DO interact if you: enjoy cold weather, listen to Genesis because of your dad, wear primarily Doc Martens, still go to church, can name every song by your favorite band just by intro music, tried to learn drums in middle school, sound like you're from California even though you're not, briefly sang in a band, drink your coffee unsweetened, prefer big dogs, favorite flower is a regional wildflower, write solely on your phone, favorite genre is sci-fi, emo but don't look like it, have never been to Chicago O'Hare Airport, speak an ancient language, bedtime is midnight, are a middle child, enjoy memorizing things, like pineapple on pizza, have never listened to Metallica, want tattoos but don't have any, have a scar above your eyebrow, wear shorts with long-sleeved shirts, brunettes with hazel eyes, guilty pleasure read pulp action novels, have a low alto/high tenor vocal range, have never kept a succulent alive

cold weather / church / big dogs / O’Hare* / midnight / Metallica / shorts and long sleeves / never kept a succulent im about halfway on some others but not 100% (for instance I drink my coffee unsweetened about half the time and with honey the other half and I still can’t quite tell if my eyes are hazel or green. they’re not as green as my mom’s but there’s only a tiny ring of brown/amber. and I guilty pleasure read pulp action/sci-fi *glances at my 25cent X-Files novels*) so technically 8. but it could be more if you squinted. XD *oh and the O’Hare one applies right now but only for a few more weeks ehehehehe

my youth leader texting me after church last sunday to say he felt I needed some prayer after I sat there and cried silently through most of sunday school and probably also all of the singing part of the main service :') i'm good i'm fine really just... having some Thoughts and Feelings and apparently they show on my face more than usual lately (ok maybe I'm not fine but I'm surviving and that's all we can do sometimes) but also him texting me was so kind and thoughtful and it's another instance of how God's been using his people to show me his love lately (also-prev tags: lu I'm definitely not pregnant so you don't have to worry about that coming from me. but also oof. that's a lot. exciting! but a lot. *sends hugs*)

Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someone’s life? A coworker can be like “I’ve missed seeing you” and I’m just like “???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?”

my coworkers have all been checking in with me since I started getting sick and had to miss almost a week of work they keep asking me how I'm feeling and they comment on it when I'm not looking too well (just like 'hey you're looking kinda pale... you don't feel well again today do you' in a sympathetic way) and I... really appreciate that tbh one of them told me he has a friend who's a nutritionist and he's gonna ask him about what I've been going through and it's just. idk. been really nice that people care? even when I don't have the energy to be super invested in what's going on with them and I feel so bad about that bc I feel like I should return the same care they've shown me but sometimes I guess all we can do is accept care and kindness and hope that someday we can pass that along to someone else even if it's not the same people who showed that kindness to you first life lessons

oh but I’ll be able to go back to Chicago! just the airport and just for like an hour and a half but it’ll be cool to be back there again!!

my flight out has a short layover in O'Hare which... slightly terrifies me but I'm gonna be brave and strong and it'll be ok I went to chicago once (1) for an Event and it was a great experience but I will forever be sad that I didn't actually get to spend more time there or see anything other than 1) the hotel 2) the convention center 3) the chipotle we ate at twice one day I'll go back and actually get to see more of the city... and maybe one day I'll go to Chicago TARDIS bc that looks so fun gurt says stuff

the wingfeather saga polls I'm actually quite curious to see how many people here on tumblr have read/are watching/even know what Wingfeather is

hey why is trying to book a flight so weird and anxiety-inducing. couldn’t they think of my poor nerves.

the whole online plane ticket purchasing experience is just constantly feeling like I'm gonna mess up one little thing and ruin EVERYTHING also GOODNESS they manage to tack on a whole lot of random fees for stuff that doesn't seem necessary/it doesn't seem like I should have to pay extra for??? like??? “75 dollars for extra legroom” well my legs aren't THAT long tbh I think I'll be ok.... anyway. I got nicer seats for the flight there (they were a little extra but I've never flown before so I wanna see what's going on and I DON'T wanna be sandwiched between two people I don't know that would be so bad) and the bottom of the ladder ones for the flight back (but based on the layout they showed me they're still decent seats? still window seats and not on the VERY last row of the plane. just pretty close to the back.) anyway!!! I am a few hundred dollars poorer but I am GOING to see Lu in-person again!! and we're getting to spend like half a month togethe because it was cheaper than a shorter trip!!! I see this as a definite win!!! :D :D and also I did extra work at the beginning of the year specifically to make extra money to cover this trip so it's ok. it was all planned for and it worked out just fine. :) gurt says stuff
