I have this thing where I can really only get into a show if it's concluded or long-cancelled. I can't get into a show currently running, knowing it could be ripped out from under me at any time.
That being said, I think it's finally time to start watching What We Do in the Shadows.

A high school math teacher taught us a trick where if you sing the quadratic formula to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", you won't forget it.
20 years later and I can say it's true, but what's NOT true is that she said I would be using the fucking quadratic formula in my adult life. WHERE?!

I just got a spam/scam email saying someone's gonna leak my nudes if I don't pay them money.
Meanwhile, I not long ago posted a picture of me getting my ass ate. I am not scared of you. Like, at all.

I decided to take a page from the book of @jasesims.bsky.social and challenge myself to create an uber-twink in #TheSims4 for the first time. How am I doing so far? 🤣

If someone were to ask me if I currently had beef with a fictional animated anthropomorphic monkey child from a TV show I watched as a kid, my answer would be, "Abso-fucking-lutely!"
Because believe me, it's on sight with this bitch.

One of the Sims I lost when I accidentally deleted my Forever World was Timi Vaai. He's back! I think I recaptured his vibe pretty well, but with some subtle differences. I think I made him look a little cuddlier.

As someone with mental illness, there's nothing that pisses me off more than the word "just". Don't you dare fucking say that word to me.
JUST exercise. JUST be positive. JUST don't think about it.
I will JUST kick your ass. Don't play with me.

I really wish Microsoft would stop hounding me to upgrade to Windows 11. I do not want Windows 11. Bitch, I didn't even want Windows 10.
Leave me alone.

I'm not even gonna lie. I cried over this. But I've grieved and now it's time to rebuild, redecorate, and re-CAS! I'm taking this as an opportunity to make things even better than before...and an opportunity to remind my stupid ass to make backups of EVERYTHING.

I just experienced my worst nightmare. I accidentally deleted the save that houses my Forever World.
I have a backup, but it's almost 2 months old. So, that means almost 2 months of building, decorating, and CAS'ing are just...gone.
I'm crushed, but I'm rebuilding. 😞

This is me ranking each of The Jacksons in their Victory album photoshoot.
Forgive me and forgive my...random voice. No one asked for this, but I don't care. Indulge me. I'm unemployed and bored. 🤣
Also! The song in the background is one I made!
