@erinbee Gross but brilliant

@erinbee Isn't it? I'm really really lucky to have moved here. :3

@Ratttz oooh smart thinking

@severuscold

Pretty much! Though the pool at our apartment does overflow a little.

@severuscold

It really is! I can just go for a nice walk or jog by the water and calm down.

It doesn't get too bad. The town is very hilly so most of it (my place included) is at a safe elevation.

I live a few blocks from the water myself, but it's just a few blocks.

I mean, gosh.

(Staircase because I like it)

@severuscold

It's a Delta that leads to the Pacific ocean, but yes!

I still can't really believe this is where I live.

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social

Same same!

My roommate and I host game nights & DnD from our apartment every other week, but that's about as "social" as I get normally.

My town is definitely *not* lacking for adorable small businesses.

I just walked town, bought the newer paper girls from the comic book store (whose owners I jog with on Sundays), a present for my mom from the bookstore my roommate works at, and a coffee from one of the several small bakeries downtown.

I did a social initiation!

By which I invited my friends to go see black panther with me.

No one's replied yet, but it's more the fact that I did it at all that I'm proud of. :D

The salad I made last night was with spinach, brussels sprouts, broccoli, broccoli slaw (sliced up carrots & broccoli stems), & avocado, so it held up pretty well as leftovers. Just had some now and it was really good!

@guerrillarain@witches.town @raccoon

Sara, are you still interested in learning lockpicking? Maybe you two can chat. :3

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social

Oops, I'm so sorry!

Uhhh tl;dr: Yeah don't watch that show if that's an issue for you.

Wait that *wasn't* Zooey Deschanel in Pushing Daisies? Dango.

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social

Ah, that's fair. The show does have silly montages with the main character prepping people's brains in various fun recipes so they're tastier for her. It's silly, but if people-eating isn't your thing, that won't work.

Hmmmm... Last really "fun and colorful and slightly weird" show I remember liking was Pushing Daisies. It's very twee though, so idk if that's your thing.

@dani

That's totally fair. And in all honesty I'd rather date someone who was demi ANYWAY, so worrying about being attractive to people who prioritize physical appearance shouldn't be a goal of mine.... but I still get stuck on it from time to time.

It's the whole "cultural beauty norms are silly, but advertising sure is effective, isn't it?"

But you're absolutely right. And just now even strangers on masto have told me I'm cute, which is amazing and unexpected.

@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social

Haha, it's all good. :P

I'd *also* recommend Dark on Netflix for the same parallel universe/80s nostalgia, *but* it's even (pardon the pun) darker than Stranger Things.

I'll keep thinking.

@nuhn@tootplanet.space Oh gosh, thank you! <3 You're incredibly sweet!
