Not much going on here now, I did some grocery shopping and cleaning up, swam some laps, wrote out my electric bill check, etc. Would like to get together with L. but they're busy. Looking forward to going to the pub with my new skeptics group tomorrow night.

Today I turned 36, woohoo! I know I'm getting old because sometimes I forget what I'm talking about in the middle of a conversation LOL. Both Ryan/Jo and dad got me the same cat card from Barnes and Noble haha! I got two gift cards too, so I'll have fun buying lots of books there. :P Vicki and her boyfriend Sam came over in the afternoon, their first time going to my parents' house and meeting Ryan and Jo! Curti was a little overwhelmed by her loud voice, but still walked over to her. I'm glad he doesn't hide when he sees strangers. We went to Chena's Alaskan Grill for dinner, my traditional birthday restaurant spot, which was super fun! Vicki is so much fun to hang out with! After good food and conversation we went back to my parents' house and had cupcakes and ice cream, yum! Vicki got me a game called Exploding Cats, which I'd seen before but never played..we'll have to play it together sometime! I'll miss working with her, but I'm glad to be great friends with her too!

( some pics from the night! )

Mom's birthday is next week, so it'll be my turn taking her to dinner, yay! I can't believe she'll be 70 O_o

7. What adventure do you want to go on? I want to brave the Drake Passage and sail to Antarctica and see the sights!

8. If you owned a store, what would you sell? Books, obviously :P

Went to Haight St earlier today. I had pumpkin pancakes for breakfast at Kate's and walked around looking at bookstores and other cool stuff and mostly had a good time but I never want to hear that thunder only happens when it's raining song by Fleetwood Mac again. I heard it four times in one hour. That's enough and they can't even pronounce "washes" right!

Ten more chapters to go. I'm so damn excited. I'm about to write my first book, then series. Ahhh, so exciting.

Wrote ten more chapter outlines plus two interludes. I need to write the first interlude which should be texts between characters. I have 5 more chapters to go. We're at the climax of book 1. Then I need to actually write the rough draft and everything. I'm fucking excited, I can hardly believe it. I can pants fanfiction, but I cannot pants original ideas. I need to world build and such.

Luxaren Allure is the name of the femslash jrpg styled game I was playing. Worth playing, it makes me wants to write and make a game myself. I might when I can afford a better laptop.

EDIT;
My outline is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just need one more interlude, I'll add it in a few or not add it at all. I'll figure it out. This is an amazing feat. I'm so proud of me.

Instead of writing fanfic, I ended up writing a ten chapter outline for my book. I need to write another fifteen chapters. I'm stopping at chapter 25. Then I'll have at least six other books to write afterward. Eitherway I feel accomplished and should really get some sleep. :D No seriously, sleep would be good for me but I'm going to write another five chapters.

I can't wait to get this eliptical so I have an excuse to get up in my chair more often. I need a good bath. Argh.

And I played a video game for the first time in a long time, a femslash one called something important. I forget. Just know it's really good. The only line that's annoyed me so far is 'I'm not a princess.' Like it makes no sense to the situation to say it. lol It's okay to be a princess or prince type. long as you aren't bratty in a bad way.

Anyway, five more chapters. Then I can start on my rough draft in a few days or save it for the challenge I wanted to do. And it's daylight. Okay, I'm happy. See you guys later.

I spent four years not writing. Now suddenly I'm back into writing and I am very rusty. So, in order to get this challenge off the ground: I'm returning to writing fanfiction and original story shorts so I can get back into my emotive writing. I miss how well things used to flow before. How well written I was. I had a writing habit that's hard to get back into again.

I made a community specifically for my fanfics

scwritesfic

My fandoms include: sailormoon
supernatural
buffy the vampire slayer
final fantasy viii
final fantasy vii
final fantasy tactics
final fantasy x and x-2
final fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XV
Silent Hill
Resident Evil (Games and Films)
The Vampire Diaries (Books and Television Series)
The Twilight Saga (I'm Pro Jacob/Bella)
Mr. Robot
Until Dawn
J-Squared (J2)
Lisa Frankenstein(2025)
Riverdale
X-Men (Film Franchise)
Naruto
Fatal Frame (Likely Rei and Kei fanfics. also the twins, Miu and Mayu)
Stephen King Universe (Likely IT and a few others)

And that's it. I'm not very pop cultured, because I don't know anything recently besides Lisa Frankenstein. If you're interested in following my community, then please do so. I will also be taking requests in the near future. <3

I'll update around 1 or 2 in the morning with writing I've gotten done today.

( more personal mumbo jumbo )

I made a mistake the other day, the skeptics in the pub thing isn't today, it's Tuesday. In the meantime the band schedule for the North Beach festival has still not been announced and that's next week.

1. What’s going to be special about this weekend? My birthday's on Sunday! Vicki and her boyfriend Sam are coming over to my parents' house and going to dinner with us! Both of us are very excited lol
2. When did you last order the special when dining out? Hmmm..not sure, it's been awhile..
3. What’s especially memorable about this past week? Mom came home from Florida, yay! (Funny how this Friday five is asking things I already wanted to talk about haha.) She said grandpa gets tired easy, like he can only mow part of his lawn at a time, but considering he's 91 it's impressive he can do it at all lol
4. When did you last consult with a specialist of some kind? Maybe a couple months ago? Time goes by so fast it can all blur together lol
5. What have you done recently to make someone else feel special? I told Vicki the last two years with her as manager has been some of the best times I've ever had working at the bookstore. Tomorrow's her last day (*sniff*), but she'll stop in to buy books and we definitely want to stay close friends!

Since Sunday's my birthday, we had milkshakes at our staff meeting at work to celebrate! I love that they do things like that for people's birthdays. One of the other bookstore staff members resigned this week (the job was too physical for her), so it'll just be me and Bill next week until they hire new people (Lucie or Shelby will probably come to check on us too). We will be strong and keep things running!

This weekend, an "anomalously cold airmass" is supposed to come and it could get in the 30s!! Ummm..Alaska, it's June?? Luckily by next week it'll be in the 60s and 70s again (I love that the word they used to describe the cold front is "anomalously"..hard to say, but still cool haha)

Sleepy Curti is so cute!!

I mostly post about: My journal is very new, i think I decided to make it because I was feeling a bit low and just wanted to write about my feelings and interests and hopefully find like-minded people. I'm also trying to make my web experience a more pleasant one, so I like looking at journals and personal websites. Indie web, small web, that kind of thing I yearn for so I might share things I find! But so far, I like to yap about my daily life and my practice in fighting games. I just started a fight log so I can hopefully more clearly see my progress! I will probably generally just talk about other things like anime, video games and maybe I'll post art or photos taken on my digicam. Also I'm queer and figuring things out still lmao

My hobbies are: Currently I'm focused in on fighting games (granblue rising, but I'm also a street fighter and guilty gear enjoyer), working on my art, vtubing, crochet and the smallest smattering of baby guitar when I can find time after all that. Other interests that can come back into my rotation is language study (Japanese and Spanish), miniature painting, nail art, weightlifting, snorkeling (I dream of scuba/free diving tho!)

My fandoms are:I'm not deep in any fandom at the moment but I enjoy content from sailor moon, granblue, guilty gear, general DnD stuff, hololive, vshojo and arcane. I'm also a huge Lady Gaga fan. And a lover of My Chemical Romance.

I'm looking to meet people who: I think are cool! I enjoy reading other people's day-to-day life and their passions, might get me excited about something new , too! If we hype over similar things that's a tasty cherry on top ;9

My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for at least a few times a week.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: if you don't support LGBTQ+, if you excuse any wars, if you support generative AI, you know if you lean in those kinds of directions - please don't talk to me.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm sorry if my post was too long! And I might be using this as a form of therapy (cuz therapy is expensive) so if I do post something that's a bit heavier, I'll learn how to put it behind a cut and maybe make it friends only. But I think I'll try and keep cheery here! I'm still learning how to use this site

Had some Yorkshire tea. They're doing another one of those deals in my apt bldg where they're giving out free food this afternoon, also I may be going to another skeptics in the pub thing tomorrow night, I have to wait to hear from somebody.

I mostly post about: personal growth, trauma unpacking, character analysis, neurodivergence, identity, memory, and the messiness of being human. Sometimes it’s raw introspection. Sometimes it’s writing projects. Sometimes it’s emotional archaeology. Expect depth, questions, and occasional chaos.

My hobbies are: Writing, reading, exploring psychological patterns, long drives with curated playlists, casually reverse-engineering tech, helping others make sense of complex systems, data analysis, and overanalyzing fictional characters as a form of therapy.

My fandoms are: Buffy, Doctor Who, Veronica Mars, iZombie, Epic: The Musical, Star Trek, The Martian/Project Hail Mary universe, and anything weird, genre-bending, or emotionally resonant. I also have a soft spot for nostalgic emo vibes and anything that blends humor with existential dread.

I'm looking to meet people who: Think deeply, love honestly, write messily, and aren’t afraid of intensity. Neurodivergent folks, artists, writers, and anyone else who thrives in the liminal spaces between structure and chaos - let’s connect.

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic but meaningful. If I post, it’s because I have something to say, not because an algorithm demands it.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Bigotry of any kind or cruelty masked as honesty. If you can’t be kind (or at least curious), I’m not your people.

Before adding me, you should know: I’m someone who craves depth over small talk. I’m working on showing up without needing to perform. I write honestly, even when it’s messy. I hold space for contradiction, growth, and grief. If you’re here for realness, reflection, and weird little moments of connection, welcome.

I had a great time yesterday, after me and my friend had lunch and went swimming we decided to spend the rest of the day together instead of my going to the piano thing and we met her boyfriend (who I'm also friends with) for drinks and then went to their place for a great dinner and hung out and had a wonderful evening.

I mostly post about: life, books I'm reading (or re-reading!), music I'm loving, tennis matches I'm yelling at the TV about, and all the soft little joys in between.

My hobbies are: reading, writing, journalling, cooking, gardening, watching tennis, listening to music, doing crosswords, talking about Greek myths, collecting daffodils (not literally, just in spirit), and wandering around museums and libraries like a nerd in her natural habitat.

My fandoms are: Percy Jackson, Greek mythology in general, Taylor Swift, various tennis players (Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng).

I'm looking to meet people who: are curious, kind, thoughtful, and enjoy rambling about things they love. Fellow readers, writers, myth geeks, ADHD brains, and warm-hearted nerds especially welcome!

My posting schedule tends to be: softly chaotic, but aiming for 3–4 posts a week—somewhere between “routine” and “inspired flurry.”

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: bigotry of any kind, cruelty, or just generally being mean-spirited. I like my internet spaces kind and cozy.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a chatterbox when I'm excited, and I’ll probably mention Greek gods, tennis scores, and obscure historical tidbits in the same breath. I write with a lot of heart, and I love connecting with thoughtful people. 💛
