I waited around for 4 hours and missed the cutoff to get in to see Green Day by 4 people lolololol best part of the night is when a car blew up around the corner tho that was cool

#I’m so cold it was below freezing for that 4 hours too #anyway I think I’m sad but I’m too frozen to tell #when they cut off the line we all just stood there shocked

[unexpectedbrickattack]

I hope you're feeling better from earlier!

You are so sweet; i am feeling WAY better actually!!

#answered #chattin #i had some hot tea and it alleviated some of the pressure i was feeling #so im pretty sure the sudden cold and dry air in my apartment triggered it somehow #DO NOT RECREATE THIS LMAO but i just stood over a pot of boiling water to let the steam try warm up my face and sinuses #and see if that would help w the pressure (it did but only for a little bit; take some ibuprofen like i eventually did; dont be me lmao) #it took about 6 hours to go away which is like fantastic in my books lmao #its still cold but its a bit more humid in here so the headache hasnt returned 👍🏾💖

Every time I have to settle for Wendy's over the restaurant I was planning to go to, I'm shunted into a fucking circus and my chances of escaping with a semblance of edible food is a toss up.

#and like im not gonna give them a bad review and get someone fired #so you all get to hear me gripe here #they were acting like they were slammed but i only saw like 4 orders come in the entire time i was there #they were out of bbq sauce #i just ordered a biggie bag with a plain burger #they made my burger in 5 minutes #i stood there 20 more minutes watching it get stone cold #then i think someone competent started her shift on the hour #because she noticed the time on my receipt #threw away my old burger and had fresh food out in a couple minutes #french fries do not taste good with sweet and sour sauce. #also im on a work trip so i need to keep my receipts #i made it clear at the beginning that i needed my receipt #and they were like 'we need it to fill the order can you wait' and im like ok as long as I get it #the first guy filled my order and immediately threw away my receipt #i had to ask him to fish it out of the trash because I NEED IT #and then i had to ask him twice for the drink that comes with the meal

All I’m saying is that it’s tragic how very intelligent students are forced to drop out and made feel stupid because some professors feel the need to make their courses so intense that one needs to study 50-60 hours a week, while they just need rest to function, but would have no problem understanding the material if they just had to study 40 hours a week, the actual fucking guidelines for what full-time studies should be.

#I remember when I had a bad cold the week we had FOUR LABS #AND THREE OF THEM WERE SIX HOURS LONG #I think I ruined my liver with all the paracetamol I took #I stood there like a zombie and watched things drip for four-five hours a day and barely saw sunlight for a whole week #I get that’s it kind of inevitable that e.g. chemical engineering will be more difficult than economics #but why is especially stem like that??? #I’ve seen people in classrooms of the physics/engineering building at 6pm on a Saturday #although this partially applies to me #I’m mostly thinking of other people and I’m not calling myself super intelligent #humans just need rest #maybe in particular neurodivergent people #my mom (who is an epidemiologist (she doesn’t work with Covid)) has told me that so much study time is to be expected #and with everything else going on in my life #I just don’t know if I want to put myself through it #maybe if becoming a biologist was my dream I would do it #but now??? idk

1 year ago - LTWT: Kansas City

#im in love with this pic of him #it’s a screenshot from a video so not the best quality but idc #also i think the concert was one year ago yesterday #but we stood on the curb for like an hour waiting for him to the leave the venue #it was so cold but so worth it #louis #ltwt 2022 #lt kc

heads up to anyone planning to go to the outdoor practice: even if you get there early, people WILL find a way to stand in front of you </3

#i only recommend it if you're 1) okay with being shoulder to shoulder with people the whole time and maybe being on your tippy toes #and 2) if you can stand in (slightly) cold weather for a few hours #it's very fun! but just be mindful of these things bc it did ruin my experience juuuust a bit last year lol #got 'front row' bleacher seats and it ended up not mattering bc folks just. stood where they shouldn't #nonetheless if you do go: enjoy!! #hannah babbles

my father is so good at having random unplanned phone interviews at the worst moments

#he literally walked out the MOMENT i was serving dinner and he’s been on the phone for twenty minutes now #its literally just me and him tonight #he does like three a day i stg #and yes he is off the clock. agents and promotors dont give a shit abt press’s scedules lol he reguarlly gets stood up and then gets a call #four hours later like ‘hey do u have time?’ #i am sitting at the table with cold food waiting lmao

[thatfaerieprincess]

I often forget how badly the cold can fuck me up and then one slightly-too-chilly-for-slightly-too-long outing and I’m out of commission for the rest of the damn day…

No outdoor winter job for me I guess

#took a little hike w friends! saw a spruce grouse! got lightly attacked by said spruce grouse! #stood and watched some cormorants and chatted! saw a great blue heron! and some harbor seals! #my hands were tingly numb the entire 10 min drive back to the apartment! #and then I thought I had escaped mostly okay bc my chest hadn’t gone yet #but a few mins back at home and my hands still stiff and then my chest started up #it wasn’t even that cold!! I wasn’t that cold!! god damn circulation!!! #my chest hurt for a while and piled under my electric blanket but could barely even tell it was warm #had some snacky lunch and hot chocolate #I think I fell asleep a little bit #but my chest still hurt for a while and once it faded out my hands were still cold #and my chest felt sensitive after hurting #still feels sensitive now but not as bad #but I literally just had to lay around for ljke 3-4 hours after being out #ended up wearing the heated vest so I could get up and make soup for dinner #thank u Izzy for ur loving phone call soup support #doing better now but god I hadn’t had a bad one like that in a bit #first real cold day of the season here tho so I guess par for the course #good reminder that I really should not be looking at fully outdoor winter jobs #bc I was considering one and was like maybe I’m just being dramatic about the cold and my circulation idk I could probably do it #I could be out all day teaching ppl in the snow #and then it drops to the 40s here for the first time and im knocked on my ass #maybe no snowshoeing for Sam I guess #I think this was also the first time my housemate saw me like that too #everyone at the office knows abt my heated vest and that I don’t have great circulation #but it’s not usually a big issue I just tend to wear a double layer when I do night programs #I’ll have to make sure I’ve got the right layers in the next weeks now that it’s getting cold #bc I can’t let this knock me over when I gotta be teaching #sorry long tags idk I just laying in bed thinking about it all and needed to put it somewhere #I just kinda forget this can happen until it does and im sitting here like surprised pikachu #im a rambling sam

insanely jealous of all those people who lived thousands of years ago who didnt have roofs and got to look at the moon and stars every night. then i remember rain and like predators and stuff. and then i get mad that that doesnt make me any less jealous

every time irelia thinks of how much her family would be disappointed and how much they'd hate who she is i cry actually

#but i don't even think all of them would #have Concerns maybe about some things #but not hate her like she thinks they would #still #hard to put things in perspective properly when you were a child when they died #they're dead and she continues holding on to what she thinks they'd think in a way that's very. harsh and punishing actually #and that i don't think it's how they'd feel/act even if they don't necessarily approve of everything she' done/would do #but her older brothers and her father in particular i always think would be more understanding than she expects they would #they died because they stood up against noxus after all #even if it was peaceful resistance #alas she's constantly letting the guilt haunt her because she thinks she deserves to feel guilty for her perceived mistakes and flaws #for enjoying the violence rather than shunning it #» out of character — ⌜main sup irl.⌟ #i have a cold (again) and i'm so sleepy idk if that makes sense i'm just.suffering #crying in the club hours

today was gorgeous… bright bright sun and bitingly cold wind — and i went to the gardens in the morning, and in my favorite place, further away from the main flower beds is a section devoted simply to trees and trail and small streams and ponds and no one was there but me. the leaves were fragrant under my feet, the trees golden and red and green, the air frigid, the crunch of gravel… everything was perfect 💌

#literally ran around for 3 hours i feel soooo refreshed… #stood by one of the ponds looking down at the rocks and water for ten minutes… literally no one but me and the birds and the song of the #stream and my ears hurt from the cold and i felt alive for the first time in ages. #like time no longer was stagnant — and then i got a warm coffee and felt it down in my bones as i walked back home. bliss.

had that dreaded convo with the Colleague. i told her i don’t feel like she treats me like a person and she said that she’s aware of that dynamic, it makes her uncomfortable, AND she’s not sure it’s her fault. she also told me that i say hurtful things all the time to her. oh, and “i would like to be able to give you space to have different ideologies from me.” (thanks??) i negotiated for her not talking about my pets to me or anyone else and her TRYING to THINK about my feelings when i bring them up and how they might be different from hers, or what she assumes my feelings are. 

#about me #i feel less like a person than usual #i did apologize for one thing i said during our fight that i think was out of line #and i told her i would be mindful of not dismissing her feelings #at the end i realized...she literally has no ability to conceptualize my perspective #she treats it like it is completely alien #which sure doesn't give me a complex given i'm undiagnosed ND and chicanx! #i AM the Other by which the yt woman defines herself #i stood outside in the cold for an hour waiting for a bus that never came #and then just went home and sobbed #i feel like shit

Poll:

Can you stop shivering on command?

My friend just saw me do this and she’s like you can’t do that shivering is an involuntary muscle contraction and I’m like…. Even if it starts unconsciously, if I think about it I can just stop doing it.

#honestly I feel better if I’m not shivering #it’s like my body panics and thinks it’s cold and I’m uncomfortable and shivers #but if I tell it to stop shivering I stop being uncomfortable #to a certain point of course but even at the ver VERY low temperatures if I stop shivering #it at least LOWERS my discomfort about the cold #this is because we just had a raging thunderstorm #and it dropped from 32 to 10 in about a half hour while I stood outside #getting soaked like a fool #grinning from ear to ear #standing in lake inferior that used to be our back lawn #and my core temperature is finally low enough to survive for the first time in a week #if i make my body not shiver I’m actually blissful at this temp
