Controversial Opinions I Had When I Was A New Human:
Controversial opinions I had when I was a new human:
-Pronouncing Tulips “too-lips” is both an inaccurate descriptor and also strange and therefore the way I incorrectly pronounce it (toodle-ips) is much better
-climbing trees is not setting a bad example unless you’re bad at it
-chicken nuggets dipped in chocolate pudding is good
-there is no reason to straighten my covers when I have no guests
-top sheets are evil and also useless
-calling outer space and the gaps between words and a general expanse all “space” is confusing
-the fact that the sun is so huge and yet the earth makes a hard shadow on the moon is very weird
-baby it’s cold outside and I love rock and roll are both creepy songs

Odd things that have occurred around me:
> childhood neighbor with house full of dolls who may or may not have poisoned her husband to death got their house randomly cleaved in half by a fallen tree
> our black cat named midnight disappeared never to be found again on Halloween night
> our other cat lived longer than her body functioned and refused to go even after the first shot to put her down. She was 23.
> My mom left a traveling group early. The next day they all got in a crash. Most died, one was made paraplegic.
> Got rear-ended in a car-totaling crash that shoved us right between a light pole and a steep hill
> Told my cousin I didn’t believe in ghosts and was rewarded an hour later with a store cooler door swinging open as I passed it for no reason.
> Heard what sounded like radio chatter very quietly in my headphones on and off for a couple weeks
> Had a visceral, vivid dream that I got kidnapped, lived there for years with other kids, then the police and our families came but none of us wanted to leave because we felt it was home. I can still remember exactly what The Compound looked like, where I kept my things, my secret stash, my team, and the area we trained in. (I have had many vivid dreams but this one messed me up for days)
Top 3 most unfortunate things I have mixed up while not wearing my glasses:
-my contact solution w/ mom’s hydrogen peroxide contact cleaner
-orajel and wart remover
-my prescription ointment and travel toothpaste
Fellow headache havers/haters:
I have sinus headaches all the time- it’s allergies, it’s whatever.
What is not whatever is the time I went to pet sit for my cousin.
I stopped for lunch, got a blinding headache in the middle of it, scrambled to my car, drove to a store, found out it was closed, jogged a block to a store to see if they had painkillers, they did not, jogged back to my car, tried not to fall over, realized I locked my keys and phone in the car in a distant city, felt irrational dread that I couldn’t reset in real life, went to an antique store and asked to borrow their phone, called my mom, she couldn’t find my key, called for roadside assistance, they said they’d be an hour, mom calls back and found my key, I gotta call the company again to cancel the assistance, wait 20 minutes for my mom to show up. She was so frazzled she didn’t bring pain killers, I get into my car and realize I still haven’t cared for my cousins pet yet, I go take care of the pet and successfully don’t die, I drive all the way home and still haven’t died, then I finally take meds 2 hrs later and go to sleep.
…
Anyways is that normal?
Multiracial culture
Am I the only one who has a complicated relationship with culture? My family is very mixed, being at most around 30 percent of any given ethnicity.
It feels impossible to participate or integrate all of my family’s cultures at once, but it feels like I’m picking and choosing if I don’t.
It also feels like I don’t quite fit in with any one cultural group, but I grew up with enough of multiple that I feel intrinsically linked…
Anyone else? Thoughts?

Huge fan of the face I caught this duck making
Most insane things I’ve seen while on the road:
- mattress on the highway got ran over by a semi. It went under, the semi waddled, the mattress bunched up, then ejected out the other end like a frog. No one was injured.
- “saw” (heard) a boom as a car passed us on a two way. Looking behind, the car was sideways and smoking. We were not hit and did not hit. We assumed a tire blew or something.
- 3 separate 2 car accidents on the same stretch of highway, separated by like a mile each
- Like 17 broken apart black baby dolls on the road. All different brands and not even slightly in one piece?? I have so many questions????
- A deer ran into us. Into the side of our car.
- A gas price that started with a $1.
- A car with red headlights. Or maybe flipped rear and front lights. Or maybe it was somehow driving backwards on the highway…
- A dude on a bicycle that was also a light-up unicorn. It reminded me of that scene in merry poppies with the carousel race.
Sketch of thoughts I had at work today
My brain briefly convinced me I saw smth (I saw incorrectly) and I have still not recovered the 10 yrs it stole from me 💀
