Yea I Feel Like Nai Is In It For The Drama And Stubbornness, No Matter How Long. Like Is It Just Me Or

So does like… cps not exist in dp?

Cause like.

…

As someone who grew up with the threat of cps. I feel like a mandated reporter ought to have had smth to mandatorially report. Even if they didn’t know about Danny’s alter ego.

Also the fentons are totally fake scientists who know nothing about the scientific process or how to properly form theories and experiments.

Western WA things from a long term resident:

Cause eastern wa is basically a different state

… note that while I have lived here for over a decade I’m just talking my experience

——————

> people who live in the more rural areas find it real strange when there’s continuous smog. Like fog happens all the time but usually that brown haze obscuring the mountains doesn’t last long bc the rain deletes it.

> some people love Seattle and some people hate what Seattle currently is and will rant about it

> The sand is typically relatively coarse and greyish. I went somewhere with kids-picture-tan sand recently and was surprised that that actually exists. Softer sand is usually only in the actual water in areas with more clay.

> We really don’t use umbrellas often, and it’s not so much stubbornness as it is that hoodies exist and no one really walks long distances unless they’re in a city center. There aren’t sidewalks, so you only have to deal with the rain between your transport and the door of your destination.

> if you plant mint, berries, bamboo, or blow dandelions, you are dedicating yourself to having it for life

> ppl are often very careful about food crumbs or they have ants. Sometimes both.

> there are rabbits, deer, raccoons, coyotes, and opossums. You’re gonna see or hear a lot of them, some more alive than others

> people say bag like flag/had/amp. It’s strange and unusual to hear someone say “bayg” but some people do.

> older adults and some of their kids will add an unnecessary “s” to the names of places and I don’t know why (Haggens, safeways, bartells)

> some of those same adults say “worshington” and the rest of us consider them instant enemies.

> during like 2/3 of the year there are bees everywhere. There is gonna be a dumb black jack in your house. It seems like a hive lives in every coffee stand. Wasps have taken up residence by your shed.

> speaking of coffee stands it’s unbelievable leaving Washington and not having coffee stands/shops/bars everywhere. Also where is the lotus?

> Every group of adults u join are gonna have some constant plaid wearers. That’s just the way it is.

> snow plows don’t go everywhere. This isn’t Chicago. We do not prepare. The plows get the arterials and highways and that’s about it unless ur somewhere real fancy.

> you can find clay like… everywhere if you know what it looks like.

> trying to look something up in your state and the results bringing up wa dc is infuriating

> people can get very excited when it’s clear enough to see rainier. For real though you can see rainier, the Olympics, and the cascades from the highway in many places

Sound effects of a semiverbal and what I do them for:

For fun:

-hnarglebarg

-heedlyhoodly

-sneepsnop

-weyll flip my flapjacks!

-keskeh keskeh keskeseh

-binglebongledingledongleswingleswongle fo-fingle-fo-fongle

-kekekekekkekeekkekeke

Calling someones attention to something or to my presence:

-heehoo

-eh!

-hm!

-ezqueedly me

Expression of discomfort:

-mmmMMMM 😡

-*big sigh of chest hurts from anxiety*

-*narrating everything I’m doing with lots of “um” and “ok, uh,” etc*

-*musical fake laughter*

-I contain multitudes

-what’s your favorite day of the month?

Sounds of “I want something from you” usually accompanied by gestures:

-M!

-N!

-Eh!

-*name of person said dramatically*

Notes: I am not a child I just struggle with word finding and formulating my thoughts, especially when I’m struggling with my senses.

Most of the people I spend a significant amount of time with start using some of my stims and odd forms of communication. I often don’t need to do anything other than hum the correct intonation of a phrase to get my point across.

If you don’t know why I would say random things when stressed, its a combo of when I was figuring out (and making fun of) small talk combined with “I need something to leave my body and rn it’s gonna be words”

… if you go back in time does that negate your current age? Like if u are ten, go back a hundred years, are you ten, zero, or negative ninety?

Every day I find new ways in which to be disturbed

Imagine my confusion and disgust when, during a 2AM awakening from insomnia, I find a golf-ball-sized mass of s o m e t h i n g in my bed.

It’s half soft and half tacky and overall a very squishy and concerning organic shape.

It is my pain patch, which came off and balled up sometime in the night

Reminder that executive function/ task paralysis isn’t force-of-will-able for the most part

Can you force your brain to think of a word on the tip of your tongue? Can you snap your fingers and recall the exact appearance of your first article of clothing? Can you tell the oxygen in your lungs where to go?

Who has complete control of their brain, their body, and the chemicals within? Not me.

New Zelda Game Thoughts

So. I think that having an actual Zelda-player zelda game is cool. But… am I the only one who feels a little… put out? That it’s such a cutesy style? Like don’t get me wrong, I love cute stuff. But for the first and only Zelda based game, I kinda hoped they would have gone for something that gives Zelda a little more credit.

It feels almost like it’s making fun of her abilities, in a way. Like if she’s going to be the main player, it can’t be serious.

I’m sure that’s not what they meant, and it’s fun to see how excited everyone is. I just…

Ode to my week

Yesterday I bought some fruit

I pulled some plants up by the root

The day before I washed my clothes

And ruined the entire load

My ancient shelf fell off the wall

It launched my file box with its fall

And took my yarn and picture frame

The glass has broken, not my games

I need to do some gardening

My knees say that’s not happening

But still I got to pet my cat

And give her a cute little hat

My job does not appreciate

My physical restrictive trait

There’s so much paperwork of late

It’s something that my doctor hates

Today I tried to drink root beer

It fell and my whole room is smeared

I swear hekkin everywhere

My outlet, art book, printer, chair

This week is a chaotic mess

There’s been some good I must confess

I’m still sending an SOS

Ridiculous- just let me rest

Odd things I found at the beach today:

-ancient alarm clock

-couch

-microwave

-vertebrae

-red… button? Key?

-front door rug

Random stuff ppl moving to WA might wanna know (that I don’t hear ppl talk abt):

-if u live near a small river u will occasionally experience routine log-removal traffic

-Seattle gets visited by a pirate ship each year

-woods that are not connected to a park have a 70% chance of being overran by brambles

-the main natural disaster in western wa is trees. I am only kinda joking.

- school may close due to bear.

-most of our stuff isn’t built for extreme temps. Ice storms and heatwaves above like 105 tend to cause structural and travel issues.

-roadkill is kinda just an ever present background noise

-Umbrellas are used… but only for full-on storms. They’re kinda just a hassle when u only use them from the car to the building. So unless it’s gonna soak you in 30 seconds…

-people often either quite like or straight up hate Seattle

-Lots of trails, few sidewalks

-Historical references that ppl outside of WA might not know of: Oso, the Grand Coulee Dam, The Equator shipwreck, Marysville Pilchuck High School, the Denny regrade houses
