@kara_dreamer Good luck! (And if you're so inclined, have some tea while you're in the neighborhood. It's pretty great.)

@ikea_femme If it helps, I feel like that all the time. I know my friends don't think of me that way, and there are even some really excitingly queer people who like me an awful lot, I've come to realize, but damn is the feeling hard to shake.

@kara_dreamer Oh, amusingly, I think we're, like, 2-3 hops away in the Seattle social graph? Like, I've met Gravis once, and I know a bunch of the phone museum people that he and Daria are friends with.

@kara_dreamer Well, um, have fun! I remember finding that game so engrossing that I was inadvertently rude to the housemate of the friend I was staying with...

@kara_dreamer ...oh jeez, is this your first time through that game?

Um, if so, I hope you're prepared for some feelings. It's up there with Undertale, or at least it was for me, if for pretty different reasons.

@kara_dreamer I think I might be too singlet-y for that to work. I mean, my brain is a big concurrent mess, just like everyone's, with plenty going on below the conscious level, but it feels like all the moving parts are "me", and treating them as otherwise gets roughly the imagined-Itchy-and-Scratchy shrug (to use perhaps an unnecessarily specific reference).

And I'm _extremely_ resistant to tricking/managing myself. Early alarms, routines, calendars... in the moment I'll lazily "outsmart" all of it. (I know where these tendencies come from, but sometimes it's a bit ridiculous being me.)

@kara_dreamer Haha, not letting myself be lazy is... not something I'm good at. But you're probably right.

@kara_dreamer Yeah, I have a pretty bad record of "this is the quick version; I'll come back and say more later" actually happening. If it happens at all it's not so quick, and I never bother to write the followup.

(I was absolute shit at rough drafts back when school was trying to teach me how to do those, too.)

When I'm out, I have these thoughts that are too long for Twitter, and I think they'll make great posts here.

But I don't write them while I'm out, because they're long and I don't have my laptop with me.

Then I get home, and by the time I have time to write anything I've long forgotten what I was meaning to say here.

And that's why I'm so quiet.

@nire Er, Seattle.

@nire Oh, let me know if you'd like to meet up while you're here!

@nire Oh, Final Fantasy VIII. I think I made jokes about this back in high school?

@nire ...is your keyboard flagging?

@rosa Aaaah, so nostalgic.

I never made it past Odin in that game. Truly my first real lesson in Odin being a jerk.

@rosa I'm not surprised, I just like teasing you. <3

@rosa Hey, I didn't say whether your hands were ungloved. If that's what you're imagining, then it says something about you.

@rosa I definitely support your hands making tea. <3

I don't really understand this advertising campaign, but I'm glad we're getting the word out about Mastodon.

@rosa This appeared in my Twidere combined timeline twice and I honestly didn't know at first if this was because it's a combined timeline or for artistic emphasis.
