You're welcome and thank you!



Posted in banana milk rant Posted 8 months ago


my local market stopped carrying banana milk

I knew this would happen, it was labelled as a limited seasonal item. I suppose June-mid July was the "season".
They came in these glass bottles that were a bit pricey, BUT if you clean and bring the bottles back, you get half off the next one, making it a super good deal imo (surprising, since TX seems to hate recycling afgkjjh)

It is surprisingly difficult to find banana milk in the US.
Between my 10 years in CO and my 2 years in TX, I have found banana milk I think 3 times? and all 3 times they very quickly stop carrying it at the stores. I have purchased the last stock of banana milk at a shop in CO once and for years and years since, they never carried it again LOL
That one was imported korean brand so I was like ok FINE makes sense

but this recent one?
was a US brand

supply and demand right? So I just need to get enough US friends to shout about banana milk enough until corp giants see us, and are like omg these people need 'nana milk

Oh last weekend on grocery day, I saw something yellow catch my eye so I backstepped and was like
omg
is that a nana uyu
BANANA MILk??
So I grabbed the carton without care
and you know what? dont do that, because when you get home and pour out the contents, you might ask youself

Why is it THIS color??

and then husband points out the fact that I cant read XD
This tasted like granola and water, it was a terrible experience.

I'm sure I could just make my own banana milk,
just like back when I couldnt find strawberry milk anywhere where I lived at the time (now that I think about it, I think thats in short supply here, too)
I made it myself once. It was fun but
can I just be lazy and buy these? :')


Have you all had banana milk?
love or hate it?
Will you sign this petition to convince american companies that we need nana milk

It is 4 days into August and I still have internet.

Perhaps...

I will assume that in 10 more days, it will be turned off?
The contract ended July 14
They said that on paper

At least it is not my account, so I do not have to worry about "accidental billing" or anything. That's the landlord's issue

I have no idea how making friends works!
I feel like I used to be good at it in the past, like I always had a few online friends I felt close with and chatted with daily.
They were as much chronically online as I was
But I have no idea how I did that either. It just kinda happened.

I think it does just come down to openly chatting with anyone and everyone, when it comes to these kinds of sites. has very little to do with what your avi looks like or your gender! In time, people will start to recognize you. Especially on a site like this one, it kinda already feels like you're friends once you begin to recognize each other XD Maybe thats just me

I'm days late to see this but I am sorry to hear about this. I know the feeling like your heart is getting pulled across the country, but travelling couldn't feel any slower. I hope you travelled safely and timely.
Just as much, I hope that he can pull through.

Take all the time you need to be with your family, but we're here for you!

The internet has been very very slow for3 days, and seems to worsen. I am thinking the grace period may be coming to an end.

In other news, I finally made the call of quitting Twitter. I only log on to collect socials from other artists/friends I follow. Otherwise, I deleted all media from the account and am letting it fizzle out.

I'll always try to keep my Carrd up to date if I change any other socials
but for right now, my art can be found on Cara
and I just joined Misskey.io (I'll also share art there, but do more casual socializing too)

I might try a bit of Japanese studying along the way, while I still have too much downtime
at least to learn basics so I can be polite on misskey.

other than that... well, its still too hot here and I need a job :')

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, unfortunately I think these crazy summers will be the new norm for a really long time.
I also find that I need to adapt in ways that I don't feel I had to in the past.
Look, I went to a park today to get some steps in, and didnt even THINK to check that uhhh its 103°F out there
NO WONDER we were the only people in the entire park, my husband and i LOL
30 min later we died!

aww my husband gets winter blues pretty badly too. I usually like winter more, but the icy weather causes trauma since I always am required to be in a car for the worst of it

@Whim:
omg yes, the sunsets! Im not usually outside to see them anymore, but I also love them in autumn <3

@Stinky:
ahh good luck fellow southern state-er
drink extra water, buy a parasol...

@Justice:
ohh?
what gives you this feeling?

that tiny pumpkin is so cute omg

@Justice:
ohhh fashion week! Thanks for reminding me, I need to look at that ♥
Speaking of, your avi is so precious

Posted in Hello hello Posted 9 months ago


@Totalanimefan:
omg! Ahhh I'm so excited for you two
I still have not bought yet. I came pretty close but the prices were just slightly too high still. So close but so far XD
So we're still in the same apartment. I really like it here, despite the high cost.

interview felt good! The interviewer was very giggly and nice. I feel like I got good feedback from the things I said.
The ONLY thing I got nervous about after the fact
was that when trying to get zoom to work (it was muted on her end but I thought I broke it for a sec) I bumped over my can of fizzy water when reaching for my phone, and it spilt a little on the table. Which in itself was fine, table has a waterproof seal, but I DONT REMEMBER if I muted BEFORE saying "oh shit" or AFTER.
But this was at the very start so if she did hear me, she didn't act like she did lmaooo XD

@blue:
A group interview?!
that already sounds like a scam
I didn't know marital status was illegal to ask. Now that I think about it, my last job asked a ton of these kinds of questions. Maybe they got around it by calling the interview an audit? Maybe in that case they can skate around the law, idk.
Thankfully it turned out fine, they meant well. lmao

Interviewers are often stumbling through it as much as the interviewees
but there's still a level of decency that should be shown on both sides. I'm sure you know by now, but always remember that if an interview makes you uncomfortable, you ALWAYS are able to excuse yourself and leave. If the interview is bad already, the job will be worse!
