my birthday, I'll hide if I want to

Oops, I forgot to post this before my birthday changed on subeta time. Oh well.. Anyone else really like Casper as a kid?

I need to catch up with notifications on here, I met some awesome new people Dancing during the Masquerade, but I've been having a rough week~... but I really enjoy this site. So much. I wish I had found it years ago but it's such a delightful, comforting corner of digital space. I talk about this site on FB whenever I surface to check stuff.

It was a quiet day alone, for the most part. I have complex PTSD, and someone knocked within the last 30 mins so I am still tense but I'm happy to be here. Just thinking about getting to log onto this site comforts me. I felt like this was probably a good place for this awkward post.

I want to reach out more even here but it's hard, because I feel guilty when I forget to keep up with things or I get distracted by life. This site is great for inspiration.

I'm 33 now, and I got my free birthday drink. They call it a grasshopper now instead of ninja turtle- mint and chocolate coffee drink, I like it blended. it'd be like 7$ or something otherwise. I guess I should post in other spaces for some stuff but if anyone else struggles with their birthday or in general with anything, I'm here to listen, too. You can feel free to nest away in a corner somewhere too, I won't judge you.

I am probably going to be up for several hours, though I will likely be watching kdramas. I should actually make a wish list for here and make sure there's not misclicks again.. It's weird, I feel like hiding but I feel like reaching out quietly to a possibly friendly digital unknown. Existing can be cool. The internet has been home for 22 years now. Finding out lantern fish are real when I was 7 felt like long lost family coming home for a visit. My mom was born in Ireland on Halloween. (I live in the Pacific Northwest, near Portland, OR, she lives in upstate NY in my hometown)
