PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS AGAINST THE RULES–I WILL STOP IF SO BUT DON’T BAN ME OUTRIGHT

Today there was a woman with a large dog in her grocery cart at Safeway, who gave me a jumpscare. I said “that’s disgusting” and she said “you’re disgusting,” which is kinda to be expected from the kind of person to be as gross as to do that. I wish I’d told her that she might like eating her dog’s asshole but other people don’t.

My hair is very dark brown, just shy of black, and I am religious about sun protection. Think big hat, heavy layer of sunscreen, Asian auntie vibe. I also freckle if the sun even licks me so I avoid it in every way possible. It’s the main problem with skin aging and wrinkles, before smoking.

I was riding on a bike path and switched bikes with my companion because his was an e-bike and I wanted to try it out. I didn’t realize it would accelerate after I stopped pedaling and crashed into him mildly. He didn’t even fall off his bike but I overcorrected trying to avoid him and bombed down the hill. I’m covered in scrapes and I have a couple bruised ribs, bad enough that it hurts to laugh or move in certain ways. A couple people stopped and checked that I was okay after my mishap, so it was bad enough that others were concerned.

I fucked up and let my cat free-roam outside and he was injured by another animal and lost for a week. I will never make that mistake again. It was one of the worst weeks of my life. I’ve learned my lesson.

I feel strange. I am going out with someone who never makes me laugh but is kind and helpful. He helped me set up my hammock but he doesn’t get my humor and when I try to show him what I’m interested in he acts like my cat when I show him that I’m eating something he won’t like. Sniffs and walks off. It’s like he wants to be interested in my little things but is unable to force himself. When I tell a joke he doesn’t get it unless I overexplain it. I have never been married and I hear that people learn to put up with all sorts of things but it always sounds hellish to me.
