I forgot about the Daily Blocking of Porn Bots the moment your account is remotely active again. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[leighpeigh]

Okay this is now actively making me want to delete this app again.

Addendum to previous: I don’t give a shit about the new year EXCEPT for how my ten-year-old nephew was experiencing it last night. 😂

[leighpeigh]

Potential unpopular opinion but I don’t give a shit about the year changing over, don’t care about midnight, hate fireworks, don’t get nostalgic for the year that passed, and don’t have specific hopes and dreams for the new year. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was scrolling through Tumblr the other day looking for a very specific old post of mine and a few things struck me:

1) I really miss some people on here.

2) I really miss writing, even if it is just dumb Tumblr posts to give you a chuckle (okay and me too, I was scrolling through my old posts giggling like a jackass). Yelling into this very specific part of the internet was incredibly cathartic at one time.

3) Four years since my departure and the app itself is still straight trash. Possibly worse??? Way more ads anyway.

Maybe I’ll come back? Maybe I’ll start a new one and let this one just remain an archive of a different time in my life? Who knows.

Good evening, friends.

It seems like—rather abruptly in fact—tumblr has become played out for me. Between the constant frustrations of the platform and feeling a need to trim the fat in terms of social networks, I’m just not here much anymore. I will surely pop in from time to time to check on you folks, but if you don’t see a lot of hearts or posts from me, I’m okay, I’m just elsewhere, ya know? This place has been a wonderful escape when my life felt really rudderless, but I’ve got a lot of nice things on the horizon and this feels like a place I can (mostly) let go of. I got what I needed out of it, and then some.

About the only social network I do hang out on is Instagram, but I’ll warn you I have a private account and am pretty picky about who I let in (I recently trimmed my followers from over 400 to just over 100, and about half of those are people I know in real life). My username is the same on there, if you’re a mutual and want to find me. And if I don’t accept your request right away, please don’t be offended. I have a lot of gigantic life changes going on right now and want to keep my circle tight while I adjust.

Some of you have my number. Use it. Text me. I spend my work day in an empty apartment, so all of my water cooler talk happens over iMessage. Brent I’m gonna need every rant, every musing delivered personally to my iMessage window as often as possible.

Be good everyone. See you when I see you. XO

Okay but what if—what IF my neighbours DIDN’T routinely slam their front door so hard as to make shampoo bottles fall off the edge of my tub? Maybe?? Yes??

Facebook just reminded me that I brought this little dude home five years ago today and good god he was goofy looking.

Highly recommend taking a tour through the Pixel tag below.

I admire that a cat can hurl the entire contents of his stomach during the expulsion of a hairball and immediately go park himself next to the food dish for a refill.

When I barf I’m inconsolable for hours, if not days.

My mind is like an internet browser. 17 tabs are open, 4 of them are frozen and I don’t know where the music is coming from.

[leighpeigh]

Me, but it’s 98 tabs and I’ve just muted the computer entirely so that I don’t have to find the tab playing music. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m about 45 minutes through an entire load of Just Zippers™ in my dryer and the guy who lives below me is shop vac’ing all 700 square feet of his patio at what should be an illegal amount of decibels so yeah a very quiet, peaceful, stress-free environment over here this afternoon.

[leighpeigh]

Slept like shit last night, took two Benadryl this morning to counter an allergic reaction, and accidentally made decaf coffee so if you need me I’ll just b—

This is one of those red flag emails I often talk about.

Doesn’t bother to learn or use my name;

Gives me almost no information on length or scope of the projects, and worst of all;

Doesn’t ask if I have availability or interest—jumps straight to “call me to set up a meeting.”

These requests get a hard no, every time.

My apartment lacks privacy so I’m not one for strutting around in my underwear, but it’s 28°C/83°F in here at 10:00 at night so I’ve turned off all the lights and ditched my clothes until this place can return to a reasonable fucking temperature.

[leighpeigh]

I agreed to a social outing this evening 80% because I’m anticipating there will be air conditioning.

[leighpeigh]

There was not.
