Born to make cool-lookin edgelord OCs

Forced to be unable to actually draw them


I just know Prospero would look neat but I get so frustrated trying to draw people *sob* if I'm not good at something immediately then it's obviously not worth it /s

4 PM!??

That is wild

Did my lil poem thing and it went... okay. I have a hard time standing still in one spot for myriad of reasons, so having to do that for something I'm already nervous about is extremely difficult and I know I was visibly shaking lol. The fact I couldn't walk around was torture because that's how I usually speak to a group because it's more informal and that's how I was taught to keep attention. But I didn't die or pass out or have a panic attack in front of 15 people and I'm very proud of myself. I've dropped out of classes over assignments like this so for me to power through this as a first assignment is pretty much unheard of and I'm really glad I was able to stick it out.

My poem was The Listeners by Walter de la Mare if anyone was interested : )) It's only 36 lines but my professor was kind of flexible about that as long as the lines had substances and weren't just one or two words

My problem is that I don't pace, I circle. It works when you're trying to tell a dozen teenagers about rocks and need to keep them engaged but I can't make everyone do a 360 in their seat to track me around the room lol

Aw, that's ruff ): though I'm curious as to how he's doing. Is he doing alright? Eating enough? Exercising?
I hope you get a break soon so you can visit him or something too :D

That's so funny to imagine xD and yeah sleeping 22 hours a day probably isn't too good for health lol (*nervous glancing to side*)
Maybe he'd be able to relate to some cats, who also miscalculate stuff they do

The water main on my campus broke they had to shut down a road and dig a giant trench to fix it. My dorm wasn't impacted but they shut off the water for half of the residence halls and I was very close to hosting a sleepover in my dorm so that my friends could have access to clean water. Having that many people overnight is technically against the rules but I literally could not care less, I stopped giving a damn after they messed up the heating in the buildings so bad I was treating people for heat exhaustion because it broke on a weekend and they couldn't get anyone out until a weekday.
They managed to get the water back on so I didn't have to host a sleepover, but we're all under a boil water advisory for the next day or so. AND the water is absolutely disgusting now because they were messing with the pipes-- in the buildings most effected by the main break it looks more like black tea than tap water. A couple of us swung by Walmart to buy testing kits to see what was going on (it's a temporary situation and the water just needs to keep moving through the pipes to clear it up but we were curious and this also isn't the first time the water has looked like this) and we grabbed various samples to test them. I haven't gotten to see the results yet but someone's throwing them on a spreadsheet tomorrow so we'll see how it goes, I guess???

Also I'm fine, I've been exclusively drinking bottled water since the beginning of the year because I hate the tap water taste here even when I filter it and I have plenty stockpiled and to the college's credit, they've been passing out bottled water to everyone else as well. I'm just going to avoid using the water for a couple days which sucks because I meant to do laundry today but I'll survive : )

I also had my third migraine of the month so that's pretty awesome

Boil water order still in effect "until further notice" but my building is clear so it's going to be reasonably okay. Hoping it gets resolved before the weekend because they've closed a couple roads around campus to give themselves room and it's making it an absolute nightmare to cross the street because suddenly no one knows how crosswalks work

I've been so tired lately, I never do well in winter when the sun sets at 6pm but it's been particularly rough this year. Kind of glad that my morning class turned asynchronous while my professor does things so I can sleep in a little. Winter really does turn me into an old person

The class wasn’t asynchronous and now I have to turn in the thing we were supposed to do several hours late so that’s pretty cool. The professor sent the email saying so at 8am today and I woke up about an hour after the due date and have another class to go to so it’s gonna be great

Yup that was good

I don't even know why I'm so worked up rn which is the worst part because I can't fix it : (

Thank you Galaxian, I appreciate it :' )

I got a smart watch over the holidays to help me track my pulse and sleep (I have a funny thing where if I stand up too quickly/after lying down for a while I become temporarily blind and they think it has something to do with my blood pressure) but the watchband is irritating my skin : ( it's a silicone-type thing so I might need to go for something softer 

You most likely have an iron deficiency
