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.

In my class in a few minutes (been sick all week so not certain) I think we're discussing the "Darkness in El Dorado" controversy. AKA: if a story is juicy, facts don't matter. *sigh* maybe today just isn't the day for happy things. #anthropology

Oh yeah #español doesn't have the word shallow in the sense I think of it. #spanish. At iirc.

Phone needs a backing away emoji.

Peer review topic is "la elección de 2016 en los Estados Unidos" 😱 #dontwannareadit

On one hand, I like not having the responsibility of having a printer (ie: dealing with printer problems). On the other, I have to head to school an hour early to do homework because my prof posted pdfs late afternoon that aren't fill-out-able so I have to print and physically submit. =/

#thought: Is "clumsy oaf" redundant? Can you have a "graceful oaf"? Should I just call my dog an "oaf" when he steps on me? #thoughts

New #battery for the #phone! I guess the moral is #shoplocal even if you're practically a shut-in.

Got back from an electronics shop with the prognosis (?) of "Yes, your battery is faulty. Here are places in town to go replace it." That sounds overwhelming. 😖 #phone #needmorespoons

You know, I hear sometimes/often people are more comfortable expressing different aspects of themselves in #foreignlanguages. so far I'm most comfortable complaining about migraines in Spanish. What does that say about me? Also that I remember: 。。。いたいんです！ from Japanese best of all. #linguistics #español #日本語

Todavía tengo una migraña pero no quiero faltar a la clase hoy. orz #español

Well shit. Morning routine is usually reviewing #anki and listening to podcasts before class. I guess I can't really deny how much I use my #phone. I'll do some reading, but this really is less than ideal.

This sucks, not just because we live in a world of obsession with phones, but because I have permission to record my classes. #phone

"Invalid battery, shutting down..." 😱 #phone

Ouch. Migraaaaaiiiinnnne

There's also "Cold as a witch's tit in a brass bra" which makes me wince. Is that a circle of hell in Dante's Inferno?

Thinking about the phrase "Cold as a witch's teat". I don't think it's a very good system of measurement. Which witches? 🤔 I'm not feeling up Baba Yaga to measure how cold it is in Winter no matter how below zero it is. Has anyone come up with a standardized measurement for "witch's teats"? I'm afraid to google it because I'm pretty sure I'll just get porn.

I know there are important things to worry about in the world, but #scientists, why don't we have chocolate cows yet? I've wanted them my whole life. #sickofwaiting #science #milk #chocolate

I got Harvey's six heart event before his four heart event. I didn't know you could do that. 🤔 #stardewvalley

Doing feast of the winter star. I have this impression that if Shane had a fb page (do people still make rp fb pages?) he would probably be constantly sharing stuff from... what is it. IFLS? I don't like that... 😐 #stardewvalley

You know, I should try to treat Pierre like a human being. #stardewvalley
