Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

More power to you. I've seen so many video clips with a sped up version of that t.A.T.u. song in the last month that I've grown to hate it. Tinnitus from it would be the last straw.

They did play that song once but it was a lot of mixing fanvids with actual music videos (since most of the fanvids on TikTok are short). Like”daddy’s home” to clips of Francois Arnaud.

Ah, that sounds much more enjoyable than I was imagining.

Am still very much regretting not wearing ear plugs though. Meant to, then remembered when I was most of the way there. Thought they might have some for sale at the venue but alas did not see any.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I saw that somewhere near me is having a Heated Rivalry trivia night (which is much more my speed than a dance party), but I don't remember where I saw it, and I think the date might have passed already.

I'm feeling anxious and I don't know why. There's nothing in particular that prompted it -- my brain just decided that today is the day to be on high alert. For something. Anxiety sucks. (I took my meds, and they're not helping much, but this isn't like emergency levels of anxiety or anything, just "Why can't my brain work right for once?" levels.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Today was a shit day. Not impressed, Monday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Quake!

4.6 and just south of me. That felt somehow substantial because the shaking kept going.

I do not have my mental reaction to earthquake magnitudes properly calibrated, but 4.6 sounds big-ish if close by. The ones that keep going for a while are unsettling, I know that. Hope it was not too unsettling in a literal sense!

It was unsettling. I grew up in this area (just to the north of where the San Andreas originates) but it was continuous in a creepy amount of time. Long quakes are scarier than short quakes.
