it's just fine to be out of your mind

if one/both of your new roommates is a child you assume responsibility of that child

But what do you do with that knowledge when you're 15?

Do I write anonymous letters to my ex's parents telling them what he'd been doing? Say, 'Hey, Dad, I think the thing where you stay up til 3 am blaring music in the garage is symptomatic of something, actually'? Say, 'Hey, Dad, if you don't quit smoking now, in 2025 me and Mum and my brother are going to watch you die at age 68?' Say, 'Hey, [teacher], watch yourself or the whole school is going to know your nickname for your dick by 2018'? Tell those family friends that actually what their teen son did to me in their garage wasn't okay, two years after it happened, because when it did happen I didn't have the language to explain it all?

Nope. Scrolled. Read fic. Watched a half dozen youtube lore videos I've watched before because I care too much about lore and the creator's voice soothes me.

See, the thing is that it's actually totally fine to read fic and watch videos and stuff! Especially when you are feeling bad in ways I won't detail in public! So like if you could lean more into enjoying doing those soothing things while you're going through shit, that would be super awesome, okay?

Also! I'm willing to bet that your RP partners don't feel like you owe them anything, and that they're fine with waiting until you have the spoons to write.

So like if you could see your way clear to being just a lil kinder to my you, which is you, my friend to whom you are being a bit mean in this post, that would be super great, okay?

How many can you get?

Accidentally fallen in a natural body of water

Visited the second-largest city on your country

Taken ibuprofen on an empty stomach

Gotten a tattoo in only purple ink

Tried to dye your hair only to find the dye wouldn't take

Drank a spider

Broken your left femur in exactly two places simultaneously

Nearly ran out of petrol on the highway but not quite

Had an allergic reaction during an exam, because of the exam materials

Been prescribed antihistamines

Blocked someone on tumblr

Submitted a CV with a typo in the first line

Drank coffee without sugar

Been in an airplane only for the flight to be cancelled before takeoff

Abandoned a hobby exactly three days after you picked it up

Gotten the wrong prescription glasses because you were too shy to tell the student optometrist they were blocking your view of the eye chart so you just made up some answers at random

Been told "jokes about [trauma you had] are never funny" right after you made a joke about said trauma

Gotten lost at a new school

Been to a birthday party

Told someone you don't speak a certain language, in that language (give yourself a bonus point if you were lying to avoid a having a conversation (give yourself another bonus point if it was your native language (give yourself another bonus point if you clearly doing something - eg reading a book or watching a movie - that indicated that you did in fact speak said language)))

Left kudos on AO3

Read a book longer than 300 pages

Accidentally declined a call you wanted to take

Found a coin on the footpath that was the largest denomination minted in the country you were in at the time

Watched a TV series in an order determined by a random number generator

Gone out of your way to spit on someone's grave

Rolled a 12 on a pair of D6s

Received a scholarship that did not pay nearly enough to cover the course fees

Visited Geraldine, Aotearoa

Been mistaken for a sibling of a different gender

Accidentally shoplifted

Coloured your nails with a highlighter

Thanked your aunt for the lovely handkerchiefs

Been adopted by a calico cat with six toes on each paw

Looked someone up in an actual old-fashioned phonebook

Been given a nickname you initially hated but grew to like

Cut your own hair without looking in a mirror

Lived somewhere everyone says is haunted but you've never noticed anything abnormal

Driven a car older than yourself

Anyway, I got 20.
