weird circle #1

A weird chain of events, as told through bluesky posts, starting with this post from dan 3 days ago.

I've always had an irrational fear of movie piracy 📼 due to knowing someone who was kicked out of college for watching How to Train Your Dragon in their dorm 🤣. (so the story went, I never verified I just believed and this was a long time ago). But a newer friend who loves movies and this post from dan compelled me to look into it.

A few prompts with China's finest and I learned about usenet and had a nice system running. I started downloading a few of my most embarrassing and cringe comfort movies + wedding singer because I'd never seen it and there was some online discussion about this movie in relation to taylor's wedding.

One of those comfort movies is Grandma's Boy 👾. I fucking love it... really

And the soundtrack is the origin for a lot of music I consume regularly, like fishcherspooner.

I really like odyssey, I sing Never Win probably every day. But I have to consume it from YouTube and I really fucking hate that. Licensing issues whatever, it's very frustrating to me. (will be looking into pirating music soon)

You know what else is good, All We Are . Tell me why the 1 month old top comments on that video are rest in peacing my beloved Marc Johnson 😭

When I was seventeen, every day before school (I do very repetitive things, it's a theme ✨) I would watch Marc Johnson's Fully Flared part. It's 13 mins of the best skating ever recorded (objective). Skateboarding was a great outlet for me as I did not have a great childhood and it was my escape from hell. It also was the only thing that pushed me to be social. I miss it dearly and actually I will be skating again soon, but I have a few transition goals to meet first before getting back into it. I'm also a very cocky bitch and know I'll rip

Okay so Marc Johnson was very influential to me. Like, I started smoking 🚬 because of him (13 secs into the clip, plus, a lot more media). I thought he looked really cool. I even wanted to make sure I looked like him for when I was to lose my hair. (obsessing over baldness when I was 17 is a clue to something I fully realized, like fucking last year, 🤦🏻‍♀️) I copied people a lot when I was younger. I probably still do. (I do)

You know what's great about smoking though. It's a thing you can do all day long. Every day. Forever ✨ It's so perfect for me honestly. (If you know an alternative please tell me. Replacing with drinking water sounds cool but I heard of a lady who drank too much water and died... wait 🤨)

// I don't know how to segue here lol, I'm not a writer. But these are connect okay, just in reverse order.

Something happened yesterday, a bad bad thing.

I have become obsessed with my nails. 💅 Learning how to grow and take care of natural nails became necessity to me when I realized my gel manicures were causing me to have perioral dermatitis (the skin care journey was long, I'm good now though ✨). And I just need to have feminine hands. Complimenting my nails is the nicest thing you could do for me.

thanks juliet 💕

I post them a lot, they're featured in most posts of me.

Breaking my "bad" nail refers to the nail on a finger I crushed in a weird job I had (I've had lots and I want to share about them soon :P). It was 8 months of growth lost because that nail grows so slowly. This was devastating. And it wasn't the worst part of yesterday.

In addition to breaking that nail, I BURNED 🔥 a nail yesterday??? In a fucking accident on my wife's cigarette??? They're fucking flammable?? The fuck

I had a pretty sad evening. I eventually came to the solution of quitting smoking. A fucking sad day indeed. I never imagined quitting (reasons above), but never again can this happen.

Today ended up being one of the most stressful days of recent days, but I had an appointment over video today and the other woman complimented my nails! 💕 Turned my whole day around (until the end of the call then it got straight shitty again... until my wife 🥵 talked me down and bought me my favorite sandwich, Thursday ritual ✨). After nails talk I even got to tell her how I learned juggling and crochet! I really love telling stories.

And now we're here. Dan didn't cause me to burn my nail, but things are connected right?? Now excuse me while I eat a brookie and watch Bring It On (again ✨).

Ps. Weaving stories through bluesky posts has been a long time plan for me, but I wasn't expecting a story to unfold this rapidly and wanted to share while relevant. Original timeline is another year of posting into the void ⚫️ (bluesky lmao)
