Darn it Pintrest stop showing me Ads for NutriGran bars now I really badly want one
The mouse on the Chromebook was acting super weirdly for some reason so I decided to use the regular mouse we bought for it. It's not terrible but it requires a mousepad so I have to use a book otherwise the cursor slides around everywhere, and it's also awkward to get used to mouses after so long after using laptop mouses
Mom said the kid with swine flu at my school likely had nothing done because swine flu wasn't particularly contagious whereas this COVID-19 kid likely spread it to so many other people likely without even realizing it, and indeed someone else at the school tested positive today, and my point is just don't send people to school when they're sick with the very pandemic that's killing people at that moment
I thought Swine Flu was super contagious tooThat'd make too much sense. We're Americans; we have to make everything as difficult as humanly possible!
I actually don't remember if it was or not. It mainly affected kids and young adults though
There was a trend on TikTok where you search your middle name in the sticker emojis to find your vibe and I want to do that but also feel I'll get nothing because normally when I do stuff like that I get nothing because I have two middle names that are incredibly archaic
Mom said the library is starting to open back up again for real but she strongly suggests I don't go until I can get vaccinated so I don't have to worry about anything ever again
Ultimately it's your choice but I'm with her on that
I do kinda agree with her too, since she's right, I'd have to wear a mask for twelve hours and I still need to drink my water, and there's likely not much to do there, I can't imagine they'd rent out video game controllers in the teen room at the moment. I might go just to drop off the books physically in person and maybe walk around a bit, look around, then leave, but not do anything
Plus if other people aren't wearing masks ..
They might be, I see so many people in town who wear masks just going down the street, once I took it off to eat something and everyone who walked past me gave me a wide birth and several glared at me even though my mask was clearly still visible on my face, I really had to eat something before I went home or it'd spoil. Even people who look like they wouldn't want to wear masks and put up huge fights wear them calmly here even when they don't have to
I was eating outside by the way not inside
Meanwhile I almost never seen people here with masks even though they're mandatory inside businesses
The perks of living in a hippy town I guess :P
Mom told me she's seen John Carter. I feel like the more she tells me the less I know lol
I'm disappointed Dynamite wasn't released way earlier in the summer, this is such a perfect summer song, I could very easily see this being stuck in my head as I walked around town and seeing people dance to it in the library's teen room, that's how you officially know it's a summer song at least to me. Well it has summery vibes anyway so it makes me feel like it's still summer
I was just telling my mom about this meme yesterday and I found it again today!

I love that post
Mom said that person was probably twelve
Me: "Hoopla has been really good in helping me very slowly overcome my reading slump and get back into reading some of my favourites again, but I also have to acknowledge I get easily-distracted and thus I can't just get whatever I want on Hoopla and leave it there; I only have a limited amount of time to read it and I don't spend all of my time reading so I really need to limit what I read, first read through everything on my short list, get caught up on reviews finally, and then I can start getting whatever I want again, maybe even from the real library this time. Which means I will absolutely not rush out to Hoopla to check out the first thing I hear of just to waste several minutes of my time on a book I'll likely never read in a timely manner," Someone on a Forum: "OMG you guys this book is amazing, you should read it if you love dark gothic schools, atmospheric character studies of unlikable characters, creepy and realistic sci-fi, as well as a lot of great diversity in both ethnicity and LGBT+ representation, it's amazing, sadly it's rated really low on GoodReads right now so I guess I'm one of the only people right now who really loves this book,"
Me logging into Hoopla: "I'm having an absolute emergency, when's the earliest you can have me?"

I'm so sick of my journal being in the wrong place and not being able to change the name of it. This has been going on for like two years at this point I think and the more I think about it the more irritated I am and rage-filled in a way I can't properly explain. I'm going to post about this question in every single place I can think of even the weird ones mainly because I have no clue how to properly get help anymore. I'm so sick of this
I finally got to try those dark chocolate and mint Kit-Kits I've been craving for so long and they're not that good, I mean they're okay but they're not something I see myself eating willingly, they kinda tasted like pepper to me honestly
There was someone who reviewed a bunch of horror musicals and I convinced Mom to watch the reviews with me since she's into horror musicals and just weird things in general and when we were two reviews she had to keep pausing to be like 'man this looks exactly like something i'd be into why didn't you tell me?!' and I kept being like 'i did! i kept saying you would! i've right like five percent of the time when it comes to you!' and she was like 'well i didn't think these'd be good, i thought they'd be like the dukes of hazard!' 'you don't even know what that's about!' 'no but my best friend loves it and that's all i need to know about it' and long story short we're going to watch all of them and she's super excited. If only she had just listened to me from the beginning lol
OMG MY MOM IS LISTENING TO HEY YA I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING
Someone from my old highschool died, I know they died from COVID-19, why else would they announce it, and I felt such genuine sorrow and I have no idea why. I suppose it's because if I had been born only six or seven years later, that might've been one of my friends. That could've possibly been the sibling or relative of one of my old friends. The fact that they died so young over something that likely wasn't even their fault. I don't know why it makes me feel so sad when it's this kid I've never met, never known in my life, they didn't even release any confidential information about them, all they said was 'we had a loss here at school, it's a sad day for all'. Maybe that's why I'm sad, they were a kid with genuine dreams, friends, a family they loved, probably even had a crush or even were dating someone, they might've been active in school extracurriculars or other kinds of clubs, and now they're just being treated like a random causality. It's so dehumanizing and maybe that's why I feel so sad. They deserved much better than to just basically be treated like a random schedule change through email, it doesn't matter that I didn't know them. They were a person, a child really, if you think about it, so young and untouched, even if they were a senior I'd still say the same thing, so close to adulthood, so close to achieving whatever it was they wanted to achieve, and it was all taken away from them in the literal blink of an eye
'New Hot Nuts from Taki' I'm far too immature to take that name seriously
Our dryer got fixed earlier today, so that was something good that happened
I feel so personally attacked by that new Taco Bell ad that's like 'you could spend five dollars on this mobile game purchase pack, or you could spend five dollars on the new Taco Bell taco pack'
I don't know that one; just the one where they guy gets an electronic voice change
Touche because I don't know that one either lol
I wish I'd stop getting ads to watch 13 Days of Halloween on Freeform or the Halloween stuff on Disney Channel because it's making me really want to do those things but I can't because we don't have cable anymore!
Has she still not renewed Disney+?
Oh no we have it, but I don't want to specifically look for Halloween stuff, ruins the surprise. The whole point of Halloween is you don't know if you're getting a treat or a trick! I wanna watch these shows as they come on you know?
Me: "Man I really don't like the song Take Me to Church,"Also Me: *listens to it at least ten times every other day*
I supposeWhy don't you like it?
I just don't like it, like I don't like the way it sounds or anything
I'm actually the same way about it
I'd say it's because I like the message but there's plenty of other songs with good messages I don't even touch if given the chance so it can't be that
Someone said Brendan Urie basically means Lucifer and that's been living in my head rent-free ever since I first read that comment lol
We have a Red Flag Warning today, interesting. I only saw one once a few summers ago but it makes sense in summer, it's weird to see one in the late fall like this
Red Flag Warning for what?
It just means you can't burn anything outside because it has a very high chance of catching on fire. I see them a lot in places like Arizona but only twice so far here
I found an old etiquette book I used to read sometimes when I was a little girl and it made me a bit disappointed stuff like that is considered to be patriarchal and archaic and girls who are into it should be shamed. Like look I get it, it's bad to be subservient to men and never think for yourself and the whole 'children should be seen and not heard' belief but like...that's really not what the book was even about. It was just about being patient, considerate, kind, and always mindful of yourself and others around you. To always help others out and be polite. It's sad that a lot of people don't pay attention to stuff like that anymore and yet they're rewarded. Now I'm not the most old-fashioned lady around mainly because I choose not to be, but I still mind my most basic manners and try to go the extra step to make sure certain people in certain situations have been treated and revered with care, kindness, and respect. Even at fast-food places I say a thank you when my food is done if the worker isn't in a huge rush and I keep things clean. And yet so many people tell me I shouldn't be so 'stiff', that I should 'stop trying to please men' or whatever. I didn't realize being a decent human being was 'trying to please men'. It's why I dislike so much of this current generation, they don't want to respect anyone, not people older than them, not their friends, not people younger than them, etc. They shouldn't be praised and rewarded for it, they should be scolded. Maybe I really am more old-fashioned-minded since I always like to still imagine I'm a lady like in that one picture I saved to a Pintrest board for one of my OCs; it said 'a true princess...' with a list of things a true princess would do and a lot of it was just stuff like being kind and polite, which even in historical eras was one of the most important things a princess was taught. I'm just saying I don't think being a genuinely good and kind person is an outdated principal and I hate being shamed for wanting to be that way. One reason I'm able to make friends easily is because I'm friendly and easy-going and treat that person with respect even if it's our first meeting. Yes I'm snarky but I think you could be snarky and kind at the same time, and besides I only really truly unleash my snark on people who have already proven to be jerks multiple times, I wouldn't do it on someone kind or someone I don't know very well unless I know it's okay
I haven't heard any of that stuff. Just the stuff about "Children should be seen and not heard" and "barefoot, pregnant in the kitchen" is what people don't like. I've found older people to be more hostile, rude and self centered. Yes, in my personal experience, the "Karens" are very real and both male and female.A few years ago when I went to McDonalds, there was a middle age guy in front of us in line and he started SCREAMING at the cashier. EVeryone turned and stared at him and I thought he was going to pull out a gun. I have never, ever seen anyone from our generation be rude to someone unless they were being rude first, like what you said.
Of course everyone has different experiences but that's what I've observed. It's the middle aged guys I work with that want the poor to suffer and starve. It's older people who don't care about pollution and don't want people to have access to healthcare.
I suppose I'm just an easy target since I'm already girly so people automatically assume I'm foolish and vapid. I've seen people my age never clean up after themselves after eating out and throw trash everywhere and I'm like 'can you just not?' I feel like most kids are taught manners but as they grow up they all automatically decide they're stupid things that'll never get them far in life so they all collectively choose to forget them
We have a replica of the painting Godspeed in our living room, we've had it for literally as long as I could remember though at one point recently we lost the frame for it, but anyway I know what the painting is actually supposed to represent but when I was younger I always for some reason thought it was a picture of a daughter giving a keepsake to her dad in the hopes he'd make it back from battle alive because I always liked the idea in fiction of a king protecting his princess daughter and I knew kings went to war sometimes and their daughters likely missed them so I always assumed that's what the picture was of, and even though I know what it represents now I still like to think my interpretation was better and even to this day I pretend it's of a father and daughter and not two lovers. Maybe I just have some major but secret daddy issues or something
Art is open to interpretation. That's what makes it art
it's personal
