The key to writing good fanfiction is to harbor a deeply humiliating desire, and the trick there is that even pretty basic and societally-accepted desires like “being held” and “being wanted” CAN and WILL be humiliating if they’re intense enough. Become so estranged from human connection that the idea of someone playing with your hair fills you with yearning so deep you feel like you’re going to throw up and you will write some banger fanfiction. It might have some other consequences too but idrk about that.

being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.

There’s an emotion only unlocked when you live in a house with multiple stories. I call it “the stair emotion” and it’s when you realize the object you need is on the other side of yet another trip up and down those goddamn stairs. It’s the closest I get to transcending the desire for material goods. Maybe I don’t need that notebook. Maybe I don’t need anything.

How tf did I manage to get the flu in July. Always a real low point in life when you're looking forward to your next dose of Tylenol

Ts got me reading PubMed meta-analyses about what the best NSAID is for different types of pain. Like is naproxen or ibuprofen better for sore throat? Apparently it's pretty solidly ibuprofen. I wasn't expecting to find such a definitive comparison so that was nice

I survived a whole year of being a medical assistant at a pediatrician's office and never got the flu by the way. I got coughed on and did flu/covid/strep swabs and had to clean up puke and everything. So I'm baffled to say the least
