I struggle with shit, and my therapist hosts it. Ive been working on the same painting for three months, and I still don't know what it is, or will be.
But anyway, a couple of us love history and last week I found volume 2 of an encyclopedia set, printed in 1875. I got it for $1. So I brought it in. I love how we all thought it was so cool.
I was burning CDs off of mp3' I downloaded, someone taught me how to use IRC (internet relay chat). I had a lot of NoFx, and was really getting into Punk music from the 90s. I spent a lot of time downloading/seeding music. I had an old computer I can still visualize.
Internet dating was brand new, and I dipped my toe in. We would have parties with 10-15 people, and played beer pong with beer in the cups, not water, I learned kings cup, and shortly after refused to play it.. but we also played cards a lot, five card stud/draw and Rummy. My group loved card games, we'd play Bullshit and Spoons while wasting late into the night.
For a time, I was going with some buddies Friday nights to the capital city, where they'd have car races, and then we'd be chased away by cops. Not my scene, but it was sort of fun.
Weed wasn't legal and obtaining it was not difficult but more expensive. I paid $60 for an 1/8 for the good stuff, $40 an 1/8 for the shit stuff. Today, there is no shit stuff, least I haven't seen it in over a decade. We made a giant bong out of a water cooler jug, that summer, attaching hoses and gas mask pieces. It took a half to fill the bowl on it, and when we removed up the next morning, the chamber still jad smoke. Ten people, and we couldn't clear it. We used to have "smoking apparatus" competitions. We'd set 20 mins, and you can only use what was in the house to make something to smoke out of. Then see what people came up with.
We'd go swimming and (lol a lot a weed, we were always trying to find place to smoke the more interesting the better) we'd stick joints and lighters into dry empty bottles and swim with it out to the docks at midnight and smoke under moonlight. One time, my brothers friend was on the junior police force or something, and we were at the lake after hours, and he rolled up and hit is siren he had intalled in his geo. We buried the blunt in the sand :( only to find out it was him. Aye those days.
One night we stayed up and played the longest game of mario party of all time. Nearly 18 hours of mario party, on an old game cube. We set the turn limit to max and just didnt sleep.
But we we're always hanging out with folks. I was a social reject and still had good people always around. There are no pictures really and definitely no videos from that time, only memories. We didn't bring phones with us out to the dock, we didn't post about our adventures. I had a lot of fun. We did some cringe shit, I remember telling my brother's friend, who I wasn't physically attracted to, that I wanted to fuck his mind, like I think back, like girl, what are you doing, and laugh. So much cringe shit, but it didn't matter, and tbf, I meant it in that moment. We often spoke about existential stuff and discussed weird philosophy of 18 year olds trying to find their place and values. I read old books. I still read 100 year old books. We talked about ideas, a lot, while stoned.
Went to college shortly after, got a job, learned my tolerance with alcohol, and yeah.
2007 was an interesting year for sure, I'm only sharing what I did in my free time, which was hang out with buddies, with no cares.
Do you mean planet fitness? Fu k planet fitness. I had to pay to cancel my membership years ago. I was too broke to use it and these assholes are cunts about canceling memberships. I even worked there for a time, they have a lot of scummy tactics for both clients and staff. Fuck PF
If you we're in my neighborhood I would feed youm that goes for anyone.
There's that 'lasagna for love' organization, I've never used it, but I've heard about it. Give it a go?
I hate using Amazon, and I am absolutely on snap, but maybe I could send you some noodles or something? You just set up a list and I can purchase it for you.
A number of years ago, reddit had that page, idk the name I forgot, but so many people sent us food when we were struggling. I absolutely can pay it forward today. Lmk
I don't hate animals, but pets are expensive. Just spent $225 yesterday on an ear infection. My cat has an allergy we cant figure out. We can't afford it. Recommending a pet to even a person who likes animals, but stuggles financially isn't good advice.
This is my first pet, and I probably won't get another just because cost is high for vet care and food/litter. We have two cats and we spend probably $200 a month or more just for necessities before vet visits. Flea/tick meds are monthly and $100 just for the two of em. So make that $300 a month on necessities, aye..
Could you share one of you liked vietnamese bands? I'd love to check out something I'm unfamiliar with.
Northern Lite is my favorite German band I think, as well has bands like Brutus (Belgian) and my favorite band at the moment is Molchat Doma. Stuff like Ploho, Vestron Vulure, and others I can't even write because I don't have the alphabet available lol.
Over the last few years, I've noticed a lot of music I listen too isn't in English. I like it so much. Though I probably don't have 74 languages, just scattered European ones. Europe has really good post punk/darkwave
My husband doesn't have tattoos, but a beard. He loves all metal but definitely death metal.
There was a woman at my work, she was in the office side pretty high up. I always played my music, she soon found out I was (at least in part) a metal head. One time we found ourselves in a meeting room just a few of us, and shared she is massively a metal head, even citing death metal. I was so taken aback. She is highly professional always, and become the coolest lady in the office to me that day.
My dentist's favorite band is Led Zeppelin. My son asked, that answer surprised me too. For an older woman, close enough lol
I gave my son some of my old CDs last year. In them was a mix metal cd I got somewhere, and there is a powerwolf song on there. I wish I could remember which song, but for nearly a year he'd put that song on repeat and fall asleep to it every night. It was absurdly amusing
There really could be a tram there. It's my pike dream.
Cars rule everything here. :(
Fat Americans... Right. But they forbid walking for day to day life, make it hostile basically anywhere that isn't a major city, and even there it kind of sucks to walk/take the bus/ride a bike.
There's density here, Universities, my husband works at one of them, he leaves an extra 30 minutes early for work everyday, because parking is such a bitch up there they fight for spots(workers have to pay for a parking pass too!). My son can't even ride his bike to a park or to school. I can't tell you how much I hate it. I'm literally trapped unless I have a car. We won't be able to move somewhere walkable that dream is dead.
I was fit when I rode my bike to work, back in the day in my states capital. My grandfather was a civil engineer who helped design this hell. I will always hate him. I don't have the freedom of movement unless I was to dodge cars going 60mph, and be the only person on the sandy street, where people just stare at you like you're poor from their cars.
Anyway. Ugh. I can hope for changes in the future, but that is becoming very bleak each day.
Thats fair. Honestly its less about the time, and more about how hostile the first half the journey is. I used to live in a place that was urban, I felt lazy not wanting to make this trip, just another "stupid lazy American" ya know. Confirmed here it's not normal to walk an hour to a destination as an everyday task, even though I have done walks prior daily, I'm not so young anymore.

I struggle with shit, and my therapist hosts it. Ive been working on the same painting for three months, and I still don't know what it is, or will be.
