    I tried using earplugs for sleep once about 20 years ago (god I feel old now) and they irritated my ears so I couldn't sleep with them in. Tried them again over the weekend and got used to them in just a few minutes, slept deeper than I have in forever. No more noise from the fridge, furnace, cats, etc. As a bonus my alarm still woke me up this morning.

    After a funeral I went to go spend a few days with my fiance and started the process of making his room Festive
    I got referred to as my godmother's friend by her for the first time at a party!~ (usually I'm introduced as a daughter but the person she was introducing hadn't met my parents yet so that wasn't an anchor)
    I went and saw Moana with my sister and two of my friends and then hung out and watched true crime shows and napped until it was time for the second friend to leave.

    I did a platonic hangout with a person i met on tinder and it went super well! we had gyros and then spent like two hours chatting about random stuff in a book store, and i managed to get the last christmas present i needed for the holidays!! Still probably going to get a few more because I want to make sure my sister's girlfriends feel welcomed into this family damnit, they need presents too

  10. ... why did you do a platonic thing with someone you met on tinder, I don't understand.

    1: A customer called me "young man" at work today, despite my Obviously Femme voice!

    2: Amidst tumblr's current wave of bullshittery, I find on my dash the head designer for a major game company holding the line and definitively stating "this character is agender and has always been agender since the first days of their creation, even if we didn't know the words for it in the late 90s, please don't call them 'him'."

    Because my parents moved a year ago and I know literally no one here and am away from any other people my age for a whole month, I just want to have a social interaction with a nonfamily plz
    (And also because I did not have enough free time this day to have a nonplatonic interaction)

    Karn from Magic: the Gathering!
    The reason they're the one who gets all the kerfluffle is that our other visible nb characters (off the top of my head: Ashiok and Yahenni... and an entire race who default to agender) were made once WotC actually knew what nb identities were. Karn was created for an old, old storyline, and in the supplementary story materials was referred to as "he". In-universe... well, Karn's background had a bunch of skeevy shit going on, and while I'd call bullshit on "there were no other enbies on the whole plane" I'd definitely believe "they've never met another enby and don't have words for their identity." (And they canonically have hella boundary issues, so even if they are getting hella misgendered because Literally Sculpted Ideal AMAB Body they... would not be inclined to correct anyone.)

    The guy who's currently head game designer (card design) was head of the creative team (story and character design) for the set Karn first appeared in, and Karn was almost entirely his creation. If he says "Karn is agender and has better things to do with their time than patiently explain nonbinary identities to everyone who uses masc pronouns for them," hell yes I'll take it as canon.

    No problem! I didn't percieve it as rude, sorry if my reply came off as brusque, I was going for being humorous cx. It's a legit question, not many people turn to on-phone strangers for platonic social interaction :P

    i want to see some art/fic/tv/whatever where it is not the beverage kind of coke. i feel like that could be hilarious.

    (i am terrible, my brain just handed me Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. which i will 100% admit is based entirely off absolutely awful stereotypes and i don't for a second actually think either of them is into drugs. but it would be fucking hilarious. especially if Martha brought the pizza and coke and Snoop Dogg brought the cookies.)
