Erydu Maenhir

Time-worn but still megalithic. New blog with a new identity. May contain NSFW of robots (text or pic) or rarely text or pic NSFW reblogs. May contain NSFW personal text rarely. Non-binary, agender. Don't care much about pronouns. I call myself "rockfriend" mostly because Erydu is weird to refer to myself as and "Maenhir" just means megalith/giant stanidng stone anyway.

So, who else here struggled to pick up the “go away, you’re not wanted” social cue as a kid, which has made them so overly cautious as an adult that they end up having cool conversations with cool people but don’t want to be too friendly in case they’re missing the cue, and so end up making those cool people think that you don’t want to be friends with them?

Because, like, this is the Number One Thing that has fucked me up as an adult and I am so grateful to my friends who didn’t stop talking to me while I slowly figured out that, yes, they did actually want to be friends.

[erydumaenhir]

Yep, am aspie, hung out more with adults than kids my age (they made more sense).

I probably alternate between aspie overshare and mental processing block missing the joke and or the cues to go away

in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying

I had a dream where octopuses lived near a cliff in a rainforest type area and they had learned to jump out of the water and poach out of giant spider webs because sometimes the giant spiders caught monkeys or something. I was strangely more concerned about three tree octopuses than the apparent giant spiders and I'm not sure how

Is there a word for that moment when you sit in the car after turning it off and it’s so peaceful that you just want to stay there?

[erydumaenhir]

Usually I'm having an NPR "driveway moment" and want to hear the end of the story when this happens.

(The alternative is when im so fucking tired I just have to sit there to get the energy to go inside)

I only do this with gummy vitamin c because ye tastes the best though.

Because it’s my brother’s favorite line from Jazz and is all he says whenever I mention FOC

Please stop what you are doing and look at these baby Lionfish! 

Remember:-

Lionfish in Atlantic = invasive = problem.

Lionfish in Pacific = native = not a problem.

in my head my parents only did it four times cause there’s only four of us

[erydumaenhir]

We have a very serious joke where we refuse to acknowledge that our parents have sex with each other in that they tell us we're adopted (we are not)

Not like in an unhealthy way, but in the sense that talking about your parents having sex with them is weird.

I’m looking at the jobs sectipn of craigslist and found one that wanted a 4 year degree and paid $18 an hour.

We pay 18.35 to start and you need to okay with getting dirty and have a clean driving record.

Not sure if it’s because ours is a mechanics position and is considered a man’s job and the other was for a specialist for kids with autism, a typical womans job.

But 18 bucks an hour isn’t going to pay those student loans.

[erydumaenhir]

I live in Georgia and moved out of my parents house and into an apartment on my own on a $14/hr job. I impressed my work enough with my willingness to learn and take on new responsibilities that at two and a half years in I was making $20/hr. I'm making my student loan payments, getting a little bit more paid than the minimum every month, and am actually going to be a homeowner in less than a month.

When people post about wages, they need to discuss what the area of the country is and what the cost of living is in that area.
