meme taken fromgirderednerve idk why tagging isn’t working
Are you staying home from work/school?
Well, as a non-essential business, my workplace (a retail camera store) got shut down, so I have no choice. I just had the joy of applying for unemployment along with the rest of the entire world at once, and it went poorly even besides the predictable can’t-get-through connection issues from overuse, because I realized my employer had my SSN wrong on my tax forms for years even though I asked them to fix it every year. So I may or may not be able to actually get any unemployment. I’ve been there eleven years and they fucked up my SSN when they changed paycheck providers four (five?) years ago, and somehow that means the Dep’t of Labor has no record of me ever having received any wages ever. *most elaborate shrug emoji possible* This is my life, y’all: absolutely worthless on paper. I love it!
If you’re staying home, who is with you?
My dude is working from home, and he’d sort of thought things would fall apart and he’d be twiddling his thumbs but somehow he is super busy. Also, my cat is with me, and she ignores me except when I’m in the midst of frantically trying to collate forms.
I shouldn’t complain, he makes literally five times what I do, so if his job is good, I won’t starve. I’m useless to capitalism, but he’s not, and he apparently likes me, so.
Who would be your ideal quarantine mate?
I mean, my dude. I’m not just with him out of habit, after all these years. If I’m fantasizing, though, he could have a better haircut than he does, and be slightly more horny than he is, and I guess have a fetish for doing dishes and buying me jewelry and lingerie, that’d be fun. But really, I have a rich enough fantasy life that all I actually wish is that he’d gotten his hair cut before society ended because he’s looking unflatteringly shaggy and it pains me, he is cuter than that.
Are you a homebody?
To call me merely a “homebody” might be the understatement of the year. Being locked in my house with no commitments elsewhere is basically a fantasy of mine, and i only can’t enjoy it because of, you know, the thread of death hanging over everyone I love and the collapse of society and also my underlying anxiety disorder that means I couldn’t relax even if this was just all for funsies, somehow.
An event you were looking forward to that got canceled?
I actually can no longer remember looking forward to things? Uhhh well I had a regularly scheduled trip to the farm, and I am mostly just consumed with anxiety over not knowing and not being able to help, rather than actively being disappointed in anything. Really though, we hadn’t even made vacation plans for this year so I don’t think I’ve lost anything by this, so I should be grateful for that, and am. There’s enough suffering without me being disappointed on top of that. I do mean that earnestly, disappointment is The Worst emotion because you can’t even, like, mine it for juicy inspiration in angst fics or whatever. (Am I the only person who does that? When I’m really in an actual tragic or like, emergency danger situation I catch myself observing it like an outsider so that I can later use it to vividly describe a similar scenario in fiction? Yeah disappointment is no good for that, it doesn’t even have that scrap of silver lining to it, it just fucken blows. My heart goes out to all of you who are disappointed about something, that super sucks cuz like, people are dying, you don’t even get to wallow in your sad about your concert or whatever.)
What movies have you watched recently?
I do not think I’ve seen a movie since the star war of which we don’t speak. I’m not a big movie person and I regret bothering with that one.
What shows are you watching?
I am not a big watcher of shows but! in all this nonsense, I have managed to drag Dude into The Untamed with me and we are really enjoying how fucking bonkers it is. I also am enjoying how beautiful the people in it are, IDK if Dude is, he hasn’t said.
What music are you listening to?
I have really not been listening to very much music. I should probably rediscover the habit, as it tends to be calming. I haven’t been practicing banjo at all either.
What are you reading?
ah I was so excited to buy and downloadclotpoleofthelord‘s new book with the f/f parking lot small town drama and then I didn’t make time to read it. it’s so hard with the not going to work, to actually feel like I can sit and read a thing for fun! This is a good reminder to actually read it like I promised myself I was allowed to. Argh!
What are you doing for self-care?
I am really not doing very much. Right in the beginning I was baking a lot but then that stressed me out. The only thing I’m indulging myself in doing is letting myself write Witcher fanfic, which I won’t deny is very self-indulgent, but like. I should probably, like, sleep more and maybe stop mindlessly scrolling whilst feeling guilty about doing so.
i am not tagging anyone but if you want to do a quaranmeme please feel personally invited to do it! I just saved that end text straight fromgirderednerve (oh NOW tagging works?) because it was well-said.
