#despite our best efforts

[nerrissadevampyre]

I no longer have twitter but like i need to scream this somewhere at almost 3 am and it's not a socially accepted hour to just call your besties so;

Ancient greek is either the language of the gods themselves or absolutely batshit crazy, there's no in between and sometimes both of these statements are true at the same time at the same freaking sentence and strangely enough i am not mad at the language itself but damn do i wish my future didn't depend on it fr

#GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK

Lynx, buddy, friend, internet acquaintance... I ask this with all respect and some nonseriousness but did you have to reawaken the Kingdom Hearts 2 memory of THAT FIGHT where Phil would not shut up?

Yes, yes I absolutely did have to. GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK must never be forgotten.

i think it's actually going to drive me crazy how I've never heard this quote from les mis before and how much it's taken over my mind of late

To be a saint is the exception; to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just.

Sin as little as possible—that is the law of mankind. Not to sin at all is the dream of the angel. All earthly things are subject to sin. Sin is like gravity.

sin is like gravity!!!

it's just like have you ever read a series of words that simultaneously end your life and then restart it again but with a whole new meaning

SIN IS LIKE GRAVITY

Hey guys, if you could pray for me and my parents I'd be really grateful. The last cat in our old brigade, Tansy, is almost 15 and at the end of her days. She tends to get sick from allergies during the spring and she's had a rough winter and she's just, she's not going to make it through this time and she's been SUCH a good cat her whole life that we're not gonna let her suffer through it to the end. We're hoping we can get an appointment to get her put down tomorrow (that sounds awful saying it, but she's miserable and I can't watch her suffer she doesn't deserve that), so we would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

In less than 6 months, I went from having three cats to only having one.

I want to go back to this time last year, when none of them were sick, let alone gone.

at this point I think there are regulars at the show because like. We do have a couple moments where the actors prompt the audience to react a certain way, to chant Long live the king! or to boo. At one point, and this started as a natural audience thing but then the narrator now starts the chant every time, people begin to hype Phillippe up to take over the throne from Louis XIV etc

But this thing of shouting 'guillotine' has happened 5 times totally organically

Me, at midnight: ok guys I’m gonna go to bed now

FC leader: …MSQ roulette?

Me: bed.

FC leader: raid roulette?

Me: ok, that should be fine

the game: *15min est queue*

Me: goodnight then!

SMN-main friend: wait, I can switch to AST

the game: *11min est queue*

Me: byeeeeee

the game, immediately: *queue pops*

Me: oh! sweet! who are we—

the game: Alphascape V3.0

Me: Omega! Okay this—

the game: *the other healer leaves with no explanation*

Everyone: oh no.

the game: *we proceed to wipe several times until finally another healer arrives to save us and we win*

Me, finally finished at one in the morning: we should have fucking done MSQ roulette

I'm lonely.

I've been in this city for about 20 months now and... I guess it would be disingenuous to say I haven't made any friends. There's some coworkers (mostly former coworkers now) I get on with, and I've even had them over a couple times to chat and play a video game. But it's very rare, and I'm once again in the position where it's an I always need to be the one setting everything up situation. Not once have they ever suggested hanging out first.

I recognize how you meet new people. Just go to the same place consistently, do the same activity consistently. After a day at work, though, I don't feel much like going anywhere. Don't feel much like spending money at a place consistently (and most places you can go cost money). And I'm still about the only person I know who masks in public regularly, and I don't really like going places if I don't at least know people are vaxxed. Getting more and more difficult to ask about that, especially given the... political climate where I live.

I can still do things online with my friends back home. It's fun, I enjoy it. Have all these board games up here though that don't get played. I had hoped at least since I lived in the same place I'd see my cousins more often. It is more often, I guess, more often than the once or twice a year before, but it's not exactly... common. And it's unfair of me, but now I'm annoyed at one of them. Messaged her and her sister separately about getting together for board games. Got told by her (still haven't heard from her sister) that it's difficult because their schedules don't line up. I said to her they could come over different times, doesn't have to be together. I know her sister usually drives them, but I can drive, as I told her. And now I hear that she's meeting my roommate to do some activities on Saturday while I've got an online game. I don't begrudge them that per se, they're allowed to do stuff without me, but there's something about meeting my roommate in person for stuff and brushing aside my offer. I'm sure it's not like that, but... I'm lonely.

My roommate will occasionally play a board game with me, but in the evenings he's more inclined to watch a movie. I like watching movies on occasion, but...

Brought three board games back from my last trip home. Bought another one a couple weeks back. Feels like I've been overly optimistic. Feel that way every time I open grindr too.

Do I just go back home after this? Been telling people who asked I wasn't sure. There's something nice about being out here. And much as I complain about my current job, I don't want to have to try and find another one. But I'm nearly 20 months in. And I'm fucking lonely.

I need more people who message me first. Who hit me up to chat before I message them. Who ask if I want to hang out before I have to ask them. Mentally, I'm better than I was ten years ago, even five years ago, but there's still a little voice ready to enumerate all my faults and mistakes and to tell me I'm not wanted. If I'm always the one who has to make the plans, to remind people I exist and want to see them...

I take all my breaks at work alone now. The other coworkers I used to go on break with have left. The one that's still here... well, at first I might have said it was because they were on us to follow the break schedule. But she takes all her breaks with her other friend now, despite his break being scheduled later than mine. Even when we were down to just the three of us, she took break with him and asked our supervisor to get someone to cover while they went, whereas before she got annoyed with people taking breaks in a way that didn't provide coverage.

Yeah, I can give people a smile or a laugh or some fries, but do they actually want to hang out with me? Rationally, I know they do, but tonight's a bad night, and I'm lonely.

And how do I tell people that part of me feels unwanted because people don't message first without it sounding like a guilt trip? I've been guilted before, and it feels awful. I don't want people to feel guilty, and I definitely don't want them to feel like they have to reach out to me as an obligation. Just want... I dunno, assurance that I'm not just there, not just a warm body to fill a place.

I'm lonely.

Captain!Mitsuru is like yes she's a girlboss from afar. Like whenever she appears on TV or at a public conference whatever, she is so confident and a true leader, and when the Phantom Thieves meet her for the first time, they're intimidated by her (in a scary hot woman way). She's def matured a lot from her high school days.

But don't get me wrong this woman is a girlfail. She is my wet pathetic milf. She's crying in her office when she thinks no ones looking. Yes she has a loving wife but she's dealing with the horrors (Kirijo Group sins still biting her in the ass)

Me: i know i'm being irrational, i'm just upset and scared because of the lack of control i feel over my situation, i know zodiac isn't real and it doesn't actually mean anything, i don't really believe in superstitious nonsense like that, it's all just fun and games for me, that magical mumbo-jumbo doesn't actually matter at all

Me a few minutes later: there, i did a tarot reading about it and the cards set me straight! i feel a lot better now :)
