Anybody want to place bets that she’s not gonna go on the Saturday date?
 
February 13th, 2025: I completed my German homework due before class at 10:30am, which included this one thing where I had to do this recording of me speaking German. In my German class we watched the trailer for this movie called Lola Rennt and it was clear from all the other people that everybody wanted to watch that out of the other two movies (System Crasher and I'm Your Man, only two people raised their hand for each of them) and we did this discussion thing where we asked others their ages and what languages they spoke, Quentin said he was 18 and most people were around the 18 to 20 year old range, with this one girl with prominent ears being 24 years old, another guy being 26, and the teacher being "over 30". For the languages part I was the only one to say Esperanto and Quentin was the only one to say Latin, the teacher passionately defended Esperanto. After that I didn't have my second class because the professor called in sick so I went home for a bit to do some more homework before I had to go to my lab. In lab the task was to create this C program which took an array of size 5 and sorted it using bubble sort, I got it all completed but I wasn't able to get it to sort an example array [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] into its correct order [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] until I asked the TA and he pointed out that I never called the function in main.c, after that it worked and I was free to go. I had a carrot for dinner and then I messaged Angela about the homecoming dance when I went to it and she said she didn't have a proper dress for it, I told her to just wear a button up and some fancy pants, she took my advice and she was there by 7:20pm. We flirted a bit and got some drinks before she dragged me out of the room to kiss. After that I get this cheap lighting fixture and decide to wrap it around my arm and turn it on. I saw this one girl who I went to the ice cream event with and her boyfriend and she was mocking me the entire time. After the dance me and Angela kiss once again before we each head back home. While I was gaming I get a call from my father talking about how work has been for him, his CEO has been interviewing at other companies after being fired because it won't take effect until a few months pass, he recommends that I take a plane out to Denver, Colorado to visit my sister and my cousins for spring break, he talks about getting some days off for his work and I ask him if he gets Casimir Pulaski Day off of work but he says he doesn't anymore. I take a shower, complete Super Mario Bros (the All Stars edition), take a shower, and then go to bed.

February 14th, 2025: Fridays without work are the best. When I woke up I did it a bit early and then worked on my Biblejak for the day. I had 2 s’more poptarts for breakfast and some coffee. I wished my aunt (Thing Alpha, Thing Beta, and Jared's mom) a happy birthday and she was glad, she even sent me a picture of her cat Monty. I played some Team Fortress 2 and Freeciv until 12:00pm when I had a carrot for lunch and tried out the Steam port of the original Baldur’s Gate, I did some progress before I ended up getting Imoen killed in that one house filled with spiders so I just quit and reset. I remembered that I had the assignment for German class where I had to watch Run Lola Run and I enjoyed it very much, the funny part about the movie is the fact that the German obsession with punctuality can only be overpowered by reversing time (Because Lola has to get 100,000 Deutschmarks to her boyfriend Manni in 20 minutes because his bag of money for his mob boss was stolen by a homeless guy.) I wrote part of a report on it before heading to the library on campus to work on it more. I discussed going to get dinner at this pizza place at 6:30pm with Joseph because I wanted to go to this club which started at 5:00pm but it was canceled so I shifted it back to 5:30pm. I got to the pizza place at 5:10pm and Joseph got there at 5:20pm so we ordered a pizza with sausage on his side with banana peppers on my side. It ended up taking us 40 minutes for our pizza but it ended up being heart shaped which was really nice. Joseph talked about how they weren’t hosting Ash Wednesday at the church we go to even though we have more priests now and also the fact that he had 5 other siblings and many grand nieces and nephews. We talk more church politics until the couple from behind us gets up and it turns out that they knew Joseph and they said hi to us and I am introduced to both of them. I find out that the husband was converted to a United Methodist by his wife while attending the Catholic Church we go to. At 6:45pm we leave and I walk home with the leftovers to try and go to this basketball game at 7:00pm. I check the website to get free tickets but it turns out that I can’t get them due to it being too late. So I watched this video about EmperorTigerstar giving his review of Civilization VII. I then got a Snapchat from Vannie saying:
<do you have a car
I respond with:
>No, why?
She says:
<my girlfriend keeps getting parking tickets and she lives on the same street as you, ur supposed to get parking pass for school but they make it impossible it’s like a scam to do more parking tickets.
I then asked her if she wanted me to get them some drinks and she asks what I have because I should come over sometime to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race with them while being the “honorary faggot” (their words not mine), I said:
>What about a semi-honorary bisexual?
She responded:
<Coming out?
I was confused.
>Wait you want me to come over now?
She explained:
<I meant like are you coming out?
>No I’m straight.
The thing with Angela that I didn’t mention is that she can not eat gluten so I told her I don’t think the diner I go to has any gluten free options so she suggested that we go to this gyro place nearby and I agreed because I’ve gone there before and enjoyed the food. I then had a conversation with this guy about his roommate moving out that I was friends with before the start of my freshman year of college, he’s a King James Version only believer. He said he needed a roommate to move in but the move in date for him was August while I needed to move out by the end of May/start of June. He said we should discuss this further as I went to sleep.

March 23rd, 2024: Had an encounter with an IRL Lee today on the bus, there was this rude black homeless lady that yelled at me and she is infamous across town for the way she acts, her name is Cookie apparently and she spits on random people, oh yeah and I got to cut cheese as a part of my job. I also had Mac N Cheese from a restaurant for dinner tonight.
update on this person
 
February 15th, 2025: First day back at work, I uploaded my Japanese flagjaks and my daily biblejak before having some s’more poptarts for breakfast because I didn’t have any milk or cereal. I took the bus to work and had to walk through the snow to get to my job. My task list was pretty ok and I got through it all before I had my hot chocolate for my first break, which I ended up having an hour early. Sabrina’s birthday was on February 11th according to my scheduling app, so she got a late happy birthday wish, I asked her how old she was and she said she was 20 so I congratulated her. I had to portion some stuff today which included these peanut butter buckeyes (imagine Reese’s peanut butter cups but with more chocolate,) some sesame sticks, Swedish fish, and the worst of all, some fine ground chickpea flour which left a mess everywhere, during the portioning Ignacio told em about how back when he used to work in Chicago, he had to do portioning for this wall which was 35 feet long, he showed me a picture and the selection compared to our store was amazing. Lunch was a large prosciutto sandwich but the people making it skimped out on the balsamic vinaigrette. I tried some balsamic vinegar sauce out that was being sampled and I loved it. I got assigned more tasks to do by Jesse which included mopping upstairs, but I had to start closings by the time I got around to it so I just started closings early and then clocked out at 5:30pm, I picked up an unlabeled can of meat sauce in the back and took it home before I had to walk to the Greek place to have my dinner date with Angela. Just before I was going to leave I got this call from someone in town, he said he was this guy running in a special election as an alderman, he said he is running on replacing the private energy company with a public one and building more housing, I talked about how a lot of the city is zoned for multi-unit residential buildings but it is mostly used as single family housing. I mentioned that our city had the most competitive rental market in the country. He then invited me to this celebration party for his election next Tuesday at 8:00pm. I then left for the date and got there at 6:05pm, she messaged me:
<I’m gonna take a quick shower before setting out for [food place], see you soon ❤️❤️
I messaged her back:
>Ok will see you soon!
I ordered my food and then waited around for a bit before I started to eat my fries that I got, she ended up getting there at 6:30pm and we chatted for quite a while about a bunch of different things, like how her dog’s 13th birthday is tomorrow, she lost her eye to eye cancer and now she has a glass eye, she can’t digest milk but can tolerate cheese just fine. After a bit she gives me her pita bread and we walk back to my place, by the time we get there, Enosh is in his room with the light on and we went into my room, cuddling and making out. Her bellbottom jeans were kind of wet at the bottom so she talked about taking them off but I said not to because it would have been weird, so I told her to stuff this towel up the bottom of her pants. After like an hour she decides to head home so I ask her to text me when she gets home, she does after 20 minutes and she says she had an amazing time and that she would like to do so again. I then game some more, take a shower, and go to bed.

February 16th, 2025: Sunday is a lovely day when you don't have much else to do. Breakfast was yet again s'more flavored poptarts because I didn't have any milk or cereal, I made some coffee and had it black because I didn't have any creamer either and adding just sugar would be a weird way to have coffee. I take the bus in the cold and eventually make my way to work. My task list for the day had me doing the beverage cooler and also sweeping out the garage. For my first break I made myself some free hot chocolate from the office upstairs with the Keurig machine but I reduced it to 10 fluid ounces down from 12 fluid ounces because last time it was kind of watery. While I was cleaning out the garage I decided to grab the snow shovel they had in there and use it to shovel some of the snow, I mainly focused on picking up some of the sludge and dumping it into a drain so that it is actually out of the way, I later focused on dealing with the sludge near the sidewalk so people wouldn't have to get their shoes all wet. My lunch was a Philly Italian Beef sandwich that I got the 94 year old owner of the store to pay for my sandwich along with Mr. Medici while I bought an Arizona Iced Tea, as it was Bert’s 13th birthday today I made sure to tell Angela to wish him a happy birthday, I tell her:
>Give him some prosciutto!
She replies:
<If there is prosciutto to be given, I swear upon my honor, Bert shall taste it
I then ask:
>Have you ever tried prosciutto before cutie?
Her response was:
<Once, but I can’t remember what my opinion on it was
>I love prosciutto so much.
<I’m gonna have to try it sometime soon, so I can develop an informed opinion on it’s virtues
>It’s really good but kind of expensive.
<I shall trade the prosciutto merchant three goats and a jug of wine for it
<I’m relieved that it isn’t a requirement for Catholic parents to name their child after a saint who’s feast day corresponds with the birth. Cause there’s not a lot of viable girl names for May 20th

>They just didn’t look hard enough!
<I mean, they could have gone with Austregisilus, or Plautilla
<But then how would I ever find a keychain with my name on it at a rest stop in Ohio?

>I like the second one better.
>The first time I found a keychain with my name on it was in Ireland.

I told Vannie that I realized that their girlfriend looked more bisexual than lesbian, so basically they would both be bisexual. A bit later during my lunch break, I saw fAsherah come in and she immediately tried to playfully punch me but I blocked it, she then kept trying to fake punch me as I blocked them all.
“Do you have an older sibling?” She asked.
“Yes I have one older sister, how could you tell?”
“Because you were so good at deflecting my punches”
“My sister didn’t really punch me, do you have any older siblings?”
“Well my stepsister is like a week older than me.”
“My parents aren’t divorced.”
“Hahahahahaha!”
I then go back to work as fAsherah talks to Mr. Blundstone. A bit later while pulling sauces from upstairs to store downstairs I see fAsherah again and we just point at each other. She then asks me if I have ever watched the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers because at the end of the movie there is this guy that just points at the camera and starts screaming. I saw the clip before but I never knew that it was from that movie. I had to go outside into the cold to stock the lasagnas on Jesse’s orders, the unique thing about this time is that I was told to rotate the lasagnas this time so I waited for them to sell before stocking them. Cleaning the bathrooms was one of my tasks for the day but I didn’t have to clean any feces off of the toilets. I got to leave a bit early because I got all my tasks done on time; however, there was a gap in the bus I usually take so I had to walk to the next stop. I bought some recently expired food I got at a discount. I waited for the bus and then had to walk home in the cold a distance before I finally got back to my apartment. I had some of the leftover gyros for dinner because Enosh wasn’t home. I opened Snapchat to find out that the King James Bible guy, who I will just be calling James, sent me this message:
<Are you available tomorrow or this week to meet up and discuss the apartment situation?
I reply:
>I can meet up tomorrow.
We then agreed that he could come over to my apartment tomorrow at 11:45am to tour it. I then got dressed for Church and found Enosh in the kitchen making some dinner with mushrooms. I left quickly and made a voyage through the cold to get to church in time to Usher, when I was there I found out that Lucas, the guy who usually ushers with me, was not going to be able to make it today so they had another person help me, I handed out most of the pamphlets and was also tasked with delivering the Eucharist to the people up in the choir. During the preaching of the gospel I went up to where the choir presided to take count of all the people there and got 111 people in total. I did the money collection thing and got a good amount of money before depositing it in the safe, where I found out that the ushers from the earlier mass forgot to ensure that the bag dropped into the safe so someone could just open the drawer and take it. I went up to receive the Eucharist and then took like 8 communion wafers upstairs to the choir and I put it on a table for them. There was this pretty cool poster which served as a liturgical calendar so I just had to take a picture. I then handed out fliers with Paco for 5 minutes before heading downstairs to have some food, I got some popcorn, this cookie, and a New Glarus beer while talking with Raphael, Raphaela, and Paco for a bit, Raphael makes a joke about Paco having a messy desk and Paco says that he has things to do like drive 2 1/2 hours to get to work back where he lives at 6:00am tomorrow. I talk with Isaiah and he says there’s another Knights of Columbus meeting going on this Thursday and I am thinking of going. Walking home was blistering cold but I eventually made it, finished up my report on the movie Run Lola Run, took a shower, and then went to sleep.

February 17th, 2025: Back to school today (even though it is Presidents' day today, my school doesn't have it off,) I finished off the last package of s'more poptarts and I broke down the box to recycle it, which reminded me of work. The daily biblejak had a reading which I found pretty interesting: (Genesis 4:1-15, 25)
>8 Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.
>9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"
>10 And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
>11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
>12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."
>13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
>25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

Which reminded me of the whole thing about children of Adam and Eve other than Abel, Cain, and Seth, with there being the daughters Azura and Awan according to the Book of Jubilees and 9 other sons. Which lies in stark contrast to me just having a singular older sister and no brothers. There was also the very short quote from Mark (Mark 8:11-13) about the Pharisees being Pharisees. I went to the convenience store while walking over sheets of ice trying not to slip, I got into the store and bought some of the generic french vanilla powdered coffee creamer they had, I paid for it along with a bowl of instant ramen and walked back to my apartment. I got a message that my medication was ready to be picked up so I had to take a long trek over to the pharmacy while it was below freezing. I eventually got there, paying $10.00 for it and shoving the bag with the pills in the pocket of the outer layer of my coat. I went over to this coffee shop next door to see what they had and who was there. I didn’t recognize anyone so I just ordered a 16 ounce peanut butter mocha which set me back $6.00. I drank my mocha on my walk back home and kind of enjoyed it to be honest, but by the time I arrived at my apartment the tips of my fingers were freezing even with my gloves on. I went to my house and took a pill before making my ramen for lunch. At 11:28am I got a message from James saying:
<Lmk when you're ready and I'll head over
So I replied:
>I’m ready, I’m in [apartment address]
<Alright I'll be on my way
>From misery to happiness today.
<Woah
>Bro
I frantically went about cleaning up the place by wiping down the counters in the kitchen and doing the dishes. At 11:56am I got some more texts from James saying:
<Am here
<Could you possibly meet me outside

>Just a moment.
I walked out wearing my coat and met him at the front door to let him in and showed him around the place for a bit. The takeaway that he had was that the only bonuses that my apartment had over his was that mine is bigger and is closer to where we needed to go. After a short while he decides to walk me over to his apartment. I have to cross some streets to see it but when I get in there I am amazed at how much better it is! The rug is clean, the couch is comfortable, the building looks brand new and isn’t slowly decaying, the floors are clean, there’s a balcony, and there are many decorations in it. I took a picture of this decoration that I asked James about:
IMG_3770.jpeg


James says to me that it is his Tibetan Buddhist roommate’s shrine that he has set up, who I will be calling Quoc. I found it pretty nice that this guy who I knew since my first semester at college. He was pretty chill when I met him. James went over the place more and showed the inside of his room, which included a Spanish bible he got from a lady he goes to church with and a poster for a band called Babymetal. I get to see the place some more and I find out that from the start of June to the end of August, James would be in Fort Knox for some JROTC training while Quoc would then move out at the end of August. I liked the idea and James sent me the number of the landlady, we were kind of acquaintances but the one thing that united us all was that Asherah hated us, she hates Quoc because I remember freshman year when told me that she told Quoc to fuck off because he asked her out, she hates James because he said that he believed that the Earth was only 6000 years old, I asked James further about it and he said that he believes in the King James Bible as the ultimate word of God, and me because I called Peronism satanic and driven by greed (because they spent a lot and couldn't be bothered to collect taxes) and for returning to my Catholic roots, No I never tried to hit on her. I then walked to my first class of the day to learn more about pointers, it was really boring. Next was my class with Padma. I saw her sitting and chuckled to myself while I worked on my blog post for yesterday. I messaged Angela a lot throughout the day with her talking about how she is finally passing Chemistry, her grandparents which don’t like the fact that she isn’t married yet, her brother throwing her favorite stuffed animal out onto the Ohio freeway when she was 5 because she kept begging to play with his Gameboy, the fact that I only ever named one of my stuffed animals when I was young which was just a snowman named Snowman, her drawing me as a gunslinger:
IMG_3771.jpeg

The fact that she exercised her legs a lot and could leg press 230lbs until she suffered an injury, and also her trip to buy cute dresses at Goodwill today. I then went to my art class in the blistering cold but managed to get there, the teacher had us pin up our art works in progress so they could be critiqued, I put my piece all the way at the right end so it would go last but the teacher decided to switch things up and have me go first and they ripped into it:
<When our group was looking at it, we loved the plants and the whole floor and everything, like how it all goes together, but we feel like as it is, it's a little bit bottom heavy. We see that there's something planned up top, bt uh something added up there would really bring it all together - Some guy
Another person then chimes in
<I thought something similar. Like I feel like there's so much like the entire piece has such a clear light source, you can tell they use perspective to make sure the light was perfectly or the shadows were perfectly lined up. So I think about bringing some of that light source up to the top because you can see that circle as clearly where all the light is coming from. They should make it dark on the other side of the wall and make it get lighter when it comes towards the circle to like make it look like it's glowing. I like that! - Ginger girl
^Alright anything else? and Gemerson, how did you say you were going to do it, like you mentioned three different kinds of value developments right? - The teacher
>Yeah, for like each wall and I am thinking of doing cross hatching for one of them and then I'm not about the other one, but like... - My response
^Yeah um what do you think of the idea of possibly making the lighting pretty consistent coming from the orb, is that what you were thinking? - Her response
>Yes!
^I think the circulisms or the scribbling is quite nice, you know, it looks almost scribbly up close, but then it has really nice representation of the light source from a distance. I would say you probably just want to maintain pretty high contrast here, as like a focal point, so you know once you push that contrast, I would keep this up here fairly light, probably. Is that what you were planning to do?
>Absolutely!
^And is this resolved yet or you're still gonna go into that area?
>I'm thinking of something
^I'm imagining just some lighter hatching, possibly with a lighter micron pen. Yeah, I think this is actually really nice and just pushing that contrast. Are you going to do anything up here?
>Probably just some light shading up there to represent the sky.
^The first guy's point is pretty good, you know just making it less bottom heavy.
After that my roasting session was done and it was onto the next person and then the many others who had worked through this assignment with me, although I was jealous because their art was somewhat better than mine. I remembered that the new chapter of The Jojolands released today, so after the art gallery, I went to the bathroom to read it and I enjoyed it a lot. To be honest, Acca is kind of a nutjob though, like his grandfather. I then walk back home in the cold and try to go to bed but I am unable to because I took my medication too late into the night and just ended up thinking about implementing Dungeons and Dragons 3.5th edition into the RPG Maker MZ engine and all the difficulties that it entailed. I tried to heat up some hot milk but that didn't help either.

February 18th, 2025: A normal day today, I made some cereal for breakfast and then I started to work on the last of my German assignments due at 11:30am but all of the sudden my wifi just decided to give out, becoming extremely slow. I noticed that it was Dvorkin's birthday today on snapchat so I texted her wishing her a happy birthday, she just left me on read. I walked to my first class and then completed the homework with my better wifi, class was ok and I talked to Quentin a bit. After that class I walked to my second class and saw Lizzo on the way but she refused to acknowledge my existence but I didn't really try to interact with her. I ended up seeing this story on Instagram at the place introducing this guy named Tomás and you could see Asherah in the back. I know for certain that Tomás probably talks shit about me and I know I'm the laughingstock of that workplace. My second class was really boring but we got our topic assigned to us, where we were told that our group project would be the usage of AI in warfare, which is what Chapelle suggested. I then walked home and even saw Sabrina on the walk and said hi to her. It was my uncle's (Beer Aunt's husband) 64th birthday today so I sent him a happy birthday text but he never answered it. I gamed a bit before I had to head to the Bible dinner night but I talked to Angela and she said she can't make it with her reasoning.
<Because I have a migrane on the right side of my head
<it hurts
<I have taken pain meds
<Now I drink a lot of water and lower the lights

I replied to her:
>Please recover Angela, I'll pray for you!
I then walked to the place while wearing two layers of pants and two layers of socks, and it turns out the engaged girl's birthday was today so they celebrated her birthday today. I tried asking her how old she was but I guess I was drowned out by the sound of other people. I get in line for spaghetti which they cut short and decide to sit with Henry and this ethnically Jewish guy I see who I will be calling Markus, I eventually decide to get up to refill my water and when I come back I see the girl from last week leaning against the doorway and I said to her:
"Hey there punk!"
She replied:
"Hey you got my subculture right!"
I remember there also being this guy who I will be calling Seton who looked like an artificial person and spoke like he was always giving a presentation. When I got back it turns out Henry gave my seat to his girlfriend and then we fought back and forth for it. A bit later I overhear Markus talking to Punk about what each person is notable for, she mentions that the Honduran is notable for being a supporter of monarchism, I asked her what I was notable for and I was expecting something like I'm a creep or that one weird guy everyone pretends to like, she then says to me:
"You're the guy who always tries to start fights!"
I told her that I wasn't really that confrontational and she went on about how she rejected labels or whatever so then I just head home. I stayed in my place for a bit before walking over to the bar that the guy was talking about at 7:45pm, I got there at 8:05pm and I saw this one Jewish guy and his girlfriend/wife and the guy was wearing a watermelon kippah. I walk into the place where the party is and chill for a bit before getting a beer from this old bartender guy and he made a joke about both us not being able to grow a beard so I tipped him $1.50 on a $4.00 purchase, I met the guy running in the election and he was pretty chill, I also saw his dad too. We got to watch the results live and it turned out that he ended up winning despite not being endorsed by the mayor. This trans woman came over to me (the only person other than the bartender and the candidate willingly to talk to me) and asked me who I was, how I knew the candidate, and if I was interested in joining DSA, I said yes. I encountered the bartender again giving me a Pabst beer that he had just opened and he said:
"Forgot to tell you but tonight was actually a 2 for 1 deal night!"
I drink the rest of the beer and I decide to wander around the bar for a bit, I accidentally knock one of those pool sticks down at the pool table and decide to walk home. I get back at 9:45pm with a stuffy nose, I take a shower, and then go to sleep. As for the thing with therapy I have still not gotten a call back...
