You ever witness a conversation that you’re not a part of but still leaves you with so many questions, but now there’s no one to really ask those questions to? (or you’re too nervous to bring it up with someone else because it’s a potentially touchy topic)

Mail Truck when I'm not receiving mail/not expecting anything: "La la la, all the mail trips for all the people here, la la la~"
Mail Truck as soon as I'm expecting multiple things: "I'm on break!" Me: "But you still operate on these days-" Mail Truck: "I'm on break!" *Absent*

Me, shopping for clothes back when child 1 was a baby: "Sure is a good thing that I have a boy, because I get to find him cute clothes with dinosaurs and whatnot, and get to avoid all pink frilly crap."
Me, shopping for clothes for current girlbaby: PINK! FRILLS! UNICORNS! PASTELS! PINK FRILLY UNICORNS! GLITTER! MORE FRILLS! AAA LOOK, CUTE PENGUINS!
why yes I did grow up in postsoviet scarcity wearing mostly my older boycousins' clothes and may be accidentally self-therapizing my way through some long-buried trauma.

I am the most cheerful pessimist I have ever met. Truly, it takes some skill.

Considering that 2020 has been the incarnation of the "This is fine" meme, 2021 has a realllly low bar to clear...

Me when I set multiple alarm clocks including the loud one to absolutely ensure I wake up: "Uhhh... 5 more minutes..."
Me when I set one or two alarm clocks for a non-important day but for the sake of keeping a schedule: "Ehh, I'll snooze for like an hour."
Me when I don't have important alarms but someone knocks on my door (probably for packages): "YES I AM AWAKE HELLO NEW DAY!!"
(But I won't use such sounds for an alarm clock because that's a good way for me to get too used to the sound.)

That very specific anxiety after you’re trying to decide on a movie to watch with family, and you see one and are like, “Oh yeah! I saw this a few years ago, I remember it being good, I think you’d like it =D” but then as you’re watching it, every single iffy part of the movie jumps out at you and you realize that this movie actually hits way, way harder than you intended it to when you suggested it, and you’re just sitting there silently bearing the responsibility of being the recommender like,

"Hmm, I have mixed feelings on this musical soundtrack I found and some of the decisions I read that they made for it," I say, before binge-listening to several of my favorite pieces from it 50 times in a row, and then subsequently becoming interested in seeing a video of the musical (when I have time).

Earlier I went to get the mail and heard a car approaching, then I realized I haven't really interacted with a human for about a month. So I awkwardly grabbed my letters, waved at the dog staring at me out the window, and ran away in my flip flops in 40F weather

Either the internet is becoming more incoherent or I'm getting dumber, but I swear more and more posts I see online I have to read two or three times before I understand what the heck they're saying.

I got offered a job by an old supervisor. Ahhhhh I'm trying to hold it together but I'm gonna start crying soon enough ahahaha...
It's with the DEP. Not my dream job, but it'll be with people who will appreciate me and that, more than anything, is what I need right now.

Me: Personally, I just don't find AU fanfiction that changes the entire premise and setting of a work to be appealing. If the fic is so far detached from the source material that the only thing connecting the two are the names of the characters, why bother? Why not just make an original piece to begin with? Not my cup of tea.
Also Me: Well, since The Sims 3 doesn't have a Law career track, I suppose I can just make my Phoenix Wright Sim a stay-at-home painter instead. I suppose the Business career for Edgeworth is good enough too.

I'm finally going to commit to my decision to cut back caffeine, gradually but still as quickly as possible.
Everything in moderation, and despite it having some health benefits it can't be good for my mental health (let alone the heart problems which run on my dad's side of the family) to have spent roughly ten years of my life reliant on at least a few cups of coffee per day.
