Literally 90% of what I listen to is showtunes. I also used to love Lindsey Stirling, but I sort of outgrew her.
I'm Actually Dying of Boredom
group
Hmmm
If you couldn't tell from my pfp, I listen to FFDP and other rock/metal. But I also hop around pop music and the occasional Kpop. I used to be super into Kpop, thanks to a friend that I now loathe, but now it's more the rock/metal that I defer to. Hate country even though I live in the countryside
Oh wow that's cool. I've never really listened to any rock music, cause I'm a preppy little theater kid. OH MY STARS I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
group
It's just so boring and… BLEGH. Plus, nearly my entire family plays it and it just got so irritating. Thankfully my dad got me into his kind of music.
And the thing is, a lot of people expect me to like it because I live in the country. Like… ???? So?
Oh yeah, stereotypes are hella annoying. I go to an 80% Hispanic school, and they all seem to think that all white people like country music and we're all rich. Like honey, my parents are teachers, they don't exactly make the big bucks.
I probably have to go soon, but I was wondering what I should call you? Cause I was calling you Shadow Weaver in my head for some reason, but that's a villain from She-Ra, so yeah, maybe not that exact name.
group
Lmao. My name on here is Circe–though that's not my actual name–so feel free to call me that.
Sweet, good to know. Ok, now I have a very important question: have you ever heard of or watched Thomas Sanders?
group
Umm, hell yeah
Oh, thank the stars. Sorry, he's just a beautiful human being and yeah thank the stars (I have to go in like 5 minutes apologies in advance).
group
XD
It's okay! I'll be available all weekend
Welp, I just woke up and I'm already bored. Do I need to get a life? Yes. Am I going to? Pfft, of course not!
group
Lmao
I just got back from mowing. My entire back is covered in hives and I was so hot a cold shower literally didn't bother me–and this is coming from a person that showers with Satan's water.
Oh my stars that SUCKS. I'm honestly so glad that I physically don't have the strength to mow the lawn. I get frustrated any time I have to go out and water the lawn, because our summers start in April and are 90 degrees on a nice day, but I'm not allowed to spray myself with the hose water, so I have to take a spray bottle and literally just pause every five minutes to just spritzy spritz spritz and I'm still dry when I go back inside like desert summers suck so much they just bend the laws of physics.
group
PA weather doesn't know how to make up its mind. There have been a few weeks where each day was a different season–in the middle of spring.
Yeah, most of Washington is pretty chill, especially Seattle and Spokane, but I don't live there, oh no, we could never have chosen a chill place to live. Nope, right in the middle of the freaking state, where it's either too hot or too cold, plus all our family lives in Spokane or Seattle, so we have to drive three hours to see our relatives… the upside is that we have a RIDICULOUS amount of orchards and vineyards; my mom's a photographer so they're kinda her absolute favourite.
group
My mom likes photography as well. It's not her job, but it might as well be with how much stuff she buys for her camera.
And that's gotta suck. Both of my grandparents are just down the road, either left or right.
My mom used to have photography as her job, but then she realised that she didn't really enjoy taking pictures just for money, so now she stalks around backstage during dress rehearsals for my shows and takes awesome play pictures.
We used to live in Spokane, but my dad couldn't find a job anywhere other than where we live now, so we moved literally ON my 3rd birthday. My parents really like to move on my birthday lmao. The first time we moved was on my 1st birthday, and then of course moving across the state on my 3rd, and then we moved on my 8th birthday, and now we're looking to move again this summer. It's not actually intentional, my birthday is just at the end of summer, and yeah it's just kind of become a thing.
group
Wow. Just…wow. I've never moved, but I did change houses once when I was little. We had a small trailer when I was younger, and then my mom got pregnant with my sister so we decided to get a double-wide. Same plot of land, just different house. My sister has only known our current house, which is the double-wide.
Oh wow. Honestly, moving was just really awkward, cause a bunch of people came over to help, which was nice of course, but still awkward, cause most of them were my mom's friends. Also, when we moved the third time, we came back to get a few last things, and our hecking BATHROOM DOORS were gone. Not the super-expensive drill, not the new vacuum cleaner, no. They took our bathroom doors.
group
Umm…
What?
Who steals bathroom doors!? Like, that's the least valuable thing to take. Granted, if you wanted to annoy someone with a minor inconvenience, then sure.
Ikr! Also, how did absolutely NO ONE notice someone coming out of a house just casually carrying two hecking DOORS? And they only took the ones from the bathrooms, like I understand none of the logic that went into this plan. I guess they came into the house, seeing that we had moved, and saw nothing they thought was valuable, so they were like well, since I'm here, might as well take their bathroom doors, I've been meaning to do that….
group
I question humanity sometimes, especially with situations like that. I mean, there had to of been people who saw people (or a person) just casually carrying two doors down the street. And the fact that they didn't do anything about it just boggles my mind. They're as questionable as the thief/thieves.
Yeh, it's just confusing. My mom raised me so that if I see someone drop something, I tell them they dropped it, if I like someone's hair, always tell them, it might make their day, and if I see a freaking THEIF carrying twO BATHROOM DOORS, I call the freaking owners and/or the police! I mean, is it really that difficult to pick up your phone for two minutes to alert someone????
group
Apparently it is. OR, they were too stunned and dumbfounded to even think about alerting someone. I mean, if I saw someone just randomly carrying two bathroom doors, I'd just stare at them through the window with a wtf look on my face. AND THEN I would call someone.
Yeah, honestly, that's exactly how I would imagine that scene playing out if I had seen it. But it's become one of the most well-known stories in my family. Like, I'll be chilling with my cousins, and one of them will just go, "remember that one time someone stole your doors?" Yes, Sara, I remember that. (I'm the oldest of my cousins, which is great cause I get to be sarcastic and they won't contradict me. My second oldest cousin is just about a year younger than me, though, so we randomly quote memes at each other)
group
lmao. My cousins and I aren't very close. I question the life decisions of three of them, and most of my other cousins are either younger than me or just very rarely seen that I don't even know who they even are. Family "reunions" usually just end up as separate cliques within the family chatting and waiting for food to be served.
Oof yeah, same. I feel really bad for my cousins, though, because their mom was sent to rehab for 9 months and got kidnapped a while ago (she's back now), and she doesn't really know how to parent even though she has 5 kids, their stepdad doesn't really care about them much, their birth father is a smoker who works almost all the time as a construction worker all over the state, so they have pretty much always lived with my grandparents, and their birth father's girlfriend, who was a really nice lady, also got sent to rehab, and we haven't seen her since. It's really rough for them.
And my aunt's kids, who are almost four, live in their grandma's house with their parents. Who have no jobs. And live off of food stamps. And think that yelling is the best way to fix any problem. Their last Christmas was payed for by Toys for Tots, and yet my aunt still won't let my grandparents help her out with anything.
Okay, that was a lot of information that you probably didn't want to hear, but to bring it back around to what you said, there's a lot of old people, so my cousins and second cousins who are 4-7 years older than me just kinda chill. Now that we're all older, we usually play truth or dare, but all we do is just "i dare you to steal one of grandma's eggs" so… yeah, kinda oof.
group
That one helluva info dump, but a depressing one.
I feel really bad for your cousins. My one cousin has had some…traumatic…things happen to her. Thankfully she still has my aunt–her mother–so she's at least got a home. Her other siblings are scattered around the foster care system because both their father and mother are in prison–they shared a father. My other cousin lives with her deaf boyfriend and her son. No jobs and he's living off of disability because neither of them is mature enough to actually adult properly. Their son is named Azaxel–or however the fuck you spell it. Azaxel Winter Chaoz. Yup. That's what they named the poor kid. Changed his last name and all. My OTHER cousin, her older sister, has all of her teeth that rotting out and she refuses to have them pulled because she's "too young." Basically a skeleton because she can't/won't eat. Their younger brother failed 8th grade 3 times and plays video games all day and night. I'm ashamed of being related to those three tbh. There's a lot more, but that's the stuff off the top of my head.
Oof, yeah, family issues can really suck. My mom's considered the "normal" sibling in her family.
group
I wouldn't classify myself as "normal," but I'm plenty normal compared to some of my cousins.
