hey baby

it’s my birthday tomorrow

i’m in my extraordinarily late twenties

talking full refund on uber eats type late

talking [formal] (of a person) no longer alive type late

if you didn’t get me a gift, that means you are my gift

hey babe

i got an apartment

i’m getting the keys tomorrow

i think my life is about to change completely

uber eats game crazy

1 tube from everywhere

30 minute walk from prufrock

yeah

let’s get matching tattoos that say “it’s sad but it’s true” and under that “⬛︎⬛︎⬛︎” and a canada goose in a paddling pool

i mean

wait, wait. i was gonna say something nope, it’s gone. it’s gone.

oh yeah. so i took a few days off to pack, put my life into boxes (this is my last resort). stayed up late and “helped” beano with her homework. she is a lightsource and the owner of many good brush pens and very funny and good. afterwards i sat down between two towers of boxes and thought about how i’ve not had a vacation since 2024, and now the year ends in the number six. i dyed the front leaves of my hair orange. that brought back a rush of memories; i cried for a while which is good. i’ve been holding onto some stuff for a manufacturer of quality soups that’s gonna land me in a pickle, which i do not relish. it’s been a long year since christmas three christmases ago, and i’ve got to take some time to wring it out of myself and into the radio. feel like i’ve been having, in a personal capacity, a week where decades happen twice a week for half a year.

sometimes you’re just waiting around for someone to have a dream they can’t explain.

wait, wait. i was gonna say something — nope, it’s gone. it’s gone.

oh yeah, .

foc was really special. again. i fucking love this event. all the people are so great, and i love stomping around and having silly little chitter-chatters with everyone. and telling everybody how amazing their demos were (they were) and thanking them. and telling everybody how i’m so happy they came and thank you and listening to their ideas about the computer and saying “pleeeeease submit a demo for next time!!!!!!” because they are all so cute and excited and interesting. and i love running it with lu and with mimi and i just can’t imagine a better setup. like 3⁄4 of the people were first time this time and it still felt like FoC, it was charged up and the air was vibrating and there was too much pizza.

and now i’m moving apartments to just a few minutes run from there. i know it’s just a few minutes run because i got to the event just as the drinks were arriving, and then i ran to the viewing, took the place, and ran back for setup and pizza. might be the first time i’ve run in a decade. oh! i almost forgot. another of my dreams came true. i stepped out in front of somebody’s car and they shouted “fucking bitch!” out the window. isn’t that wonderful? they wanted to hurt my feelings, but they did it on my terms. you feel me? i’m so cute and popular.

you think i’m never lonely because i’m so cute and popular?

okay so today we transition from the Wheel of Fortune to the Page of Swords and do you know what queen? maybe!
