I Swear To The Primordial Gods, If One More Goddamn Person Says "you'll Understand When You Have Kids",

I swear to the primordial gods, if one more goddamn person says "you'll understand when you have kids", I'm gonna blow a casket

I saw a thing yesterday that said eye appointments are supposed to be an annual thing. ??? Miss Ma'am? Idk where you're getting your information, but I think it's wrong.

The only annual eye appointments I ever had was in elementary school when all us students were herded off to stand in lines in the gym to make sure we could still see the boards in class. Those proved to be useless because I was not born with 20/20 vision and no one believed that my sight was getting worse until I walked up to my fifth grade teacher one day and said "I can't read the board" despite sitting maybe 5 feet away.

I got my first pair of glasses in 6th grade. From then, I don't go until my glasses break or I am unable to see outta the lenses.

..or a secret third option where the DMV told me that they would not allow me a learners permit until I had new glasses because "These results are telling me that you're legally blind. Come back with an actual eye exam and new glasses."

For anyone who's curious, this is a pretty good idea of what I see without my glasses on (I am very near sighted)

The 20/400 is what I was what I was told my vision was at when I got the glasses I now have in my junior (sophomore? can't remember) year. No one told me what that meant, but I still haven't bothered to look it up. I can finally make blind jokes and my friends can't tell me off for them! (as long as they're in good taste)

I wonder if it got worse???? Sure feels like it

I was wrong (probably). Everything's good

Y'all know the fanfic writer's curse, right?

I think it's finally come for me

We took the screen outta one of the basement windows so that Sox and Mittens can go outside. There is, however, a grate on top so that they can't get out into the backyard.

That's important context to this story.

I just got to watch a small bird give my cats the run around for ten minutes by hiding on top of my dad's Star Destroyer. It then proceeded to give my mom the run around until I got both cats in my room. At which point I threw my jacket on top of the basket it landed in (one of Mittens' favorite sleeping spots) and took it upstairs to let it out outside. I think it might try to get back inside, though...it was staring very intently at me

I was worried, for a bit there, about how I'd be able to write the Spidey Sense but then I remembered that I have (and currently am) already written a character with a precognition sense. It's a lot more sentient than Spidey Sense, but just means that the SS should theoretically be easier to write!

(Unless I've got it totally backwards and the precog Power I've written before was only easy because I could write it as though it were an actual character, therefore making the SS much harder to write because it's basically super anxiety instead of a voice in a head) (Hm)

In other news! Several of my notes and rough dialogue clips that I've got down rn are inspired by other people's works, so each has been written down and credited. No, I don't remember what inspired what, I just know that I was inspired and therefore but the fic and author in my notes at the very top, right above my cast and just under my title ideas

I was thinking about writing a Spider-Man and Batman crossover like Leap of Faith and Dark Matter, but I convinced myself otherwise. Not because I don't think I'd do a good job or because I'm already working on a million and a half stories, but because of this:

I tend to go really dark with my writing if I don't make sure to not let myself get lost in the words. I don't think I could bring myself to put Peter through anything I'd come up with. Maybe in the future, but definitely not right now
