Japan voted against it, too.

How is this real??

@bunnylyn

To be fair, in 2007 my friends told me, "oh, don't go to 4chan" and I simply listened to them. No regrets, honestly.

@bunnylyn

okay I did have to look these up but I swear I'm old too.

@mawr Looks awesome!!

Also: that's one mysterious, haunted-ass staircase y'got!

@mawr

I think talking to her about it will initially cause her to feel guilty and uncomfortable, but I think it's important that she hear it from somebody. For the sake of my feelings, and also because this seems to be happening in her other friendships, and no one else is talking to her about it.

@mawr

Yeah, that makes sense. It'll probably be more effective than me just not talking to her for a while, which honestly seems to be what happens with her and some of her other friends (she'll worry she's offended them, but instead of saying something they just avoid her for a month or two).

I honestly think she doesn't realize when she's said something that hurts; we both make a fair amount of self-deprecating humor, and she may not realize when a subject is upsetting for me.

What do you do when a longtime friend makes jokes at your expense about topics that actually really hurt your feelings, but friend might not know they do? What do you do when said friend tends to shut down if confronted?

So much this! ✨

I've been too worried about turning 26 to realize I'm turning 26.

Psssst my birthday is soon! October 8, which is coincidentally Octopus Day. :D

@ThatDamnCat

They've been really supportive these past few months for other things, emotional stuff and moving logistics. But they aren't great to discuss anything stressful with. I have to be really explicit if all I want from them is support.

My Internet friends have been so supportive and I'm really grateful. I cherish the time with my IRL friends, but everyone's so busy.

It was great to meet you, too. I'm glad we made that happen.

@mawr <3 *hug* Thank you. I hopefully won't have to deal with it for too long, but I can't afford to move out yet.

@ThatDamnCat

Thank you. <3

It's odd. My dad thinks I'm strong, and therefore I should try harder, why am I so worried?

My mom thinks I'm weak, and it's understandable for me to be worried. She gives me more to worry about.

Neither of them are helping.

It's impossible to talk to my parents about the things that worry me, because my dad attacks me for not trying harder, and my mom brings up *more* things I should be worried about & that she thinks I can't handle.

Hi my name is Sparrow and I am excessively worried.

In other news, someone wrote a children's book about me.

@fillertrack Night-o!

Okay I'm going to bed because I need to get up early tomorrow, but as a summary:

* I'm on my way to being health insured and Holy Heck that's good

* The Twin Peaks waitress dress is adorable and is a great Halloween costume idea

* Coffee and pie are a great combination

* PLEASE POST PICTURES OF KITTIES DRESSED UP AS PIE THANKS

Night y'all.
