though perhaps it's time for something a little more coherent. I'm in New York, and I'm kinda pissed that I'm feeling more... physically regulated (as opposed to dysregulated) than I do in the Boston area where I actually live and where all of my favorite friends are. People in the Boston area need to give way fewer fucks. AndI say this as a person who (endorsedly) gives many fucks about many things!
Ofc had the most productive few days at work I've had in a while, the colleague I have a hard time working with was out most of this week and I got to work face-o-face with my manager who's based here and a good guy (though I wish he would stop referring to me and my colleague as "ladies", like "guys" is fine and neutral and not sexist in this sort of context imo, even though there are other contexts where it definitely is).
I have an ex girlfriend! Hi ex girlfriend! (After I finish writing this I'm going to send you a link to this dreamwidth page? blog? that is mine) and I bet she'll be happy to read the things, which is all around nice. (Ok, there's a little more here that I'm not sharing/not sure if I should share, but like, I'll ask about it I guess indeed)
indeed!
I find myself using this word a lot, ending lots of sentences with it, beginning some, peppering it throughout many others... I remember there was this anime I liked when I was a kid called Rozen Maiden and one of the characters ended all her sentences with "desu" and it was a bit of a meme. I wonder if this is like that? Indeed :)
I did not catch covid at the GY!BE concert, which may or may not be some sort of feat. I did wear a surgical mask with a cloth mask on top and I suspect this was a relatively important factor in this particular situation. It was still a fun time. GY!BE had cool shirts that I actually wanted; often it's the bands I don't really care for who have the coolest shirts! I also got a CD from the opening act, Myriam Gendron. I'm glad stuff like this exists.
It would be misleading if I gave you the impression that things are mostly good though. Or would it be? I do feel the need to try and balance this positivity out with a note that I've pulled out enough hair that I may need to go back to wearing a wig for a bit. The one I have will just make me look like some married Orthodox Jewish lady though. I really really really don't want that. There's a synthetic one I know of that's pretty colors; I owned it at one point but it got too messed up for me to keep wearing. I think it's still in production though, so is replaceable and inexpensive as these things go ($50-75 ish? as opposed to the wig I have on hand which is in like the thousands of dollars human hair sort of category, but which makes me look frum af which I am not). Ooh, and also I won't have to dye my actual hair to get pretty colors but the wig I have in mind looks natural enough on me that people have still mistaken it for my real hair lolol
