#counting down the days to that trip
Text
was telling a friend about the double today and got to the part where jiang li stops xue fangfei from killing herself by saying she has to live because she can't get revenge if she's dead. and my friend was like wait what french novel does this remind me of? and i was like babe. it reminds you of the count of monte cristo. the double is better though.
#SOURCE: I SPENT THREE MONTHS OF MY LIFE READING THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO TO MYSELF OUT LOUD#<-thing i never shut up about#no but i had such a great time reading the count of monte cristo. the double is better though 😇#i mean really they can't be compared and cmc is better at many things but i am currently watching and obsessed with the double#so that is what is most important to me at this moment in time lol#anyway i WILL put this in the cmc tag because i do think people who like cmc may like the double#it's a chinese drama airing currently and available with english subs on viki and youku <3#may i also suggest to cmc fans. nirvana in fire. which is another chinese drama available on viki. and one of the greatest shows of our age#the double#the count of monte cristo#my posts#anyway we took a beach day trip AND I GOT FARMSTAND STRAWBERRIES!!! the most important thing about summer day trips#actually my friend got them for me because. i couldn't walk properly lol#we got rained on and then i made the mistake of sitting down to eat my lunch. which caused me to lose much of my range of motion#in my leg muscles. because in my old age if i get cold and stop walking my hips and quads stop working <3 i love having a physical form <3#she wanted to go to another seaside town afterward and i was like once i get in that car i am not going to be able to get back out#so we are in it for keeps until we get to my building babe

I’m back home from vacation now. Still chilling today before I’m back to work tomorrow but I’m simultaneously feeling very well rested and absolutely exhausted.
Can’t wait to jump back into art feeling refreshed! The art galleries I went to while away were very inspirational, a lot of them had absolutely stunning lighting in them and I’m absolutely going to be using some of those as mood images for my next piece.
#for the first time ever I had my cane with me on vacation#and while it can only do so much for a 13000 daily step count and I could barely walk by the last day of the trip#I’m not actually in any residual pain just sitting down like I would be if I hadn’t brought it#so that’s a win!

I finally (after 5 attempts in 6 months) have managed to register Nova with the AKC without being interrupted and having the form time out - and I can't even apply for her trick titles with the Canine Partners number they just gave me!?
To some extent, I would understand if she were purebred, but do you really think I'm going to fake a 100% "All American Dog"???
(I don't even like that name...)
Come on, they would let me apply for the trick titles if I applied for the CP number with them :(
My motivation is limited and your website is aversive. Just let me do everything at once
Anyway, hopefully she'll officially have her CGC in the next however many business days
#See you all again in 4 more months when I am complaining about finally filing for the trick titles she earned in February#damn it#I was just going to slide it under the July budget (since we abandoned the budget this month because everyone had their annual vet trip and#both humans had ER visits)#if I don't see it#it doesn't count right? but noooo#no little treat for me#ugh why is it so stupid expensive to buy a few letters once you've already done all the work for them#(well except the work of using their stupid website)#I assume the title forms will be easier#I won't have to track down her gotcha day or her microchip number or make sure I don't mess up her registered name#or look up what the fuck her AKC color is supposed to be#IDK went with 'agouti and white' because there's no regular agouti#but that's not what I think of when I hear agouti & white#I speak

Anyway. 150 days left until I see TMBG.
#i already counted down 150 days. and 100 days left until i see them before#but the tour was postponed a full year so we're doing this again#it was going to be my first 'proper' concert but due to the delay i got the chance to already go to two other concerts earlier this year#they were both amazing and exactly the type of thing that's been missing in my life before as it turns out#i'm very glad i went and they really made me even more excited for this upcoming one#because now i can kind of imagine what it might look like#just seeing all these people with their band shirts was such an amazing moment#i can't really imagine seeing dozens of people in tmbg shirts even though it IS going to happen#and that's mostly because i have met ONE tmbg fan in real life#and overall it's incredible how completely unheard of they seem to be where i live#all those music store sellers who are like 'who???' when i ask them about tmbg#at least there was this one guy who not only knew who sparks are#but also told me all about annette and who plays in it and where to watch it#so yeah. still feels far away but maybe i can already start getting excited again. this time it's gotta happen#and my london trip!! and first plane flight!! it's gonna be so fun#i've been waiting for this for a year and a half already auughhhh#when the time for my dream trip finally arrives i won't be shutting up about it for even a day#goosepost

alexa play take the long way home by supertramp.......................
#i just want to be home so bad..............home being the other side of the planet#i realise how silly and privileged this sounds.#i wish i could appreciate where i am more but im just so tired. and too poor for this. im tired of having panic attacks about money#i was way too polite to say no to this huge trip that i really could not afford and i wish i'd have put my foot down from the start#its all my own fault really for letting myself into this situation#feels a massive shame to be spending what is an extremely expensive once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just counting the days till i can go hom#but that is what i am doing. trying to make what money i have left last#i miss dorset so bad. when im in england i hate it but when im away i miss its soft hills

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 10: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should join the travelers on the larger river boat for a short lunch ...
~
"Before he even fully musters the courage to shout a 'hello', the large group on the boat initiates contact first, gleefully waving at him, whooping and shouting as they near his tiny raft in the water. Apparently, some of them were betting over whether they'd actually find any other travelers out on the river today.. He fumbles over his words a bit, as always, but somehow manages to successfully get himself invited onto their boat for a quick lunch..
After safely securing his raft to the side of the boat with some spare rope, he climbs aboard, stumbling into the excitement of some sort of celebration. A few of them explain that they're traveling for 'kahesallei', an old elven holiday recently re-popularized in some of the larger cities nearby. Whatever it's true meaning and origins used to be, the current significance (at least to those within the city walls) seems to just be mindless feasting, drinking, and gaudy decor. Most of the traveling group are strangers to each other, only brought together by catching a ride on the same tour/party boat, but the mood is light, quite friendly between them, and perhaps a bit drunk.
While the boat itself is relatively plain wood, it's been strewn with gold and orange banners, flags, shimmery tassels, beads, and bushels of dark green ivy braided with fresh herbs and wildflowers. There are flat round tables of food and drink, plenty of cushions to lounge on, and one random guy perched precariously on the edge railing of the boat, gently strumming a lute for background music..
The elderly ship captain hobbles over to The Adventurer, sternly explaining that, no matter what the 'silly' passengers say, he's only allowed to stay for an hour because he didn't pay for a boat ride ticket, and thus really shouldn't even be allowed on board. By the time The Adventurer has mentally processed this information, the captain has already returned to his little steering room, slamming the door shut with a displeased grunt.. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to confront him or question the rules...... But! Hey, at least he has one hour at the party.. How should he spend his time? "
~
Additional Information
the adventurer's current main goal: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has
#paventure posting#polls#poll#choose your own adventure#LATE AGAIn I know.. I'm still in my weird unproductive spell. literally I've had the same 5 to do list items on my list#for 2 weeks now. I can't even do five simple things in 2 weeks lol. I did start some new supplements and change my diet since#my doctors are still trying to sort out what health issues are going on or etc. so maybe it's something with that#like accidentally on the new diet I'm not getting enough calories or not getting enough of some vitamin or something so it's made me oddly#brain foggy and just really tired and unable to focus well for the past few weeks or something..? ANYWYA. not really sure what#it is specifically but my functioning in terms of actually focusing on and completing tasks has been a lot worse . thus#chronically behind on things. which I am always chronically behind on things in some sense since I always have like 7000 projects#I'm working on at the same exact time and etc. lol. but like.. even more chronically behind than usual .. ToT#ANYWAY.. I'm suprised that the 'try to get a ride on the boat' option didn't get that many votes actually lol#Like.. treveling down a river in a tiny handmade raft is probably.. not extremely safe or efficient lol#But at least he gets to have lunch there. Just the hour that he's on the boat doing whatever will get him a lot further because the boat#is moving faster than his raft would be. It should still get him out of the river and back on track sooner. Because he still has a long way#to go to get to the abandoned castle. I know it's been a lot of days since I'm not keeping up well with actually doing these#daily or every other day - but technically in the story it's only been a little over a day since he left the Inn#The first day he just walked. the second day he saw there was a barrier in his path. then spent half the day building a boat. and now he'e#*he's where he is now. The trip is roughly 4 days and he's like.. a little over halfway through his second. Not counting any detours or#distractions he might run into. But at least at this pace he should be off the river before it starts to get dark#Thate the main thing. you want to get a good rest on solid ground. ideally. So long as nothing strange happens on the boat#but yeah! day 10.. of little elf man adventure... ALSO he is like early 20s I imagine. so he can drink hbhjbjh#I know the 'very quick simple ms paint style' is kind of chibi-ish so it makes people look young but he's not a boy#don't worry. I didnt want it to seem weird like some 10 year old kid walking into a party of drunk 30 year olds#like a toddler hanging out in a night club or whatever. It's safe and okay for him to be there. just for the record. lol#I mean maybe not SAFE safe. it's still a boat of like.. rowdy party goers who could easily fall over the edge into the water or whatever bu#but like.. safe in the sense that he's not a 6 year old being offered vodka by strangers at a party. etc.#despite his goofy nervous demeanor and chronic baby face syndrome he is indeed an actual adult somehow ghbj

People on here hit reblog on every post about how difficult phone calls are then call people who have difficulty commenting on fics assholes and say "there are no excuses"
Do you not understand how anxiety works?
#ao3#anxiety#look. i GET that it's frustrating but insulting people is not how you do it and actively makes it worse#anxiety does not make sense. at all. which you obviously KNOW#first time i ever commented on a fic was in the ffnet days. author stopped updating immediately after#could it have been in any way my fault? no. but i also have severe anxiety#even worse OCD with all the intrusive and obsessive thoughts that come with#and enough self loathing that i will blame myself for anything#and your constant scolding is not helping but actively making my anxiety about commenting WORSE#I'm not talking about people who say how much they appreciate comments or the ones who give templates of how to comment. i love those people#@ whoever said <3 is a good enough comment i will kiss you if i ever see you#actually ocd#actually anxious#i feel bad about adding those but fuck it this counts as anxiety struggles#and they might be too far down to search either#please stop guilt tripping people

bruhh the world really hates me this week
#let's see what happened? what hell did I go through?#we were down 12 people this week on the team- so we had two 12-hour work days#my body hurts and my feet are blistered- and I was assigned to help my supervisor wrap up in equipment for the week#which I barely got training on#yesterday I accidentally tripped the emergency fire exit alarm in walmart cause my dumbass didn't watch where I was going#which caused me to have a meltdown which I was trying VERY hard to hold back and not sob my eyes out in front of my boss#My belt buckle broke while I was working today so I had to stop and shop for a new one#I tripped and ate shit while packing the equipment cases into my supervisor's hotel room last night#my leg gave out from under me when I tried to stand up after counting a shelf in grocery and I rolled my ankle#I got lost when my supervisor told me to take the equipment to the back room#I had to stop and ask two walmart employees where it was located- neither of them knew#I've been overstimulated since first break this morning#I got so many scratches on my arrms from counting pegs in apparel and those bitches are so sharp they'd make my therapist concerned#aaaand while wrapping up equipment there was a bike hung up on a shelf and I ran face-first into the handlebar and I bent my glasses frames#so now I gotta get those fixed#I'm quickly making my way to the top in competing for 'most directionally challenged' as my supervisor jokingly put it#I'M GONNA GO DOWN TO THE LOBBY TOMORROW MORNING AND MAKE MYSELF A WAFFLE FOR BREAKFAST#I DESERVE A TREAT

recently I've been feeling like there's been a real rut in my art and that I've hit a plateau. so out of pure boredom I gathered up all of my physical sketchbooks I could find (12) and I decided to look at the very first one which coincidentally I also did when I was...12 years old. and looking at it and comparing it to my recent art it made me feel so much better about the plateau I've found myself in. eventually there will be a time when I look back on the art I've created now and say yeah I have improved so it brings me a bit of relief
#ive been doing this whole art thing for 8 years now..even longer if you want to count 1st grade art class and i decided i was a pure genius#but ive been comparing myself a lot to other artists and feeling like my art has been going no where#which isn't the best thing to do#so it was good to take the trip down memory lane bc it was a reminder that i am getting better and that my pace is fine lol#who knows what my art will become in another 8 years!!!#anyways i finsihed sketchbook 11 two days ago and i was quite happy bc that sketchbokk lasted over 4 fucking years so lets think about that#10 other sketchbooks i used in 4 years...WHY😭#bee vibes#im becoming too introspective i think its the realization that i hit 20 next month sinking in and im officially no longer TEEN.#i want to tie that into my art too so many feelings there#one of the ways to feel good is ive just been holding my pencil like someone holding a paintbrush up to the canvas to compare proportion#and it was reallyy fun#felt really fluid

Tripitaka constantly asking for food, especially in the earlier chapters, reminds me that he was possibly about 18-20 at the beginning of the journey.
A little beyond the true bottomless pit stage, sure, but maybe not quite outside it yet.
#jttw personal#food tw#this on top of being a relatively sheltered temple monk suddenly on an international cross-country trip#on horseback!#that his body was in no way prepared for. absolutely SHOCKED at his new calorie requirements.#someone teach tripitaka to forage so he can graze en route#I don't care if manual labor makes him squeamish#shove some self-sufficiency down his throat for his own good#he's not eating enough#all that constant traveling and he's consuming like. a single bowl of rice one day. a couple peaches the next.#swk who's subsisted on inedible metals for 500 years and doesn't actually NEED to eat or drink to survive: that's probably enough right?#just think of monkey king trying to keep a whole teenager fed though like damn rip buddy#(disclaimer: obviously tripitaka is FINE and - like the toilet - we are probably not meant to think about how bodily needs are being met-)#(-unless it's plot relevant. Counterpoint: I find this funny.)#(Give Sun Wukong A Raise Agenda)#(Tripitaka Learn To Feed Yourself Agenda)#(Your Diet Is ATROCIOUS (in true university-aged young adult fashion. to be fair.) But That Doesn't Mean It SHOULD Be)#(No Making Your Disciples Do All The Work For You Doesn't Count)#(Get Back Here And Be A Good Example To Your Students Young Man)

Pokeddexy 2023 | day 30: Best Shiny
shiny Vulpix is the first shiny pokemon I hatched ever, evolved her into a Ninetales as quick as I can and holy crap I love the purple shades on her
#Nona the Ninetales#She's an old business woman and a massive shopaholic#Like sure she can control herself when she's around people but when she's alone she's going ALL OUT#This is just one of her smaller trips cause if you let her go in a mall for one whole day#She's gonna come home with enough clothes for a whole week#pokemon gijinka#pokemon#pokémon#pokeddexy 2023#pokeddexy#ninetales#pokemon fanart#fanart#Ally's OCs#art#(simple bg cause I gave up after suffering trying to draw all the damn fur)#(if you count all of the fur going down from her + her legs you can make it to 9)#(OK. ONE MORE DAY)
