I’ve left my clothes in the washer too long and now they have that smell. I thought I was saving time by putting a load of clothes in the washer before I went out but now they smell like something maritime sailors couldn’t stand. It looks like I’ll have rewash them. I’ll watch Youtube videos instead of going out.

i have one overflowing tub of t-shirts/tops, and i'm sure i'll have another with skirts, dresses, pants by the end of the day.
this is all stuff i do not want/cant fit into.
because there is just so much of it, i dont want to take pictures of everything without asking this first:
would anyone be interested in buying anything?? i promise to have low prices, ex. all tops $5 and under, skirts and pants and dresses $5, all +shipping
sizes range from small-xxl.
ETA: i will be posting stuff, hopefully soonish

Once I inadvertantly started thinking of my job as a RPG, it got better.
I hear that Castlevania/Karateka motif whenever I exit an elevator.
I'm just walking around, taking items around, encountering world monsters (street people) who sometimes challenge me or city people (office people) - I also never quite know their true motivations.

Oh Tony Stark, how I love thee...
Went to see Ironman with Narineh. Twas awesome. Too tired to type much though.
On a related note, how awesome were the previews?!!?! Best preview line up ever!
Lesse, just off the top of my head: Hulk, Chronicles of Narnia, Spirit, Batman...I think there were one or two more but I can't remember anymore. I'm so tired.
Did anyone else stay until the end? Narineh told me to stay until the end because there was a sneak preview for the next Ironman, sorta. Won't spoil it for whoever didn't see it but let me know in the comments if you want to know anyways. It was kind of trippy...just didn't invision that particular actor to represent that particular character. Rocks my socks though.
Ah I feel like geekying out and staying up late reading up on SHEILD and Avengers and stuff but can't. So sleepy...

I find it easier to write when I wear my shoes
It’s not impossible but I don’t feel 100 percent comfortable writing unless I am fully dressed and that includes wearing shoes. Kerrie sent me an email last week that didn’t reply to until today because every time I saw the unreplied email I was in my pajamas.
Since moving to my apartment in Grand Rapids I’ve made it a habit to take off my shoes. I am not sure if it’s even a house rule. When friends stop by to visit they’ll ask my roommates if they have to take off their shoes, my roommates seem unsure when they answer. It’s not like we have carpet.
I read an interview with Dan Clowes were he talked about old cartoonist use to wear suits when they went to their studios. When I’ve seen photo of Harvey Kurtzman, Will Eisner and Jack Kirby they usually are were ties. And they were super productive. They were professional.
So I am thinking I need to change my wardrobe so I can get more done. Maybe not going so far as wearing suits but at least stop spending half my day wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

The positive things that have happened as a result of/during this monstrous year from hell:
• I’ve discovered the true, real friendships I have with some people.
• I’ve made some incredibly bad-ass online friends.
• I’ve overcome my fear of allowing the internet to see my body.
• I’ve overcome my fear of allowing someone to see my home.
• I did what I had to do in order to have a surgery that was the correct choice for me...even when it seemed as if the entire medical community was doing everything it could to thwart me.
• T-shirt Empire!: Stage One
• I’ve put myself and my needs first...something I was never capable of doing before.
• Somehow became slightly e-famous. Encyclopedia Dramatica was the ultimate proof of that!
• I met Marilyn Wann and Joy Nash!
• Found some incredible and respectful doctors and actually made my health a priority.
• Finally being forced to do something about this house and everything in it.
• Being more mobile and feeling a lot better than I did a year ago.

I saw my therapist today and I cried. This is only the second time I’ve cried in the two years I’ve been seeing him. He asked me how I’ve been and I told him I’ve been very weepy and crying a lot.
It’s just... It’s been a really hard year. And I’ve been trying to shrug off my sadness as just being a result of “The Depression.” But the last couple of weeks I’ve begun to acknowledge that it isn’t that. At least not completely.
In the last year, as all of these insane/awful/life-altering things have been happening, I’ve been forced to realize that a lot of people aren’t who I thought they were. And it’s been painful. I think I’m mourning the people I thought they were and the relationships I thought I had. To realize that there are people who you can’t trust in the slightest and there are people who can’t even be bothered to send an email or make a phone call for months and months at a time... That there are people who love you and care about you and want to be there for you...unless it requires effort. It’s disappointing. It’s disappointing and sad.
And my two closest friends have moved away. And I don’t have the energy to try to reconnect with people I’ve lost touch with. Plus, well, I have absolutely nothing to talk about anymore so I avoid people out of fear that I’ll have nothing to say to anyone. I just feel lonely. Lonely in the most physical sense of the word.
Plus the move. Plus living with crazy people. Plus the never-ending health issues. Plus the constant exhaustion. Plus the crippling back pain. Plus the debt. Plus plus plus. So many fucking pluses.
I’m tired of seeing doctors and I’m tired of the bills that never seem to stop coming and I’m tired of being so fucking tired all the time.
I’m just so overwhelmed. It’s amazing how I can have no life and no job yet still feel too busy to function. I want to work on getting my shirts up on etsy and buying some inexpensive ads and all this stuff to grow the “business” but I can barely handle what I already have going on in my life so it I’m just shoving it on to the backburner with everything else that isn’t a life-or-death or situation.
I try to remind myself that I only need to focus on two things right now: my health and the move. That’s it. Everything else can wait until I’m ready. But sometimes just those two things are more than I can handle.
I feel as if I’m drowning. So I kick and paddle as hard as I can and on the days when I can’t handle it I just float and pretend everything is fine. And I just wish a fucking boat would come already and scoop me up so I can collapse on the deck for a little while before being dropped back in the water. But there isn’t a boat. And there won’t be one for awhile. Because there’s really nothing anyone can do to help me right now. So I’ll just kick as hard as I can to keep my head above the surface and I’ll tell myself that, eventually, I’ll find land.

1939 prudence penny cookbook - pictures
i dont know when exactly food photography changed but it used to be WAY better. they didnt use nonfood bullshit to make stuff that looks like food, they made the actual dish and took pictures, and if it looked weird and gross, well thats simply the way it was and you thought it looked delicious anyway
both inside covers have this picture i totally love:
