Why Are You Writing These // Alice Notley
  to try to remember what you is that nothing much happens for 17 years it was rich living in isolation in a populous city remember when I hated my neighbor because he was noisy I didn’t hate him I couldn’t look at him I wanted to kick him out     he held raves every weekend I called the cops a lot and worked with a certain policeman who discovered my neighbor had been arrested in Bordeaux for breaking furniture     he finally stopped paying rent had to leave then the gardienne and I gave thumbs-up signs across rue des Messageries     she has since moved to Valencia I’m interested in how totally against him I was you could say I have sensitive ears that simply react his mother came up from Toulouse once to help him clean we were overrun with mice she caught seven one morning with glue traps excuse me she said I’m the mother of your neighbor who’s sometimes noisy do you have mice I tried to tell her I’d seen them slide down the gas-pole like firemen but I didn’t have the French for that and French firemen don’t she had a dream of moving to San Diego I don’t mind any of it except for my ears I was born receptive and sound shakes me up I have a poem in which the universe is like a vocal cord it must also be an ear infinite reception music destroys thought poetry is it I couldn’t have been bothered to tell this story in prose     A decision was taken after time began to maintain a prose universe I have been bored ever since and keep to myself though contrarily trying to save you from the materials of your destructive lives masses of noise anything to forget what and maybe I am only a nerve or am nerve if you could remember shut up and remember or is it not remember I am in a state of vibration every possible sound available why or is it only something to do the one thing to do or is it only Helen Morgan again singing Why was I born / Why am I living I have nothing to show for my time but poems what do you have

Advice wanted (gently please)
I know it’s a Saturday night. And I know the volume of my neighbour’s music isn’t THAT loud inside my house. But my brain hears noises that shouldn’t be there acutely. They work at me until I am consumed by them and by rage at the makers of the noise.
I can’t sleep in noise cancelling headphones - they hurt, they might stop me hearing the baby monitor, and they make me hear the blood moving around inside my head, which might actually be worse.
So… Any tips for mindfulness or meditation exercises that work on a mildly neurodivergent brain with hearing sensitivity?

I had a delightful Sunday last week: coffee and a wander around The Wallace Collection, walking though Marylebone with an obligatory stop at Daunt books, and then basking in the sun at Regent’s Park with a cupcake 🧁

The Car Owner and the Kickboxing Champion
A little sequel to "Noisy Neighbours and Bloody Bell Peppers"
Tumblr media
Five years after their fateful first meeting, it's time for Harry to repay the favour and help his (very pregnant) stepmother Lily.
“Maybe I’m just too old to be pregnant.” “You’re not old,” Harry pinpoints, following her. “You’re thirty-eight.” “Geriatric,” she declares.

Red Cheeks and Blue Ribbons
NOT A PR0MPT
Tumblr media
“Headquarters sent out an email. It’s your birthday.”
Hero nodded. Yes, it was their birthday. Leader said it as though Hero didn’t know their own birth date. At least headquarters knew better than to send them the email on top of everyone else. ‘Hey, Hero! In case you forgot, it’s your very own birthday today!’ Hero would have chuckled if not for the confused look on Leader’s face as they began speaking.
“I usually don’t- um… I mean… We’re not supposed to-”
It was now that Hero realized there was a small box in Leader’s hands. And not just any box; it was a gift box- blue cardboard with a darker blue ribbon atop.
“It’s nothing big, but… you’re a good addition to the team. We’re closer, stronger, more vulnerable…” Leader trailed off.
Vulnerable was an interesting choice of words, but Hero shrugged it off with a hint of a smirk. They knew what Leader meant.
“I imagine informing you that your cheeks are going red would embarrass you further so I’ll say this instead: thank you for the gift.” Hero took the box from Leader’s clammy hands. “I’ll be sure to thank the team,” they said with a quick wink.
Before walking away, Hero added, “Allow yourself more confidence next time. You’re pretty cute when you fluster, but confidence is more my forte. Got it?”
Hero could have sworn they heard Leader swallow.
“I’ll- uh… yeah. Confident. More confident. No, I’ve always been confident.” Leader shook their head. “Happy birthday, Hero.” And they ducked their head as they strode down the hall, separating themself from the situation and their own embarrassment.
Leader wasn’t so messy with anyone else on the team. Hero managed a smile. They could get used to a flustered Leader if it came down to it.

I don't wanna sound bitter. Cuz I'm not. But I am very much disappointed. And probably a tiny bit mad.
Larian, I very much appreciate it that we get a new patch every 4 weeks or so and that you guys continously throw in "new" content, but; please for the love of everything that is holy take your time.
Patch 6 broke the game. Hotfix 18 made it even worse for modders, those with modded games and even just the vanilla experience. Patch 6 was very much still playable, whereas Hotmess 18 crashed the game round about every 30 minutes for reasons beyond human comprehension. Hotmess 19 fixed the .exe resulting in most script mods working again and Aron stopped his personal vendetta against me, but even now there's random funny lil bits and bobs of what the hell? and apparently some lines are marked as impossible again.
Please, for the love of god, test your patches. This is a fully released game, not EA and your players didn't sign up to be your beta testers. I know it's modern custom to treat your user base like they are, but speaking as part of the user base; I'd rather not.
I don't want to start the game directly from its .exe, continuously stay offline in Steam, or turn off auto updates for fear they will break everything yet again. I know my game is volatile because of mods; I understand that, and I'm not complaining about it, but mods didn't cause the bugs and crashes I've faced, and y'all confirmed it with the patch notes. Especially since I had the very same issues on my very much vanilla Steamdeck myself.
I do appreciate the work you do, but I don't appreciate the way how it is done. There will always be bugs and all. That much is normal. But they shouldn't be this severely game breaking or change the whole fucking .exe. That, to me, screams 99% untested, maybe on 1 particular notebook or PC and in some very small capacity, but not really. That's not a simple "oversight" anymore.
It happened before with Patch 4 which was incredibly broken and caused me to stay away from the game for weeks and I'm seeing it happen again right about fucking now.
Also the whole discord drama bit. If you know what I mean, you know how fucked up it was. Shall I add that some characters received a bunch of idles and some barely any or straight up none? If you commit to such updates, why not wait until you have something ready for everyone instead of stoking the flames by yourself voluntarily? Your players don't mind waiting longer if the end result is worth it, you know.
Please get your shit together Larian. You guys advocated for your players, but this isn't that anymore. This feels like a sellout. The very thing certain people tried to complain about at the Game Awards. Love you guys, but please. Please. Get it together again.
Okay. Got it out of my system. Back to my usual bullshit. On the bright side, this did trigger me to go write again after spending the entirety of yesterday asleep.
FYI; even if this was caused by the whining, get mad at the devs, not at your fandom. It wasn't their fault, the devs made these changes. Some of these people were right to complain (can we be adults about it this time pretty please? We all just want our ships to sail smoothly and our blorbos to be as developed as they deserve.)

— Merry Christmas! 🎄
I know it's technically not Christmas yet, just the day before, but in my country everyone tends to celebrate a little early and wish in advance so I'm doing that ❤️
I wanted to be able to give you a gift because I consider you an amazing writer and person, but unfortunately it won't be possible. Even so, I hope you can have a great holiday and spend Christmas with people you love.
(PS: If you are from any specific religion that doesn't celebrate Christmas, let me know and I can redo my comment! Either way, I hope your day is wonderful)
Merry Christmas! :D
Actually, in Sweden (where I live) we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve so you were actually right on time ;) Christmas Day is more of a "let's laze around and try to recover from all the food we ate yesterday but also eat even more because moderation is overrated" sort of deal.
Though it's a little different for me this year since I'm actually alone for Christmas — by choice, don't worry. So instead of Christmas food, I've been eating reheated takeout for the past three days since I've barricaded myself inside our house and refused to do anything even remotely straining (including cooking).
Basically, the last two months have been rough, with work being incredibly stressful and me being very sick (and just mentally and emotionally exhausted overall), so I decided to stay at home and rest. Which is pretty sad since my wife is visiting her relatives right now and there are some nephews I've yet to meet, but I would probably have collapsed if I had tried to go with her. Sooo yeah.
Also, please don't feel like you have to give me anything! I gladly share my writing with you all and I don't expect anything in return :) That said, I appreciate you thinking of me — that's very sweet of you! Thank you 💜
But yeah! Merry Christmas and thank you so, so much for taking the time to send me such lovely well-wishes! I hope you're doing well too and I wish you a good rest of the year and a wonderful 2024! :D
You're amazing 💜

New Neighbours kept me awake most of the night, came in at midnight and let their kid run around like a fucking elephant, and then banged and crashed all night. Doing it again now.
Today they have become rather intimate with the work of Metallica.
Megadeth next, I think.

Petty rant this morning- I can understand that somtimes even the nicest noises can be a nuisance, even painful, and believe me I have become cranky about all sorts of innocuous noises at the wrong time.
That being said, I have heard a surprising number of people complain about bellringers practising, when they moved into a house next to a mediaeval English church
#Oh I'm sorry we'll just move this twelfth-century bell tower somewhere that doesn't irritate you#Can it sometimes be a rather awful cacophony? Yes but they only get better if they practise#And even the worst noise of bells (from the distance of neighbouring houses not the tower) is better than car engines and drunk arguments#And bellringing is such a magnificent piece of craft and tradition; it's worth preserving even above and beyond any religious role#Though to be fair all the bellringers I've met seem to hold bellringing as their chief religion and are indifferent at best to the church#So it's not even that much of a reminder of Christianity imo#Thouhg I suppose people could disagree#Anyway church bells were one of the best things about living in the south of England#Even when they were rattling away very untidily#I miss them so much being back in Scotland where we only have a handful of towers at best#and certainly don't have the longstanding tradition of ringing in small churches#I have to get my kicks from the Tolbooth clock and let me tell you it just isn't the same as hearing an English bell tower ringing up#Let alone actually ringing the changes#It's one of the few genuinely wholesome English traditions and you want to whine about the sound of BELLS#Not because it's a sensory issue or anything just because you don't like your lie-in being interrupted#But you'd expect your neighbours to put up with your noisy barbecues#Actually never even mind disruptive events like that- in my opinion the noise of your silly car idling in the driveway is worse than bells#You trying to fit your massive SUV down the tiny streets of a small English village#Is always worse than plain hunt
