let me do my shopping, i’m starting to get scared about the weather now lol

pleas don't

yeahh i did not bring my warmest puffer coat with me because i was hoping there wouldn’t be another long cold snap (fool!!) … time to thrift something to layer with!

coming here to check what this tiktok update is because my trust is thin, companies have been having absolutely shitty updates around ai & privacy terms :/

i miss reading danmei i miss qjj!! no time to read those chonks though 🥲 i may have to pivot back to drawing fanart for a lil bit?

these kids are wild why did i see some guy eating ice cream outside in feels like 0° temp. like bare handed holding an actual ice cream cone

oh damn i forgot unis will close for snowstorms? can i relive the joy of a snowday? it's been so long...

guys am i being flirted with? i'm scared

maybe house music is the friend i needed all along

i've been loving my winter capsule wardrobe! i think i want to do this permanently with each season? there's only 1 skirt i haven't been reaching before b/c it's crinkly & i'm in the library a lot & i'm the type of person who stops chewing popcorn during silent scenes at the movie theatre

i miss yapping at my old workplace & like 😢 knowing ppl?? give me my chill friendships of convenience!

so is spreenow gone for good? luckily my taobao items shipped already but i can’t access the site at all? 😨

i am playing the aldnoah zero ost. wish me luck, some of these tracks make me feral

i like how i changed my alias to allen and still called myself ashes. it was a very long lasting nickname, ok

can you believe we all used to print out mapquest for directions

“i should take more selfies. like good ones” The selfies:

y’know, landlord may just be chatty because i’m skittish, got sick two days after moving in so i was hacking & hermiting immediately (i never get sick and it happening right after a flight / being on campus wussified me even more)(i’ve also never had covid before) i think he cranked up the heat lol

back on my early bird shit, hell yeah (we can rise even earlier!!! next time) i love an empty morning kitchen 🥰

i'm actually very proud that i have no phone anxiety anymore. it's almost like doing something over & over again helps?

professor: sorry i can't make our very important meeting in person me: no... professor: but we can do it over zoom! no please i'm like a grandpa on zoom i missed the zoom bus i've only just conquered my phone anxiety, why are we leveling up

i sort of miss waking up super early even though i definitely don't need to anymore? may start doing it again for funsies.

landlord keeps wanting to bond & yap when i'm in the kitchen. sir i am only here for a couple months blease let me hermit in the bright expensive ass room that i'm renting.

i found a lxh blind box! 🥺🥺🥺 i love himmm

there’s an even bigger muji in harvard sq now? yippee i can walk there i’m in danger

it snowed so much. once upon a time i used to be excited about a good snow & want to find places to photograph but now i'm like, yeesh i have to commute in this?

god i wish i could watch lxh 2 again.

i miss chicago’s ethnic markets so much, i didn’t realize how attached i got to my local ones :( i was really getting into cooking! moving into a short rental with a sparse kitchen is rough… i want to cook but it’s a waste of $ to buy new appliances & stuff.

i've started doing the fabled Morning Pages. you're supposed to write whatever in a stream-of-conscious way for 3 pages soon after waking up (with pen & paper, no digital!) but i'm stingy so i aim for 1 - 2 pages.

hello i'm alive (now in grad school!) (i am drowning in readings!)

i'm far behind in cr4 but i have got to know what the fandom is doing with teor & wicander

did something happen on twt ......

absolutely begging uber drivers not to wear heavy cologne, the way i got an instant headache 💀 i hate ridesharing so much but sometimes it’s unavoidable!!

on the bright side lullaby of the dawn 6 is out & i want to read it!

christmas is so mediocre to me like it’d be great to build better traditions one day but for now? eeyuck

ubering with my cat & the driver isn’t playing any music so it’s just me and my yowling cat ☺️

i'm trying to finalize my 2026 planner ecosystem! i have my 5 year midori, kinbor weeks, tn passport, and a b6 life noble to track a hobby that i want to do for the whole year (hopefully!) that MIGHT be it? here's what i'll use each for:

grad school tuition is SO expensive i'm going to cry. which is a bigger waste of money, not finishing this degree or finishing it?? i better be more employable after this (joke's on me i know degrees are getting more useless, i'm doing this mostly out of principle)

i asked for clarification & this girl doubled down y'all. google search how do i respond to someone who says they have a crush on me when we exist in the same hobby community but we've only been mutuals for *checks watch* one week? also she's 11 years younger than me

oh my god I completely forgot about a workshop I signed up for today and it’s no refund 💀💀 I am a mess rip my disposable income

i gotta find some fandom & hobby friends here! i miss yapping

i missed day 1 of neopets advent calendar but don't worry guys, i remembered to do it today
