1 & 2: notes at work

3: a day it was raining so hard and yet the sun shone so strongly thru my window

4: chonky chicken at the thrift store

5 & 6: items donated to the church yard sale that made me Feel Things (nostalgia and horror, respectively)

i really wanted to post the sign i took yesterday but it would've doxxed me unfortunately 😔 it was one of those black signs where you push in the letters? but they'd run out of the right letters so like. a lot of their r's were upside down j's and they spelled "tuesdays" as "tuesdaise" bc i guess they ran out of y's lol at the bottom it said "ooh la la tequila" which kinda made it look like tequila was the reason all the other letters were kinda wandering around

(i want one of those signs for my apartment ngl)

3) whats your favorite/least favorite quality about yourself; why

favourite is that all my life i have made a consistent effort to be a christian.. least favourite is that i get really lazy at that or try to go about it with misguided ideas because im not willing to put in the work that a real relationship with God entails

18) do you like your laugh

yes i do!!!! its REALLY loud but i dont mind

Aimee: It's ok. I can be your scapegoat.

so, first of all, i don't have one lock screen... i have six. they cycle

Are you named after anyone? nnnot that i know of...

When was the last time you cried? i don't remember

Do you have kids? nope

What sports do you play/have you played? i've played t-ball, softball, and soccer. the only one i didn't hate was soccer and that only bc so long as i was running in the vague direction of the ball i could make it look like i cared what was happening. i simply do not vibe with sports

Do you use sarcasm? when frustrated and/or angry, but only on the side of whoever's been wronged. if someone's frustrated i'll be sarcastic alongside them, not at them

What is the first thing you notice about people? uh. their... presence, i guess? basically, do they notably raise my anxiety 😅

What's your eye color? brown

Scary movies or happy endings? happy endings, tho i feel like this is a weird dichotomy. can scary movies not have happy endings?

Any talents? *beats back self-deprecating comments with a stick* i read out loud well and my singing voice is strong, my writing has been complimented in various ways (evocative, true to character, causing many feelings, etc), and i make pretty jewelry *collapses in exhaustion from beating back the anxiety goblin*

Where were you born? the good ol' us of a

What are your hobbies? art in many forms (writing, painting, crocheting, jewelry, graphic design amongst others) and i'd like to get into more (carpentry in some form, quilting, miniatures...)

Do you have any pets? yyyes and no, i feel responsible for mi's dog and i love her very much, but i wouldn't call her my dog

How tall are you? 5'6"

Favorite subject in school? whichever subject allowed me to just read stories, so usually english

Dream job? uhh something physical but not physically demanding that pays really well, has a well-defined end state, and doesn't need thinking. i really liked the wiring work i did when i worked in a machine shop and i like doing kitchen prep; i'd like more natural light, tho, and a quieter environment - both the machine shop and the kitchen were/are full artificial lighting and noisy as hell

what do you think of when you hear the word “home”?

oof. um. well... i haven't had somewhere i felt comfortable thinking of as 'home' for... a really long time now. we moved so much when i was a kid that 'home' was more the people than the location, and now that the people have changed it's been... very weird

'home' is a concept. a theoretical. a "maybe someday"... but "maybe someday" what? i'll own a house? how? where would it even be? i have no idea

what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier?

this video of what happens when you turn car friction to a -9 in gta iv and put yakety sax music over it

i have a whole playlist called "cheer up, sad kid" on yt and if one video doesn't cheer me up generally another one does (bad language, some content stuff, all the usual warnings)

are you an open book or do you have walls up?

the whaler: fuck this is some good shit

come all you weary: fuck this is some good shit | instant add to my Christian music playlist
