Russian Poetry!; Or, Birthday Gifts, Plus Some.

I studied Russian in college and, despite my Duolingo efforts, miss it, so I figured the most approachable way to Get Back Into That was to read dual-language poetry. Rationales: It's nice to have someone (read: the translator) hold your hand when you're out of practice; Poems Smaller than Novels or Short Stories and therefore bite-sized/less intimidating; I can do a couple poems a session without risking Losing The Plot like I might for fiction (and isn't that how you're supposed to enjoy poetry anyway??); I can take notes and jot down new vocab words in this handy little journal! (Do I read much poetry in English? No. Are we ignoring that? Very much yes, thanks.)

The three books on the top are Actually Dual Language, with Russian on one page and English facing. THIS IS US LOSING COUNT is contemporary, but Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva are decidedly not, so I'll be starting with LOSING COUNT.

The two on the bottom are English only, but the whopping 948-page complete Akhmatova as All Her Poems, plus context, which will definitely be helpful (the Selected Akhmatova above is a companion volume!), and the Parnok is a combination of context + translated poems and she was a lesbian, Harold.

I'm planning on making a year(s)-long (however long it takes!) study of this, and chipping at it regularly. Expect to see volumes pop up in my "Books of [Year]" posts intermittently!

#books #book photography #my photography #russian poetry #anna akhmatova #marina tsvetaeva #sophia parnok #this is us losing count #please know that the complete akhmatova came shrinkwrapped lmao #apparently 948 pages is SO Many that they wrap it separately prior to shipping haha #(selected did not have this problem)#i am excited for this! my grammar is shit and i know poetry is a fuzzy way to practice that buuuut #we'll see lmao #i want the language practice and i don't think apps are quite it for me #i mean they Help but they don't make me do deep focus #i miss the deep focus of hauling my russian copy of onegin into the library to read the nabokov translation side by side #so we'll replicate that in individual book form :)#i am gonna have to try to look up the parnok poems in russian though #i thought those were presented in this book too but i did some flipping and i think they might not be :(#will check the notes and see if i can find them online though!!

Louigan Week Day Four: Hickey/Provoke

Why I had the energy to color and shade this baby but not do line art, I’ll never know 😔

Based off @carnivaldemon and the designs she made of Louise, because they’re incredible.

#louiganweek23 #i was so excited for this prompt you don’t understand #no logan unfortunately but i had so much fun drawing louise #i wanted to practice drawing a side profile because i am usually awful at drawing side profiles

I wonder if I'll be the first person ever to gear check a pool cue at a BAA race tomorrow.

#The race starts and ends in Boston Common; pool league is in Southie; and I live on the other side of the city #It seems silly to go back to mine after the race only to turn round an hour or so later to head back in the direction I'd just come from #so I might as well bring my cue with me and head to pool early to get some practice in #This is me #I'm excited for the new route this year!!

After jumping the gun by over a year and making such a mess of the initial draft that I had to scrap the entire thing, I have finally written a functional chapter outline for working title Ain't Your Fairytale.

#teruyo talk #i was gonna say it's a short multichapter but with 10 chapters + epilogue this may actually be on the long side for me #yeah planning helps whoda thunk #(actually most of the events from the scrapped draft are still here just with hopefully better pacing)#i really need to practice writing longer narratives so i'm pretty excited #and it's weird to think this may well be my f- nevermind #anyway i scheduled actually writing this thing for next year #i still have my hands full with drafts written in 2023 #work is about to kick my butt but i hope to finish a couple of things this year still #all the best to you and if you write yourself i wish you extra good writing mojo for the following month #and if not best of luck with your other endeavours instead

thinking about how the other day I felt happiness for the first time in a long time (like happiness about where I am at in life and joy for my future plans. Like I was working 8-4:30 and I was thinking about how I was going to do a few ubereats runs until 6ish after and then come home and get to write and crack open my kung fu binder again that I've been working with to prove to myself I'm ready to go back)

usually I just feel content at like a 5 sometimes if I go to a concert or whatever it can get up to 6,7,8. but that's it

and I have that persistent depression disorder. that i never remember how to spell.

So you can imagine my surprise when i genuinely just felt happy and at peace? And i had mania by fob album stuck in my head. life was good.

I then got sucker punched by my physical health symptoms that were really bad and almost collapsed and could not hold myself up so I was leaning on a cart not moving when it hit 4:30. And did not do anything that I planned to after work because of it.

BUT

the key is i felt happiness for the first time in forever.

#and the thing is I think it was because I finally decided it might be time for me to go back to kung fu after taking a year and a half off #because I quit because I couldn't get myself to go to lessons and then I also couldn't get myself to practice outside of class #PLUS at the time I had just started medication for my panic attacks had recently developed a tic disorder #and was working at a job that was slowly killing me #and I was really just trying to figure my shit out #(the last day I was really able to meaningfully attend was for my belt test that I passed but I had a massive panic midway through because #I had also started zoloft that day and it didn't occur to me taking a kung fu test designed to mimic a fight and breed endurance in a fight #aka get my heartrate up would be a bad idea with starting zoloft designed to slow my heart rate)#but the thing about kung fu is it was always something that brought so much joy and happiness #if I was struggling to get there I'd come home and be so energized and excited and happy #and I think I'm finally in a place where I can have it back? (idk juries still out on the health issues)#because I spent all of 2023 working on myself and my mental health and I quit my old job this past september #and I have a new job #plus a direction in life??? like I'm stage managering for some bands at a fest #and then later stage managering for a renn faire #while I'm working part time at target #and finally retail isn't my main gig (i used to be full time) but the side gig to take me where I want to go #And like recently I ran into someone from kung fu while I was working and they were so excited to see me #and I want to go back so bad because it's nice to know that she and a couple other people (she mentioned I was brought up recently) still #remember me and wonder where I went even a year and a half later

i really do love practicing 🎻

#i'm in music school so now it's a much more significant source of my already very significant fears #but practicing only feels stressful when i don't do it enough and i'm trying to 'catch up'#some weeks fly past me like hurricanes and i get to my lesson and i can't say i've made any progress and that fucks me up #and i don't think that's ever going away- like i'll always have weeks like that cuz everyone has bad days and bad weeks #from time to time #but when i plan correctly (which is becoming more and more the norm for me) my practicing is something im really proud of :)#i have a System. i didn't do very well before i had it and i would die without it now.#i get excited about learning! i get excited having realizations abt things to change or work on when i practice!#it feels experimenty a lot of the time and i like it!!!#i have a lot of catching up to do in terms of comparing myself to others but i'm not here for them i'm here for me #i will do my best and i will learn from others of course but my goals are to make my Me better first and worry abt other people later #i won't lose sight of that #<- and when it doesn't feel experimenty it can be calming to just be like okay ik what i need to do now just. Practice. Repeat.#i mean music is a fucking rollercoaster and sometimes you are at the bottom and i hate that but it comes w the territory #sometimes you're just Stuck but you do get past it and in those moments i just try to think back to previous times ive felt like that #ive felt horribly shitty before and gotten through it and come out the other side slightly better!#life is like that i think #anyways. hashtag iris loves music and being a musician 🙄 nothing new over here hehe

I went birthday shopping and LOOK

New Knife.

Spring assisted, very sharp, I love it SOOOO much already. A lil expensive, but worth it, I think. Since I haven't been able to find a proper butterfly knife online, I guess a butterfly design will have to do lol

#speculation nation #knives #i got some other things too but they dont matter as much #ok that's a lie i got some blue heart shaped shades that im kinda excited about #idk when i'll wear them but i have them now. they also had pink but blue is more my color idk #anyways. BUTTERFLY KNIFE.#i think im gonna make this my new bedroom knife. not that im moving the previous bedroom knife from my side table #but im going to put this one there too. and probably use it first.#just look at it. it's so pretty. it's so sharp. i love it soooo much.#it's practically customary by this point for me to buy a knife for myself for my birthday #also dice. i should look for a nice new set after i get paid 🤔#dice and knives. my two main collection items. of course i buy myself new ones around my birthday hfkshfkdb #5 more days until i am 26 lmao. crazy.

OKAY not to get all sappy but like, the fact an artist i've looked up to for years loving my art and even calling my art style cute despite how shitty it is just like, really shows how crazy life works sldksldk- really makes you feel good 💙

It's like when my favorite musician followed me on instagram a while ago, i never got any message back from him (yet), but just the fact of acknowledgement makes a pretty big impact y'know?

Maybe it also has something to do with the fact i've been pretty much hiding myself until i was "ready" to show, so stuff like that can kinda be overwhelming in general- idk what the fuck i'm saying anymore just thank you so much Wiggy lmao maybe now i can try doing more with my life-

It is cute though!! But forreal happy I could, and definitely between that and insta a sign give yourself more credit too :3

But I totally get it, first step in showing anything you’ve done is super intimidating and hard. And art is hard. So it like, super makes my day when it’s like “oh hey that person I see in my notes and asks a lot drew a thing!!”. And just seeing people draw or start posting their art is very cool to me, anything I can do to encourage that <3

You are very welcome too! But also thank you for making my day/night haha

#asks #white-striped-writer #like I am very big on the whole #if you wanna draw/write then let yourself do so #don’t worry if it’s ‘good’#(which is super subjective anyways lmao)#more important is you did it for you #and you enjoyed it #rest is just skill/practice that comes with time #but on the other side I’m like #‘OMG! Look! Person did a thing! Am excite!’

#aaaaaa i started talking to someone from bumble and just signed off for the night and i think i'm cautiously excited?#so i'd been thinking about trying the actual dating side of bumble after having some success making friends thru bumble bff #and within like.. not much time after setting up my dating profile i'm talking to iirc like the first person i swiped on #and we switched to snapchat and then were talking about working 2nd shift #and then when i signed off he called me cutie?? like again actually #i hadnt noticed at first that we'd both sent messages when we first matched #and he started with like hi cutie and i'm like oh i have that same pride merch lmao #so uh i dont have much practice with flirting can u tell #anyway when he signed off with like g'nite cutie i replied like you too handsome #and i cant decide if that was weird? i didnt want to just copy his compliment and call him cute back? and he is both cute and handsome #but i cant decide if calling someone handsome is like... old timey? like did i get that from fallout 4 or something?#but anyway i think the second-guessing is still outweighed by the fuzzy feelings of being called cute :3 #me

Two things I am learning this year:

1) a girl can be so so tired and still go direct groups of people and be bright and cheerful about it

2) sometimes skipping class to take a nap is the right choice

#im leading in chapel again tomorrow #(for the third time in like. 8 days? 😭)#so i have worship practice tonight and i will have to direct my band and also decide if i want to bother our longsuffering sound guy #to set up the keyboard for me so i can play pads....#but on the bright side im doing an advent set im excited about #where im juxtaposing o come o come emmanuel with is he worthy and its gonna be really cool i think

I've been in such an off and on garbage mood lately and I've been especially annoyed because it makes me want some retail therapy but that is not that practical or helpful

So I've been excitedly looking at the dollar general app all freaking week to plan out a trip with coupons and shit so I can go today and now it's finally here and I am so excited to get some fucking laundry detergent lmao

#the absolute most boring thing but i get to spend money And save $5 #i have had this list since like monday or tuesday and i worked it all out with a couple different coupons #and i have been checking it and making sure its all things i want #and then today/on saturdays they have $5 off $25 or more and my total price went down because it applied to the list i have #and i got So excited #i have no proper idea if im getting actual Good deals on these things #but the app is saying im saving $20 something dollars so i an Hype about it #i still bought some toys the other day so i havent been entirely controlling the want for things/to spend money #but i am curbing it a bit #and at least today im buying Practical things #so even if its not the best deals were still gonna be using the things? idk #anyways #the amount of stupid excitment shopping at DG has been is so much and so dumb lmao #i hate that the moment i was old enough to be making and spending adult money was like the moment my brain decided buying things and having #things felt really good and i should do that #i mean i absolutely still get excitment and joy at seeing my literally little things so at least i havent tossed them to the side on boredo #but this shit has gotten to $10 a thing and that has been so bad for me #financially lmao #dont mind me #tag rambles
