ooh session tomorrow

@bobble I'm literally counting down the time

but I have to survive today, ugh. There is school-related stuff happening until roughly 8AM-7PM, with one break for lunch.

ooooooof

It's not normally this way, but my homework buddy for math has stuff happening later this week so everything got pushed to today

@bobble I hope you both achieve what you need to :)

I definitely haven't been going over the transcript of our last session as a reminder for tomorrow 😁

@AncientSwordRage strong DM eyebrows

valid

i think i've slept a total of 2 hours over the past few days

mick that is not healthy and not something that I can condone

my dog is going downhill medically and i have a lot of projects due all at once, so it's kinda just how the last few days have been

lots of internal screaming :p

how is the mith?

@Sciborg I've not quite been there, but I can understand

stuck on base with a migraine but all good

I can also understand if you need to sleep instead of DM tomorrow

nah i'm fine, i need to joke about it to keep my spirits up. the month in general has been a good month

just this week for whatever reason is kicking my ass

@Sciborg wishing a full recovery to your dog, and to your schedule

she's not really gonna recover, it's just sorta waiting to see how long it'll be. i'm trying not to think about it too much

;_;

dogs are so special and she's been our dog for a long time. it's been hard to conceptualize. i'll be okay

don't mean to be depressing, sorry, how is military stuff going?

It's... going

I've actually been on vacation for the past week for holiday, but I wound up feeling really bleh the entire holiday for whatever reason

But only another year and seven months until I'm out of the military and can actually start my life

@Mithical yay to starting life!

@Mithical Feel this tweet so much

It's like a cycle and you know what you're doing, but when it starts up again you just can't kick yourself out of it

Yeah. Luckily, I have good friends who are able to pull me out of such ruts 💜

we're always here if you need us ❤️ (even if borg is sad sometimes)

Online friends are the best. I have several friends who I met online in 2014 and we've been in near continuous contact, even through the site we met on shutting down and all of growing up. Literally over seven years, and I have plans to fly out to meet them when I'm out of the army.

How many friendships survive that long, especially never having met face to face?

Online friendships like the PSE buddies are wonderful. It's like a daily little boost of happiness to see new messages and feel loved/wanted by other people, which is an IRL struggle sometimes. And on some level it's easier to talk about things that you struggle with that you wouldn't always feel comfortable talking about in real, public life.

I hope you do get to fly out to see them, that sounds so neat :D

Online friends are definitely a new thing for me in the past two years

As opposed to just close acquaintances

I've slowly been trying to find friends for my wife via pokemon go

Kind supportive and patient people who are happy to listen when she is down

If your wife is comfortable, we'd love for her to join the discord. She sounds like a really sweet person and we're happy to chat with her if she needs a friend.

No pressure obviously

We've already had a Kaktus pop in recently, so I don't see why we couldn't add a few more friends :D

@Sciborg I'll let her know you've offered, I'll need to word it right

She's been burnt enough times that she might not want to risk it... And/or feel overwhelmed by the group aspect

I fully understand. It's totally okay if she's not comfortable and there's no pressure. We'll be as welcoming as we possibly can be

But I'll still ask ♥️

@Sciborg thanks I appreciate it

Now about these eyebrows

@AncientSwordRage It is a significant difference. I have close friends, who I'm comfortable sharing personal stuff with; friends, who I'll banter around with; acquaintances, who I'll comfortably discuss stuff with or joke around; teammates, who I'll discuss relevant stuff with in a game or whatever; and other varying levels of acquaintence.

@Mithical there's definitely layers

Also trying to remember hundreds of different usernames can be a hassle... I interact with a lot of people over many different platforms.

Ughhhh yeah that too

I still remember ICQ numbers (not my number, just in general)

*quickly Googles what those are*

Hahaha 😀
