Life in 0.25x Speed

It’s 3 am. Just spent the last 4 hours at Emily’s. I carefully let her do her homework. She asked me, “If there’s anything you want me to stop, tell me”. I obliged. I told her I was foreseeing myself feeling disrespected if she kept showing up late to our hangouts. I told her that I dislike it when people call me out to do something, then show up so late that I waited for nothing. The conversation evolved into deep thinking strategies for people who struggle with change.

I asked Issy what she wanted for her birthday. She told me she wanted this cute set of clothes OR a whiteboard. The difference was funny to me. I’m thinking I get her the clothes, the whiteboard, and something else. Still thinking about what that something else will be. I mentioned my pen/stationary wish list when Issy asked what I wanted for my birthday. I was talking about pens earlier today, and Emily jumped and said she had been waiting for me to bring it up again as she had forgotten every pen on the list and what website the list was even on. Cute.

I finished reading Juujika no Rokunin (the 6 people of the cross). It was this shitty ass manga. It was extremely dissatisfying, and I am disappointed I read 200+ chapters of it. I wish I read a normal book instead. So much for furthering my hobbies. I guess I did start leaning Toccatina by Kapustin today, so that’s that. It’s really difficult. Took me around 40 minutes to play the first bar at 0.25x speed. Yeesh.
