I’M PERMEABLE, BITCHES

Me, a white lady with short purple hair and clear squarish glasses (the ever-popular Kirby frame)

Me again, with slightly bigger clear glasses (these are the Murphy frames)

Old Pair pair vs new Pair pair

I realize they look almost identical but that’s because I have clear base frames. They look a lot different with toppers on, which I’ll post later

Also I cut my hair and I love it

#paireyewear

THEY’RE HEREEEEEE

Also Pair sent me a $20 apology, which I think is fair and I appreciate it ❤️

but doctor, I AM the duck

I maintain that the worst mental health results not from one big problem, but five million little problems jockeying for your attention

This post is brought to you by my laptop, my headache, the 2000 documents I need to pull, the wax burn I got yesterday, and the four pharmacies I need to go to

Dear Pair, here’s the new tracking number from when DHL, the shittiest carrier to exist, handed my package off to USPS.

Please see below for the remainder of my issue.

(Translation: BITCH THIS IS MY THIRD EMAIL)

Dear Pair: I ordered my glasses a goddamn month ago. I’m going to have to buy new glasses elsewhere just so I can see on my trip next week. I ordered priority. Why is it parcel select

Pair: oh no honey it’s DHL! Here’s the tracking number!

ಠ_ಠ

I’m not sure which is more insulting: my laptop bricking itself, or being unable to replace it because someone hacked that bank account

This story is fascinating and will never not be funny. I mean I feel bad for the regular folks but BEARS

annoyed about the shitty "patient education" I received when I was initially diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease

so rather than seething, I'm going to share some of the info I've gotten from reading scientific articles

Now I have to ask myself: do I want to cancel my autograph ticket or do I want to hunt down a copy of Adventures in Babysitting

Everything is a LIE. The Mandela effect is REAL. I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S REAL ANYMORE

A Google search for “Anthony Rapp autograph” with images posted. There’s a bunch of loopy signatures that look like either the Trek autograph or the RENT autograph.

Anthony Rapp’s autograph on the Big Gay Sign.

The RENT autograph which is definitely his autograph.

Dear Google, please give me a hand.

oh my god it IS

Anthony Rapp’s autograph on the Big Gay Sign.

Something that looks a whole lot like Anthony Rapp’s autograph on my RENT playbill.

. . .

I know Anthony Rapp signed this because a) I remember (of course) and b) he helpfully wrote “Stamets” with it. (Yes, Wilson Cruz signed right next to him ❤️)

A metal sign with a beautiful print. There’s a stylized hand giving a Vulcan salute 🖖. On one side it says “Live long and prosper” and on the other it says “live loud and proud.” It is also covered in paint-marker autographs. This is licensed Pride merchandise from like five years ago, if you are wondering. (Sorry, she gone)

Hang on, let me check my beloved Big Gay Sign

A closeup of one of the autograph, which looks a bit familiar to me.

Wait a minute. Hold up.

A copy of a Playbill from 2009. It is stark white, with the RENT logo and the tagline “The Broadway Tour” in black. It has 15-16 autographs on it. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s one autograph or two lol

I just pulled it out of the box I keep such lovely things in. There it was, my autographed RENT reunion tour Playbill.

Y’alllllllll.

I have a signed copy of my RENT Broadway Tour playbill. Anthony Rapp didn’t hit up the stage door that night and my completionist self was sad.

This was FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

So I decided to be cheeky and pay $65 for him to sign it.

A map of the near west suburbs of Chicago. To the northeast is O’Hare International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the country. South of that, there is a big gray blob that is actually an enormous rail hub. Southwest of THAT is a giant USPS sorting center. As you can imagine, the placement of all these things was quite purposeful.

This WAS at a huge supercenter 😭
Let me illustrate:

Why do they hate Chicago so much? We handle EVERYONE ELSE’S mail, why is this so hard 😭

At least I also got contacts but those also cause headaches. 😭 I did not think I'd be worried these would get here before my trip but here we are PAIR EYEWEAR

Screenshot of a tracking page. On Feb 4, DHL gave the package to USPS in Melrose Park (30 miles away). USPS, in its infinite wisdom, sent it to West Fargo, North Dakota (650 miles away)

*screams in low vision*
Why were my glasses in Chicagoland on Wednesday but are currently in NORTH FUCKING DAKOTA

I ORDERED THESE A MONTH AGO

OH SHIT I DIDN’T NOTICE THAT ONE CASTING BECAUSE I WAS FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE REST OF IT

STAAAAHP (don’t stop)

Also do not look up the guest stars or you will get spoilers

I did pick up on one reveal a little before Greg lol. And then it made perfect sense—who else would possibly have what she has??

Even the smaller scenes all pulled together into one message. Arrrgh it was so beautifully put together GO WATCH IT

Cannot WAIT to blab about this to everyone

Sorry, I’m going off topic. There is obviously A Plot beginning with the Doctor and I am really interested to see where it goes. This is something I’m sure we’ve all wondered about, and here we have three characters with the same existential issues.

I was really excited to meet her because I feel so Seen by the writers when she’s up. I was exactly like that when I was in high school and college.

Unfortunately, I *am* impermeable. Well, mostly.

Kerrice Brooks had to pull out of the cruise and I am so disappointed. But I am an old conrunner and I know it was 99% likely to be some other contractual work/scheduling.

Unless it was because Shatner is being a dick about her show. Of course, Shatner is just a dick. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy no-spoilers review:

UGLY. CRYING. I mean grab-the-tissues, ruined-my-makeup sobbing.

Sometimes I don’t realize how very special and important these characters are to me, until I do. (I am referring to [HUGE FUCKING SPOILER] here)

I’m getting popcorn

Y’all. I am working on graphics for the Star Trek Cruise door deco contest and you are NOT prepared

I am very proud of myself 😂
