Random Thoughts of the Day

... or twilight, I mean the sun isn't up yet and its in the AM as I'm forming these thoughts.  Yep.


-I didn't know what "YOLO" meant until last Sunday, I feel semi-enlightened but honestly disappointed, it seems dumb to capitalize on "only living once so I can do dumb shit", as it essentially supports that; maybe I'm just anti-fun when I'm single, or maybe I don't care to be reminded of my morality, your pick

-I miss Grape Fanta (or other brands of the soda flavor); *sigh*  it's probably my favorite just because I can't have it everyday (though if I could, I'd be tempted)

-I feel somewhat awkward when people talk about like chain restaurants I never heard of like it should be common knowledge to the entire planet; just reminds me of how isolated I usually am .-.; like, Chipotle sounds nice, I like spicy things and chili peppers but what the heck do they even serve besides I presume latin/hispanic cuisines?  is that even what they offer?  UGH!

-sometimes I'm happy after eating a meatless salad; but often I miss it;  oh I do mean the red meats of course, since those are what I prefer to have sparingly... though I worry about possibly stressing any vegetarian friends if they're truly opposed to my eating land animal meat (not giving up fish for anyone, nope, never)

-will I ever find employment?  gainful employment that I don't mind sticking with?  staying tied to one thing (strictly metaphorically)  can be difficult for me; that and well, Idk, I think some employers in retail have ass-backwards priorities when scouting for workers; I would really like to be proven wrong on that someday

-it's not just the alcohol content (and assorted health issues exacerbated by its consumption) that turns me off cocktails and whatnot, its the flavors, textures of mixed drinks and honestly just not being inhibited that I can't physically nor mentally bring myself to appreciating (just want to be clear on that... if I need to tell someone ever)

-I think if I had to break it down, I'm uh, predominantly homosexual, genderqueer (to be specific I usually feel I lack a particular gender identity when breaking down my habits and mannerisms, but I don't consider myself lacking a gender either, its hard because its more of a social thing than something I can just clarify myself), also demisexual and panromantic (those I can attest to)

-why can't people just be green and purple, then mate to have wicked (i.e. cool) striped skin babies?  and save us from all the racial issues the world thinks it has

-I don't really feel "white" most of the time, if that makes sense, but I don't feel like any ethnicity in particular either, I'm not sure why that is or if I should be concerned about it

*yawn*  welp, starting to feel sleepy now; at least some good is coming from my silly ranting, lol, may just cure insomnia yet!

Holiday Update

Eh, why not?  So, Happy Easter to whoever reads this (all 5 of you?), especially you, B, hope Hong Kong is being nice to you *pinches cheek*, lolol.

I tend to skip get-togethers on holidays not named Christmas and Thanksgiving, mainly because...

1).  If there's more than 7 people other than myself present, I feel modestly overwhelmed.  (Fact:  I tend to be 30% more likely to do things, period, if left entirely by myself, including socializing, i.e. the internet.)

2).  Pets, especially dogs and birds (pretty much anything that makes noise frequently) can really grate on me and I hate when non-humanoids invade my personal space.

3). At MOST holiday gatherings in East-Central PA, the food is so BORING.  Well really because White European food itself bores me to tears.  That and well, here's the general things offered, as an example:
-Ham (which I nearly never eat in any form excluding bacon at times)
-Broccoli covered in a crappy bacon dressing (except this "bacon", eww)
-Sweet potatoes (never eat them, I never liked the taste)
-Fruit salad (blegh, no)
-chocolate cake (I don't eat chocolate cake, as one may know, I prefer carrot)
-marshmallow peeps (I dun eat marshmallow either)

leaving me...
-corn on the cob
-some type of stuffing that appears to have potatoes mixed in (*commences eye-rolling*)
-white cake (...eh)

I can't eat the broccoli salad thing because of that dressing so like... all I'm getting is carbs and a starchy vegetable.  Also, ham on Easter?  Why not steak or duck or something other than HAM which you always make on Christmas anyway if you're of my family ethnicity?  Augh.

Generally if I ever get in a committed relationship, I will seriously assert my preferences regarding something other than boring meat and fattening sides and boring as all get-out vegetables at my holiday meals.  How am I supposed to come out of my shell with anyone if the food offers nothing I can't get at a diner in Jersey?  (which some places thereat are scads better)

My "ideal" holiday menu would probably be more likely to feature:
-some variety of freshwater fish
-some variety of seafood
-an assortment of rice and pasta options
-some game meat (turkey, vension, goose, as examples) as the main protein
-at least two vegan/vegetarian entrees
-assorted sides/appetizers of salads, fried offerings, and quite possibly tacos

meaning that the biggest rules if you attend my residence on a holiday, BYOB and BYOD (bring your own booze--I don't drink, and bring your own dessert, I don't bake and all you'd likely find would be mints and tic tacs, frankly); lest whoever I end up with happens to be either a pastry chef or a wine connoisseur, then one of those conditions may verily vanish

Uh, how am I otherwise, you ask?  (since this supposed to be an update, apparently)  Egh, more or less the same.  Still single (not that that ever matters, I mean, some people want to have sex with consenting couples which just bugs me on a personal level) and nothing much goes on with me.  Besides the mediocre food that begs the question why I'm even overweight, since most stuff I get I would rather return, lol.  I suppose that will have to suffice, internet.
