Delete xitterJune 21st, 2025: Another Saturday today, I woke up at 6:00am and went on my phone for a bit until I decided to get up and have cereal with milk for breakfast. I then got on my computer for a while to post on Kiwifarms. I wrote in my blog for a bit until it was time for me to catch the bus. Outside was super hot and I just couldn’t tolerate the heat that much longer until the bus got to my stop. I read on Twitter that this OnlyFans prostitute turned Christian (even though she doesn’t believe in the Trinity) Nala Ray was being celebrated in this Christian event against porn, and Ryan Lee (@honorablesaint) was not happy:
<I very much dislike Catholic Inc. with a fiery passion.
Catholic Quotes (@Catholic_Mind) replied:
<I don't blame you.
<This is indirectly opening the door to those who struggle with watching such content.
<No reason to support this.
Ryan Lee wrote:
<Catholic inc: Watch porn? You guys are scum! Anon Catholic accounts? You're a net negative to the faith!
<Catholic inc: Omg you decided to stop doing porn and keep all the money and say you're a Christian now? Let's instantly platform you guuurrlll. Yasss what a story!
With BigHatNate (@BigHatNate) pointing out:
<She's also a protestant and a trinitarian heretic who goes on the whatever podcast and belittles Christians who actually know their faith for telling her she is wrong. She's a fraud.
Ryan Lee replied:
<Exactly. But yes let's all listen to her speak after being a "Christian" for 1.5 years with little to show for it. If you deny that then you're not being Christian!
I got in a bit early to my work and clocked in with my first task being to stock the beverage cooler. It was pretty ok and the next thing I had to do after that was work on cleaning the bathrooms, I emptied the cardboard for Bella’s department and Lebanon thanked me. I got lucky with the fact that Hill was working today so I wouldn’t have to spend extra time on closings. I had some more pointing contests with fAsherah and said hi to Matt once. It was so hot outside that I just tried to stay inside as much as I could. The upper floor was hot except for the offices so I had my first break and my lunch break there. I read the news a bit during my first break to find out that the United States retardedly decided to get dragged into Israel’s shitflinging contest with Iran by sending B-2 bombers to target 3 Iranian nuclear sites. I can’t believe it, I had hoped that Trump in his second term would finally decide to stand up to Netanyahu but he just ended up caving in. When I was trying to go down the stairs after my first break, Biker was taking up the side with the railing so I went down the other side and slid a bit. I worked some more before getting a caprese sandwich from Folsade, she said:
“Hiding in the corner as usual Gemerson?”
I also bought some sea salt and vinegar chips and an Arizona iced tea before clocking out for lunch. Sabrina and Jill were eating lunch at the same time so I sat across from Jill. Jill was eating just an apple and she said it was because she was going to eat later, she even refused some of the chips I offered her. She was just texting on her phone most of the time and I saw that one of her contacts was named “Love Of My Life”, but I decided to ask her what her Instagram is so I could follow her. She asked for my phone so she could enter her account into my phone, she did and I later got an acceptance request. She told me that she lived 35 minutes away by car which was kind of surprising. Jill then left and I checked through her Instagram to find a fuck ton of heavily filtered selfies of her and generous angles, wow. I completed my other tasks when I found out that the men’s bathroom toilet was leaking piss when I went to clean it, or it could’ve been something else because if it was, they’d close the bathroom until it was fixed. Some customer accidentally dropped a wine bottle which meant that Lebanon had to clean it up, I took the wine bottle over to the recycling and some of the wine dripped on me. Eventually it was time for Anne to do her final delivery order of the day and I volunteered to help. I got it put in the truck, but this time we had to bring some hot stuff in trays to the place, we got it packed and we drove there, on the way I asked her:
“Who do you usually take with you on these runs?”
She replied:
“Someone from up front or hopefully from the kitchen, but usually I don’t have a free person so I just go by myself.”
I then added in:
“Tiffany told me that you always take her on these runs!”
“No, I only took her once.”
I told her about my time walking down the street that we were on and was shocked, I told her that I had an appointment to get these airpods fixed on the street but I just missed the bus and it would be an extremely long time to get there (the airpods couldn’t be fixed). On our drive there we saw a car with a wrap that made it multicolored like bismuth and and opened fire hydrant set up with a tire and stick to become a makeshift sprinkler. We got there at exactly 4:00pm and started unloading, it was for this wedding of Maria and Rodriguez, we got the stuff into the back and unwrapped it, the woman who ran the venue looked kind of like Asherah’s boss, she had us set up while I was supposed to fill the aluminum pans with hot water, the party came in early because of the heat and we still weren’t complete, I had to then light the sterno burners with a lighter that they provided for us. We finalized the thing as Anne got the final payment (the total price was $2908.40) and we then drove back. Anne and I started talking about ice cream and told me that I should go to Pick N Save and get some Private Selection blueberry waffle cone ice cream, the small kind because the larger sizes weren’t sold there. She told me that her boyfriend was from Kokomo, Indiana but studies in North Carolina. She said she wanted to move to either North Carolina or South Carolina to live on a farm because our state was too cold. I got this image of the sprinkler:
We finally got back at 5:00pm exactly and while I was sending the lift down, one of the plastic carts slipped and accidentally hit Hill on the head where his glasses were, I immediately went down to check on him and he was thankfully ok, I got my cleaning tasks done and saw Old Ozzy Osborne talking to Paula. Jesse had already left so I got all my tasks done before taking the bus home. I got home and I was super hot, turning down the AC didn’t help, I decided to get a caramel milkshake from this place nearby and then walked back home, I gamed a bit more before taking a shower and trying to go to bed in my furnace of a room. I seriously don’t understand why it’s so hot in there. Also here’s an Instagram story from the Green Bay girl that I needed to add:

June 22nd, 2025: Sunday today, I woke up at 1:55am in the morning because I just couldn’t bear the heat in my room, no matter what temperature I set my AC unit at, it never reached my room even with James’ box fan. So I decided to just take my blanket and one of my pillows into the living room and slept on the couch next to the AC. I drifted off to sleep. I woke up at 6:50am even though I set my alarm for 6:00am sharp. I got up and finished off my cereal but didn’t have time to brew some coffee so I just caught the bus to work. I got in and the first thing I did was brew some coffee in the Keurig machine in the office. After starting on the coffee I went downstairs to check on my task list, it was the usual so I just went to the breakroom for a bit until I had to clock in at 8:24am. I then got started on my first task which was to stock the beverage cooler, it took me quite a while because one of the things which held the item tags broke and wouldn’t stay on any longer. While I was doing a different portion of the beverage cooler, I accidentally opened an aluminum can and it started leaking. I instantly rushed to the back and emptied it, I went back and saw a gallon of milk was expired and then went back to mark that down and dump it out because it was way too old for me to take home and drink. I noticed that fAsherah had styled her hair up with a blue pinwheel. I snuck up on her and blew on the pinwheel to turn it, she turned around and laughed.
“Why do you have that in your hair?”
I asked fAsherah.
“Because I found it and I didn’t have anything else to style up my hair.”
I went on break and bought some vanilla wafers to eat and ate them all. When I got off of my break I had to stock half of the store, I went up to Jesse to ask him how to use the new item scanner and he just told me:
“You’re gonna have to do it old fashioned with pen and paper.”
I had so much despair in me, I hated going back to that method. But I did it regardless. I took some paper and a clipboard to go around writing down all the stuff that I needed. Dodging all the people in the place. I got my list done and then brought a plastic pallet into the warehouse before going on lunch. I had to wait quite a bit to get my order in from Biker because it was so crowded. But I got my tomato salad with an Arizona iced tea and some sea salt flavored chips. I went and ate my stuff up in the office because I needed to cool down there. When I got back I got the pull downstairs and struggled to stock it due to how crowded it was. I remember this one woman with a super tiny skull who was wearing a black sundress and a white hat with an extremely wide brim constantly getting in my way. I got it all stocked and then noticed that fAsherah had taken the pinwheel out of her hair, turns out it kept falling out. One of my next tasks was to vacuum the offices upstairs and that was actually far better since they were all air conditioned. I even had to go into this office that is usually locked because only one person ever uses it. I got the key to get in and saw this sign which said Macrodata Refinement in the room, even though an Optics and Design sign would have fit way more. I continued with my work stuff and I overheard Paula talking about how weird the new song selection was, she said she heard a weird cover of Toto’s Africa. After my second break, I saw Old Ozzy Osborne talking to fAsherah and then I went up to her to say:
“Looks like someone was talking with their favorite customer?”
She then spoke:
“Oh my God, speaking of Old Ozzy Osbone, yesterday I saw Tiffany flirting with him, like dude he’s way older than you.”
I thought this was hilarious but I remembered that Tiffany wasn’t here yesterday.
“Tiffany wasn’t scheduled yesterday.”
She then corrected herself:
“Wait no this was earlier this week!”
I didn’t have any deliveries to run on with Anne, both were small and were 30 minute drives there. But I started on my closing tasks slightly early, me and Hill coordinated to do all of them, around this time a woman came in wearing a bikini and a beach skirt, I don’t really know what they’re called but while I was cleaning the store floor she thanked me and I got kind of panicked, I eventually went outside and I saw the scrunched face lady, she was drinking diet Coke and on a call with someone, she was super nice. There was this other guy that randomly told me:
“Did ya hear, the Thunders beat the Pacers!”
I remembered the names but not much else. I finally clocked out and then hopped on the bus to go to the earlier mass. I was walking there wearing my Queen t-shirt, dark grey dress pants, and my Pentecost medallion, I had a gay Black guy shout out of the window of his car:
“Can I get your number?”
I ignored the f*****. I got into the church while they were busy with something beforehand. I waited outside when I saw someone that looked familiar, turns out it was Staples, I asked her why she was going to mass now, she said that she just got back from being a maid of honor at her friend’s wedding, she was super sweaty like a lot of people, eventually we went in and she just sat in the middle while I sat in the front. The young priest was serving for mass, I have finally decided on a name for him, Palmer. I didn’t feel emotionally good for the mass. I didn’t see the Daeguite for the mass but when I went out, I talked to Palmer and thanked him for the mass, I held the door open for Staples but she just gave me a simple:
“Thanks!”
I didn’t feel good. I went over to the grocery store to buy more cereal and a 12 pack of cream soda. I then took the bus home and got inside, I finished up my blog entry for yesterday when I decided to put some soda in James’ fridge in his room,
I opened it to find there was mold growing in it and a bunch of water along with the soda. I grabbed some sanitizing wipes and rags to wipe it up and clean it out, when I got done with that I decided it would be for the better to keep it open so the mold won’t grow, keeping it plugged in would just result in a higher electricity bill for me. It got late so I took a shower and talked with Macie a bit:
<Im taking a class to learn how to climb them
>When did you become obsessed with climbing?
<My boyfriends sister took me one time, and I really liked it
<So I started going rock climbing with a friend who was into it, and then I roped another friend into it
<And I just really love it as a form of exercise
<When I saw that my cities rec department was hosting this, I thought it would be fun
>Ooh, you have a boyfriend? I kind of got back into it when my cousin’s husband took me.
<Yeah, have been having a bf
>Since when?
I decided to text Mercurius to revive the plans about going to the book store:
>Do you think we can go to the bookstore sometime this week?
>Monday or Tuesday?
He replied:
<Tuesday
<I’m done with that one cleaning job
<So I’m free Tuesday
<And I need some books
I also asked the priest at the center if Mercurius talked to him about the St. Nazianz trip:
>Did Mercurius ever talk to you about a men’s retreat up in St. Nazianz? He mentioned to me that he wanted to ask you about it.
<No I know he went up there himself
I was done, by the way I’m still mad at Asherah, so I’ll say that she’s from Scott, but I won’t dox her fully. And so to bed.

June 23rd, 2025: Sleeping in the living room on the couch was necessary to beat the heat. I woke up at 6:45am because my phone’s alarm didn’t go off when I needed it to do so I just woke up with the sun. I got up and made some off brand lucky charms and brewed some coffee for myself. My room was super hot because I had kept my door closed and not turned the fan on. I grabbed my backpack, put my 210 book Bible in it, headed to my bus stop and took the bus. When I got off I was searing walking to my building, I got into the office and noticed that one door was accidentally left open, so I went in there and put my backpack on the cabinet and turned on the lights in the office, I went over to Seth M to get my laptops from him, he went into this different office and told me to use a different laptop than before. I logged onto that one and I had to set it up. But immediately I had to go to the Monday meetings. I was wearing my blue and white plaid t-shirt but Seth M wasn’t, I sat down and found out Harmony C wasn’t going to be here because no key fob, the boss did his usual long talk about stuff while Seth M just drew and wrote in his journal. At 9:57am I got a text from Brittany saying:
<Oh nice! Yes of course our good ol Model UN days!
We then went around to speak, Elon wasn’t there also but a bit later I noticed that Zarith C and Shima C both had their shoes off. Why, just why? Eventually I spoke and just said some stuff about printing new cards. The guy next to me spike and then the boss said:
“Any last words?”
Before this Hispanic lady went on and on and ended up talking longer than the boss, I was fucking fed up with her with the heat and all. I was prepared to tell her to shut the fuck up but at 10:34am we were finally freed to get some bagels that an employee brought in from Einstein Bros. bagels, which made the wait worthwile, I got a cheese bagel and a blueberry bagel, I put plain cream cheese spread on the cheese bagel and strawberry cream cheese spread on the blueberry bagel. I then went back to my desk and saw someone put the vegetable one on their blueberry bagel. Eww. I got back to my desk and didn’t have much to do when I went back and found Staples cooling herself off with a paper fan. I decided to make one also but it didn’t work well. I tried wetting some paper towels with water and sticking them in the freezer for a short while but those quickly heated up. I was eventually called over by Seth M’s friend to help set up computers for 3 clients, I was told I could get a Coca-Cola can so I filled my mug up with it and ice. There were three clients. The computer I worked on was for this 35 year old (4/1/1990) guy from ‘Congo’. I asked if it was the Republic of the Congo or the Democratic Republic of the Congo but Seth M’s friend refused to tell me. I had issues with the power cord but then got it working but I eventually got it charging. I accidentally activated this 30 minute long update, I went back to the lobby to tell him that it would take a while for him to get it. I had nothing to do for a while until 3:30pm so I just did research on Wikipedia. I found out it’s the Grand Duke’s Official Birthday in Luxembourg today (although Henri’s actual birthday is April 16th, 1955) and that Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire. Knowing Israelites they’re going to break it and attack Iran for fun. I kept seeing Staples use her paper fan and I laughed a bit but she absolutely hated me. I was finally assigned my task at 3:30pm to make new cards for people with more professional photos. I added something at the bottom which said: Issued: 6/23/2025 to distinguish them. I printed a good amount until I accidentally put one of the cards with one side printed in the wrong way (it should always be printed side face down) and it caused the printer to jam, I had to take the ink thing out and it ripped up, but Seth M managed to successfully get it rewrapped for me. I got a text from the Catholic center priest at 4:16pm:
<Hey, just you know I'll order pizza tonight and if you wanted to we'll go swimming afterwards at someone's house close by so you could bring a towel and a swimsuit?
I then completed them all by 4:27pm and dropped them off at Seth M’s desk before heading out to my bus. On the bus it was super crowded but the seat next to this fat lady wasn’t taken so I sat there. When I got to my stop I reached for the rope to signal my stop but the lady next to me did it, I thanked her and got off. I went inside to my place and got situated for a while and wrote in my blog until 6:25pm when I started walking over to the Catholic center. I got there at 6:58pm and saw Markus, Mercurius and Onyx (Padma’s friend)) we all talked, I found out that Mercurius’s girlfriend was from DeForest, Onyx hated his drive of over 40 minute to his internship and that they had an ‘oh shit’ meeting on Mondays, he mentioned suggesting a gun range outside the building but the CEO said:
“That is the one plan we had which wasn’t screwed over by the government.”
Finally the priest came in and told us that we were to fold donation envelopes and put them inside this printout (which had 2 photos of me in them) for the thing and sticker it with 3 round clear stickers on the sides that weren’t folded. Eventually Reuben joined us as did Luigi and Sideburns’ cousin, Sideburns’ crush wearing a Trump Vance 2024 t-shirt, that one Mexican guy who works on a boatline and this other girl who I joked was ‘essentially mixed race’, she had attended the Thursday Bible studies during the last semester. I joked to the girls that I thought TikTok was Satanic and they all laughed. The Honduran was supposed to be there but he hadn’t arrived, the three girls were just eating the pizza while us men were working. We kept telling them to start working until they started working. While Onyx was folding envelopes, I got his finished stack and put them in the printout. The priest had to get more stickers and Markus talked about the distinct lack of available TLM in Racine, he said he was on disability from being a veteran (code word for he’s not actually disabled) I saw that the Mexican guy was doing it super fast and he joked:
“It’s because I’m a Mexican.”
I decided to fold with the girls later and I heard them talk about Sideburns’ cousin’s boyfriend, she was talking about how she met him, it was at a social event but I remember her saying:
“It was so attractive how persistent he was!”
I was set aghast at this.
“That’s how you get a restraining order.”
The ‘mixed race’ girl added in:
“No you have to be super creepy to do that.”
I said.
“But that hardly happens!”
The girl added in failing to reassure me, I just left and sat elsewhere. I had my slice of pizza for dinner and Sideburns’ crush talked about setting up a birthday party on July 1st because that was when she turned 21. When the priest came back, we got to stickering and. I told the guys there about the story of me getting asked for my phone number yesterday by the gay Black guy, the priest stated:
“Alright, let's change the topic!”
They laughed for a bit before I went over to the girls to tell them what happened because the ‘mixed race’ one was curious, I told them and the priest told me to change topic again. We got all done with folding and I got changed for the event, my swimtrunks were kind of loose around my waist but the strings were tied extremely tight. I then got in the car with Sideburns’ cousin and the ‘mixed-race’ girl and saw the rosary that Sideburns’ cousin had hanging on her rearview mirror. I asked her where she got it and she said it was a gift. It looked super marvelous with all the different colored stones.

I found out it’s the Grand Duke’s Official Birthday in Luxembourg today (although Henri’s actual birthday is April 16th, 1955) and that Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire. Knowing Israelites they’re going to break it and attack Iran for fun. I kept seeing Staples use her paper fan and I laughed a bit but she absolutely hated me. I was finally assigned my task at 3:30pm to make new cards for people with more professional photos. I added something at the bottom which said: Issued: 6/23/2025 to distinguish them. I printed a good amount until I accidentally put one of the cards with one side printed in the wrong way (it should always be printed side face down) and it caused the printer to jam, I had to take the ink thing out and it ripped up, but Seth M managed to successfully get it rewrapped for me. I got a text from the Catholic center priest at 4:16pm:
<Hey, just you know I'll order pizza tonight and if you wanted to we'll go swimming afterwards at someone's house close by so you could bring a towel and a swimsuit?
I then completed them all by 4:27pm and dropped them off at Seth M’s desk before heading out to my bus. On the bus it was super crowded but the seat next to this fat lady wasn’t taken so I sat there. When I got to my stop I reached for the rope to signal my stop but the lady next to me did it, I thanked her and got off. I went inside to my place and got situated for a while and wrote in my blog until 6:25pm when I started walking over to the Catholic center. I got there at 6:58pm and saw Markus, Mercurius and Onyx (Padma’s friend)) we all talked, I found out that Mercurius’s girlfriend was from DeForest, Onyx hated his drive of over 40 minute to his internship and that they had an ‘oh shit’ meeting on Mondays, he mentioned suggesting a gun range outside the building but the CEO said:
“That is the one plan we had which wasn’t screwed over by the government.”
Finally the priest came in and told us that we were to fold donation envelopes and put them inside this printout (which had 2 photos of me in them) for the thing and sticker it with 3 round clear stickers on the sides that weren’t folded. Eventually Reuben joined us as did Luigi and Sideburns’ cousin, Sideburns’ crush wearing a Trump Vance 2024 t-shirt, that one Mexican guy who works on a boatline and this other girl who I joked was ‘essentially mixed race’, she had attended the Thursday Bible studies during the last semester. I joked to the girls that I thought TikTok was Satanic and they all laughed. The Honduran was supposed to be there but he hadn’t arrived, the three girls were just eating the pizza while us men were working. We kept telling them to start working until they started working. While Onyx was folding envelopes, I got his finished stack and put them in the printout. The priest had to get more stickers and Markus talked about the distinct lack of available TLM in Racine, he said he was on disability from being a veteran (code word for he’s not actually disabled) I saw that the Mexican guy was doing it super fast and he joked:
“It’s because I’m a Mexican.”
I decided to fold with the girls later and I heard them talk about Sideburns’ cousin’s boyfriend, she was talking about how she met him, it was at a social event but I remember her saying:
“It was so attractive how persistent he was!”
I was set aghast at this.
“That’s how you get a restraining order.”
The ‘mixed race’ girl added in:
“No you have to be super creepy to do that.”
I said.
“But that hardly happens!”
The girl added in failing to reassure me, I just left and sat elsewhere. I had my slice of pizza for dinner and Sideburns’ crush talked about setting up a birthday party on July 1st because that was when she turned 21. When the priest came back, we got to stickering and. I told the guys there about the story of me getting asked for my phone number yesterday by the gay Black guy, the priest stated:
“Alright, let's change the topic!”
They laughed for a bit before I went over to the girls to tell them what happened because the ‘mixed race’ one was curious, I told them and the priest told me to change topic again. We got all done with folding and I got changed for the event, my swimtrunks were kind of loose around my waist but the strings were tied extremely tight. I then got in the car with Sideburns’ cousin and the ‘mixed-race’ girl and saw the rosary that Sideburns’ cousin had hanging on her rearview mirror. I asked her where she got it and she said it was a gift. It looked super marvelous with all the different colored stones.

June 23rd, 2025 [Continued]:
We got to the house and went back to the pool. I remember there being a cow inflatable that the priest floated on at first, I was the first in the water. I swam around a lot until the priest got off the inflatable cow and Sideburns’ cousin got on, we all spun her around as she said she didn’t want to go into the water. Luigi said that I looked Italian, I told him I have no known Italian heritage. After she got off, I hopped on and whenever I ended up near someone I shouted:
“Spin me [name]!”
I did that to most people but Luigi told me:
“Say ‘Spin me Luigi!” one more time and I’ll flip you over!”
“Luigi spin me!”
He flipped me over and I just couldn’t stop laughing. Eventually Onyx got on and we spun him around. The ‘mixed-race’ girl was in a tinier pink tube and asked me to spin her around a few times. I did that for her. A bit later we had a contest to see who could do the most backflips underwater and Sideburns’ crush started off with 2 and Onyx did 3, I first upped them with 5 but I was lightheaded then and the second time I got 7 but hit my head on the floor of the pool, and I got out. Markus was the only one to never go in the pool and Sideburns’ cousin left early to keep a sleep schedule. While I was drying off, I heard Reuben talk about how he has severe alcoholic genetics but only drinks wine for the flavor. I talked to the Mexican a bit and he told me that he usually drinks tequila and I joked that he is stereotypical Mexican. He said to me:
“Dude you’re like the man of wings!”
I was confused.
“Man of wings?”
He clarified:
“At that social, remember when you introduced those two women to Mercurius?”
I said:
“Oh yeah, but Mercurius already has a girlfriend, plus one of them was 37.”
I overheard a guy asking the priest about Icons, the priest talked about how they are deliberately somewhat abstract to guide the viewer to be inspired to holiness, which he contrasted with ‘a photo of someone crucified’ that had left no imagination to the viewer and has done all the thinking for them. He was playing some classical music on his phone. But after the ‘mixed race’ girl left, the Honduran came in, he didn’t get in the pool sadly. I left after a few minutes and walked all the way home through the rich neighborhood. I had to reroute due to construction and while I was walking along my road, I passed a bunch of loud college students and a party in someone’s backyard that made me jealous. I finally saw the light of this nearby restaurant and I ran across the street (in my flip-flops). I got in and then immediately went to the bathroom because I had been holding in my urine for so long and then took a shower in the dark before heading to sleep on the couch, taking the cover off of my blanket to make it cooler.

June 24th, 2025: Once again, my alarm on my phone has failed me. I woke up at 6:30am because of the sunlight and got myself milk with cereal for breakfast and coffee with the last of my hazelnut creamer. I just browsed Twitter for a bit until it was nearly time to head out for my volunteering. The bus ride was nice and while I was taking it. I saw the aluminum can collector outside one of the bus stops reaching into the garbage can to fish out cans. I finally got to my stop and walked over in the heat, realizing that I didn’t bring my LED clock fan. It wasn’t as bad as yesterday. But I got in early through the door that had issues shutting. I put my stuff down and went up to the front to realize that nobody was available to be the receptionist so I just played that role. It was as simple as pressing this button on the desk whenever I saw someone outside the office. It was simple for a while when I had another employee ask me:
“Are you going to be at the front desk all day?”
I replied:
“No, I’m just filling in until someone comes who can do it.”
I waited there for a bit longer until someone came to replace me. I went to my spot and then went to Seth M’s office to grab the C50 card printer, my new laptop and the cords, which included the USB-C multi port, the USB to the printer, and the power cord to the printer. I got it all set up when I gave this one girl whom I will be calling Tia her card, on her old card she had a heavily filtered image of herself on it but I replaced it with a professional image of her. I gave it to her when Shima C was in her office with her and she wasn’t happy:
“Umm can you reprint this?”
I hesitated but obliged. I printed one with slightly less flaws but then decided to print a third one in case she gets mad at the second one but put the printed side down and got it jammed. I had to rip it out and bring it to Seth M in shame that I ripped up the roll of ink. He got it wound up and then I continued printing. I had to reprint two of them, the one for the Ukrainian guy (Zach A gave me a misspelled name) and for this other guy that I got the photo mixed up (they were all nondescriptly named and a lot of people don’t have their name displayed at their spot) I printed them out and got it to them. The Daeguite was there today but I didn’t talk to her as much. Staples was being kind of an asshole all day. At 12:03pm The Daeguite clocked out for the day but we didn’t talk as much as last time eventually made my way out to lunch in the rain, I got some pizza from the pizza place nearby and sat alone in a big booth while watching the others, including some neon green t-shirt wearing construction workers, eat with each other. It made me jealous. I went back into my volunteering place and got back in to do work, which was printing out some more cards. at 1:54pm I texted Mercurius:
>I’ll be there sometime after 4:30pm tonight
He replied at 2:02pm:
<I’m only free until 5 today
<Do you think that will work
>No.
<Yeah I was originally going to head over there at 3
I finally got done with that and had nothing to do for the rest of the day. I overheard Tia saying that she was on a diet even though she wasn’t even fat, just vain and obsessed with looks. A while later in the kitchen, I was refilling my cup of water when Tia and this other woman from work was there, because Tia and I had the same color palette for our shirts (blue, light blue, red, and mostly white) despite wildly different designs, she said:
“Oh my God you two are twinning!”
I didn’t respond because I was pissed off at her, I kept drinking water. It was getting pretty late and I just kept browsing Wikipedia until I got a text at 3:54pm from Joseph saying:
<Hello how r u hope things r going well missf u sunday
I did not answer until later, I decided to pack up and leave a few minutes early so I could catch the bus. While I was walking over a bridge, I noticed that there was a lot of trash in the water:
I am disappointed in myself for not picking it up. I walked over there and got on after some time and I texted him:
>I went to [more reverent parish] on Sunday.
I entered my home and didn’t have much to do for the day. I didn’t have the energy to get on my big computer to play games but I did watch Redeemed Zoomer’s new video on Christians and their views on Israel, it explained dispensationalism, the Scofield Reference Bible, and the phenomenon of boomers worshiping Israel which permanently ruined American politics. After a while I emptied the last of my pasta into my red bowl and heated that up in the microwave. I got that out and stirred it before putting it back in for a while to heat up. I got that out and ate it while drinking milk. It was getting late so I decided to sleep in my bed for once with the box fan on. I tried to drink some of the sake I still had but I didn’t like the flavor of it because it was cold. I took a shower and went to sleep.

June 25th, 2025: I got up at 6:00am in the morning from the sunlight and got all dressed up in dress pants and Catholic t-shirt. I got a text from the missionary yesterday asking me if I wanted to evangelize and I said yes, he told me that I should be there by 10:30am, just before 9:30am I started to walk to the bus stop that I needed. I accidentally missed my stop so I kept walking down along the line until I got to this one stop where the bus arrived soon, when I got on I noticed that I was the only White guy on the bus, it was mostly Indians and some Black people, a few more White people got on but then I got off at my stop and walked to the back of the missionary’s house and knocked on the door, he let me in and told me that he was in this meeting with a new guy and to sweep the floor. I decided to pour some hand sanitizer on this dirty sponge because I heard they have the most germs of all household items. To get the dustpan and broom, I had to walk down a set of stairs, and then up two more sets of stairs to the second apartment that they also own. I grabbed it and started sweeping the lower kitchen. I found a lot of ants scurrying around when sweeping the floor so I started sweeping outside the kitchen and got more ants, walking over to the trashcan necessitated me tapping the dustpan to shake the ants, thus making them fall back down to not escape. Soon the new guy came out of the office room, whom I will be calling Stuart. He just arrived here from the state of Washington today and remarked about the issue with the bill forcing the breakage of the seal of confession, we then went into the chapel for the reading of the Liturgy of the Hours, we 3 did that and then got out, I was gifted a black rosary by Stuart and tried to wear it like the missionary did, whom I will be calling Cliffe, but I had trouble getting it closed up so I just wore it like a necklace. Stuart told us he used to be a Pentecostal until he recently converted to Catholicism, apparently there were 9 bedrooms in the house yet only 4 people lived there in total even if it could house 18. I grabbed a lot of pamphlets and put them in my drawstring bag before we headed out. The first person we encountered was Kermit, the guy who was on the grill. He mentioned that he got these expensive shoes from over 40 years ago that set him back $3,000 which he related to getting a disease in his right foot that the doctors thought was gout but the treatment didn’t do anything. His foot ended up swelling up to the size of a football before they had to cut off a few toes. He was wearing an “I love my daughter” hat, held a shovel in his hand, and had an injury on the top of his right hand. I said to him:
“Hey dude you’re bleeding!”
He looked at his hand:
“I don’t know how I got that.”
Stuart said
We prayed for him and then walked to the bus stop. Stuart is from Whidbey Island. We walked to the bus stop and then encountered this guy named Deon. Deon had encountered Cliffe beforehand and I heard him talking about how he was shot in the back of the head in Chicago and his brother was shot to death. We got off at our stop and then walked to the cathedral and got lunch. I saw NT my coworker sitting outside but didn’t interact with them. Julie was in line and we talked with her for a while until they let us in. While in line I saw a painting which had Buddhist themes on it, I was absolutely disappointed that they would even allow this in the cathedral. I sat with Cliffe while Stuart sat with this other table. They were serving peaches and I ate one but accidentally dropped it and it rolled on my leg to the floor. Cliffe gave me a second one. We finished up eating before heading outside, there was this old Black guy with white skin spots who was talking to himself constantly, initially neither Cliffe nor I had the courage to talk to him (Stuart was still inside) there was this old Black lady walking her cat with one of those carts, I went over to the lady and asked her:
“What’s your cat’s name?”
She pulled the black cat in.
“Get away from me.”
Cliffe finally worked up the courage to talk to him and he just rambled on about how he was at a super low point in his life and something about a White guy and a Black guy on the bus. Cliffe gave up after a while and went over to the park to do a Bible study. This other Black woman joined us named Yolanda and we went over the readings for today. Julie didn’t seem to have her unibrow anymore but she was feeding the birds. We got through the first reading (Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18) when I pondered if the number of descendants of Abraham has exceeded the number of stars in the sky based on the number of Jewish and Arabic people born throughout time. We continued studying when this car pulled up and out came an angry Black lady shouting:
“YOU NEED TO BE QUIET RIGHT NOW!”
She was yelling at her child for something because of how disrespectful they were being. We continued and I found out that Stuart was born May 2nd, 2005. Cliffe talked about the 4 temperaments and how he was sanguine, I remember taking a test before and I got melancholic. Wikipedia had this nifty old drawing of the 4 temperaments:
We then started to make our way down to Cliffe’s usual evangelism spot and encountered a bunch of different people along the way:
“Hey dude you’re bleeding!”
He looked at his hand:
“I don’t know how I got that.”

We then started to make our way down to Cliffe’s usual evangelism spot and encountered a bunch of different people along the way:
- Brown guy wearing an untied brown durag whose mom raised him and his sister before she couldn’t anymore and was forced to be raised in this Catholic homeless shelter, describes him, he was talking about his girlfriend of 2 weeks. He asked what a rosary was and then Stuart decided to take my rosary off of me at 2:08pm and I sadly did not resist. He mentioned thinking Feminism was a mistake as Stuart talked about reading The Case for Patriarchy. He said he was practicing Islam and while we were walking, we saw a high cost bike dented and an ambulance nearby because some guy intentionally opened his car door on a biker. I gave him one of the pamphlets I had and we walked off.
- Black guy working as a security guard for a hotel that was renovated to be a “data hotel” Stuart asked if Palantir was one of the clients and he said that it’s possible. He talked about his life and how he grew up Baptist going to this Baptist church north-northwest of our current position. The church had this pastor there that died in 2015 which led to his grandson replacing him as pastor and running it until now. We got into a bit of a debate on how many books there should be in the Bible, with him asking why we should not use the Ethiopian Orthodox Church’s 88 book canon. He was nice enough to show us into the hotel a bit, Stuart and I found the two mirrors on the side amazing before we went back out.
- First person at the bus stop intersection was a guy that Cliffe knew named Curtis III, his story was that he had always struggled with an alcohol addiction but now his grandmother died 2 days ago and he was really losing it, he had a son CurtIs IV. He pulled out a plastic bottle of vodka from his sweatshirt that he said was just water. Cliffe offered to pray over him when Stuart gave him a hug. I noticed that he was crying. We gave him his prayer.
- Mexican guy that refused to talk to us, pretty sure he’s my coworker.
- 50 year old Black guy from Mississippi. When Cliffe asked him if he believes in God he said he believed in Allah, when questioned further, he said that he despised that the Christianity he grew up was segregated by the color of their skin and that the preachers were former pimps and thugs using their power to escape any consequences for their past ways. Cliffe was able to get him to open up in such a way that he had to have the Holy Spirit working through him. I asked if he wanted any pamphlets but he refused them. Had to be the longest we have talked to somebody. This is when Stuart called him “A Catholic Cliffe”
- A middle-aged guy Stuart and I tried approaching ourselves to put what we learned from Cliffe to the test but to no avail.
- This fat Black lady with extremely short hair that we saw wandering around a bit that had a shirt which exposed a lot of her cleavage, she came to us begging for money but Cliffe had none
- Two Jehovah’s Witnesses standing at the bus stop area off to the side with their pamphlets about not despairing over climate change, there was a White man and a Black woman. The White man said he grew up Catholic until he was 11 when he converted to his current religion. We had a debate on the trinity where Cliffe brought up ‘Before Abraham was, I am’ and how God couldn’t be all loving if there wasn’t a person to be created. Another woman joined and I talked to her before they packed up to leave for a 4:30 appointment.

June 25th, 2025: [Continued] We finished up after that and went to our bus stop to debrief. Stuart brough up how Black people were much more receptive to what we said as compared to White people. We eventually got and did our mid-evening liturgy of the hours on the bus towards the back, we did the first reading for yesterday and then the one for today because the 1 Samuel readings tied into each other about the rise of David, his friendship with Jonathan, and Saul’s initial hatred of him. When I looked up I saw Krystal and said hi to her and she returned the greeting but we didn’t get her involved. She got off and then I checked my phone to find out that my sister’s friend who I will be calling Taylor had followed me on Instagram, I followed him back. I went back to writing in this diary/blog when Stuart asked me:
“What are you writing?”
I answered honestly:
“I’m writing in my diary, I write my entries for the previous day today. Don’t worry I’ll write you down.”
We then got off at our stop and entered the dinner place. I was talking when Father Malachi said:
“Gemerson, I recognize that voice!”
We introduced Stuart to Father Malachi and more people ended up coming in later. Including Palmer, the South African, and Gerrardo, I haven’t seen Gerrardo in a long time which was super interesting, we had some amazing chicken and salad as Malachi played some country music, he said he was a Morgan Wallen guy despite looking nothing like a typical listener of Morgan Wallen, He also played some Josh Garrels because he’s Christian. Cliffe and I then went out to do our Evening prayer from the liturgy of the hours and then went out to where the Eucharistic adoration was being held. I sat with Cliffe, Stuart, and Gerrardo and prayed, I tried to pray the rosary without the rosary but failed. Elizabeth, Sideburns, one girl I met on Juneteenth, Quinn, this old guy I saw at the cookout at Cliffe’s place, and a few others were there. I was feeling kind of depressed but I got over it and decided to get into line for confession, but the mass rolled around I could get to confession, mass went over as normal and I was still feeling awful and couldn’t get myself to say most of the words, but once mass was done I first talked to the Juneteenth girl, she was a food volunteer and talked about learning Latin in school that she forgot. I talked to some more people when I talked to Quinn and this woman who he was frequently seen with, I talked to her one on one and I will be calling her Quinci, they knew each other because Quinn’s cousin married Quinci’s sister sometime in August 2 years ago, she was super nice and I got her Instagram before I had to head back and take a shower before going to sleep in the much nicer temperature.

“What are you writing?”
I answered honestly:
“I’m writing in my diary, I write my entries for the previous day today. Don’t worry I’ll write you down.”
We then got off at our stop and entered the dinner place. I was talking when Father Malachi said:
“Gemerson, I recognize that voice!”

Why are you listening to LamarJune 24th, 2025: Once again, my alarm on my phone has failed me. I woke up at 6:30am because of the sunlight and got myself milk with cereal for breakfast and coffee with the last of my hazelnut creamer. I just browsed Twitter for a bit until it was nearly time to head out for my volunteering. The bus ride was nice and while I was taking it. I saw the aluminum can collector outside one of the bus stops reaching into the garbage can to fish out cans. I finally got to my stop and walked over in the heat, realizing that I didn’t bring my LED clock fan. It wasn’t as bad as yesterday. But I got in early through the door that had issues shutting. I put my stuff down and went up to the front to realize that nobody was available to be the receptionist so I just played that role. It was as simple as pressing this button on the desk whenever I saw someone outside the office. It was simple for a while when I had another employee ask me:
“Are you going to be at the front desk all day?”
I replied:
“No, I’m just filling in until someone comes who can do it.”
I waited there for a bit longer until someone came to replace me. I went to my spot and then went to Seth M’s office to grab the C50 card printer, my new laptop and the cords, which included the USB-C multi port, the USB to the printer, and the power cord to the printer. I got it all set up when I gave this one girl whom I will be calling Tia her card, on her old card she had a heavily filtered image of herself on it but I replaced it with a professional image of her. I gave it to her when Shima C was in her office with her and she wasn’t happy:
“Umm can you reprint this?”
I hesitated but obliged. I printed one with slightly less flaws but then decided to print a third one in case she gets mad at the second one but put the printed side down and got it jammed. I had to rip it out and bring it to Seth M in shame that I ripped up the roll of ink. He got it wound up and then I continued printing. I had to reprint two of them, the one for the Ukrainian guy (Zach A gave me a misspelled name) and for this other guy that I got the photo mixed up (they were all nondescriptly named and a lot of people don’t have their name displayed at their spot) I printed them out and got it to them. The Daeguite was there today but I didn’t talk to her as much. Staples was being kind of an asshole all day. At 12:03pm The Daeguite clocked out for the day but we didn’t talk as much as last time eventually made my way out to lunch in the rain, I got some pizza from the pizza place nearby and sat alone in a big booth while watching the others, including some neon green t-shirt wearing construction workers, eat with each other. It made me jealous. I went back into my volunteering place and got back in to do work, which was printing out some more cards. at 1:54pm I texted Mercurius:
>I’ll be there sometime after 4:30pm tonight
He replied at 2:02pm:
<I’m only free until 5 today
<Do you think that will work
>No.
<Yeah I was originally going to head over there at 3
I finally got done with that and had nothing to do for the rest of the day. I overheard Tia saying that she was on a diet even though she wasn’t even fat, just vain and obsessed with looks. A while later in the kitchen, I was refilling my cup of water when Tia and this other woman from work was there, because Tia and I had the same color palette for our shirts (blue, light blue, red, and mostly white) despite wildly different designs, she said:
“Oh my God you two are twinning!”
I didn’t respond because I was pissed off at her, I kept drinking water. It was getting pretty late and I just kept browsing Wikipedia until I got a text at 3:54pm from Joseph saying:
<Hello how r u hope things r going well missf u sunday
I did not answer until later, I decided to pack up and leave a few minutes early so I could catch the bus. While I was walking over a bridge, I noticed that there was a lot of trash in the water:
I am disappointed in myself for not picking it up. I walked over there and got on after some time and I texted him:
>I went to [more reverent parish] on Sunday.
I entered my home and didn’t have much to do for the day. I didn’t have the energy to get on my big computer to play games but I did watch Redeemed Zoomer’s new video on Christians and their views on Israel, it explained dispensationalism, the Scofield Reference Bible, and the phenomenon of boomers worshiping Israel which permanently ruined American politics. After a while I emptied the last of my pasta into my red bowl and heated that up in the microwave. I got that out and stirred it before putting it back in for a while to heat up. I got that out and ate it while drinking milk. It was getting late so I decided to sleep in my bed for once with the box fan on. I tried to drink some of the sake I still had but I didn’t like the flavor of it because it was cold. I took a shower and went to sleep.
