Aura @aura@computerfairi.es

Intro post! I'm Aura. I'm living in Brighton, UK. I work as a software engineer for a large company you've definitely heard of. I spent a number of years in Japan, and I'm still attempting to learn Japanese. I'm also a PhD in physics, but you wouldn't know that to talk to me.

This account is really about me expressing myself as someone finally coming to terms with their identity, but don't worry! That probably just means I'll be posting cute stuff. Light and airy.

After cleaning my nails off with isopropyl alcohol wipes I am now a fan of acetone.

All the fireworks have put the wind up the mouse in the ceiling so at least I'm not alone in having too much energy tonight.

He will definitely not be up for clothes shopping with me, but I’m also definitely going to make him think he has to. I need someone to bounce ideas off of. Honestly, he's lucky he caught that cold.

I had arranged to meet a friend over a drink today, and I was going to tell him about me! My first time telling anyone who knows me in person… Unfortunately he caught a cold and had to rain check, and now I'm full of all this nervous energy. No way I'm sleeping tonight. I bet there's nothing on TV either.

Why have I defaulted to purple goth? This wasn't the plan.

I know I’m new, you see. I’ll put up a little page and do the `rel="me"` thing to build some trust. I’m not sure actually what to put on it though. It can’t just be coffee and colourful corvids…

Just as I bought myself a domain name, life (good stuff) distracted me. I’ll probably just put a single about page on it tomorrow.

I had to hold the glass in front of the WiFi password 😅

The Botanist is a cute little cafe near Brighton station at the top of North Laine. It’s full of plants (the clue is in the name) and makes a mean coffee.

I’ll have to find some more people to add to my feed this weekend. 🤔

Today I saw a splendid jay. I think this is probably the closest I've ever gotten to one.

Ok so I promise my hands are much prettier in person.

My wife painted my nails. I did not expect it to feel weird. It's like I've stopped breathing through my fingertips. Does anyone else get that? They're black because that's easy and everyone will think it’s a halloween thing. Photo maybe later.
