terranigma, a cool game

I gotta get back into coding (so I can eventually land a decent job) and I want to start intensively learning Japanese again (so I can land an even better job? but also for fun) and I want to learn classical guitar and read more in general and do well in my philosophy class and start streaming and play video games for 10 hours a day. And I have to do laundry and clean up my apartment and start going out more and maybe even exercise a little or at least go for a walk once a week and pay my bills on time and make phone calls and wake up earlier than I want to. Can one little executive disfunctioning blogger do it all? Yes. But badly

One time on a first date with a guy, he had asked me why I was so specific about where and how I wanted to meet. I told him, I can always tell whether a man is interested in me from the very first look they give when they walk towards you. And it's important for me that I arrive early so that I can see the man walk towards me. Because they have 1 of 3 looks. 1) is they're just ambivalent and typically they're not attracted 2) the have this awestruck look of interest 3) they are leering almost up and down and it's too sexualized. And they lose interest quickly (and doesn't matter because I'm not interested in this type obviously).

And he asked me which type I found him to fall under. And I told him that he's ambivalent and not attracted. And he was like, nooo that's not the case. But I was like this has never failed me lol. Even though this whole time prior to meeting me, he had built up how attractive he thought I was. Really liked all my pics. And before meeting me and during the date itself, he said Pakistani women are beautiful (he was Bengali). End of the date, he walked me to my car and said let's do it again sometime.

And sure enough, he reached out but kinda mildly, boring - how was your weekend. To which I replied and equally boring response, and it died lol.

I have literally saved so much energy by making sure that I arrive first on a date. This puts me in a more comfortable spot and the guy in a more nervous spot. With you technically "receiving" him. As opposed to the traditional, him receiving you. And in that moment, with him walking towards you there is no pretense. And you can really see their very initial feelings towards you imho.

it really is funny how many american ‘white’ women believe the universe is providing for them because of them manifesting their ideas into reality or whatever the fuckin theory of attraction shit is when its like. no youre just privileged

i have no fuckin idea what my life would have looked like if i wasnt a reasonably conventionally attractive white woman in america?? not only do i have the privilege of being a white woman in america but my hometown is mostly Black and i am genuinely a minority here. my mom literally got hired at a Black law firm as their diversity hire in the 90s 😂 yes white people ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN have a ton of privilege even when we are not the majority

denying your privilege is so fucking cringe i like literally talk about this irl with coworkers and ppl in my community all the time. i so desperately want to use this privilege to improve my community for all.

its been crushing dealing with disabilities that limit my physical activities and just trying to keep myself financially stable while so much evil is going on in the world rn. i am ridiculously passionately anti war but i have been preparing for genocide since i was a kid. i grew up in a Black and Jewish community so i wasnt shielded from this shit. white americans get your fucking shit together NOW. liberalism will not protect our families. (our families are not just blood btw.)

anyways all this is to say im glad i might be getting a dykey construction/contractor job and learning real skills and meeting people throughout my town. its been horrible dealing with a spine injury on top of everything. but my injections worked and THE TIGER IS OUT god damn i need to join a union

glad to see everyone in the tags on that post agreeing that Enjolras is absolutely a sentimental sap who keeps every scrap and doodle his friends ever gave him

solid hc, absolutely correct, go team <3

[front-facing-pokemon]

are ur notes like half furret? just wondering :3

(⁠＾◕⁠ ‿⁠‿⁠ ◕＾)

it's a solid chunk of them. in the last month, the furret post has gained 2,649 notes, whereas the blog as a whole has garnered 13,488 notes. simple math tells us it's about 19% of my notes. which is about what i estimated in my head—i guessed it was about 25% of my notes. although that post does have about 100x the notes that a typical post on this blog gets, so bravo you all for somehow achieving that

you're excused :)
