Fell asleep long before I meant to last night, but I finally got through the payment processor this morning so woohoo!

Name change is on it's way! :D

I finally have everything sorted, documents scanned and prepped, names picked, and money in hand

Payment processor has been down all night and if I want a physical paper form I have to call the Tasmanian BD&M directly T^T

At least I'll get marker stuff signed on Friday...

I suppose it's *a step* but god yeah

Those, and the ones who only use your full name instead of old nicknames, always annoyed me
It's like, you've been given the correct information, so why you gotta actively go outta your way to be wrong now

Made myself sad thinking about random stuff again
Oh well. Best to go lay down and hold my pillows and plushies tightly until I fall asleep

Be safe, and I hope everyone has a good day/night out there 💕

I really hate to ask, I know I'm hardly what one might call a big name in the community, but rent and bills are looming and my new job doesn't start until the beginning of next month. if there's anyone who could lend a hand... it would be incredibly appreciated. gofund.me/f26da2abc

I will clarify, someone asked to join me on my trip in to town, only to be glued to their phone the whole time ignoring everything going on

Also phone is fine, just had a bit of a fall from sitting on my chest

Can't help but feel like I must be really boring to hang out with sometimes, but oh well 🤷‍♀️

Picked up a music box to feel better because I like music boxes and think I should start collecting them again

Oi! Be kinder to yourself ya silly goose :p

It's up to them to decide what they want for themselves, not on you to fret about the what-ifs

and hey, what's the worst that can happen from reaching out besides continuing to not hear from them again?

there's always going to be moments of melancholic reflection, and grief, over lost friendships like that

can't be too hard on yourself though, especially when you've left the metaphorical door open for them if they ever want your company again

Thats gonna be interesting
I do wonder if they'll still restrict it to US citizens only, like venmo, or if any worldwide paypal account will be able to

the great dilemma

After an ostensibly good day in town, I am definitely more keen to try make some more local friends and acquaintances
Who'd've guessed being a social irl would have such a positive impact 😅

I do hope it had a nice day too

Anyway, time to crash for the night
Goodnight all 💕
