MILESTONES

today, i got my driver's license. it is a huge accomplishment due to my rightful and devastating fear of cars. i am still anti-car, but GOD DAMN I DID THAT. im reminded that i can and should do things, especially when im scared. and i should keep going when i feel like giving up. im still gonna b taking the bus and train everywhere though cause i < 3 public transit. besides this epic turn of events, life has been interesting. i am making a lot of new friends and going out more! community feels good. the other day, i even went with a friend to see TURNSTILLLEEEEE that shit was crazy bru. actually electrifying and comforting at the same time. i kinda feel like the girl who is gonna be okay right now #maleish

NEW AND OLD (SKILLS)

recently, i have been trying to practice the drums and bass more often and i have even picked up crocheting. i've realized i enjoy working with my hands a lot. painting, preparing food, pulling weeds, cleaning things, plucking strings. even coding requires me to type away on the computer :D idk how i've never realized this before but there's a unique satisfaction that comes with it. it's calming, too. i should probably try pottery next.

anyway, it's another summer stuck in new york!! i have plans to visit a major US city that's brand spanking new to me though and i'm so excited. i also plan to find a job that doesn't make me want to explode everyone with my mind. for now, what keeps me going during my shifts is my virtual ant farm that is tomodachi life. boss makes a dollar, i make a dime, etc. i love seeing my little bugs go.

IAN TURNS 25,000

the semester is finally over and today, i am 25 years old. for once, that number does not seem decrepit and ancient. that could be due to the frontal lobe development, or maybe just the life experiences. today i will sing karaoke and eat doughnuts so it will be epic. i also finaaallly got tomodachi life and im immediately putting george costanza on here along with kiryu and his fifty kids from yakuza 3. i also want to mention, i have been really into LOST lately. here's some pics from my wonderful trip to chicago ^_^ i also want to recommend that fellow covid conscious people try the app Refresh Connections! it is great for connecting with other leftists who mask.
