Capitalist bootlickers be out there telling you to study shit to boost your ability to do your job, and here I am studying Lie Group and Algebras and how to use Prolog because I fucking want to, even though they're completely *useless* to me as a healthcare professional.

Miss me with that productivity bullshit. Me and my myriad of interests don't have time for that.

SILVER IS A PRECIOUS BOI AND I LOVE HIM.

That is all.

Nothing like a streamer saying "No one care about [Silver the Hedgehog]” immediately after I said "God, I love Silver" and unpaused the VoD I'm watching. :P

This is kinda related to previous feelings of WTFromanticism (AKA quoiromanticism). But, I'm pretty sure me being neurodivergent feeds into that stuff, so I think the nebula terms work better.

So, I've been struggling for a while with whether I'm pan or ace, whether I'm aro, etc. Thanks to r/lgballt, I think I have a decent set of labels: nebulasexual/nebularomantic! These are for ND folks who can't figure out if they're experiencing sexual/romantic attraction, which pretty much describes me perfectly. Still don't have answers to what I opened with, but at least I have a label to say that.

"Yeah, I really messed up that beautiful vocal performance by transitioning into really bad mouth saxophone."

:P

I had an appointment with Quest to get blood drawn, but apparently they decided they just didn't need to tell me that they had to close the location I had an appointment with due to AC troubles, sobI get there and WHOOPS! So, then I had to try to find the location they had on the door without a map. Thankfully, I found it (and admittedly, no map is on me), but oh, no. They're closed for lunch. So now I'm waiting for them to reopen.

:P

Ooh, a thing I forgot to mention about my time in Pokémon White yesterday! When I got to Accumula Town, I was *jammin'*! I literally pulled out my keyboard and started playing along. Then when I found the house with the musicians? Oh, that was fun. I fuckin' love that music. It's so good. Also, furrets.

And, yeah, that type advantage thing? I literally cleared a gym using a Pokémon that was 8 levels underlevel. By the end of it, it was only, like, 4 levels under. My only reasonably leveled Pokémon is my throh, which I only ever intended to use to clear out a normal type gym, but kept around. But, hey, my team has, like, full type coverage, so who cares if we're a bit weak, right?

Honestly, I actually referred to the way N keeps literally telling me how to stop him as "foreplay for the world's most elaborate S&M session". Like, it feels like he's kinda begging me to beat him like a naughty boy, which is unfortunate for him because I'm also a masochist. But, hey, it beating you in a Pokémon battle is what gets you off, so be it. I'll do it for you, boyfriend.

In case you're curious about what I've been up to, the Internet's been spotty lately, so I've been chilling and playing Pokémon White. It's pretty cool. I've had an underleveled team for most of the game and have survived on type advantages. Also, I keep referring to N as my boyfriend.

@ijyx As for the other two, if Arabic doesn't seem interesting to you right now, maybe just wait on that one, and I honestly don't think Esperanto is *that* worth learning. I mean, it's sorta nifty, but also kinda meh.

@ijyx I actually took Spanish in high school and later tried to learn Esperanto, and I'd honestly say knowing Spanish made Esperanto easier. Granted, this is from the perspective of Spanish being the first language (after my native English, ofc) I'd learned, and Esperanto being the second. At any rate, I'd say go for either Spanish (for its usefulness), Dutch (for actually being in the Netherlands), or French (for its interest to you and your previous knowledge)

Okay, I'm done. I've run out of daily notes to share fun and/or interesting stuff from.
