My best friend (allegedly) that I shifted my entire life to move half way across the country with suddenly decided they didn’t want to be friends anymore and peaced out back to whence they came. There are plenty of failures and miscommunications on both sides of the fence, but at the end of day I’m now stuck alone in a new state with no money, no sense of community, a shit job, and nobody to share anything with. I’m confused as hell, tired as shit, and depressed as fuck with no idea what to do, but anyway here is my lame ass attempt to change all that by talking to strangers on the internet the way humans were evolutionarily designed to.
Soo, hello, I guess . . . not really sure what do now.
Ooh, I started watching Orphan Black the other day and I gotta wonder how they found so many actors that look alike, wait no that’s an old show.
Uhm, I really like anything related to space, astronomy, sci . . . (shush, people will think you touched the Tylenol)
What about this weather we’ve been having lately, something about a little ice and human rights? They keep talking about releasing some kind of files, but idk, they seem a little shy about the whole thing. (I know this lies a little out of the jurisdiction of ‘casual’, I’m just trying to fill the space with empty words at this point so my ghost of an english teacher grandmother doesn’t re-traumatize me from the grave like some kind of angry, judgemental harpy, or maybe I’m possibly just avoiding actually submitting the post at this point by typing a really ridiculously long run on sentence like a highschooler discovering chatGPT for the first time that I’m genuinely surprised your still reading with your one and/or two eyeholes, earballs, or fingers, like seriously I’m not saying anything useful or interesting anymore I’m just sitting typing away trying to think of something funny to say like maybe some kind of joke or something but I can’t think of any except maybe this one about a couple nuns riding bikes on the road to Rome)
Wait, actual question. I have celiac and cant eat the forbidden bread, any of yall have any good ideas for packable lunches that don’t include sandwiches or anything that has extreme refrigeration/ heating requirements? ADHD brain is running out of ideas and I have a sneaking suspicion that tuna packets make me look poor.
That’s totally a thing, right? Sometimes songs make me choke up because I’m not even used to emotions other than varying levels of annoyance and anger.
I do shitpost to add some interaction with others outside my immediate family to my life, but I have to admit it’s generally pretty hollow. I miss having folks I could relate to and do things with in person. I wouldn’t say I’m depressed. Having a wife and kids gives me some sort of baseline human interaction. But man do I miss tabletop RPGs and staring up at the night sky and philosophizing with a fellow nerd.
It’s kinda self-inflicted. I moved 800 miles for five years before coming back home. I didn’t make any friends there, really, other than one I tend to chat with on either of our birthdays. Then I came back home and all my friendships here had dissolved as well. It’s been ten years at this point since I’ve had a friend I saw more than annually.
I want to watch Alien: Earth and Peacemaker, but I haven’t. I mostly spent my time playing old video games for hundreds or thousands of hours.
I did watch Velocipastor last week with my daughter. It was fun for about 20 minutes and then I started staring at my watch waiting for it to be over. The ultra low budget and terrible acting gave way to utter nonsense writing. It was all clearly tongue in cheek but it was probably funnier to make than to watch. Might’ve been more fun with a bigger crowd and more focus on eating snacks and bullshitting than staring at the screen.
Anyway… cool, bye.
