Notes from my island...

I feel so broken. I miss my old life. I miss my kitties.

I thought my breaking point would've been my medical emergency. Turned out I'm stronger than that.

It's a stupid work dispute. I won't do shit about it because it's not worth the energy. But it made me realize how broken I feel at times.

Broken enough to finally write about it ...

the epidemic of grown adults playing tiktoks at full volume in public is rampant why are you acting like a 7 year old with their first ipad you have a mortgage

one guy was facetiming his sister, she was in Texas for work and I know this because they were yell-talking at each other. This went on for a few minutes so I got up, walked over and sat down in the chair next to him an asked if she was staying hygrated as I heard Texas can get really hot in the summer and that it looked like she has a bit of a sun burn.

The two of them were flabergasted. And the guy said "what are you doing???"

So I was like. "....well you included me in this call and I'm just worried about your sister."

He goes "Im having a PRIVATE conversation!"

So I goes "If it was private then how the hell do i know youre talking to your sister who is in texas on a business trip?"

Ultimately im not sure he really got the point but he lowered the volume because now he's worried about creeps like me listening to his conversations but at least he's behaving now even if he doesnt understand why

You're a hero, I hope you know that.

I literally did this to someone. She was listening to very very descriptive erotica on the beach at max volume. So I walked over, sat down next to her, and asked her to catch me up on the plot I'd missed. When she asked what the hell I was doing I said "oh I thought this was like a book club thing? Since you're playing it at full volume on a crowded beach?" She suddenly remembered she did in fact bring headphones and was willing to use them. She kept looking at me like I was a lunatic for the rest of the time she was there but it was probably the funniest thing I'd ever done

I was today years old when I learned about Mt. Disappointment (Victoria, Australia) which was named by two men not being able to get over themselves.

Love it.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

Reading: "Dreadful" by Caitlin Rozakis

He had information, a lot more information than an hour ago. He had a name! Dread Lord Gavrax. Surely that couldn’t be his original name, of course. No mother would name her baby Gavrax, would she? He winced. Of course someone who thought those bedposts were a good idea would choose the name Gavrax. He tried thinking of himself as a Gavrax, and just couldn’t wrap his mind around it. Gav, maybe?…

“He had information, a lot more information than an hour ago. He had a name! Dread Lord Gavrax. Surely that couldn’t be his original name, of course. No mother would name her baby Gavrax, would she? He winced. Of course someone who thought those bedposts were a good idea would choose the name Gavrax. He tried thinking of himself as a Gavrax, and just couldn’t wrap his mind around it. Gav, maybe? He could live with Gav. Not that he had anyone to call him Gav.” . Make it fantasy, but from the villain’s perspective 😏 Imagine a villain who can’t remember anything about himself. Sounds like fun? Well, it is. This ‘high-fantasy farce’ has everything a fun little fantasy read should have (and more): dreadful villains, mysterious maids, and an amnesiac protagonist navigating chaos and destruction and seeing his world with new eyes. .

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 . Thanks to Netgalley and Titan Books for the ARC. .

btw the majority of your life will be lived as a adult. yeah i don't make the rules. go have fun in your 40s or 70s or whatever. no one expects you to accomplish everything at 17 or 27. you've got time and in the meantime get some life experience, it will pay off
