WELL

It has been a hot ass minute, almost 9 months of a hot minute even though I promised myself I would try to make a post at least once a month what can I say ? Things happen. I've kept a small list of things I wanted to write about but clearly it just stayed a list, some of those things I don't even care to talk about anymore but I wont count them out for future posts but I've either worked them out or moved on.

• I have met a goal I had been reaching for for several years and am pretty elated but I still have some work to do and need to work on the maintenance that comes after reaching said goal.
• I am keeping myself on track financially 
• I am starting a project (which I'll talk about in another post)

I generally have to keep my plans small, I can't really give myself a big list of shit to do and not expect myself to get overwhelmed. Hopefully I can get a new post out before monday, or at least by the middle of next week...as long as its not another 9 months.

friendship can feel exhausting

I had another post semi prepared but its being interrupted in light of a resent drama that has occurred in my life *side-eye*  

One thing about my personality is I am fairly independent and when I feel like someone is trying to "hold me down" or "control" what I do or can I feel like noping the fuck away from that. I also really hate people who guilt trip, it's probably one of my biggest pet peeves/turn off, its childish and being childish is probably my second biggest pet peeve.

SO ON WITH THE STORY

A woman I've been friends with for over a decade has decided that our friendship is on the line apparently because of two events recently, one being the kicker and the other I guess you could say is the icing on the cake so here we go. About a week or so ago I went and saw a movie with my sister because I had a free matinee on my AMC rewards card and it was going to expire that day or week I think but that was my only day to go, so I asked my sister if she wanted to see a movie and we decided the only one we wanted to go see was the Nun so that's what we saw, fast foward a few days later (Saturday) this friend and I are talking about something and she mentions going to a movie with her kids and I say that I went to a movie too and when she finds out she is quite dramatic saying that was one we were supposed to go see together blah blah I promised I'd see it with her (I don't recall promising but, like with a lot of movies we say, "omg we should totally go see that) and I said I was sorry but...I mean I did what I did. They day goes on and she mentions it a few more times in jest and all is fine.

She comes on the next say, all seems is well and she hasn't mentioned the movie or the "betrayal of friendship" and then she see's we all, aside from one person who didn't want any, have Chinese-American food, which was ordered because it was one of the people working that day's last day so a coworker offered to buy her lunch and then asked if any of us wanted to order too and most of of us said yes. She now she's pissed and starts having a melt down, with all this "no one cares about second shit" (she hardly ever works second shift though ?) and "strike three on our friendship" ( I didn't order the Chinese food, nor was it my idea) "guess I'll have to eat shitty cafeteria food because nobody care and I didn't bring food"
FIRST once we realized she was mad we said sorry but they ordered online around 10:30 a.m. online so it'd be ready by our lunch around 12, her shift started at 12:30 so its not like she was there and we just didn't ask, even if we had thought to call or text what if we didn't get through ? Were we supposed to wait ? SECOND it wasn't for her it was for the employee leaving ? 

It's not like we didn't apologize or offer to go pick her up some but some people were also stirring the pot with her, mostly because I don't think they realized she was 100% fucking serious even saying she wanted to change the weekend she was on because no one cared about her...ok.

Towards the end of the night she ended up needing my help for something and while we were solving the problem we were talking semi normally about the situation but then by the time it was time for me to leave she was having another fit about everything.

I feel like she's lashing out about it mostly because the previous weekend her parents and brother went to a family reunion and not only didn't invite her and her family but they didn't even tell them it was being hosted, which is super shitty but...I didn't do that to her. I feel like she's feeling like everyone around her is doing things and not including her, I was just the "icing on the cake" so I'm the one getting the rage from it. I'm not apologizing again and I'm not going to continue to feel bad about either. She has done some really crappy things to me in the years we've known each other and I've never even thought about strikes on friendship thing or anything...shit happens, people make mistakes, as far as I'm concerned its her move from here.

AW 2018

Another year, another AWA.

I had fun, I always do and as usual I regret not cosplaying...even something simple. I just fear people thinking it looks bad but y'know you get to a convention and there are great costumes and not so great ones but everyone seems very confident no matter how they look so I'm actually going to make an effort next year.
What I'm thinking so far is

• Bulma from DragonBall
• Kuroko from Kuroko no Basket
• Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho

A small list but I don't want to overwhelm myself with options.

Anyways, of course I didn't take any pictures of cosplayers even though I saw tons and tons of really neat ones but I just can't bring myself to ask. I know its probably not a big deal for most of them but IT IS TO ME.

I did buy some merch...as per usge but I retained myself and only bought a few of the many many many things I wanted. This year artist ally was before all of the vendors which I thought was a great change because they get exposure first which is wonderful I ended spending the most money on artist which I usually don't because so much other stuff has caught attention before I got there.

I only regret not picking up a couple of the DVD's I had my eye on, I figured I might be able to find them on amazon or somewhere cheaper turn out most of the vendors had them cheaper *eye roll* but I'll keep that in mind for next year.

SO SO SO here's what I got, links above pictures to artist website/page

These next two things I don't know who the artists are I had business cards for them both but I guess they fell out of my bag or something so if you know who either artist is let me know !

also a little Yuri phone charm 

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST I FOUND SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOREVER !!!! A Deku nendroid ヽ(；▽；)ノ
I've been wanting one, and the Bakugo one, for so long but since they are a rare nendroid you can only find them for $300+ and I saw this one and it was the last one they had and the price was...reasonable so I got it !

*edit
I don't know why there is so much space between some of the posts, I tried to fix it in HTML mode to no avail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Movie list

I've been compiling a list...a long list, of cult classic-y type movies for me and my sister to watch together, mostly for her benefit because she hasn't seen most of them yet and it's really a shame but we all can't have tastes as good as me 👌 .

ANYWAYS

Its a long.ass.list. (at least I feel like it is) so I'm putting it here just in case something happens to the notebook I put it in. Naturally I'll mark out ones as we've seen them and I starred the 5 I have't seen and a page break to save you all from a long ass load.

• Blade (the trilogy)                                                
• Taxi Driver
• American Graffiti
• Spaceballs
• O'Brother where art thou
• This is Spinal Tap
• Romeo + Juliet
• Space Jam
• Schindlers List
• Jackie Brown
• Reservoir Dogs

?NEW?THINGS?

The weather has been fairly nice lately, a nice breeze and a fair amount of rain, I'm hoping it means we're in for a nice fall/winter. I remember the Christmas before last was 90 fucking degrees, which was ridiculous but I don't control the weather.

I guess the cooler weather has me in that kind of mood which also gets me in that "changing" kind of mood, kind of makes me want to start some new things or try some new things or something. I think most people feel that in January but it usually hits me about this time of year. Like I'd like to pick up a new hobby or try new restaurants and shit like that but I never really do. I barely keep up with the "hobbies" I have now and once you start getting in all those types of things they become expensive it seems like and as for trying new places...I have no excuse, I'm just kind of lazy and I never want to drive.

But I try to keep a good head about it and not let it discourage me from still at least wanting to try. I keep my list of places and things relatively small so that even if I only do 2 or 3 a year I'm not feeling like I failed.Also remind me that trying a new location of a place I've been 100 times does not count. SOOO we'll see, small hopes here in favor of getting things done.

ITSA ME

So, hello...its me

I've been moody, which is kind of normal because I'm generally moody but like petty...lashing out kind of irritable moody. I figure its mostly because I'm tired but also I'm on my period.

I've been feeling really crowded out lately also, like my space is being invaded physically and mentally and its draining, not that it takes a lot to wear me out to be honest but still. I need SPACE I need SOLACE I need to GET AWAY. I hate the feeling of being trapped and my time being used unwisely aka, spent on me, myself, and I.

I've been working a lot and the long stretches with small breaks is starting to make me a little ragged. I hope when summer is over and there aren't so many people taking days off things will go back to being a little more normal but until then I feel like a dried sponge. I've been dragging at work too, yesterday I sat in a back stairwell (because it doesn't have cameras) for about 15 minutes to rest because we have been kind of busy the last few days. I normally don't do stuff like that but I need a few minutes alone.

I'm getting my haircut on Tuesday so I'm hoping that will help, y know so I can at least look put together while I die on the inside. I'm hoping my bridesmaids dress will come in soon, I had to return it and order a bigger size because the bust was too small on the first on even though everything else fit pretty well sans the length of course but when your short you just expect that. 

This kind of a crappy post/update but since I haven't made a post in a while and was feeling like....I did.

FOOD BLOG #2

SO

For this weeks food log its kind of....uh...disgraceful.

Not only did I not really log anything but I think I had one "balanced" meal the whole week, which was a wrap on a spinach tortilla (which I only ate because my mom made me lunch) with buffalo chicken lunch meat and humus with some pop chips and a fruit mix.

At work they extended nurses week an extra few days so I ate there because I have no will power, I opted for the veggie burgers to save on fat and also because they're super good, no bun because the bread makes me sick with beans, coleslaw (much better this time) and some chips and I had that about three times through the week, along with chick fil a one day because we were busy and I had cake 5 times 💩, it was graduation for one of my coworkers kids and she brought in an extra cake she had like a devil and cake is my absolute favorite so....y'know.

I don't really even remember what all I ate besides that, its just been a mess, the only good thing is since I was so about eating healthier and all that shit it made me really disappointed reflecting on all the decisions I made. I knew it wouldn't be something I did 100% at the beginning so the guilt is a good thing I suppose, it means I still have this idea that I'm going to do better in my mind.
