Firstly---Verivery's Kangmin is getting a solo debut! I'm excited and happy for him. :) My only hope, and chief concern, is that they don't suddenly prioritize his solo activities over the group activities. Yes, he's the most popular member and a solo comeback is probably less expensive than a group comeback, but all the members resigned with Jellyfish and the company owes it to them and to the fans to give us some group comebacks sometimes as well! But that worry aside, I'm excited! I'm sure the album will be amazing, and my congratulations and best wishes to Kangmin! (Although a Minchan solo debut is my #1 wish! for solo activities!)

Valentine's Day was Saturday! It was my first Valentine's Day together with Grey, and it was nice. I finally got to give him my gift, which I was super excited about! One of our favourite things to say to one another is "I love you to the moon and back", so I commissioned Marble to draw a picture of us in front of the moon holding each other with "I love you to the moon and back" written next to it. Thankfully, he loved it! :D And even set it as his background on his cell phone.

He sent me a gift as well, but it hasn't arrived in the mail, so I'm not sure what it is! But I'm super excited to find out. :)

Our Valentine's plans consisted of us making the same meal (tomato garlic pasta with garlic bread) and then watching 50 First Dates together over Discord! It was really nice, although honestly I felt really emotional since I really miss him. It sucks being so far away on Valentine's Day, especially on our first Valentine's day together. I just can't wait until I get to see him again. I also upped my dose of estrogen the other day, so that's conveniently making me extra emotional. But at the end of the day, I just love him and miss him. <3

We stayed up late talking on Valentine's Day, so yesterday I slept in and basically did nothing all day--except for dinner, when I took a spontaneous bus ride to McDonald's. I'm not sure if it was worth it, but if I hadn't done that I would've gone stir crazy, so I'll say it was!

Today was eventful! I hurried into London in the morning in order to pick up something very cool I won in an auction: an iBook G4!! I've always wanted one sinc I was 8 or so years old. Somehow I thought I would use it as a dedicated YouTube machine in the bathroom for a while? i never had a good use for one, but I've always wanted one, and I found this one on the cheap on eBay as a pick-up-nearby sort of thing for around $40. It came with the install DVDs, a charger and a case, and it works! And the battery even holds a bit of a charge!! I surfed the Net on it a bit this evening and it was the oolest thing. It runs Tiger, too, which is really cool---I think Tiger looks way better than Leopard, especially on that era of hardware. It's super WICKED!! :D I'll be posting photos on my Web site soon, but for now, that's another addition to my Mac collection!!

And now I'm talking to Grey on the phone! I miss being with him in person, but I'm still really glad I get to call him and video call him. It makes it all easier. :) I love him! <3 Happy Valentine's Day, honey, if you're reading this! ^-^

And a zillion to go, it feels like.

But I've been having fun since my last post! The other day I went to visit Blue up at (brace yourselves) Oxford, where he's doing a semester at Keeble College studying medievalism! I didn't get out of the house till terribly late, though, and then at the local station had to wait FORTY minutes for a train which I then took for six minutes to change to another station. At that point I may as well have walked.

But several train changes later (and one bus, since Oxford's station is being renovated) I made it! Blue greeted me at the station and we walked through ye olde city of Oxford! It was lovely, although there's a great deal more beige brick compared to my area of London. We went to a lovely mall---malls are one of my happy places---and got to ride some lovely escalators. (I've been developing an odd obsession with escalators of late. They are so very fun to ride!)

We then went to the Bodlean Library (my sincerest apologies for most definitely misspelling that) and saw a ridiculously small exhibition on Jane Austen. (which somehow still got quite the billing---I think the signs for it outside were bigger than the exhibition itself!) It was reminiscent of another disappointing exhibition we saw a couple of years ago...

Then I got to see the hallowed halls of Keeble! Although apparently Blue seldom has class there as tutors just come to his building. It vexes him greatly, and I get why! If one is at Oxford, one ought to make the most of it!

We went to the chapel service in the evening---it was Candlemas! Which is where you get candles and the (Anglican) priest blesses them and you light and hold them during the service. I didn't know that existed! And I'm Episcopalian---I though we were big into the ecclesiastical calendar, but I guess we don't compare to the Church of England! And then we went to FORMAL FREAKING DINNER!! it was the most formal meal I've ever been to. The started was this delicious mushroom tart/quiche, and for the main course there was GUINEA FOWL! I'd never had it before, but it was positively delectable. There were such excellent boiled potatoes (ha) and warm cabbage (that one was weird) on the side and sticky toffee pudding for dessert! It was splendid!

I did end up getting back really late, though. I got to the local train station after midnight and was the only one there, and it was really creepy. I couldn't find my way out for a bit either. I called Grey when I got to the station, when I was waiting for and on the bus (where the bus driver floored it as soon as I stepped on the bus while I was still looking for my credit card in my purse, and when I stumbled backward had the audacity to bang on his window and point at the payment terminal) and until I got back to my dorm because I was creeped out. And I didn't feel calm enough to go to sleep till about 2.

Yesterday was quite good as well---except that Grey broke the news to me that he's not going to be able to make it over here after all. I was really bummed, but obviously I understand---I won't get into it for privacy's sake, but he has a really good reason. It's just a bummer. :(

Today I slept in way late and I'm still tired! My ancient history class was pretty boring and I'm this close to giving up on reading Mrs Dalloway for my London Literature class for Friday. I've never been able to understand Virginia Woolf very easily, and having to read this book so quickly is definitely not helping with that either. I just struggle with the way it feels like her sentences all blend together with no definitive action, so I can never actually tell what's going on. I suppose that might be the point of her style, though---Modernist stream-of-consciousness writing and all that. I wish I could understand and appreciate it more, but I think it's just not for me.

I'm getting pretty tired now---I'm going to call Grey later, but for now I think I might just chill and do nothing or maybe play DS. The other day a couple friends and I went to the British Museum and I found a CEX store, where I grabbed an armful of DS games! I've been playing Frozen: Olaf's Quest. It's nothing extraordinary but it's pretty enjoyable. Toodles!

I didn't have class today, which meant it was my first big solo day in greater London! I was really excited for this. I went in with no plan, and was going to go wherever the wind blew me! Though that didn't end up being very interesting. But I still had some fun little moments. Someone was playing Fur Elise in Waterloo Station, and I had a lovely triple chocolate doughnut while I watched! I also had a cheeky Nando's! Forever fulfilling twelve-year-old me's dream. Nando's was really good! It had peri peri chicken. I'm still not 100% sure what that is but I like it! And hey, peri peri sounds like Verivery! I also had their chips (fries) and mac and cheese, which were both good.

I walked around for a long time, but I happened to be in an office-building-and-restaurant district, not one with any fun shops or attractions. Which I guess is the bad part of going "wherever the wind blows me". And I want to start finding more local places rather than chains. But I've already found some in my part of London, like this amazing Korean place Blue and I tried when he visited last weekend. Which reminds me: I need to add the link to his new Web site, because he's joined the ranks of my fellow Neocitizens! I need to work more on the main part of my site beyond my blog.

Anyways, I ended up catching a bus (or multiple, rather, because a lot of the buses had their routes cut short) and a train back to campus. Grey and I had a lunch/dinner date tonight! We both made tomato garlic chicken pasta, and since his lunch is when I eat dinner, we ate together and watched YouTube. :) It was really great! I miss him. But I guess that shows how much I love him, which I really do! <3 I miss spending whole days together with him, from morning till night. Those are some of my happiest times. :)

That's my day! Now it's getting really late, and I need to brush my teeth and go to bed! But at least I'm sleeping in tomorrow. So anyways, toodles!

Current Music: Re:Wind - We Got Time

Currently at my layover in Chicago! The first flight was barely an hour, so I didn't have time to do anything other than listen to a few songs on my iPod and lose to the CPUs in Tetris. (Despite the fact that I've gotten noticeably better to the point that I beat Grey most of the time. What the hell kind of CPUs are these?) Guys, the Chicago airport is seriously cool! There are all sorts of cool, magical light show-type things on the ceilings of the walkways, and I found myself wishing Grey were there with me so we could kiss underneath them. Now that would have been magical.

I think leaving him is going to be the hardest part of this semester. Over the past month of winter break we've been together most days of the week, and the worst thing for me is going to be not being able to kiss him and hug him. I really miss him! </3 I love him so much. I can't wait till he visits. :)

Anyways, TTYL! Grey's calling me. <3

Well, this is Sunday night, and I fly out on Tuesday! So I have a whopping two more days here until I leave for the great city of London! It's really exciting---but I'm also scared shitless. What if I don't make friends? What if I don't have enough to do and I'm bored and alone? What if I have too much to do and I'm overwhelmed? And then there's me and Grey. Things are great with him, and logically I know, and he has expressed, that he's going to wait for me, and he's not going away. But I guess I'm scared on a subconscious level. I have some abandonment issues due to past experiences with guys (i.e. over the summer when I got ghosted) and part of me still feels like the past several months with him have been a dream, that I'm going to wake up one morning all alone or come back from London to find out he has no clue who I am, or something horrible like that. I love him so dearly. We were going to try and hold all our tears until tomorrow but we couldn't make it. Or at least I couldn't, because I sobbed in his arms tonight. I don't think I'll be able to process it or anything until I'm over there and we keep calling and texting and e-mailing and IMing. That he's for real. That he's here to stay. I love him so much.

Anyways, all this is giving me cold feet. But I'm going to go, I'm going to do the solo, and WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE FUN! That said, Blue's going to be there too, a train ride away, Grey's going to visit, and my mum will too! And I think I might even see Pink as well! And I hope I'll make new friends too. :) I'm sure it won't be as bad as I fear.

That's it for now. This girl is getting really sleepy! Talk to y'all soon. :)

P.S. Happy seven years since debut to VERIVERY! I love them :D They're such an important part of my life and I've been a Verrer for almost seven years, i.e. over a third of my life! Their music has helped me through so much and is so incredibly valuable to me. WIthout them I would not be who I am today!

My semester abroad is flying closer and closer! Blue already left the country yesterday for England, since his program starts a week-ish before mine, and I've started counting down "lasts" for this. It seems silly, since I'll be back in a few months anyway, but still. I'll return twenty years old, first of all---a bona fide twenty-something! And the big thing is that I'm going to miss Grey. We have a few more good days to spend together before we leave, but I'm just really going to miss hugging him, and kissing him (not to be TMI), and just being together, in the same place, through more than just a computer screen. I really love him, and being able to spend so much time together this month has been amazing---it's practically spoilt me rotten. I really love him, you guys!

We had lunch together yesterday---frozen pizza while we watched TV. It was really nice. We relaxed and rested together on Sunday. And it hit me just how blessed I am to have him. In every particular, he's amazing, and we match together so perfectly. He's accepting of me being trans, he helps me work through my insecurities, he's a major goofball and a video game nerd, he goes to church with me, he values communication and emotional openness, and need I go on? He's the greatest blessing in my life at the moment---up there with going to England with my best friend!

I had some mishaps with my hormone doctor, which basically means that I don't have an appointment scheduled before I leave, although I thought I did, and so I'm freaking out about that. I'm going to call them today or tomorrow---I already sent a message/e-mail but no response so far. I'm about running out of my HRT and I'm going to need a refill. AUGH! God help me.

And I haven't even started packing yet. BUT thanks to my dad my white MacBook with the broken charging port is finally up and running again! And in fact, I'm writing from it right now. :) So life isn't all stress. But anyway, toodles!

This year was a really great year, guys! So I thought I'd do a little blog post to review everything that's happened this year. :)

Spring semester of my freshman year was not super eventful but was pretty cool! I got to deepen my friendships with people at college and even start a K-pop club! I was busy but had a really good time. I had some crushes on guys and almost got the courage to ask one out, though those didn't end up going anywhere---and honestly, I'm glad! Everything that was meant to happen happened in time.

And then after the semester ended, I got to go to FREAKING KOREA!! I'm still so happy I got the chance to go there. I hadn't been on an actual vacation since I was probably six or seven, and even then that was nowhere near as cool as Korea! I won't go into too much detail, since my posts are up here for y'all to go read, but it was so cool and a life-changing experience that really made me want to travel and see the world! It was INSANELY cool and I really hope I get to go again!

Then I had an amazing summer. I hung out with Blue and Green a ton and we had a lot of amazing fun antics! I went back to work at a local grocery store, like I had the previous summer, and met Red, my work bestie, and some other work friends! My work life was a lot more fun than before. And, one particularly amazing thing came from that job... a really cute, really sweet guy asked me out one night! He had come through my lane before and developed a little crush on me so when he saw me a couple weeks later he asked me out. :) He became my first date and my first kiss! And that guy is now my wonderful, amazing, unbeatable boyfriend Grey!

I also had some romantic false leads---my love life was surprisingly active all of a sudden this summer! It's funny now to look back at my thoughts on those other guys at the time. It took me a bit to be sure about Grey, but now I've never been surer about anything. I am so in love with him and just want to always be by his side. <3 Grey, if you're reading this, I love you so much! I can't understate it. Grey's so accepting, understanding, mature and loving. I didn't even know if I could ever find a guy who'd be okay with me being trans! But he's so insanely supportive about everything, and he's also a major goofball and a fellow gamer. :)

Granted, the summer wasn't perfect, even love life-wise---I did have a big heartbreak---but I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. And at least that heartbreak helped me to know that Grey was for real, and trustworthy, when we started dating. :)

This semester was realllllly busy (never taking that many credits again!) but I got to develop my club and my friendships even more. I think I'm finally beginning to see who my best friends at college are! :)

Over Thanksgiving break, after talking with Blue inspired me to seize the day---or, I suppose, the guy---Grey and I became official! And shortly afterward, we said our first I love yous. <3 It was all so exciting and still is!

I also got a hyperfixation on Legally Blonde: The Musical this semester! And I got to go visit Blue out west at his college! And finally, Verivery FINALLY had a comeback this December AND got a win for it!!!

And I got to meet Grey's family and friends recently and everything seems to be going well. :) I'm so in love with him and I'm so happy to have him. I'm also so happy to have all my amazing friends, to go to a nice school, and everything else---and to have this blog! I love blogging here and I hope you guys like reading it. :)

This has been a great year and 2026 has so much in store! If you had a good year, I'm thankful for you, and if not, I hope and pray 2026 has unexpected blessings for you. <3 I'm so looking forward to it! Happy new year, everyone! I'm off to go have lunch with some old friends and then celebrate with Grey tonight!

I've had a wonderful Christmas! It's not quite over yet, as Blue, Green and I still have to have our gift exchange this coming Tuesday, but so far I've been able to spend a lot of time with my loved ones. Last Sunday, I went over to Grey's and we had a gift exchange with his brother and sister-in-law! (I probably need to make them their own blog names at some point.) Grey and I wrote each other letters and I love his. :D And he got me a Microsoft Word 2003 guide book/textbook since he knows that's what I use on my XP laptop! I made him a scarf and he loved it, thank God. :) And I just barely finished it! Which reminds me, the day before I had gone to Red's Christmas potluck and just barely finished the scarf whilst I was there! Blue and I also watched The Muppet Christmas Carol---a Christmas must for me---on Monday!

Besides that, his brother and sister-in-law gave me some tea and cocoa, and some mugs, and even this really cool Gilmore Girls cookbook and matching Luke's apron! I'm definitely going to use those, especially when I stop living in dorms with no kitchen and my parents' house with a kitchen in disrepair.

Then, on Wednesday (Christmas Eve) I had a double Christmas. In the morning, I went to his dad's family and met his dad for the first time! It was really nice to meet everyone and we had some fun watching Christmas movies and checking out his dad's racing rig---a steering wheel, pedals and triple monitors that let him play racing games as if he were actually in a car! His dad and the rest of that side of the family got me some fancy lotions and perfumes and stuff, and even a Kate Spade bag. I thought it was really sweet of them to think of me!

That evening I went to my dad's family's Christmas. There was some good food and I got to catch up with some people, at least, but a lot of people were missing and Mean Aunt was there. Thankfully I got by without saying above five words to her. But it was pretty boring. Grey's mum got into town (she lives a couple hours away) that night and I really wished I could have been celebrating with them instead!

Christmas day my parents and I got up and we had our own little Christmas! My mum got me this really lovely Jane Austen tote bag and I got some travel stuff, too, plus my mum is having a beret made for me by this nice local lady! Then we got in the car and headed to my mum's family. I liked seeing my cousins and chit-chatting with my family, and I even learned to double crochet! But I still wished I could've been with Grey and his family. Oh well. I got some nice Victorian novels from my grandma! Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte, Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell (one of my favourite authors) and The Small House at Allington by Anthony Trollope. One of them was wrapped in a massive box for a kick, LOL!

And then yesterday I finally got to meet Grey's mum! We went to this nice little Chinese restaurant for lunch and then back to Grey's apartment, where she gave me my Christmas present! I was really surprised and touched she got me anything in the first place, and a little bummed out I didn't get her anything! She got me a beautiful leather-bound journal to write my study abroad adventures in and some amazing erasable pens in an array of colours to match, and got me and Grey matching game controller Christmas tree ornaments! They have our initials written on the back. :) She also wrote me this really sweet and heartfelt card. :) And then we three played some Puyo Puyo Tetris! I was nowhere near either of their levels, but I found a 3DS version so I'm going to train up before I see her next. And I did beat her once or twice. :) Granted, that was with me playing on the lowest difficulty and her playing on the highest, but... a win is a win!

I'm just glad that meeting Grey's family went well! Everyone seems to like me so far and I like them too! I also met his best friend today at lunch and we had a nice time. :) And all of my friends he's met so far seem to like him! The only one of my best friends he hasn't met yet is Rose! A few of my non-best close friends he also hasn't met, but I really want him to meet Rose. Maybe if everything ever aligns and we're in town at the same time as her and her boyfriend, we could go on a double date! That'd be really fun. I still need to see if Green and his partner are available to do a double date like we were planning over Thanksgiving break! Sadly I was too busy then.

But yeah. It's been a great week! It's only now hitting me, though, that I'm gonna be gone for a few months! I'm really going to miss Grey and all my friends! At least Blue will be there with me, though! And Grey's going to come visit. :) I'm really gonna miss him but I have no doubt we'll make it through and come out on the other side a stronger couple for it!

Well, I'm off to go play some more Tetris. It's addicting!!!

Hey everyone! Long time no blog! :( I've been busy and overwhelmed but I'm getting my life back on track. Friday, probably, I'll make a bigger update post talking about Christmas and my holidays so far but for now I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Christmas! It's been a great one so far. :) Although mine's very spread out this year! I think I have six separate Christmases this year: one with Grey, his brother and his sister-in-law; one today with Grey's dad and his side of the family; another today with my dad's side of our family; one with me and my parents tomorrow; one with my mum's side of our family tomorrow; and one with Green and Blue next Tuesday! And that's not counting exchanging gifts with Eggshell before I left college for the semester. But above all, I'm just glad I get to spend time with those I love, especially Grey. I guess Hallmark movies are right. Christmas is at least a little bit more magical when you're in love. :) Grey, if you're reading this, I love you! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Just a quick update---a longer update is coming later!

I just finished and submitted my linguistics final paper! Which means that I'm officially finished with sophomore year, first semester. :) I already came home last night to see Grey sooner! I didn't have anything yesterday except that I got lunch with Eggshell, Rose and Mauve! The three of us haven't all been together at the same time since probably March---so it was so fun!! We had ramen and then got boba afterward and had a lot of fun chatting and catching up for a couple hours.

I went over to Grey's last night and we watched the Lizzie McGuire Movie! I was really glad to finally introduce it to him as it's one of my favourite movies. I need to show him all the cultural resets that shaped me into the woman I am. But I think we're in it for the long haul, so I have plenty of time. :) I'm going to have lunch really quick right now and then go over and play Minecraft with him! Toodles! :D

P.S. very tired, due to exams and also the fact that not last night but the night before Eggshell and I stayed up watching YouTube till 3AM!!

Well, it's finals week around here, and I am... stressed!! I had a bit of a mental breakdown over the weekend for unrelated reasons, and earlier today and yesterday felt poorly because, in my infinite hubris, I ate cookie dough I had let sit out for a while on Friday night before putting back in the freezer. Don't do that!! I had to cancel plans because of it.

I'm pretty much done, though! With a "Chip On My Shoulder", I finished my creative writing portfolio and English essay on time despite my mental breakdown, and now all that's left is an education not-really-exam tomorrow and a final paper for my linguistics class due Thursday---so I don't have too, too much to work on!

Special shoutout to my boyfriend Grey, whom I'm video calling right now. :) Love you!

So I've been ultra busy the past few days and I have a half-finished Black Friday recap post to post here when I get the chance, but let me just take the time to say here how wonderful my boyfriend is. (I know you read this blog babe!) Over the past week, I got to spend so much time with him and my relationship keeps deepening. You guys, I'm seriously falling in love. And as we've been getting to know each other we've had serious things come up that we need to discuss. I can't decide if this man is what I deserved all along or if I don't deserve someone this good, but he's the most emotionally intelligent man I ever met. He's always willing to work things out with me and hear me out and everything and I still don't think I can really believe it. I'm not perfect and I definitely have my shortcomings as a girlfriend but he makes me want to, even need to be better. I really think I'm in this for the long haul, guys. So y'all better get used to hearing Grey's name (or rather, his nom de blog) quite a lot. :)

I've had three great days in a row! If you remember how I said this summer that I was going to make it my best summer ever (at least so far) (which I think I succeeded at, by the way), I think this is going to be my best Thanksgiving break yet as well! 2025 has been a really great year for me. It hasn’t been perfect, but I’ve had an amazing summer, and I got to visit Korea!! And I’ve solidified and deepened a lot of my friendships at college, and I got a boyfriend who’s amazing and wonderful, and I also got to go visit my best friend out west and it’s just generally really amazing!

Saturday, although I was sleepy, I had a nice time chilling most of the morning and afternoon, and my dad and I went out for lunch! We had a nice conversation and it was nice to actually bond with him for once--not a common occurrence. In the afternoon, I went to a thrift store and bought some books, and then hung out at the public library until it closed, where I managed to get my Windows XP laptop (which has been having serious charger issue, as if my MacBook not charging wasn't enough) to actually charge! Then in the evening, Grey and I went into town and had Korean for dinner! It was really great, although we over-ordered--we got kimbap and Korean fried chicken assuming that's all they would give you, but they also give every table fried rice and Korean pancakes. Yeah, we had a lot of leftovers. And that sweetheart insisted I take them all!

Then we drove around for a while, trying to find a nice place to park and just sit and stargaze and relax, but we kept getting lost. But that just made it more of a fun adventure! We eventually just settled on a school parking lot outside of town, and we chatted, and cuddled, and looked at each other's photo libraries and started watching the first episode of Gilmore Girls on my iPod! Partway through we went to a convenience store to use the bathroom, and we got some soda and Skittles. It was a really great evening--and definitely one to remember!

Then yesterday, I had another relaxing morning and I talked with Blue on the phone. I’ve been worrying about whether or not I was 100% “ready” or whatever to make it official with Grey—which, I think, grew out of my whole love triangle dilemma type thing from a few months ago—but talking to Blue convinced me that I had to take life by the balls (so to speak) and just make it official! So I did. :) and it just so happened to be on the four-month anniversary of him asking me out!

And then I went into town and hung out with Ink at the mall! I saw her at Legally Blonde since she was part of that production, but beside that I hadn’t seen her in probably a year! We went to the food court and had lunch and complained about our respective professors/classmates, and then we walked around a bunch of stores and bought some stuff. The mall was having this little fair-type thing for local vendors to come in and sell, stuff so we found some cool stuff. Ink found this massive knit (crocheted?) mushroom cat and I found A) a little Stardew Valley chicken for me and B) part of Grey and Green’s Christmas gifts! Besides that, I acted as Eggshell’s personal shopper and bought him some fuzzy Bluey pyjama pants. I also got some mascara (which I had a minor fumble disaster applying this morning).

After that, we went to Five Below. I got Marble’s Christmas gift, and some Hello Kitty instant ramen (which is realllly good) and got myself a little Bluetooth lip phone thing that connects to my flip phone! Whenever I get or make a call, I can pick it up and talk from it. It’s almost like having a home phone! Except that I can’t actually make calls from it, and it also doesn’t ring. :( But maybe there’s one like that out there!

This morning Grey and I had a really nice date. :) First, we went to this little café in town where I got a pain au chocolat and an Earl Grey tea (although I think I let it steep too long), and then we went to the public library for a cute little study date. I was working on trying to figure out my XP laptop’s antivirus situation—which I got distracted and hyperfocused on (-_-) —and on my English final paper! It’s not due for another two weeks, but I figured it’d be good to get a head start! Look at me, being such a dutiful student! And I got a page and a half out of the four-to-six-page requirement done. So I’ll have an easier week next week! Although I didn’t get to A) working on my linguistics lesson plan project or B) e-mailing my creative writing professor about his bogus feedback on my short story like I meant to. (Okay, maybe the conflict wasn’t fully developed, but “no discernible main character and no real conflict” is bull. Especially considering the main character’s NAME is in the TITLE and she is the ONLY person whose thoughts we actually follow.) But I can do that tonight and tomorrow!

Then, Grey and I went out to get ramen for lunch! It was very yummy. I also got some mango lemonade! It reminded me of our first date, where I had mango boba. :) Grey’s totally great, but I think my favourite thing about him is how open he makes me feel. I feel like I can really be myself freely around him—I don’t have to mask my neurodivergency at all, and (although it’s still hard) I can open up about stuff as well. He’s really amazing. :) If you’re reading this, mwah! :3

Then I came home and watched The Paper—which I really like so far! Although I’ve only watched two episodes. But I like it. Esmerelda is my favourite character! And then I ended up taking a nap. I’ve been staying up late lately (ha) although I’m determined to change that tonight. Speaking of stuff that needs to happen tonight, I need to go heat up my leftovers from the Korean place for dinner! Toodles, everyone! :)

Current Mood: happy and content :)
