got a lot done today. woke up ungodly early and felt like a dessicated carcass bc i'd stayed up until 2:30 talking to Bird on skype hahaha. [100% worth it] groggily drove all the way to Monroe to get the car looked at. then bb and i went to bojangles and then the dam, to pass the time.

while there, we saw a few things: a guy catch a fish, a turtle poking its snoot out from the water and then pulling it back down and crawling along the surface looking for food, and most remarkably, a pair of nesting canada geese! we first saw the one who was sleeping on a log across from us, and we wondered if it was okay. then with a shock we noticed the second one just fifteen feet away from us, sitting on a nest. i crept closer and she didn't budge, didn't lift her head or hiss or seem disturbed in any way. just sat still and calm on her nest and watched me with one beady eye. it was beautiful. i got three feet away from her before she finally started to make the tiniest movements of her head to suggest she might flee, which i didn't want even though i would have loved to see those eggs or babies. [i didn't however want to get my ass beat too awful much lmfao] she was sooo calm and beautiful and i felt so blessed. it was like the lake had missed my presence, and led me to a beautiful little gift as a reward for coming to visit.

it's been kind of a long stressful day for everyone haha. we did get my car worked on and it was a hefty sum, but maybe not as bad as i was expecting. AND we even got it inspected at the same place, another thing i didn't expect... although the inspection says union county, and i made sure to mention that i was in a different county now just in case that mattered and he said he was able to inspect for all counties in the state.... hopefully that won't matter much or else that's 30 bucks down the pooper! the car did stall on the ride home though, which was a bit stressful, but it started right up again like it always does, so. we didn't address that issue, just got the power steering leak corrected and fixed the horn problem that it's had literally since i got it three years ago LOL. so now THE HORN WORKS AND THE CLOCK DISPLAYS. amazing. it was just a bad ground somewhere, which is pretty much what i expected. so the only thing left to get done is renew my property tax and/or registration i guess?? and figure out how to inform the powers that be that i'm in a new county now?? i have until mid may though so it's not a huge rush.

ya that's about it. i should have stopped sleeping at 7 but i kept going and woke up mid sleep cycle i think, bc i WAS feeling rested but now i feel tired again LOL. ain't that some shit. but it's a short work night tonight [although it's bullshit that i even have to work tonight this is always my day off aaahhhh] so hopefully it will be chill and relatively painless. [also i kept falling asleep and dreaming about talking to Bird help me im large trash]

never know what to write lately lol. day off, but don't have another one tomorrow. they disrupted my schedule and it's upsetting lol. more upsetting is that i have to go to bed and wake up and go get my car worked on sobs. it's really stressing me out and idk why. i guess i'm just convinced that something is Very Very Wrong and that i'll get really bad news. i'm VERY NOT GOOD at waiting on bad news it makes me so crazy and so stressed.

but. ok. absolute worst case scenario, the car isn't worth fixing and effectively is totaled. and i need a new one. that's doable. and nothing in this situation would be worse than that i think. and it will almost certainly not be that bad lol. i'll be fine. just stressed bc my routine is thrown off and i only have one day to rest out of eleven days of work. x_X

but it's cool. we're driving WAY out of fucking town just to go to the mechanic that i trust lmao. hope they appreciate that. gonna bring my games and my phone and charger aaannnd.... idk what else. bird is gonna be so busy and stuff tomorrow so i won't have her to talk to much and that's sad but it's ok. busy times ahead for her and kinda for me too what with getting my car fixed up and inspected in a new county and new paperwork and such.

YEH NOT MUCH ELSE GOING ON just watched steven universe with bb and went and did some job hunting with him and played with the animals and roommates and talked to ma burd and stuff. STUFF. living a life and it feels good

ICE AND SHIT IS HERE YAY >:| and we drove up to grand asia market and on the way home my car stalled while rolling. whyyyy this. [car stalls are one of those things that gives me HUGE HUGE HUGE ANXIETY for no reeeal reason. but yeah my heart was hammering for like 15 minutes after that] it started up fine and didn't try to stall again, but it sounded unhappy to me the whole ride home idk. i think bb is going to drive me and pick me up tonight BUT LOL he blew a tire last night and is driving on a spare. more >:|. it's a real tire and not a donut or i wouldn't have even asked him. but also my tires are Bald As Hell. we both need tire money -^- if only i wasn't needing my tax refund for moving expenses, i'd buy at least two tires with it.

my manager was like 'you should come in at 7 to miss the weather!' and uhhh. three hours early? no thank u. especially knowing how slow it's gonna be tonight. i'm good. i'll risk it since 90% of the road is going to be salted and therefore almost certainly fine. i am not going out in this shit for almost 11 hours no thx. besides i already have to get HOME in it anyway and that's the worst part.

the idea of a Broken Arrows tattoo is still bouncing around in my head. i have a few ideas, but i'm liking the crossed arrow halves, making an x-shape. i just did a practice one on my forearm but actually i am kinda thinking outer ankle. it'll be quick and simple and probably pretty cheap. that should be my next tattoo. been itching for something for a while now. can't believe it's been over 5 years since my last one???? nearly 6???

my room is SO WARM and it's so nice after being out there in that sludgy shit. bleeehhh the weather is garbage. and Bird is out there in the desert right now and it's so warm there like, breaking high temperature records and her hawk is molting levels of warmth. what the hell man. meanwhile i'm just glad i'm off tomorrow to maybe give the weather a chance to get its shit together. the forecast so far is saying that it's gonna be relatively chill, just cold... while i'm off work. >:| but then this weekend it might ice again or even snow. ughhh stahp.

uhh what else. Shearwater continues to blow my mind and never leave my ears. continues to be relevant and important at all times. i'm actually trying to not listen to it as much as i feel compelled to because it's fucking beautiful music and if i burn myself out on it it will be A Crime.

ya i guess that's it. will update tomorrow assuming i don't die of ice :v so ready for winter to be done ok. i am and always will be a summer person.

list of things i should look into doing in preparation for the move:


- get an oil change and stuff done on the Cruiser so it can handle long distance driving better. done! ish. it's still a high mileage car and will complain a little :c
- buy a little extra oil/power steering fluid so i can replenish the car whenever it needs, poor thing is gonna be doing quite a bit more driving than it's used to. thank god gas is cheap now ;;
- collect boxes from work. store them either in the car or downstairs or something until i need them.
- clean out my car really good. just go to jimmy clean, get the cheap wash and throw out/vacuum everything.
- figure out how to collapse/remove the seats in the back of the Cruiser for moving big things and lots of boxes. that is so fucking useful and neat man YEH i love my car. i hope it lives forever.
- WASH EVERYTHING. this won't be until later but might want to invest in like my own bottle of cleaner because i'm going to have to clean EVERYTHING. i mean everything except like, the books and other paper. every single altar tool will be cleaned. everything dusted, washed of cobwebs or whatever [this room has AWFUL cobwebs. i think it's just because of the chimney. if you don't keep on top of it the cobwebs are terrible in here!]


so yeah we are starting to be IN TALKS with our friends in the city regarding the move. barring some crazy unforeseen circumstances, this is probably gonna happen. we've got like one or two more avenues we want to check out just so we can say we've sussed out all of our possible options. [except the dad thing. i guess i've chickened out of that since we found another option. for now.] and then i think we're going up there to see them and take bb to a nearby job interview on Tuesday, which is my next day off so. yes. :3

woke up really realy early today and took the car to the shop. the guy told me that the power steering fluid was leaking like crazy, which i of course knew already. he just wanted to make sure i was refilling it regularly. there's no way i could ignore that awful whine/vibration when it gets low, so yes of course i am. i'd be terrified to break something in the power steering if there was no fluid o_o so the car is a lot happier now, hopefully it'll stay that way! i actually took it for an oil change AND tune up, but he said we already did one recently [august??? was that recent enough?? lol] and it wasn't in need of another one. so, ok. whatever makes the Cruiser happy haha.


idk what happened exactly but Bird & co. had a really rough day yesterday and UGH WHY DON'T I HAVE LIKE $800 RIGHT NOW SO I CAN GO FLY THERE AND TAKE CARE OF THEM -n- it's like 8 am there right now and they're not awake yet of course but like jfkasjdlaksbna FREN IS IN DISTRESS unacceptable. >:C

i want to get the question of where exactly we're moving to be answered as soon as possible, because i'm pretty sure i know the answer, but that also leads to more questions, such as where exactly will i be staying for two-ish weeks starting a month from now? i won't be sleeping in my car or anything, but... i reeeeally don't want the experience of being cooped up in that tiny blue room living out of boxes while i listen to them dismantle my room that i put so much effort into. weh. :[ if only the previous tenant was moving out like... ten days earlier, even. the sucky thing is that not only Hiccup's birthday is gonna be during this mess, but even more importantly, bb's birthday is too! T_T so we'll be in upheaval and really broke. that sucks ass. but i will do my best to make it the best birthday he could imagine.

ya. so. i'mmm gonna have a nap or something :v and play more animal crossing. it's almost like i'm back to where i started, down to one game. [although animal crossing was like my 2nd or 3rd game for the system. but. DETAILS]
