good things today:
while possessed, wandered into an ulta after my doctor appt today and bought new nail polishes for the first time in ~4 years: a pale/mannequin OPI pink to replace the bottle i broke; zoya river for me (it has a much stronger/more interesting color shift in person than in any of the swatches online imo, it gets almost purple; i was shocked to look it up and find out it’s not actually a subtle duochrome); & an OPI lavender creme polish for my roommate, who has decided he favors pastel cremes, which is great except i own like…. 3. MAYBE 3. 3 if we’re generous about “pastel”
i probably don’t have an upper respiratory infection
i’m really good at making fried fish actually
i had a long and elaborate and plot-heavy dream that was partly a weird stress dream except instead of foregrounding the stressful bits, it mainly focused on 1. me flirting with an imaginary person who was, in retrospect, kind of a dick 2. dream-me gently and patiently teaching my roommate to make pancakes, despite his tendency to add too much oil to the pan
“an incomprehensible constantly-mutating flashing polyhedron” is EXACTLY the appeal
also like, my life aspirations, as we know.
awww you’re very dear to me too, you collection of never-used grayblack sandpaper in the corner of an empty house, you
so rereading the last few days of my blog my ds9 liveblog ethos is i guess “only the sexy parts”
so like what if i’m “only trans” because i’m “somewhat attracted to men” and “being in a straight relationship/dynamic makes me want 2 die” and i’m therefore “probably necessarily coming at this backward” because you’re “not supposed to causally link your gender identity to your social and intimate-relationship positioning/what your sexuality is”
my dear doctor, they’re all true
even the lies?
especially the lies
anyway “i can’t believe i’m having lunch with a man who thinks the never-ending sacrifice is dull” jesus fucking christ flirt harder garak why don’t you
technically the math portion is also a reading test of sorts – you have to be careful about what they’re actually asking you to do (usually it is very simple)
that’s a good way of framing it, thanks
i think about half of my problem was basically that. i’m clearly out of the habit of the kinds of attention/meticulousness that this sort of test needs/not used to picking up on their favored ~key words~ or whatever about what’s been asked
the other half of the problem is that every time i reached a combinations question i just wrote “24C2 -> THERE’S A FORMULA FOR THIS PROBABLY” and then a lot of question marks, so i’m going to, uh……..look that up.
well i may be incapable of doing anything but lying on a couch while feeling fatigued, but i can still score in the 96th percentile on the verbal section of a standardized test
so is the kira-jadzia dialogue at the beginning of s2e20 supposed to be kira being irritated that jadzia turned down dinner with her to go out with a man and jadzia simultaneously mad that kira is ~~~narrow minded~~~ about who she goes out with [that is to say, heterosexual]
because. the subtext feels……very
