Sometimes you fall backwards off the bed.

Sometimes you fall backwards off the bed onto a paper bag full of coke zero cans.

Sometimes you fall backwards off the bed onto a paper bag full of coke zero cans and now don't have to crush them individually.

Then*

This is a hugging family, so I went in for the side hug, as you do with dudes you don't know, this saw his face coming in and dodged.

He ended up kissing my temple which is infinitely worse.

So, one of the boys here has a girlfriend who brought her brother, and apparently they're from a culture that does the cheek kiss.

Which is perfectly fine, I just, was not aware.

Every now and then a user will pop into my twitch chat and I'm stuck in the quandry of "AI or child"

Encountered what must have been a newer WoW player? They emoted hello, I waved, but then they switched to Alliance Common to try and talk to my Blood Elf, presumably to ask to do a delve together, as we were standing outside one, but I cannot understand, sir, I am sorry.

*hug*

The sun has risen

Do I succumb?

Anyway you can see sleeping is going well, definitely not ruminating through the night

Also you can pry the use of "normie" from my cold dead hands, it conveys the most accurate connotation, and my fucked up little brain loves it some connotations, agonizes about connotations

Vaguely related, proof my truest inner self is a possessive little bitch, but while my adult self is so glad for her that she goes by her birth name as an adult, my inner 6yo is jealous that other people know the special secret name, kid me kept that secret so good lmao

Quietly following and liking all of the posts from my childhood best friend's tattoo shop on TikTok even though we don't talk anymore, and as far as she knows I'm a normie

(Also she's REALLY good, Eunice at Empress Tattoo & Piercing in Chattanooga)

I am curious about the steam machine, streaming through the app works /okay/ but I bet that's better

My tiny hands holding a steam controller.

I had to enlist help, but if I actually put my hands how they're supposed to rest on the triggers etc. I cannot reach the buttons lmao

xbox 360 controller* died

I have the first steam controller (that I bought when it was $5) that I use currently because my xbox 360 died recently, but it is Too Big For My Tiny Hands and I Must Strain To Reach Half of It

I type faster than I speak so you're somewhat spared the "context interrupts my original sentence before I can finish it" that happens aloud.

Also this is exactly how I tell stories in person but all the background information interrupts the main point being said at all instead of being added afterward, so you wouldn't get the main thing I started talking about until now

Every time I do a thread like this I think about pre-thread twitter and how all this shit would just show up individually on everyone's feeds and not tucked away and honestly I kinda miss it, let me flood your feeds with nonsense because I have "no choice"

Meanwhile I was only ever on it because the cramps were so bad growing up, but that one perfect semester before the hormones went to shit again gave me a false sense of normalcy that I hid in for the next few years

and yeah I was off birth control all of college because I was a weird little virgin who didn't know she had PCOS yet and just dealt with almost throwing up in class because the cramps were so bad for....some reason?????

Also one of the 72 hours ones happened during my last set of finals senior year of college and I was finally poised to get an A in one of my fav history prof's classes (he's was one of those old school A's only for Above and Beyond guys), and I felt sanity leave me mid essay (still got an A- ugh)

3. My body eventually tires and I literally actually pass out, period begins, back to normal business.

So the...more generalized insomnia is somewhat less horrible but I think I am due to switch birth control brands, it's been a couple years.

2. I have entered a state where I cannot start my period until I sleep, but I also cannot sleep until my period starts. Not even tired. Full awakeness. Used to FREAK people out when they'd learned how long I'd been awake. This state lasts a minimum of 36 but usually reached 72 hours.
