I bring good news (for me), I am well! Hooray. And better news (for me) I have finished my exams and passed all my modules, which means I've passed second year. I even passed Zulu, but angikhulumi isiZulu kahle. Hooray! So I have one more year and I get my degree. Thinking of doing honours after that but you know I'm on holiday now and all I can think of is food and sleep and Supernatural.
Friday's youth meeting went extremely well, thanks for all the inspiring things you shared - I used a lot of ideas from there. I spent most of this week reading. A trip to the library is always extremely refreshing, even though we walk back to the car slowly carrying bags of heavy books. I have such a nerd family. I'm busy with "Hearts and Minds" by Amanda Craig which I'm enjoying so far. I forgot how much I love reading a novel I know I'm going to finish (haha). In other news, a cousin is getting engaged this weekend, and my mother and I had an argument about what I'm going to wear. I see nothing wrong with wearing the same brown lace dress I wore for my other cousin's engagement two years ago. And so what if my mom used it for the wedding. And I may have used it last Christmas as well, but it really doesn't bug me as much as it bugs my mom. I wear the same worn out black polka dot dress every year for Good Friday. Anyway, after a crazy racket about it, I eventually settled on another dress I had lying in my cupboard, it's blue and brown and retro and trippy. She dragged me to shop for a pair of shoes to match the dress, and I hate shopping almost as much as I hate centipedes and racism. Shoes are ugly these days. Fashion in general is turning strange. We all look so peculiar in these strangely cut shapes and neon colours. Anyway, I survived that.
Looking forward to training & Holiday Club in the next two weeks! I'm also working on this huge writing project (I always say that don't I) but I can't share it here because it's meant for a friend of mine. It's a daunting task but hey. Life is a daunting task. Pooping after eating a curry is a daunting task. But it must be done.
Hope you're all well. I'd just like to quickly add that I really like all of you. Even though some of you are a bit snotty and write nonsensically huge artsy words like the sun shines out your bum, it's okay. That makes me like you even more sometimes. I sometimes like to think the sun shines out my bum. Who doesn't. A warm bum is a happy bum. Those who disagree have never stuck their bare butt out into the sunshine. Try it, the sensations are unbelievable and I promise you'll thank me for embarrassing the fuck out of you LULZ.
same shit, new notebook
2020 never actually ended for me, and I am still stuck in its grip. My new year will have to be 1st Feb, because I am not ready for the 20 something days of 2021 that have passed. It will all come together, I suppose. - I lost someone to the virus, someone so close to me that I am angry just thinking about it. - I have a new notebook, filled with overly idealistic project plans and drafts (this happens every year). - I (finally) moved in with my partner and our home is a happy one (there are always baked goods). - Every day I get an In Remembrance email from my university. - I got pretty much everything I prayed for last year, but it just feels like a magic spell that came with a price. - I now have to romanticize studying or I will never do it. Cue the rainy Hogwarts library ASMR videos and colourful post-its. - I am trying to use my hatred constructively. - I have a few creative writing projects going and I feel purposeful. As always, my door is open. iy :heart:
o boy
hugs and all i've been baking a LOT! i get recipes from friends and the internet. so far i've tried chocolate cake, chocolate cake with raspberry filling, lemon cake with choc ganache, lemon cake with cinnamon-orange-lemon glaze, lemon cake with strawberry buttercream, coffee cake, orange cake, orange cake with caramel, carrot cake, choc chip cookies and peanut butter cookies. they've all been relatively successful but i have to work on not letting them over bake. any suggestions for new things to try? a bit anxious about my plans for next year. hoping really hard that everything works out. grateful for surviving this year anyway. i've been doing yoga because i don't seem to like any other form of exercise as much. it started off really difficult but now it's become super fun, it's like a daily reminder for my body to let itself breathe. (i've been using Yoga With Adriene on YT - definitely recommend for beginners of all ages types sizes etc.) (trigger: violence) i don't know if
contact
In an attempt to stay in touch outside this site, you can find me on this poetry page https://www.instagram.com/iyraemm_poetry/?hl=en It isn't the most active, but I'll get more direct notifications, so it won't take me 4 months to respond to you. It's not a personal page so you can approach me as anonymously as you like (although I might figure it out bc there are like 5 of you). I think it's fair to say we are all kinda lonely ??? so please say hi :heart: I'll still be on dA though, but just thought I should offer an alternate form of contact in case we are swallowed by the void
hi!
walking through here is like strolling through a very weird garden of ghosts. things are pretty lonely, and seem lonelier on dA.
we're locked down, as i'm sure you are. i have housemates to keep me company, but no matter how much time extra time we've earned to be productive, or nap, or watch netflix, or bake bread, it still feels like the end of the world. so i'm not pretending.
i've been playing a lot of piano, and writing a lot of songs. i'm pretty shit at writing lyrics, so it's mostly melodies for now.
i also can't really handle facebook and instagram anymore, but i think that's because i'm currently having an issue with people. and i
