I work for my inlaws in a very small shop. We're taking all of next week off, so I hustled all morning to get work done. Now that it's after lunch, I will be coasting and doing the absolute bare minimum.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but even though I was a very empathetic kid, I would probably be a terrible person as an adult were it not for the internet. I lucked out by having a best friend who wasn't scared to have a blunt, honest conversation with me about some of my shitty views, but it was like planting a...not even a seed bc it was such a drastic slap in the face, but like a tree. And it was the internet that helped me learn more and explore ideas and metaphorically care for and nurture and protect that tree and keep it growing. Without the internet, the tree would have died. I had people actively trying to cut the tree down and poison the roots at every turn.
Today, it's a good tree. I've done a lot of growing as a person for the better, and the internet had a big hand in that.
Was coming to praise the Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce. It's so good on and in so many things, but especially a chicken sandwich from a local joint we go to on Wednesdays. I look forward to that every week.
I believe the sex would he heterosexual, but the parties would still be homosexual. This happened a lot in lavender marriages. The fact they had sex to produce children didn't change their sexuality.
I agree with a lot of the shows listed. I loved TWD but after the Negan stuff, I was so incredibly bored that I gave up, couldn't get into Parks and Rec. Tried 3 episodes before deciding it wasn't for me, etc.
But the one show I haven't seen listed yet is Supernatural. I was obsessed with that show for the first 5 seasons (which was how many the show creator wanted it to go on for) and then it just became so unbearable and ridiculous that I completely gave up by season 7. This one died, but not really. This one died and got brought back - 3 times. This one swapped bodies. This character is actually this character, but SIKE! it was THIS character all along!
Give me a break.
Then it went on for like 8 more seasons and I just cannot fathom that.
It's going well. My resolution this year was to focus on self-improvement and self-care. I started using the Finch app, which has helped tremendously. I've cleaned my depression nest, took steps to being more organized, started learning German again, joined a gym and am going consistently, and I'm taking better care of myself through diet and mindfulness.
The next step is tackling my anxiety by getting out of the house more, so my husband and I have been looking into nature trails and camping areas near us. Hopefully we'll be jumping into that starting this weekend.
Wanted to be a heart surgeon when I was a kid. Gave up on that in high school when the anxiety hit and I started shaking any time I was even slightly stressed. Figured that wasn't the career path for me.
I'm doing really well. Married, setting up to take over the family business with my partner. I still love heart-related medical stuff and read/watch things to scratch the itch.
Still anxious, still very shaky. I made the right choice.
Just tried to read some of Anne Rice's books last week because I was enchanted by the AMC adaptation of Interview with the Vampire.
I can't even adequately express how much I dislike her writing and "story telling", if you can even call it that. Her vampire lore/rules for her vampires are cool, but that's pretty much all she has going for her.
Darkness from Legend was the first crush I can remember having.
