*halfway through planning & provisioning the construction of a piece of furniture*

Okay so wow I am eerily good at this.

Schematic? Rifle through a dozen in my head, find a good one, sketch it. Parcel out the order at the big-box hardware store. Considering my options for countersunk bolts.

Man can I just keep making weird wood framework furniture?

Jim Carrey To Play ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ Villain Robotnik

wow. that uh. is so far from correct I don't have words for it.

look a full-CGI adaptation of the Sat AM sonic cartoon, I'm there for.

some Roger the Rabbit shit, that goes in the deke bin with Matrix 2 & 3 and every Transformer movie. not canon.

The last 7 years I've felt like a nobody. If I want to tell a story where I'm the hero, I need to act like the hero of my story. Dress like one, behave like one, think like one.

If I just play the role well enough, it will become the truth. It's a small matter to enchant myself, and it's for a good cause :)

A life is a story. And a story can change course.

That reference to Archimedes' famous sentiment,

"Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth."

reflects my abiding sensation that it is my tools and the place I find myself that determine what I am truly capable of.

My spirit is boundless. I need only find the right place, and the right tools, to have an effect that will be felt long after I'm dead.

And so, I should set about finding good tools and a suitable vantage point.

Hence, the workbench ^..^

A lever and a place to stand, sweetheart.

Okay, I think I've got a design I like. I don't really have a good way to capture it right now, but I can always re-derive it from first principles if I need to.

Mmmm.... countersunk bolts, my old frenemy.

*builds a desk in her mind's eye, tears it down, builds another, and another...*

So I'm not great at actually envisioning stuff but apparently I rock the house at mental schematics.

Yeah building a worktable. Rifling through schematics in my head, trying to come up with a good design.

I'm learning the power of stories we tell ourselves, and the contexts that define us. Slumped in a desk chair before a laptop has been the backdrop to my doldrums.

I *desperately* need a change of scenery. So I'm building one. It's a fitting start.

Oh right! I have an emergency backup book.

It works!

Man it sure is fun being on Nova Scotia time.

using my deep knowledge of cat mannerisms that I learned growing up with 8 cats

I'm male presenting (ish) and usually I have girlfriends. but it's always a pleasure when I have a boyfriend because outing myself as queer in conversation becomes *so easy* :D

Dating an aro person, and exploring my own aro side, feels like sequence breaking. Jump past the whole swimmy emotional first 18 months of romance, go straight to the stable affectionate stage of having a partner.

*has some momentum, looking around for things to do*

*disassembles her broken box fan for disposal*

Had a Butch Moment. Makes me want a workbench.

Well shit I mean I know how to make one....

I like my tattoo because it's unique to me. It feels like marking this body and saying "this one's mine".

it's Soylent, but I don't really like advertising brands, also I just read arguably more Doom Patrol than is really healthy, so now it's just nutrient fluid.

Fuck google anyway jesus christ.
