eating out at a restaurant last weekend was like ‘yeah I do enjoy this :) especially going to restaurants I enjoy :)’

Norwegian athletes reading how much money other athletes that they beat for gold will get:
#norway#they're really shafted#not even a wage for effort#olympics#at least their medical is free#jk#maybe they like it that way#eat patriotism for breakfast lunch and dinner#or as part of training expenses

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice
#like I get that you're financially stressed but also it feels a bit rich to complain about it when you're on student allowance (not loan)#and your parents still contribute to things for you even though allowance is supposed to be for people whose parents can't afford to help#and you get multiple scholarships a year even though you're technically not eligible for half of them anymore but then as soon as the money#comes in from those you spend it all on a brand new dress for your sister's hen's do picnic because you can't wear the same dress as you#will for the actual hen's night or the wedding. Better buy a full price one at an expensive store instead of looking in a single op shop or#borrowing one from one of your three sisters who are all roughly the same size#god life must be so tough for you getting the same amount of money as the rest of us on student loan except you only have to pay back half#like the only money you have to live off is the same as what the rest of us get + scholarships (plural) plus what you earnt in your summer#internship? how could you possibly survive??#anyway I am NOT a fan of people who are like 'oh you say you have no money for rent but you have a phone?' because that's bullshit#and the whole 'millenials need to stop eating avocado toast so they can buy a house' thing is also bullshit#however. If you pay $60/week for a gym when you have access to the free uni one (or any other gym in the country is like $20)#and you buy uber eats multiple times a week for like $30+ each time despite having a premade meal in the fridge. and you get multiple#scholarships which mean you are arguably among the more well off students. AND you impulse buy things that cost over $100 regularly#then maybe the problem is not that you don't have enough money to split the rental costs of a washing machine (<$3 each/week)#maybe you are just bad with money#which is fine like it's not like it's unfixable it's just annoying when you act like you're worse off than people whose only money is what#they get from student loan each week so they eat beans on rice for dinner for a week#because that's all they could afford (yes I know people who did this. Yes she complained more than them)#so no I don't think I'm gonna be taking financial advice from you babes because one of us has entertained the idea of a budget to help with#finances and it's not you xx#(she turned down offers of financial help/advice/books to borrow from multiple people multiple times. I 100% get that you might not want to#talk to people about it especially your friends but we had multiple books on finances lying around the flat which she always said she didn't#need. And then she'd continue to complain that she didn't have enough money#god forbid you suggest something like going to a cheaper gym (or worse. The perfectly fine free uni gym!)#again. Her gym cost $60/week for most of last year until they brought in a student discount which was 'only' $45/week#the next most expensive gym chain I can find costs maybe $30/week for the highest membership level#to get what she was getting she would only need like a $20 membership#BUT to be fair she wouldn't get such strong culty vibes at any other gym#lol anyway sorry for the rant. I could keep going but apparently you can only have 30 tags and this is the last one

Saying "meals under $5" that have a thousand ingredients that you only use a tiny bit of, to me, is like saying "if you have all of these in your house already it's free"
#like it's not free?#and it's DEFINITELY NOT UNDER 5 DOLLARS#i'll tell you my reasoning#these ppl who make these videos are always youtubers or influencers etc who have money and are trying to cater#+ to ppl who don't have money#but they have no fucking idea what not having money is like#yes i can buy a packet of pasta for $2 and make several dishes with it so yes it's cheaper in the long run#BUT if i only have $2 ... am i only gonna eat pasta? with nothing else?#i could go to mcdonalds with those $2 and get in the 1€ menu a cheesburger and a coke (in portugal)#(i am using the pricings in my reality but i hope it's understandable enough)#if say i only have $10 for my dinner tonight i could go buy groceries#but making this recipe would NOT cost me the 10 dollars#specially not with 10 dif sauces that are $9 each lmao#it's like 'oh you should buy more expensive boots bc they will last longer and are better quality' but#.... IF ONE PAIR COSTS 100€ AND I ONLY HAVE 30€ I CANNOT CHOOSE#i literally CANNOT choose between them because i don't have any more than 30€#getting back to the food thing i can get a full meal in a lot of restaurants in portugal for 10#10€ but i guarantee i cannot cook one dish with maybe a dessert under 10€#THESE ANNOY ME SO FUCKING MUCH I SWEAR

state of Maine is really asking me to fill out freelance forms when I make less than $10 a month & therefore according to them do not actually even qualify as a freelance worker, let alone somebody who should be filing taxes, in order to make sure my food stamps are renewed
#this is sooo stupid. the lady helping me was very understanding & basically like 'sorry i'm asking you to do this stupid thing.'#but wow! okay!#she also helped me correct my health insurance forms & took notes of all the assistance programs i'm already on to cover living expenses#& basically was like 'this is to make sure you don't have a gap in your food stamps when you go to do groceries in a couple weeks'#so i REALLY appreciate her help. this is just such a ridiculous & confusing system#ugh. i am so tired & hungry i need to eat a snack while i make dinner#dial p for post#at LEAST my health insurance coverage is all set & won't be interrupted! even with the mistake i made that went seamlessly. good job to me!

In my dream there was a reoccurring background character of a beautiful trans woman who wore these lithe maxi leather dresses with bdsm gear incorporated onto them. They were always monochromatic but never the same color. She sometimes tried to set things on fire. Who was she
#the rest of the dream was andrew and i trying to find a good place to eat and we kept circling through this beautiful mexican restaurant#with this trellis with ivy#and it was too expensive for dinner but i decided to beg my parents to let us have our wedding there#but then we found out it was a historic building founded by a fascist??????#and i resolved to turn it into a museum instean

#i don't mean to vent when i just got back on here but like#so i haven't had a midnight snack in months--just didn't feel the need--#but the night before last & last night i got a sleeve of saltines each--these were short sleeves of like 10-15#i got the box for my dad when he was sick because he asked me & it had been sitting there for maybe 3 months since & no one wanted them#but then tonight we had soup & my parents asked about the saltines & basically found out#& my dad kinda chewed me out--not about eating the last of them because there was another box they used--#but that that was way too much to eat & i eat too much & will get diabetes#which i feel just isn't true ?#without divulging too much i eat two meals a day (i don't like breakfast)--like a sandwich at lunch & then whatever me and/or my mom--#makes at dinner#maybe a snack in between but not often#& then some (like a serving size) of ice cream for dessert#like a get a lot of cravings but it's not often i act on it because food is expensive#anyways i felt so bad about what my dad was saying i started crying & he said i was being overdramatic. but i didn't finish my dinner#& now i don't even want to eat around him#i should probably just ignore him--i love him but he's one of those dads that gets so involved at work that he just wants to watch tv when--#he's off. & he thinks i'm basically the same person i was when i was eight years old--like i love mac n cheese & my favorite color is orange#but honestly i did suffer some disordered eating/body image issues in hs & i'm sure my relationship with food isn't completely healed#but it still hurts to see people think things about me that aren't that accurate#tw vent#tw disordered eating#rose.txt#To be deleted
