Reintroducing myself! Hi, Rae here. I like #crochet, #fiberarts, #reading (especially Japanese lit), #anthropology (in school for it), #videogames (#stardewvalley, #falcom, especially the Trails/Kiseki series), #languagelearning. Aprendo #español. I’m learning #piano and #singing. I enjoy #writing and #conlanging. I’m really shy (but I think I’m slowly coming out of my shell here), so please be patient with me.

Hi, I'm Rae. Mastodon sounded nice so I decided to try it.

I like #crochet, #reading, and I have an interest in #languages. I'm currently learning Spanish. I'm studying #anthropology in school. I'm really shy so please be patient with me.

I don't normally want to complain about weather but it's -20 with windchill and my hands went numb waiting for the bus today. =( I think today will be a day for staying inside

While I like new, pristine #books, I'm a sucker for a used #book that has stuff underlined in it! #Reading them is sort of like having a seance with a prior #reader. Oh, you underlined this passage? Why did it strike you? Wait, you underlined all the lewd passages? 😳 Oh my! 😳

You revisited your booklog to see if you should reread titles.
Some are foggy. Unfamiliar? Did you really read this?
3 Stars. Maybe it's unmemorable. 4 Stars. It shouldn't be.
Look at years. Early winter 2013. Early 2014. Then it jumps to 2015.
2014, the dark year. Where your despair reached its peak.
ECT. Electroconvulsive therapy. Memory loss. The treatments continue, but life is no longer a blur. You feel happy now. Were a few memories really that bad a price to pay?

Rose tea is so good. Someone tell me if there is a better tea but you better be telling the truth.

¿Me he hecho una optimista? 😲 #español #Spanish

Spoiler: It's really hard to print a fill-out pdf if you don't have a printer when you forget to install nitro on your reformatted machine. 🤦

Class went well. It seems pretty relaxed. I feel optimistic about it.

How do you talk to people in your class?????? How does one make conversation? Everytime I do it I think I'm a witch and Idk how I did it.

#Question for #music or #piano people: see that note with two heads? What's its deal? I asked my brother but he doesn't know. He doesn't play #Bartok. https://witches.town/media/Xy0d6XWtNL8XoAzLNxk https://witches.town/media/F86OISAFQvTTrZsND5E

I went downstairs to take migraine medication and my dog threw a tantrum and refused to eat afterwards until I started handfeeding him like a horse. I was gone two minutes tops.

I have statistics today. Gonna be optimistic. Plus side: no commute. Down side: no commute so I can't knit (just kidding. It's actually that other than walks and such I've never been on this campus.)

Also #knitting update: The circular needles are taking some work getting used to, but I think I like them better than straight needles. Continental for life!

Well I think school went well. Still not that great at answering questions right away, but no one got mad at me at least. Though participation is a grade, so I gotta worry about that orz.

I restart school again today. Idk I'm pretty anxious and I'm having trouble figuring out why (passage of time? General changes? plans for more on my plate? Performance anxiety? I don't know). I don't want to text my therapist because of how early it is.

Question about #migraines for people who also suffer them. I heard about migraine forecasts and migraine tracking apps. 1. What is a migraine forecast and is it bunk? 2. If migraines can be predicted, are there good apps for android? I don't mind paying, I just want #recommendations Sorry. I'm pretty new to this still, I didn't know I suffered migraines until a couple years ago, so I still don't much about what causes them for myself other than maybe stress, and I've been feeling fairly relaxed lately.

Got some circular #knitting needles to try as a celebration of getting back into knitting while I was out getting more yarn needles. They don't have the sizes written on the needles like my others I noticed. Maybe I need to apply nail polish? Why yes I am flying blind other than the first book of stitch and bitch.

Migraine abated slightly. Gonna try eating. I think soup for breakfast.
