Q2 2024 (April, May, June)
WE HAVE RETURNED STELLAFELLAS!!!! i did not plan on ending this, but for the last three months, things were going a bit too fast for me to pop out SOS posts. maybe no one reads these, but i am dedicated to documenting my lore for anyone and everyone who wishes to read. if you have been following the last 90 days, i have been on the creed cruise, went to paris last min for the eras tour, took a long trip to Seoul, moved back to the US, and got reunited with my sweet babygirl Betty and my two cats :) truthfully i am ready for things to slow down, like, a lot. it’s been a bit too much for me to have all these things going on. i need a nap and my damn furniture so i can get back in my creative groove and do what i do best- be annoying online. anywho, here’s some ins and outs from the past few months :)
IN
1) Clash of Clans: i am soooo late to this, maybe even 10 years late. but at the beginning of May i finally downloaded this time suck and i really am having so much fun! now that i’m getting up in the higher town halls, the fun of it has slowed down massively, but the come up to town hall 10 has been fun. i’ve been setting timers even to make sure i dont leave a second of down time for my builders. once i found out there were cosmetics and troll base builds it really was a done deal for me, what a fun game. don’t even feel compelled to spend money on it, just the season pass. that being said, if any REAL GAMERS wanna join my clan send me an email x)
2) Recycling: i’ve always preferred to recycle my trash but i think i’ve gotten a bit annoying about this. i feel immense guilt when tossing something i could recycle, especially in public. in no way am i a zero waste girlie but i cannot stand how much could be taken out of landfills and turned into some hippie couch cushion or child’s guitar idk…also, apparently recycling is too expensive and barely works? so whats the answer here? i don’t even view this as an environmental initiative just purely there are TOO MANY THINGS IN THE WORLD….reduce reuse recycle. that includes aluminium cans, cardboard boxes, and fwbs.
3) Sunning your holes: i thought this was a joke when i saw it circulate a few years ago, but now that i have a private backyard and direct Florida sun, I can confirm this is actually very enjoyable. even if it doesn’t do anything and it’s all in my head, who cares? its a great routine. feels freeing. please try at your own risk and do not do this if you have even the slightest chance of being seen because good lord is it a weird story to explain to your neighbors.
4) Handymen and being handy: i’ve always felt this way but goodness me those blue collar grimey skilled laborers are so hot. like yeah, you get covered in dirt and fiberglass insulation and wipe your drenched sweat forehead with your torn up tshirt…thats hot. i have done a few home tasks as well (more on that later) but to the professionals who are licensed and do great work with care…i love you. i weep to think that we will not have tradespeople anymore because everyone wants to be a tiktok star and have skibidi rizz or whatever…..PICK UP A POWER TOOL BOYS!!!!!
5) Real good food: you don’t understand how deprived i’ve been of good food while being in England. seeking any form of hispanic food was nearly impossible. so you bet as soon as i landed my butt in Florida i sought out the nearest elote and sucked that mfer dry. was a delightful experience. similarly, being in Seoul for those 12 days i ate SO much good food. tteokbokki and galbi being my faves. just so glad good food is in my life again, F the bland british foods (even if beanz on toast is good) give me my GMOs and insane culinary experimentation!!!
6) Theme parks: if i were president, i would make it mandatory to visit theme parks. the experience one has while exploring these whimisical lands cannot be overstated. disney doesn’t count, i want the CORNY and TACKY experience. specifically, i went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which is my favorite theme park. i also am a coaster head, i understand if you aren’t (stop being such a fucking wimp lol jk…maybe) but these places are going to shut down from people not wanting to leave their houses and their tiktok (it is to blame for everything). i would like to see a world where kids have the ability to see these places, and they won’t be able to if we dont take time to have extreme entertainment incorporated into our lives!!! i know they’re expensive. get the cheapest ticket you can and sneak your food in if you must. but just being there, even if at times inconvinient, will fill your soul full of good feelings. go forth my park enthusiasts. (pic is a RCT recreation of my fave coaster: Apollo’s Chariot)
OUT
1) Sleeping in late: just wake up bro. sleeping in past 8 (honestly even 7) is cringe unless you work nights. get your ass out of bed and start the day in the BEST hours you will have. i still have to take an afternoon nap when i do this, but i’ll feel better not having wasted most of my morning. this is half a diss on night owls, because i’m asleep early af, but what are you doing that is productive after 7pm?? literally nothing. when’s the last time you saw the sun rise? i have been adjusting from many layers of jet lag over the past month and every time i sleep in past 9:30am it feels like my day has just been thrown in the fire and wasted entirely. morning persons RISE UP!!!
2) Traveling: it’s stupid honestly and mad expensive. when i see someone going on their dumb little france/italy vacation now i just…scoff. expensive and those places suck, why leave what’s near you? there are hidden gems everywhere around you. when i was young and unexperienced, i thought traveling all the time and going to these places was like the peak goal, but truthfully its not good for the soul. you should see the world, of course. but constantly traveling and being the physical reincarnation of the 2012 tumblr wanderlust tattoo is…repulsive, honestly. like stop lying to yourself, Paris is a horrific city. most other places are tourist traps and you are getting scammed and no one likes you. go show me how much fun you have exploring a local trail and picking some litter up from public grounds. all about the image you portray…ffs.
3) Target: i don’t have too much to say here but i think i used to like Target a lot more than i do now. it’s not special, its mostly overpriced, and the store is messy and full of rude teenagers. the company should have shut after they discontinued their award winning private label chocolate brand Choxie….i will never forget those truffles.
4) Responding to haters: its just a waste of my time to get involved in discourse, and often times i take the bait. there is no nuance or sense of context on the internet, and most people are not listening and just want to get a rise. sooo i’ll stop responding or platforming these dorks. its a way of them getting attention and feeling validated which i’m pretty sure most of them cream in their pants over being noticed by an online girl anyways. wish we could all get along and be awesome, but for the people that are not interested in ever being half decent, i can just pretend they dont exist. that being said, i receive a lot of threats to my safety and privacy, and those accounts do get reported and handled in a more serious manner. basically i will either be ignoring these incel losers or responding with my *****. <3

6) Sanding cabinets: i will be happy once i do this right and its looking good but….i’m not here for the tedious. i dont have the estimated TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to redo my kitchen so the $100 lowes fix will do for now. i didn’t realise kitchens were so expensive, but i think there will be an undeniable charm once it’s all over with :) also as i’m typing this i’ve just remembered i have 2 bathroom cabinets to do this with as well. fucking end me i cant do this lmao. i am happy with my house, but the people who owned it before me basically just painted (poorly) everything white and slapped on plenty of cheap amazon handles. now it is my job to reintroduce color and style into this sad, white asylum. kinda fun but my joints hurt!!!
