oh right, by the way, i did finally give the bestie (my polsci prof) his (belated) eid gift [: it's a really cute orange cat keychain—though i planned on getting him something Pochacco related at first, i saw this keychain and i was like wow...this cat looks so much like him. i had to get it. he seemed happy that i got him a gift at all so i hope he likes the kitty lol

Congratulations! A shiny Fletchling hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #155)! Your PokéRadar reset and needs new batteries.
birdbros we are so up

i love it when my friends start telling me situations and preface it with "dont tell anyone else," because then i can flex my comedy muscles and go "but i can tell my bestie (polsci prof) right?" hilarious every time.

NO WAY LMAO

Starting my second Fletchling shiny hunt. Warm my egg. Can't promise I'll warm yours back, but find some kindness in your heart

i dont even have a funny april fools thing anymore im so sorry. im so preoccupied with my friendship quest i cant think of anything. im so sorry

i suppose i should say this here, too, since i made a feed about a month ago asking if my bestie (polsci prof) clocked me as autistic. well, i went up to his office today to talk to him about an experience i had this monday which reminded me of something that happened in his class semester—something about my professors immediately clocking that im nervous about presentations—so i ask him, "is there something about me?" and he tells me, mind you without me bringing up the subject of autism around him ever, that he'd always thought that i was on the spectrum. i told him i'd always suspected that i am autistic and he said something along the lines of "i mean, i have adhd, so i sensed some neurodivergence in you." this is great.

despite the fact that im majoring in international studies, i actually have no real force within me to change anything in this world. my ideal future is one where we return to hunter-gatherer societies, or at least to bartering, but economists think that this is "less effective" than using money or keeping up the global capitalist system. free trade is beneficial to all, according to them. and who's going to listen to me over an economist?

showing oomf the gay bolshevik texts

yesterday i ate all the leftovers of the biscoff cheesecake that my mom made and, ever since, i've been reeling with the consequences of eating something so dense with cream and cheese. do not let your greed get you into such tragic affairs—always live a life led by moderation when it comes to these things.

my bestie is wearing those really bright purple pink and green sneakers again today... i didnt get too good of a look, but im at least 85% sure theyre the Puma MB.03 Toxic Basketball Shoes

today while sitting upstairs i was contemplating whether i should visit my bestie's (polsci prof) office or not, and for once in my life, i thought to myself, "why dont i eenie-meenie-miney-mo it?" and so i did. i designated one thumb for "yes" and the other "no," and, in the end, i left it in the hands of fate—landed on "yes," almost doubted myself, but then decided it must be a Ramadan miracle, and made my way to his office. i always check first if his curtains are drawn or not, and they were, so it was safe to knock, except when i did, i didnt get an answer...but, somehow, i suppose i didnt want to give up. i shuffled my way to the window and he noticed me and, fortunately, seemed free enough to happily wave & invite me in. indeed, i should always trust in Allah's plan for me.

been getting a lot of cramps recently and, honestly, i blame the sykes-picot agreement

now that im exempt from fasting for the next week or so, i should go to the bestie's (my polsci prof) office and show him this showstopping thing... see, i got a video on my fyp a while ago of someone painting birthdays and, though i was really close to scrolling, i decided to see if they maybe had done his birthday too. Lo and behold—December 26 was in fact included; what are the chances? Anyway, it's a really pretty painting so i decided he needed to see it too, lol. hopefully i can actually stop by soon

you know, at first, i was somewhat worried that my style of prose is a bit too dreamy—getting a little bit too close to the ramble-zone and burdening the reader with unnecessarily long tangents. then i started reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment and i realized there's nothing for me to worry about, really

anyway, since everyone on twitter was being cranky and haters about it, i'll say it here now; im thinking of getting the bestie (my polsci prof) and maybe even my anthro prof gifts for eid—i single them out because theyre the only ones i have an idea of what to get (it's pretty easy: the former likes dogs, latter likes cats). not to brag or anything, but im kind of a genius

Asked my international relations prof if I could see his tie today, and thankfully he was very happy to show me. It was this navy blue with little golden dots, and some gold thread woven in here and there. Told him it was very pretty. He often wears really nice ties so I make sure to point it out

learning russian right now (before you comment "?" it has nothing to do with the fact that my bestie (polsci prof) is russian. uh. trust me) this stuff is difficult. i havent gotten to any grammar or sentence structure yet, just memorizing words is pretty onerous. im getting better at reading cyrillic script quickly though

gave the bestie (polsci prof) a physical copy of one of the selfies we took last semester, because my mom printed them out unprompted a while ago. we took two, so i have one taped on my cabinet and now he has the second one; this socializing shtick is great.

Happy birthday to my older brother, who keeps coming into my room just to throw plush toys at me & "test my reflexes." I can say I'm better at catching things now
