anyways. im starving. i need this broccoli and fish to come out of the oven asap or i will turn into sludge and stain the flooring irrepairably

he sounds sooooo cute forreal but im also gonna mclose myself off the edge of a cliff or something so im like shrimpy........ shh.......... :( but he doesnt listen to me.......... he is just a meowmeow sigh

shrimpy has NOT stopped mewoing basically since i got home and im like WHAT DO YOU WANTTTT iml ike ur mommas goin thru it can u shh??/ and hes like mew!! 🥺MeW!!!!

😭😭😭😭😭 BRUHHH WHAT DO UWANT MY SON..... he really just has so much to say man

like I'm like awww so cute I love that he is comfy enough to cuddle near my head but unfortunately I already am asleep deprived enough without being woken up repeatedly in the middle of the night bc of a furry pillow thief 😭😭

shrimpy has been very cute lately and trying to sleep near my head, but unfortunately what happens is he takes over my pillow while I am halfconsciously scooting until my neck is at a horrible position and I fully wake up the middle of the night with my neck big sad and my sleep megafucked

I KNOW where are all the meetups for the wage cagers man!!!

... I mean I guess I could try and set it up but I'm genuinely not sure how to organize that shit if I don't wanna do it on fb or whatever :/

omg I feel that HAHA tho I wonder if it's bc artists tend to be a bit more reclusive... ik there are a lot of painters here but a lot of the groups tend to be retired people painting during the weekdays and I'm like PLSSS I'M NOT RETIRED YET I CAN'T JOIN THESE TIMES HAHA

also. I crave cross language puns so fucking bad. I love wordplay and having another language opens the possibility up so much. the hk canto inspo so strong

omg hi... I think so...?? can trial run a soft self doxx over discord or smth :3c??

like yeah I didn't grow up w the immersion unfortunately but we do still live in the glorious sunset days of the internet where it's still possible to yap to other people so maybe I should just throw myself into it w reckless abandon. what is pride and possibly getting blocked worth anyways.

anyways whatever. hard pivot I need to get back into getting better at languages so I can say nice things betterer. always feel so fucking embarrassed when I can only really articulate myself in writing in english and other ppl have to accomodate my illiterate ass

I just wanna play. the fun is in drawing and slowly cultivating things that I can look at myself later and go yay! even if I don't like half of it, that's still half that I do enjoy. I've gotten pretty good at believing this too over the years so why the hell the random sad gank? man.

this is so stupid though like literally I was already not having fun at work and my subconscious or whoever was like... hey you want something else to feel physically bad about? how about we kinda lowkey pick something at random to get upset and give you extra physical symptoms about? 😭

to enjoy myself and soothe my brain and maybe even experience the joy of getting better at something, but the dread is still real and clinging and it feels sooo bad. ugh.

maybe it's an extension/side effect of my anxiety about how we're losing so much stuff off the internet all the time idk

i have a lot of fun drawing but every once in a while i get stuck by like. my arts lifetime is measured in weeks if that and I experience some real what's the point dread about it. like obviously this makes no sense, what else could I do that might last even as long as a few weeks, and the whole is

I think I need to make a serious effort to make more friends locally since everyone's kinda moved since my last solid try but mannn :( it's hard. and I'm so tired all the time. but I gotta 😭 maybe I'll ask the drawing coworker if she wants to sketch this weekend...

I need a good hangout w friends I feel like it's been a really really long time since I got to see a lot of ppl.... why's everybody live so far away I'm sad

if it's scary u can hang it on someones car who did a really and parking job to curse them instead :D

sometimes shrimpy is soooo soft ... like hwat did u do roll in some conditioner???

mannn i just dont have the gut instinct to pick poppy colors.... need to work on that... always gravitate towards the usual ~realistic tm colors but its like cmon

OMGGGG yea u have to hang him on a string and put him up as a charm when he does :)

it continues to get worse (from February 28)

dude hes a husk of his former self........ me too

this is so miserable. it's dark in the morning again and I don't feel like I should even be awake yet but I'm also at the same time late for work. hello?

frown. idk what the secret sauce is that makes some peoples hands look soooo good. ah well

hands are so annoying to draw but its so important to me for them to look good but how is it still so hard every time even though i feel like ive been making special effort for what feels like years now !?!?? AH!!! (scream of despair

when u see someone w the same nickname as someone you know and ur squinting trying to figure out if theyre the same one YOU know ... generally its not but im always like (SQUINTS

i think i like. mildly misaligned my jaw or something (??) bc my left ear has been popping SO much today but i have no idea how this could have happened... fawkkk

grapefruit juice is sooo gooddd
