I have a very judgey dog.

I felt it shelter to speak to you. -- Emily Dickinson

So my partner is forever worried about my mental health issues - but I don't have the vocabulary to talk about them just yet. And when I feel bad, I'm not exactly in the mood to parse feelings.

I've been thinking about giving her a little notebook with cartoons that explain how it feels in my head at those times, to help her understand. But it's not exactly the most feel-good kind of gift. Do y'all think it's a good idea, or a terrible one? I'm drunk, so really, wiser minds should prevail

Maybe kind of buying hiking boots today! Merrell or Columbia? And... Who am I???

I'd love to go to this. Anyone in HK checking it out?

I really like pretty water bottles. Like, really really.

...is having one for dragonboating, one for coffee, and one for everyday water a little too much? There is also the glass one that unscrews to become a wide mouth jar, which I feel deserves my support... For, yknow, smoothies and soup and stuff. Which I don't bring around right now. But theoretically could.

I need to stop buying water bottles. But! Bottles!

Also this, just for the headline: "Scientists discover massive sulfur-eating hell-clams in the Philippines." UH. YEAH. stop trying to screw us over, guys, we have fxcking hell clams.

Too hungry to look at food photos / too hungry not to look at food photos

So my last session with my therapist basically had her tell me that suppressed feelings are the cause of my troubles. I'm taking that as advice to Feel All the Feelings.

Except I feel bad now, and I could Feel All the Feelings and curl up in bed, or I could go do something like play with my dog and read a book to make me feel better.

I've read arguments for both. What do you guys do?

Just walked onto campus and there's a Battle of the Bands event. The kids are in heels and short dresses and makeup. The band is playing... Avril Lavigne's "Complicated?" wait

He got off (the train) at my stop! Walked to the other exit, but perhaps one day we shall meet again.

Or at least, he will play with his hair and I will watch him longingly/creepily again. Same same.

He has eyelashes like Bambi.

No wedding ring. Just saying

I am a tiny Asian and he is a tall man. His waist is literally ribcage height. I would fit perfectly under (what I'm sure is) his wonderful-smelling armpit.

Not sure if plus or minus.

Oh my god and now he's thoughtfully rubbing his perfect stubbly chin what is going on, is this some kind of performance art
