Omg, hi, it’s been a really fucking long time. Yes, I’m still alive. Yes, things are pretty good.

Been at the grocery store for a year now! I was promoted to Assistant Import Cheese Specialist and moved to a different location and it’s AWESOME. Just wish I got paid more...but benefits finally kicked in! Yay!

Bought a car. It’s a Kia Soul. :)

Started dating a wonderful man in the meat department at my store. Been dating six months. He’s amazing.

Still living at home, still trying to save up for a house and a billion dogs.

Just trying to look at all the positives in my life and keep. moving. forward.

Friendly reminder that when my trans co-worker was having issues with people in the office calling him "ma'am" and "miss", I told him to ask to be called Galactic Overlord instead and it worked.

a long night lives somewhere in the left of my ribs,   a wide empty that fills my bones like marrow,   i want to tell you  that i’m too sad to be alive   but it’s not the sadness that would kill me,   it’s the feeling nothing, the feeling empty;   i am too tired for the fights  warriors live to write about   if i lay down and let the world slip by   no one would notice  that i went missing   if i lay down and just let this  all pass me     maybe i could wake up on a day when nobody and nothing could hurt me.

tired. // r.i.d (via inkskinned)

OMG I just used the Fursona Generator and here’s what it gave me:

“red and green koala. it is a tattoo artist. it wears a snapback.”

I decided I can live with that.

“skeleton cow. it wears crocs. it works as a librarian in hell.“ WELL THEN.

Floral pudu. It is a garden spirit. It loves to wear nail polish but applies it messily. The hell even is a pudu??? I feel the nail polish part tho 😕

[lady-bertrams-pug]

Wikipedia says the pudu is a miniature deer my dear @sammy-dean-pie

cream cat. it is a magical girl. water drips from it constantly.

[weiawam]

black and orange spotted newt. it works at an adorable tiny bakery. its eyes are pitch black and cause those who look directly into them for too long to slowly grow older.

[ninjaeyecandy]

petite cat. it is a skilled glass-blower. it has fangs capable of injecting venom.

chocolate scorpion. it is a magical girl. it wears louboutin heels.

Hello Tumblr friends, it’s been awhile.

I think I’ll be hanging out here again when I have some time. :)

How are all of you lovely people?

[noblezou]

alnehsaurus: We’ve missed you! Glad to hear things are better for you. Feel free to shoot me a message to catch up if you want <3

eyestumblin: omg how are youuuuuu ninjaeyecandy: I’m so glad to see you’re back and hear you’re happier with life. Wishing you all the best. <3 shadottie liked this. Awwwww, you all remember me. ;-; I’ve missed you guys as well and would think about you often. I have to get going to work but I’m planning on writing a (hopefully) short update post tonight just to get everyone up to speed. Tell me how all of you are!!! It’s been eight months! What’s new in your lives? :3

[noblezou]

ninjaeyecandy: I moved to Chicago and got a cat and I’m SO MUCH HAPPIER. Looking forward to hearing all about your updates. <3

alnehsaurus: Things are good for me too! I moved back to Scotland to live w/ my bf again and started a new career as a painter! I am currently doing watercolor commissions and couldn’t be happier 8)

Wahhhh~! Ninja! If you are ever in MN or I’m in Chi-town LET’S HANG OUT.

alnehsaurus! SCOTLAND?! SO COOL. I’m planning on taking a trip to Europe in 2018. If you are still around, I’d love to visit. :3

So, update about me. I’m going to try and make this really short.

Eight months ago, I left tumblr because I was spending far too much time in my room and not enough time exploring the fuck out of Japan. I didn’t actually explore too much, but I made an effort to get out and walk around and/or hang out at coffee shops and read my Japanese book. (Spoiler alert: I STILL haven’t finished a book in Japanese yet. IT’S MY GOAL FOR THIS YEAR.)

I was poor as shit, didn’t have enough to eat on a daily basis, I lost 20 pounds but I fucking made it in Japan for a year with a lot of help from my family and friends. It was a hard year but ultimately a good experience and I wouldn’t change anything that happened, including the awful breakup.

I came home in November and moved back in with my parents because I’m an adult and they are awesome and are letting me stay here until I get my feet back on the ground. (Read: find a full time job and can financially support myself.)

I started working part time at the grocery store I worked at 5 years ago and I’m still there. I’ve been looking for full time jobs but when I send my resume out into the black hole of job searching, nothing comes back. So, with my dear sister’s urging, I finally said fuck it and started applying to doggie daycares because I really think I want to do something with dogs.

I started working at a doggie daycare three weeks ago and I’m actually quitting because it’s very chaotic and not at all what I want. BUT. BUT BUT BUT. I have been hired by ANOTHER doggie daycare that is a small, family owned company with plenty of dog training opportunities. AND they can get me full time status after my probationary three months.

So I’m working two jobs, I’m fucking exhausted, but I feel really fucking good about where my life is heading. Yes, I’m still living paycheck to paycheck (and probably always will), I have very few friends here in MN but the few I have are awesome, I’m borrowing a car and I’m living with my parents again.

But to be perfectly honest, I haven’t been this happy in a long time and it feels SO NICE.

I have a few goals I’d like to achieve in the next five years:

Get a place to live (a house preferably) Get a car (I really want a Kia Soul!) Get a dog (or 1,397,635) Travel to Europe in 2018 Travel to Japan in 2020 for the Olympics

Life is looking good. My family has been nothing but supportive and I am truly blessed to have them. I love them so much. 

That was a lot longer than I thought it would be. Haha, whoops. So, if you want to know any further details, shoot me a message or something. :)

Advice for girls: buy skinny jeans in the boy’s section

They’re more comfortable, still form fitting, and best of all: THE POCKETS. THEY HAVE ACTUAL POCKETS.

don’t believe me? look:

these are boys pants, and they look just as good on me as any other skinny jeans I own

See that phone? I’m going to put it in the pocket. Must be so small right??

Ah yes, girl pants length. Probably can’t fit any further than that-

what? what’s this?

Good god. Oh good lord in heaven. This is blasphemous.

Look at how much room is still there. There’s chaos in the streets. Babies are crying. Fashion designers are screaming out of fear of the unknown.

Buy your pants in the boys section, girls. Live in the beautiful world you deserve where you can fit shit in your pocket.

[ohmslewis]

Also buy your flannel in the boys section. They have a working little pocket on the chest and they are not made of whatever material is thinner than PAPER so they will actually keep you warm.

[backtoabnormal-deactivated20180]

Sweeeeet

[americanfitnessstory]

If only I could buy bras in the men’s section. I’m sure they would be cheaper and come with little boob pockets.

SPREADING THE WORD BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE HELL OUT OF THIS

[sakaimii]

This is so true. I’m wearing boy pants right now!

[noblezou]

The longer I live here, the more disconnected, apathetic and isolated I feel about everything and everyone I care about here and back home.

Turns out that adulthood is basically a long series of conversations about how tired you are, interspersed with smiling sympathetically as someone else tells you how tired they are (but you’re thinking they are not nearly as tired as you).

Me to a friend: The Mass Effect games fucking destroyed me emotionally, they’re great you should play them
