Ishmael · February 6, 2023 04:13:12

I used to eat coins as a kid so I find my current situation funny because I also have an iron deficiency on top of everything else lol

I hate Zoom classes, I hate having to have my camera on and be actively perceived

What are your thoughts on being in public

"I'll still get six hours of sleep, my class isn't until 11:30" I say to myself having consumed a not insignificant amount of caffeine and going to bed at 4:45 in the morning when people in my hallway start banging around at 5 because they're all athletes who can bench press my body weight and work out at ungodly hours

Ishmael · February 9, 2023 21:58:55

I keep forgetting to pick up my adderall prescription which I think is fairly indicative that I need it

Ishmael · February 10, 2023 20:44:50

I FORGOT TO GET IT AGAIN UGH

Ishmael · February 13, 2023 23:02:18

Good news: finally got my meds : )

Bad news: everything that could possibly go wrong right now is going wrong (like, I have a handful of funerals I may have to go to wrong) and I have a profound lack of control over all of it, so the only thing I can do is wait for it to pass. Good stuff. Saw some cats today though so that's nice I guess

Also, don't really know what's on the news outside of the state, but figured I'd say that I'm upstream and away from the East Palestine chemical fuckery that's happening in Ohio right now. I'm close enough that I'm keeping a very close eye on it, but from what I can tell I am out of harm's way for now.

GalaxianExplosion · February 14, 2023 01:05:35

The Ohio memes are becoming real Ishmael, I think you probably should've left when you had the chance :') but good luck, stay strong, and definitely don't slurp bad chemicals. That'd be bad.

Ishmael · February 14, 2023 01:50:01

I'll do my best not to slurp bad water

Ishmael · February 14, 2023 03:54:54

Alright. Bedtime for me now. I've run myself absolutely ragged the past couple days and I need to get a routine going before I unravel completely lol

I have no idea why January-March utterly destroys me every year in terms of large-scale events that are out of my control but impact me deeply but I haven't had a normal start to the year in like. 4 years. 20% of my years have started out in the worst ways possible

I really just need a week where I can just be by myself and nothing is asked of me, but that's never going to happen. I fully slept on the floor for a couple hours today and that was the most peaceful I've felt in weeks

Ishmael · February 14, 2023 20:44:56

Whoopsie! A transformer blew so now I don’t have internet. Absolutely no idea when that’ll get fixed, but hopefully sometime soon.

Russet · February 14, 2023 21:06:28

a...a...a...a... a transformer?

Anyways that really sucks. I am praying for its speedy recovery

Ishmael · February 15, 2023 06:31:57

Looks like we’re back on

Ishmael · February 17, 2023 23:48:35

Alrighty,,,, things (somehow) got worse since I was last here but I'm okay, just kind funky. My midterms are pretty much behind me so that's significantly less stress, and I'm just doing what I can to keep my head above water

Doing better than before tho

Ishmael · February 19, 2023 04:43:39

No thoughts only Minecraft 100 Days YouTube videos

I feel like I mainly use this thread to complain lately so here's a bunch of positive things

- The feral cats around campus are actually warming up to me a little bit! I'm not the one who feeds them, but plenty of other students do, so they're all looking pretty healthy despite the winter

- Finally ordered some dice for dnd! They're a black and white swirly pattern with gold numbers so I should be able to read them a lot better than the set that was lent to me by a friend

- I'm planning on seeing Hadestown soon! Haven't quite nailed down a date yet but it's very likely in the cards for me which I'm very excited about. I haven't been to a show in a long time because of covid and I really really miss live theater

- Spring break is right around the corner so I get to see Toby soon!!! My parents are currently pet sitting a family friend's dog so he gets to hang out with a buddy for a couple days.

- I don't have anymore huge presentations the rest of the semester! I've decided to withdraw from the public speaking class for the moment for the sake of my mental health with everything else going on, but I will have to take it eventually for my minor. I'm hoping to do it next semester just to get it over and done with.

I've never really seen cats out and about before besides the outdoor pet cats. But I think they're very cute. I think it just might be due to where I live. But anyways, it's nice to hear someone is taking care of them.

Nice! I hope they like you.

Shoutout to mystery organ pain, gotta be one of my favorite medical mysteries

Time · February 22, 2023 15:35:30

The random pain in the chest

Ishmael · February 23, 2023 07:08:40

I hate those so much

Ishmael · February 24, 2023 04:03:25

Finally getting some motivation to draw again. It may just be warrior cats but it's something

Ishmael · February 25, 2023 04:44:03

I cannot describe how much I want to eat an IHOP pancake rn. I've been craving it for weeks but the nearest one is a half hour drive away and I don't have a car on campus so I'd have to bug a friend to drive me and I hate to do that. I couldn't get an Uber out here if I tried

Basket Cat · February 25, 2023 10:51:05

get this man an ihop pancake

Time · February 25, 2023 21:31:32

I've been to IHOP only like, once. What's the allure? Can you describe it?

Ishmael · February 25, 2023 23:44:07

My IHOP trips are like going to Waffle House but the chaotic energy is more contained. A bunch of college kids exclusively ordering off the minion movie menu vs the one time I got bronchitis from a Waffle House server if that makes sense

The allure of it right now is I am an animal in a zoo enclosure and I need enrichment. IHOP pancakes are my pumpkins filled with raw meat

Basket Cat · February 26, 2023 11:30:40

the fact that this entire post makes sense to me is slightly terrifying
