Whatcha been up to lately?
Eh, not much. Lots of reading and writing. Gaming always. Spending some time with friends. What about you?
So the usual? How are the girls? <3
Whatcha reading and writing? And gaming, for that matter lol
Constantly being tired? Lol. Plus drawing and reading and attempting to keep up with the dishes XD
Pretty much. Rosie and the guinea girls are doing really well. Nessa sings my praises every time I come in the room. Akira's taken more interest in watching stuff on my phone. Rosie is finally learning a little bit of etiquette for being up on the bed... She takes up a lot of room for a mid sized dog.
Reading - a book called "Chlorine" by Jade Song. It's... Interesting. Not my kind of book really, but I'm still waiting for it to pick up. I dunno how to really explain it.
Writing - poetry stuff that seems like it could be a part of my poem compilation/short story project. Also, still writing a bit at a time on my novel "Garden of Eaten". I dunno how much I've told you about it. 😅
Gaming - Ugh... I'm playing the original Tomb Raider game. I was really enjoying it for a long time, but there are bonus levels after you beat it that are making it feel too long-winded.
I'm tired too... Pretty sure I'm getting sick. I dunno, my throat hurts really bad on one side... But only sometimes. And people around me have been sick too... I just seem to be taking a long time to get there.
Ooh, what are you reading lately?
What if I WANNA respond to all of it? ;)
Have the girls been grieving?
I do the same thing! *spread eagles over the bed* XD
Then why are you reading it? Give it away, move on to a new one <3
Do tell. <3
What console? What kind of bonus levels?
Aren’t you always sick?
I just finished “The School Story” <3
Bwahaha, well have at it. 😁
They aren't grieving anymore really. It's good to see them being themselves again. ❤️
Heh, as long as you don't throw elbows in your sleep. Those are sharp.
I don't hate it or anything. It's not a bad book, I'ma finish it for sure. I just really hope it's got a lot towards the end.
Do tell on the stories? The poem collection is designed to be some of the darkest stuff Ive written, basically creating a conspiracy theory about things I've gone through in my past, as if I were part of an experiment. It's unfortunately gonna be a long project though, because I'm just fitting pieces together as they come to me. As for the full on story, it's been fun to write. It's over halfway to novel length. It's a horror-adventure sort of story, and it's got a lot to do with an alternate world. The part I'm writing right now... They're in that alternate world, on a cruise ship, with a crew of mannequins, sailing over a sea of TV static. A dark figure is turning the mannequins on them. Anyway 😅 the story also low-key explores bigger picture stuff, such as the psychological effects of leaders and media on the consciousness.
It was originally on PS1, I'm playing the PS5 remaster though. I played it way, way back in the day, and I liked it less than I do now. Still, these last bonus levels are a slog. Like, the end of the game takes place in Atlantis, and it's super weird, these monsters hatch from eggs on the wall, there's weird fleshy walls and floors, lots of lava, traps... But the storyline had plenty of that. These extra levels are just way, way more of it, and you can tell that they were just having fun messing around with level design at that point. It would have been awesome if it was one level, but it's four, and they're all unbelievably long. I'm only on the second one, and I couldn't even finish it last night. I had to drop a save and quit. I've got the willpower to finish it...
I'm under the weather a lot... I may only be actually sick like once or twice a year. Problem is, I've been exposed to a lot of sick this week. I've been tired, and for a short bit, my throat was actually sore in one spot. It stopped though, so I dunno
What's The School Story?
Remind me to respond to this when I have more time lol <3
You have time. 😜 You can respond to the parts you want to, not always all of it
Wowwwww demanding!!!! ;)
Was I wrong? 😂
All the Right Moves, OneRepublic <3
The same one from earlier this week? Or did you mean a different one? It's ok if you wanted to double declare your love for this song though. 😂
I sent it already? Welp. I guess I really love this song XD
How about E For Extinction by TFK?
Heheh. 😁
Yeah, that one is cool too. I really like the like "when we move, we camouflage ourselves"
Mhmm <3
True Welcome to the Masquerade by TFK. BLAST IT <3
Try*
That one is worth blasting. 😁 I already had that one collected
Then blast Invincible by Skillet ;)
That one's really good too. 😁 It's got that industrial rock sound.
Industrial?
Yeah, I don't know how to explain that. 😅 Its just a subgenre
I is confused. Hehe
Instead of just instruments, it uses synths, noise, and stuff like that.
Zzzzzz
Waketh! Awakeneth! Hark, the day is upon us.
I'm sick... 😔 For sure definitely sick. Still needing to run one errand, and avoid getting anyone else sick.
Mask.
Yeah, it's the nice thing to do. I don't wanna go out again today... My dog woke me up multiple times in the night needing outside. That never happens. Of course it had to be today .. I think I was about to get over this illness and everything. At least she's a good dog that didn't mess all over the floor
No one wants sneezy slime all over them XD
Did you stay home?
Get a doggy door?
How you feeling now?
Lol, true. I did stay home today...
No doggy door. She can leap over 6 foot fences without hesitation, so she has to be on a lead.
Not feeling my worst, but pretty bad still. Rosie was having some blood in those stools... We almost took her to the emergency vet. We're monitoring... It seems to be getting better, and I hope it is
It’s kinda cool that one of my songs in my playlist is a Torean song <3
(No I’m not flirting. Lol)
Got any more song suggestions? Keep in mind that I’m easily triggered, plus the harder songs kinda trigger me too, so I don’t listen to as much hard rock or metal anymore.
Heheh, it's a good thing. 😁
Song recommend for you... Maybe, try "Burnin' For You" by Blue Oyster Cult. I think you'd like it.
@Torean
I realized by the first notes that I knew it lol
Not a fan tbh. lol. Next? <3
Try "Run" by OneRepublic. <3
Lol I was worried you'd know it.
I'll check your other one out soon. Gimme some guidelines on your recommendation, because I could go in a lot of directions, and I'll probably choose wrong.
You ever thought about how... We're both just... usernames on a screen, but we're real people with real lives and doing mundane ordinary things all day, and... idk. It makes more sense in my head.
Like how are you a real person???? lol. Like how do you like genuinely exist IRL, and you live and breathe and do life things and I don't see it? lol
Idk. I sound crazy. But I think you get it. <3
Lol, I do get it. It's weird to think about. I feel like I couldn't picture your IRL at all.
Maybe the weirder thing is how far apart I am from my normal when I'm online. And then wondering if it's like that for you
I have it a little easier because you had yourself as your pfp for ages.
How do you imagine me to look? (I’m neither confirming or denying lol)
How so?
I’m sometimes crankier IRL than here lol… But mostly I think I’m the same <3
Heh, true.
I imagine you to have curly hair... Or at least partly curly. Maybe mid height? With glasses? A little thinner than average build. That could be totally wrong, or I might've pieced it together over time or something. 😅 I have no idea.
I dunno, I just have way less of a filter in person, free-spirited and obnoxious. I think the obnoxious part does translate to online. I'm often crankier IRL too 😂
Hmm interesting ;) What race/ethnicity /whatever it’s called am I? Hehe
I see no obnoxiousness hehe
I can see the cranky in you lol
I think you miiiight be latina. Maybe.
Lol, none whatsoever. 😁
What makes you think that
I was being serious lol
*?
I dunno, it seems to fit. 😅 It wouldn't surprise me if you were Native American or Asian either, but that would be less common in the southern US overall. Unless I'm wrong about that, but I think you've mentioned living there.
You don't see me as being obnoxious? 😁
Hmmmmmm interesting…. ;)
Heheh, I must've said the right one. 😁
I neither confirm nor deny. Lol
Maybe I’m Australian Aboriginal.
Btw, I have an awful memory. If I ask you the same things, etc, please be patient with me and just repeat it. I have memory loss. Caused by sleep deprivation and poor diet, probably.
No worries, I might do the same. 😊
Ok, so I didn't like "Run" by OneRepublic... Sounds way too much like Imagine Dragons.
To recommend you... What about "Lump" by The Presidents of the United States of America
I forget everything. Lol
Are you hating on Imagine Dragons now???? XD
Lemme try it later. Blood sugar is acting up a bit. (Yes, I just ate. Body hasn’t acknowledged it yet lol)
Oh wait. I looked up the lyrics. I know that song lol.! Next???
What kinda WEIRD song is that??? XD (Read the lyrics! Lol)
I'm not hating on Imagine Dragons now... I've been consistently hating on them since almost the very beginning. 😁 (They had at least a couple of good ones to start with - Radioactive and Demons)
Lol, yeah, PUSA is a fun and weird band in general. Actually, my one gripe with them is that they have too many songs personifying insects... Strange gripe
How about one that I grew up with... "We Still K i l l The Old Way" - LostProphets.
What’s wrong with Imagine Dragons?????
I’m sorry what XD
Remind me later <3
They just sound like retail music to me. 😅 Like, from when I worked retail and they were constantly on.
Lol, yeah, their lead singer is interesting... A lot of his lyrics are great, and then he has songs about, or to, insects. I'm pretty sure none of those are among their hits.
Ok, reminding you
….ok, that’s a legit argument. You right. Hehe
Why is Dude so obsessed with bugs??? Lol
I’m not moving rn XD
Bwahaha, even a fan has to admit. 😁 I don't judge people for liking them though.
Lol, he's made songs personifying other animals too. He's weird. I kinda appreciate his sense of humor sometimes though. They're a good band too.
Lol, you barely have to move for that. Also, I have another song lined up.
Sureeeeee you don’t. Lol
Have you heard “This is Not a Song, It’s a Sandwich”???
I was curled up in a ball on my bed so… yeah. Lol
Later. Hehe
Lol, I mean... I mostly reserve judgment for even worse artists... Those do exist.
Yeah, that's Psychostick, I've listened to all their stuff. They can be pretty funny.
It's later 😁
Name one.
Why am I not surprised XD
Remind me later-er. Hehe
What’s the song??? Lol
Check this out, it shows JUST how deep the ocean is! https://neal.fun/deep-sea/
It’s not gonna give you malware. Lol! I just did it myself lol
Holy crap, that is awesome. Fish get weird in the deeper depths. 😁
Right!????
I just ate a bunch of desserts I didn’t even LIKE because of my ED. Like a lot. And didn’t enjoy them even. Sigh
Awww, that's no bueno. I've done that too .. especially when stressed.
Andddd now I have stomach cramps. Yay.
Oof. I hope those pass soon
I guess my body is resetting itself XD
Heh, good way to look at it.
Cramps are mostly gone now <3
Good good!
Whatcha reading and doing lately?
I'm on a new book, Assassin of Reality by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko... Almost like a weird gritty Russian version of Harry Potter, without magic in the same sense. It's interesting, this is the 2nd book, and the 1st one was likeable.
And I'm on a new game, Goat Simulator 3. 😁 A game that lets me summon giant tentacles to destroy fashion shows, or go into a guy's house and flood it with farm animals and rubber chickens, and morph into the form of a guy in an orange jumpsuit, wearing a cake as a hat, and screaming in the guy's face to wake him up, before activating a jetpack and careening all over the living room. 😂 I feel like a kid again.
I’m reading an Enola Holmes book. Did you know it was a book????
How did you find a video game about your life???????? ;)
I've heard of it, but that's cool, how is it?
Bwahaha, right? Maybe I was a was a really mischievous goat in a past life... 😁
You’ve never seen it????
It’s really good, intriguing <3
You ARE a goat. Admit it. ;)
I don't believe so. It looks familiar though. Seems kinda cool.
Heheh, maybe. 😁 I dunno. Maybe I'm a lion. Or a chimera... Those have a lion and goat head... Sometimes an eagle or dragon head.
You MUST watch Enola Holmes!
But you won’t. XD
You are a platypus.
Lol, who knows, I might. 😁
So they say. Unless they say I'm a lion. 😜 Maybe I'm both, depending on what side is dominant at the moment.
Who are they???
Meh, my mom, a couple of friends
You are an AXOLOTL.
Heh, maybe so. That's a valid match too.
What animal are you though?
Probably one of those jellyfish from SpongeBob. Just go with the flow, not being proactive…
I disagree, but those jellyfish are kinda fun too, so I dunno
