maybe if i had my own OCs again maybe that would fix everything 🩷 maladaptive daydreaming is kind of like a dead wife
i saw orville live. everyone there was very queer. i saw stars ✨
little toddler on a bike yesterday pointed at me and yelled "MAMA" i think my heart jumped
i don't think my 20 year old neurodiverse coworkers appreciate enough that i'm the eldest daughter because they were so bored today that one of them took my water bottle and started flipping it. instead of getting pissed off at them touching my stuff i went into big sister mode
i haven't posted a selfie here for a few years so i thought why not! im on mullet-ing this time. its my first time having my natural color in decades. i love having silver/pastel pink but my health hasn't allowed me to keep that hobby up.
did my nails too to make myself feel something. they are press ons with uv glue. they usually stay around two weeks. pretty good i think!
WARNING: this is going to be a long post
So… skwaa (sachiin) surprised me with a special video compilation of sweet birthday greetings from my beloved friends and I was extremely touched. Not to mention theanomalousfreak (mayu) put together a sweet (and adorably cheesy) slideshow with even more lovely greetings– AND THEN I GOT A PHYSICAL ENVELOPE IN THE MAIL FROM SACH WITH MORE LETTERS AND ART FROM FRIENDS WTH ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO DROWN ME WITH MY OWN TEARS– so yeah. I wanted to give everyone my thanks in this long post. (Sorry this reply is kind of late!)
I honestly wasn’t expecting anything like that, so it really took me by surprise. I literally laughed and cried reading through the messages. You guys probably already got the hint I’ve been feeling under the weather these past few weeks from my twitter statuses. (What a downer ew) In fact, the day before my birthday was pretty rough for me too. I won’t go in to too much details, but let’s just say I tend to cut myself down a lot, especially when I’m stressed. So when I read through all your lovely words, it was a reminder that I’m actually not alone and I have amazing friends who will always be there for me. I know I go missing from time to time (everyone kind of does, we’re busy), but I thought it’d be important to tell you guys I NEVER FEEL NEGLECTED BY ANY OF YOU, OK? I might make myself feel lonely sometimes, but I know very well you guys put the effort in making sure I’m in the loop. And when I need someone to talk to, I know you guys will always lend an ear to me. So thank you, you guys are the best and I don’t really know what I did to deserve such an incredible bunch of friends.
But anywho, after watching the video, I was really flustered and spouting to sachii things like “THIS IS TOO MUCH I’M NOT WORTHY HOW AM I GONNA FACE THEM THIS IS TOO SWEET IM CRY” and then MAYU had to hit me with even more feels and I be like “WHAT THERE’S MORE? WHY THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS BEING SO NICE TO ME STAHP” and that’s when I died. So yeah. Here we go.

HIKA HIKAAAA!! Uguu I wish my phone took better pics, but your trads still look FREAKIN FABULOUS. LOOK HOW CUTE RxL IS ALL SMILING AND HAPPY<3 Thanks for caring for my well being, lovely. ; v ; To be honest, I’ve always looked up to you or respected you like an older sister since 101 days. I remember doing a lot of noob things because I was new to role play groups, but you were always so sweet and patient with me haha. Plus, I believe you were the first one to get me into yaoi manga LOL So thanks for sharing your strength, advice, and love! I wish smiles and happiness for you everyday too! \o/ <333

Hey aya aya~ u 3 u <333 THANKS FOR THE CHIBIS LOOK HOW ADOWEBOL DIS IS GAAAH!!! And also thanks for the bday wishes, love. I know we don’t talk too often, but I am fond of all of the times we have talked before in the past <3 Like how one time we just chatted about random stuff during a livestream ’cause I told you I was drawing and that you wanted to watch haha! It was a really long time ago, so you might not remember. T 7 T But I guess it goes to show how I’ve always admired your assertiveness. Stay cute and I wish the best for you too, pretty~!

OKAY MAMA, DID YOU AND ARA INTENTIONALLY MAKE 22 STARS IN TOTAL OR WAS THAT A COINCIDENCE *SQUINTS HARD* Either way, I love them and they’re now sitting safely in a special little jar on my shelf. u q u <3 Ever since we’ve met, there was always such a warm and lovely aura about you. So of course after reading your three //CHOKESANDSMACKSSACHANDMAYU messages, you can probably guess I was already feeling warm and fuzzy all over. Thanks for always looking out for me, mama.<3 I feel that you’re naturally a clever, warmhearted, and reliable friend that I can always count on. I truly adore you to bits. //// <333

IVAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I just wanna let you know I was laughing out loud while reading most of your messages, they were great! I probably died at the end of that little Landon poem/excerpt thing that said
“Eat 100 pcs Ebi Tempura
On a date with Lady GaGa,
That’s not something he would do
What he’d probably do is…
Rachie”
You’re just this great positive burst of energy that makes everyone smile! Idk why you say you feel intimidated by me when I have the bravery of a chicken nugget?!?! *CLINGS TO YOUR LEG* You’re all about happy and fun vibes and I love you for it. u 3 u Thanks for all the bootiful RxL artsu and birthday wishes!!!<333

DON’T GET ME STARTED WITH THIS NUGGET. FIRST OF ALL HDU. ( I know this isn’t even half the art you sent me but //SHOVES THESE CHEEBS IN EVERYONE’S FACE) So sneaky, you really killed me this year. Why would you do all this. o)-< Thanks for going out of your way to make my actual birthday extra special this year, babu bebot. <3 We’ve been close friends for almost four years already, I still don’t know how you can put up with my crazy anxiety levels LMAO You’re my SBB. u q u Most times our minds are really in sync and we share similar thoughts. I guess that’s why it’s so surprising to either of us when we actually don’t see things eye to eye. But looking back, I see how much we’ve grown and matured together these past few years, and just how special our friendship is to the both of us. Nothing can ever replace that. I loves you, babu bebot!
