The Musings of Ki, Cy, and Mr. T
Torean! You updated your profile! Lol
Like a month ago. 😁 Yay, someone noticed
I don’t obsessively check your profile, sooooo lol
Lol, probably a good thing 😂
People don’t change their profiles often enough for me to care lol

Between the horror of space and the terror of time... what is there? Guinea pigs?
Heheh, absolutely. It's one of my favorite songs lines, it's from Death Valley Nights by Blue Oyster Cult. It just reminds me of old comically drawn ads saying stuff about "The Horror of something! The Terror of something else!" But, like, low-key, time and space are kind of horrifying/terrifying, and I'd never thought about that before hearing the song. 😂
@Torean
Sometimes I wish I lived in those old-fashioned times.
"My darling, let me tell you this, it's crazy." Sums it up pretty perfectly for me!
Heheh, I can see the appeal. 😂
Check my last post under general. ***TW*** Btw
I am SO tired. Lol
Same. My jaw hurts so bad. Apparently cold/mucus meds can do that. Either that, or I grinded in my sleep harder than ever
Do you have TMJ?
Yeah. I'm sposed to wear a mouth guard at night, but I can't sleep with it in. It makes me per minute and it pinches just ever so slightly in one spot.
Per minute?
Sure feels like it. 😅
What does that mean???
My mouth produces a lot of saliva with the mouth guard in. Like, an absurd, not even funny amount.
Lovely XD

@Torean
I hope you have both managed to rest. I stayed up all night, then got a couple hours of sleep before lunch. There seems no rhyme or reason for my sleep schedule.
It's almost time to sleep again but I feel fully energised and awake. I do try to wear myself out during the day... maybe I need to do even more?
Thanks, I got an ok amount of rest. Maybe you should relax or meditate between wearing yourself out, or sometimes after. I have a way of wearing myself out, and remaining restless 24/7. Trying to change that, starting with limiting how many Duolingo lessons I do.
@Torean
One day I will find balance. Surely. Right...? I cling to hope!
What language are you learning? I learned Japanese for a year but remember very little. I know how to say, "I don't speak Japanese; do you speak English?"
Heheh, you'll get there.
You know more Japanese than I do. I can understand the characters pretty well and say certain things. I'm learning/reviewing Spanish and Italian. I've finished courses for those, but I'm far from fluent... Especially in Italian. I'm learning Japanese too. I have also been focusing on Polish lately, and I might let Japanese become the focus instead. Duolingo doesn't teach Polish well, and it's kind of become a stressor. I feel like if I minimize my time with it, I don't even feel like I'll lose much of what I really know with it, because I still don't feel confident with simple phrases.
Boutta sound dumb rn but
SINCE WHEN IS JURASSIC PARK A BOOK????
Bwahaha, since the beginning!
My friend has read it, and he really liked it.
I thought it was just a movie O.O
To be fair, I don't think that the Jurassic World series ever had books.
@Torean
@jesusredeemedme2425
Will you read the book, Kiara? I don't know how you read so much. You are a machine!
Idk lol
I’m trying to go through all my millions of books so I can justify going to 2 book sales in a little over a month hehe
Also… Some of my books give me bad feelings.
I give you permission to not finish books that are triggering you! (Not that you need my permission, just letting you know, your mental health is more important)
Also, book sales are the best. 😁
It’s not the books themselves… but it is. It’s hard to explain…
Have you been to any lately? :)
I got some new books for cheap, yes. 😁 And I have more room for them too. Finishing out the short stories I'm on before long and I'll start reading the new ones.
Yay! How long is your TBR list hehe
5 books long at the moment? I think
Child’s play. ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
I ordered a philosophical book, and want another. I'm buying more than I'm reading at the moment. Like I said, love hate relationship with books.
Do they have LFLs in Australia?
@jesusredeemedme2425
I think so! I have seen free books on offer, but I had to look up if they were called LFLs. Beautiful concept.
Download the app and see if there are any near you <3
I’m currently reading Under the Egg. It’s like From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler <3
What's that about?
I HATE my body
@jesusredeemedme2425
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of mine either. Pain in my hands and they're too big, bit of a belly, just too much hair, not broad shoulders, teeth never got the work they needed, useless left eye, doesn't cope well with sickness, occasional shortness of breath, torso too long, feet too small... I could probably go on. There are a lot of imperfections. But it's what I've got, and I'm doing my best to appreciate it for what it is.
If you don't mind me asking, what's bothering you about your body?
Useless left eye?
Check my last post under general
Yo, I have most of the exact same issues with my body. 😅 Minus the eye, shoulder, and teeth part. But as of this year I have mostly gray hair, I've already had to dye it twice. My left shoulder is easily hurt by working out, and my throat has always gotten scratchy if I try to talk too much, sing too much, or especially if I read out loud.
I feel like people are focusing on the physical issues more than the heart issues on my last post… It’s making me sad :(
It's a lot to focus on. What aspect of the heart ones do you wish they would?
Idk how to explain it
Might help if ya try though
I just don’t wanna hate myself anymore.
Why do you feel the self hate? Do you feel like you deserve the self hate?
I’m gross
Idk
You are so not gross. But what's making you feel icky?
My extra fat, my lack of self control
Also the fact that I just sneezed and now SNOT hehe
Yer not fat, you've told us as much. So the self control thing... That's a hard relate from me... :/
Yeah, and the allergies are no joke right now.
I know… I just feel fat. Y’all would look at me and go, “Pfft, please.” Lol
How so?
Luckily I don’t have allergies lol. I guess im just allergic to my mom or something XD
Lol, maybe. I know what it's like feeling fat though... And I really do have a bit of a gut... I mean, not much, but I can't really hide it.
Bruh, the self-control part? I can't get through a single day without chips or some kinda dessert ish thing.
Luckily for you indeed. 😂 I'm allergic to a ton of dog hair, like Rosie is putting me through.
@Torean
It seems all three of us struggle with self-control! I have definitely gotten better, but I do give in, almost daily. I'm trying to replace the bad things I used to go to with healthier options. One day at a time...
It would help if healthier options were more filling. 😅 I believe in you though, and one day at a time indeed.
Knock knock… Anybody there? ;)
Y’all reading anything good lately??? <3
I'm reading Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. It is indeed good
What’s that about?
It's like... This girl is babysitting this kid, but it slowly starts to seem that his drawings are being brought on by a ghost communicating with him. It gets deeper than that though. I'm almost done with it, and there's some interesting twists
You read… interesting books hehe
Absolutely. 😁
That one even has a lot of actual pictures in it.
In a horror book????
Yeah, pictures of the drawings. I finished it today. 😁 It was really good
Never reading through your bookshelf then XD
Heh, 90% of my reading is horror or sci fi. A little bit of fantasy and various other stuff.
Mine is mostly kids books… Historical fiction especially. I feel like a lot of people don’t read kids books because people think they’re young, dumb, whatever… I can tell you this. My life has been changed by kids books. My heart broken by them, inspired to change myself and the world because of them. People seriously underestimate them <3
I don't underestimate them, but I don't typically seek kids books out. My main reason might be my own writing. When I'm writing stories, I have a hard time going into as much detail as other writers. I'm good at moving action forward, slowly revealing character, and sometimes setting the atmosphere... But I really don't do it in enough words to do it justice. I also don't write conversation that well.
Not enough words? How so?
I dunno, it should go into deeper reflection sometimes. Random thoughts. I either spend forever on that or not enough time. Usually it's not enough because I want the story to roll through all my ideas
Maybe outline it first? Then flesh it out
Too organized. It'll get scrapped as soon as I have a whim. 😂
Oh lol
@Torean
It's good you know of your strengths and perceived weaknesses. I think that knowledge will only improve your writing.
I'm not great at forging conversations... when I try, they end up kind of dry. Either way, it's fun, writing. I'll get back to our conversation soon!
Thank ya, you get it. 😁 I think so too
And forcing convos is hard, so don't try to totally force anything, but I see you did write something. Whatever the case, it's good to see you!
@jesusredeemedme2425
Hmm, do you have any recommendations for me Kiara? In regards to kids books? Perhaps it'd help me read a book! I bought this complicated book recently, just not in the frame of mind for that sort of thing.
It depends. Are you looking for deep, or light-hearted? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Maybe one of both? Both sound interesting ^^
Paper Things, and The One and Only Ivan, for the deep books. Journey Beyond the Burrow for light-hearted <3
