Found out there’s a comedian who makes jokes about being autistic Well darn guess I really do gotta make fun of men now
Mom said my aunt has made a full recovery
'We are now living in a future once imagined by cyberpunk works'Okay so when do I get to be a hot illegal cyborg with dyed hair
What exactly we're they referring to?I want my trenchcoat while it rains endlessly
They were referring to how the government has almost completely prioritized markets and big businesses over the general public and workers and how huge mega-corporations own basically everything and how that's become more clear due to the ongoing pandemic, but also said it could continue even afterwards where big companies still continue to treat their workers as being expendable while meanwhile technology is an inseparable part of our lives and I honestly never really thought about how unsettling all of that was until I started really thinking about it lol Everything really is owned by some large company with a specialization in one specific thing and they all just keep buying and buying and buying
Reminds me of that one meme I saw on Twitter I think that said: 'The year is 2035. All schools are owned by Amazon. Wendy's asks Captain Crunch for nudes on Twitter. The weather is just constant tornadoes'
Sounds right. That's also how America was before the apocalypse in Fallout
I hope it's not going that direction lol
There was a tornado in my mom's hometown a few days ago when we had really bad thunderstorms and I told her a lot of buildings are scheduled to be torn down because the downtown area got badly damaged from both the tornado and straight-line winds and she thought it was stupid that they were going to tear down buildings on sight like that and I told her some of them have nothing remaining but a chunk of the roof
My brothers are so averse to their schoolwork and never tell anybody anything about it. Like they complain it's hard and boring and that's it. I've taken a lot of the same classes as them. If they're genuinely struggling I can help. But they never tell anybody they just want to fume over it. I always told people about the work I was doing in high-school. Nobody cared but I did it anyway
Yeah my siblings are like that tooSister: I don't get this history stuff!
Me: *Slides over* Hey I know this!
Sister: NO!
Like I even know what they're learning in their classes because I remember all the topics, like I remember what we were doing in April in Earth/Space Science. I don't know why I do but I do and I took the class my freshmen year
Same here. I want to help them with school and they just get mad.
Mod
Yeah it's been like that for years now, hence why I was asking how to contact GoodReads again because I need to but forgot. Jay's tried to move this topic too and can't

It's a shame it's frowned upon for people my age to be friends with teenagers because I feel like I have more in common with teenagers, like they wanna play video games, cosplay, participate in fandoms by writing and drawing, just laugh about memes and other weird things, all stuff I'm into, meanwhile whenever I try to talk to people my own age they just talk about how we're all slaves to the system being sucked dry and how they only experience joy whenever they get to drink three tequilas with two pizzas and the monumental bowel movement they're going to get as a result
I feel yaThough I know many teens who think we're slaves to the system too :p
I don't know it just feels like when teenagers are asking people to be their friend they list all of their hobbies and stuff they like to do while people my age are just like 'i enjoy drinking coffee and crying in the bathtub' like I'm not going to be your friend if we have nothing in common, I don't know about anyone else my age but I make try making friends by finding people I already have stuff in common with
I've seen people our age like thatOf course this is in Discords for game stuff so...
I saw a girl on TikTok I wanted to try befriending because she said she was looking for more friends and we were into a lot of the same stuff but I couldn't because she said in her requirements that you had to be a teenagerTo be fair I'd be confused and weirded-out if I were sixteen and a twenty-two-year-old asked to be my friend but if we were just talking about our fandoms I wouldn't have much of a problem with it. I wouldn't lie about my age because even though I look around twelve there's no way I could keep a lie like that because I'd accidentally reference something a teenager nowadays wouldn't know anything about and reveal my true age so
I'm friends with people way older than me because we had discussions and got to know each other. It wasn't a "you wanna be friends?" deal. it just...happened.
I think it's a bit different when you're older. I don't think people care much about actual adults hanging out together no matter how big the age gap is. It's when any legal adult regardless of age starts hanging out with people younger than them. I've heard people say seventeen-year-olds shouldn't hang out with eighteen-year-olds even because they're legal and they're not
Mom said my brothers are out of school May 2nd
Mod
Oh that's so weird smh
I know it really ticks me off because I can’t change my journal name and I desperately want to
My mom randomly started telling my baby brother about the Challenger explosion
Mom randomly came up to me and legit asked me if I was a witch
Why did she ask that-?
She said she thought I’d enjoy being one because it gives me power and I told her this isn’t The Craft and left because I was weirded-out
She also said I could try writing a lyrical remake of We Didn’t Start the Fire and I don’t know why she thinks I’m the best one for the job but I have something to keep me busy for a while I suppose I’ll do what the singer did and start in 1997 when I was born and end in March or April 2020. I’m not really sure what would be relevant to include though since I feel like this generation was very pop-culture focused and we didn’t really try to do anything super groundbreaking in books or movies, all the groundbreaking stuff was in technology like cell phones and the introduction of streaming services. I’ll still try my best though
I’ll check back in later once I actually finish this
I shouldn't have eaten the chicken tenders, I feel like I'm going to throw up now. They weren't cooked wrongly or anything I just can't eat any sort of chicken without feeling ill. I thought they'd be fine because they were baked and not fried but I guess not
There's a large-scale tornado watch for strong tornadoes in the city I used to live in in Mississippi that's so surreal
I will never forget when I rode on The Haunted Mansion and I had no idea what to expect and the recording was like: “There’s no way out of here...! Well, of course, there’s always my way...” And the lights suddenly went out and I thought someone was going to jump out and grab me so I screamed really loudly and then the lights came back on and the recording was like: “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you prematurely, muhahahahaha,” and everyone was staring at me and I felt really embarrassed lol
Can someone please tell my mom what The Count of Mote Cristo is everytime I try to tell her about it she thinks I'm instead referring to an Edgar Allen Poe short story where some guy gets encased in a brick wall
The Poe story is "The Cask of Amontillado"
I know what the story is lol
I can't stop puking and don't know what to do, I've already thrown up twice this week
The one thing I want to do after this is all over is head to the library and start talking to teenagers there because I'm literally dying from very little social contact but I'm worried about this pandemic having long-lasting effects on people's mental states and me getting punched in the face because I intimidated someone or something
Please for the love of all that is holy let me meet my future wife at the library when I'm dancing in front of the piano in the teen room to Come and Get Your Love in full Belarus cosplay and she says to her friend nearby 'so she's an idiot' and me not realizing who she's talking to just points at her and say 'heck yeah'
I had cinnamon in my applesauce and I wanted to cry the only thing that would make it even more perfect would be a spoonful of cottage cheese inside
It’s been a decade and I’m still envious over the people who got to watch How to Train Your Dragon in theaters
Because it looked like an amazing theatrical experience with the flying scenes and the music blasting out at you
Mom’s trying to teach my baby brother how to make corn dogs
From scratch or heating them up?
Heating them up she got a box filled with forty of them
Whenever I’m sad I think about the fact that a Tweet from Charlie Scene was deemed funny enough by Mom for her to save to her personal picture folder lol
Frozen corn dogs make me feel sick whenever I eat themWhat tweet?
it's personal
