I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll weather this trial. Don't let your faith get erroded, your precious sharp rock will be transported to you again soon. Don't suspend us in anticipation, update us soon!

has anyone seen my sharp rock? i left it in the river for 100 years for safe keeping and now i can't find it. its many uneven edges have sentimental significance

Because it's still sort of the new year and I've not blogged nearly enough to give this internet corner an identity yet, I thought I'd talk about my life at the moment.

I'm on Uni break from my Medical Science degree, which will hopefully become a Medicine post-grad in two years. I really enjoy Science and want to be a Doctor (at the moment, I'm looking at Pathology) but I kind of miss the diversity of High School with all of STEM plus the Humanities.

Because I'm super forgetful, I've recently started using Obsidian to try to organise my thoughts into a 'second brain' so that important things don't evaporate from my head as soon as I need them.

I'm self-teaching myself Python, which is fun. I'm currently trying to write a program that lets you create and use a character sheet for DnD5e.

I'm a little interested in learning how to use base2 counting in everyday life, and a lot interested in the Shavian writing system for English at the moment.

I'm a lifesaver and bartender but mostly unemployed.

I play hockey, and am thinking about moving back to defence after trying out striker last year.

I don't know why, but ever since I decided I should start tracking my mood out of 10 in my journal, it seems that I've had tonnes of days where either something really good happens that is then balanced out by something bad, or I have really boring days, or they're days that I can appreciate but with minor inconveniences balancing them out. As a result, I've been having lots of 5/10 days, which feels kind of bad because that looks like I'm having a horrible time of it, but I'm just trying to be really objective and I've been having a very neutral time, exactly 5, not a good day at 7 or a bad day at 3.

I suppose it's just one of the introspective benefits of journaling that allows me to look back and notice how middle-of-the-road my life has been the last week or so.

OH MY YOU CAN DRAG THE POST BUTTON ON THE SCREEN‽ Has everyone known about this?

(also I deliberately took the screenshot ontop of this part of my dash because I thought the comic was very funny, I should check on my girlfriend because I'm definitely developing Dad humour)

No word of a lie, in my Microbiology class me and one of the guys at my bench had a weird bonding experience where we both really liked lighting the bunsen burners because fire but he was waaay more into it. At the end of last class (Thursday night 6-9pm, it's a big oof) we talked some more and he gave me a date! The class was late enough that he could eat again (it's Ramadan right now) and he shared the dates he had with me. I didn't really like dates, but the one he gave me was so sweet and good that I think I might slowly convert to liking dates now (I went through a similar thing with olives in the past). Moral of the story: (responsible) pyromania can lead to meeting new friends and expanding your food pallet!

Archeologist: Thinks about the Roman Empire more times a day than most men think about sex 

Sexologist: Thinks about sex more times a day than most men think about the Roman Empire

Chemist: A pyromaniac and/or is very fun at parties

Science Communicator: Is only fun at parties when everyone else there are nerds

Mycologist/Entomologist: They are VERY interested and passionate about gross things and THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM

Computer Scientist: gay

Wow! I should maybe actually use Tumblr more because when I actually make a thought out post (my post on singular mathematic) I got lots of people replying and re-blogging and generally being nice to me. It was unexpected to say the least, especially since (as I said in the post) I only had half a follower (probable bot) but now after remembering that Tumblr exists and thinking I should maybe try to post more just as an exercise to keep my think-juices flowing, I now have my first two mutuals!

That's very cool, thanks internet strangers for this weird tiny piece of validation :D
