If you don't register a Bandcamp with that name then I will

Awwww, now I wanna see Gravebreath, too.

I told a co-worker the dream and he said, "I bet you could AI something together pretty quick."

This is why we are co-workers and not real friends.

I was just reminded of Celiac (Miel Balestrat). Was this person a member of the PRF?

She was. FM Miel.

There has been a misdelivered package sitting in my foyer for a few days. I've been meaning to do the whole "return to sender" deal but I'm never home to give it to the carrier. Decided to walk it on over a few blocks this afternoon. Enjoy your package from Sweetwater, Pam! Sorry it's taken a while to get to you.

Ha. OK, makes sense. She made good music.

Lately, in response to texts, instead of replying with words I've been using emoji to acknowledge texts, mostly hearts, no matter who sends the text. I think it's had a positive effect. Sometimes I scroll and use whichever emoji my thumb randomly stops on.

You can find her on the FB if you look through my friend list... It's the best way of knowing when she's going to do a thang.

I turned 50 yesterday. If I hadn't planned my own party then probably nothing would have happened. I had a good time but shit like this makes me feel like why bother celebrating my own life if nobody else is willing to put any effort into it. My last close family member, my mom's cousin, died in December so I have nobody to call me on my birthday any more. My landline rang yesterday but it was just a spam call and I broke down because until December that would have been her calling to sing "Happy Birthday" to me. I have my girlfriend and her family but they are not warm people and none of them really know or understand me. I'm someone who believes in celebrating birthdays and would do anything to help a friend or loved one feel good on their special day, and I feel like I'm the only person who does. Maybe if I had kids or a community then it would be a normal part of life, but I don't and my friends are too spread out and disconnected from each other to do anything on their own, so at the end of it all it just feels like I'm patting myself on the back. I just want someone else to care.
