i'm thinking maybe i should try dating again

i'm not getting younger, and i can feel myself getting older.

did you know that joints actually are shitty?  it's true.

not super happy about the middle age acne either, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

any advice?  i guess tinder is the thing now?  can i just post a few pics and a "hey, i'm weird and crazy, but i'd like to not die alone" or is that weird and crazy?

and how do you be like "i'd like to have an intimate partner to share my life and triumphs with, but if you'd be ok with me just hiding under a blanket for a a few hours a day, that'd really be wonderful."

so yeah.  hedgehog's dilemma and all that.





i wish we just had government mandated triads to belong to.  stupid anti-collectivists forcing us into a socially divisive capitalist nightmare.

i will one day finish this story

and the others.

i'm just awful and slow about things, and i'm busy at work, but like, actually enjoying work and the busy-ness it entails, so that's weird but good?

but i've had tabs open for like a month, so here's some stories you should read instead:

Pony Girl
Pony Girl 2
Dungeon Museum
Dungeon Museum 2

i'm way behind on this one, but here's chapter 9 of Gumdrop.  i need to catch up, because it's awesome.

that one came from Steel Rapt Stories, which is a wonderful way to discover new stories, and i'm pretty sure i know who is running it, but that's not important, how great the stories are that are curated there is.

finally, i've gotten caught up in the stories of DjEtla. these are way more extreme, which probably means i should relax more and not stress out about work, but this is me ignoring sense and pushing my brain as hard as i can.
