welcome to pompeii

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only person who has a problem with strangers. Like, generally, I don’t want to be forced into meeting total strangers. I don’t want them in my space or in my house, spending the night. I do not feel comfortable and I feel self conscious and God, who came up with the rule that ‘family’ can’t be strangers? THEY CAN. THEY SO CAN. If I have never met my father’s cousin’s daughter and her husband, they are STRANGERS.

I feel like I should be justified in being uncomfortable, I don’t care that being Indian kinda dictates that you’re not allowed to and all family members no matter how distant, are welcome anytime, all the time. People can just invade your house for as long as they want. It’s massively irritating.

But I guess this is what happens when you’re an introverted and mostly anti-social person coming from a culture that thrives on being social. Still, don’t like it. At all.

And you know what, I don’t want to have dinner and uncomfortable small talk with these strangers either. Not one bit. I scarcely like to have small talk and dinner with the relatives I DO know. I hate this pressure, hate it haaaate iiiittt.

me: yaaaaaay~

Mehhhh, I had to buy a new tablet because the old one was really lagging my photoshop D: It’s so hard to get used to a new one! I used the old one for the past six years. I know it’s just a matter of practice and getting familiar with the new one, but IT’S A PAIN.

Oh good God, I am so, so glad I have a place to be a whiny complainer now.

So basically I have this macbook laptop, right, and when the OS El Capitan update came out I was like

“Um, no thank you, Capitan.”

And that was that. But especially in the past two weeks, my browsers decided to start staging a coup against me. Safari would crash every day and I was murdering Chrome tabs like a military dictator left and right and then the FINAL STRAW was when my tumblr chat feature stopped working.

Let me tell you, nothing drives a person crazy like knowing you should be able to do something, but not being able to do it. Did I use tumblr instant messaging every day? Nope. But the minute it was gone, it was like life had suddenly become unbearable. WHY WHY WAS THIS HAPPENING. El Capitan, obviously, squeezing the fist of control.

Sigh.

So I got the update and the download took about 2 hours. Then the install took another three hours and this damn laptop restarted and booped and flashed bright screens and then black screens all the damn night. And THEN when I woke up in the morning (okay more like 11 am ) I got a bunch of messages saying that my software was no longer compatible with ol’ El Capitan.

My tablet. My scanner. My After Effects. Other Stuff I Would Maybe Need in the Future.

Hi guys! Some of you may be more familiar with my sketch/fanart blog www.pompeiiablaze.tumblr.com !  If you aren’t, why not take a look? But anyways, I figured it was time I have a side blog where I can post whatever I want, reblog whatever I want, follow whoever I want without compromising my ‘mostly art’ blog as I’ve tried to keep it. Also, it gives me a place to be utterly boring and not worry about whether or not I am driving away my followers. :D SPAMTASTIC.
