Call Me Trixie

I didn't even go out seeking her this time at all. I haven't worried about MLD for a while, especially since Aerith and I began dating. A month or so ago, I did notice that MLD's side profile had popped back up on my "People You May Know" tab. However, I decided not to call her out on my own page again like I had before. If she's that curious to see how well I'm doing than that's on her. Oddly, the latest craziness with her didn't even come from her directly. Since I'm not longer friends with her on social media and she blocked me from her main page, I never see any of the drama playing out in her life. Which is totally fine with me as there's usually a lot. Well, this time, a mutual friend of ours on social media shared a post where they were asking for more information on MLD's oldest son. Apparently, she hadn't heard from him for a few days and it was worried that he was in crisis.  I read through the comments and got as much inf...

There's a phrase that says something like "I love my friends and family. They're just as weird as me." That could not be more true of mine. For instance, Griffin. He's a dopey moron but I love him as my best guy friend. After going about a week without speaking, we're back on the same page. I finally realized that he was either too stubborn or too naive to apologize for how he was acting a few weeks ago. So, I shared last Friday's post with him (the one with the "hint hint Griffin" line) and we were able to start speaking again. He's a dumbass but he's also MY dumbass. If there's one thing that Kitty loves, it's change. She can't seem to sit still in one spot for too long or keep things the same for more than a few months at a time. That includes her office space layout, her work schedule, her leisure schedule and just about everything else. Thankfully for her husband, that doesn't also include him lol. They have their ups...

"We were only following orders." - Numerous  I feel like we'll be hearing that excuse again if the American Gestapo, also known as ICE, is ever tried for their crimes. It used to be that trained soldiers would use such an excuse to try and explain why they committed such heinous acts in a foreign country during war time. However, we all know that this group isn't a fully trained group of soldiers. It's a bunch of idiotic, mostly overweight, undertrained, and over armed mob of scumbags that are attacking, beating and killing American citizens on our own soil. Renee Good and Alex Pretti (along with the one detainee who was allegedly murdered while in a detention center) were the first but I fear they'll be far from the only. From the way these masked, murderous assholes wrestle unarmed protesters to the ground and hold them there while spraying mace into their eyes, to the way they use five year olds as bait to coax people out of their homes, to the way they att...

Hello, my loves! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was upset by a massive snow storm that blanketed the eastern US. We got well over one foot of snow yesterday and had a bit more overnight. They said we could get upwards of another foot of snow today. Hopefully not. It was bad enough though to where my boss said that we could stay home today. So, I'm planning to watch some history specific videos on YouTube channels such as History Buffs and The Armchair Historian (seriously, check them out!) and play some Assassin's Creed Revelations (I've been going through the Ezio Trilogy). I had wanted to go shopping this past weekend with Kitty to the nearby college town. We'd hoped that Aerith could come with us so that the two of them could meet. Well, both of them ended up having plans. I thought about riding solo but, once the weather reports started coming in last week, I decided to hold off for another time. Instead, I made an appointment on Saturday to file my tax re...

 As I wait very impatiently for volume six of Heartstopper to arrive via graphic novel (I hear sometime in July but that might as well be twelve years away), I've decided to read some of the non-Heartstopper branded stories in the Oseman-verse. As you can tell by the title of this post, this one is about one of her e-books: This Winter. This story is more of a novella than a full on book but it's still more Oseman-verse material for me to digest. It takes place on the first Christmas Day with Nick and Charlie as a couple. Charlie has just come out of being an inpatient for his anorexia as well as his self harm relapse. Obviously, this leads to issues when his extended family arrive at the house for their Christmas party and continue to either ask him questions or make their own warped observations about mental health facilities. Charlie's sister Tori describes the scene as this: "I hate the way people react when they learn Charlie spent a few weeks as an in-patient. As...

Since I've become more open about myself on social media, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Ignorant people just can't help themselves sometimes. Funny part was that it wasn't even on my own page or DMs. I've been following lots of pride style pages (Pan Pride, Gay Pride, LGBTQ comics, etc.) and one happen to ask for people to post selfies from the last time they felt cute. I responded with one I took prior to my most recent date with Aerith. I made sure to mention how that night ended with me having a girlfriend (still love pointing out that I have one now lol). This morning, I got a notification that my post had a comment. It was from a profile called "fcuk the system" (yes, that's really how they spelled it). Ooooh, so tough and rebellious. Misspelling words so as not to trigger Zuckerberg's vulgarity bots. Their profile header says something like "fighting the good fight against the vegan, liberal, and transgender crap" (I say ...
