yes and no. i believe it's far more likely that alien life exists than that it doesn't. i definitely don't believe we've ever made any sort of contact with this alien life in the event that it does exist though.

i'm around 5'1 i believe? though my height is different every time i'm measured (quite drastically, so it's almost certainly not actually different, just inconsistent) so that's just approximate. i used to find it quite frustrating to be so short, especially because both sides of the family, especially my dad's, are so tall, but i think i've come to terms with it now. it's not like there's anything i can do to change it lol

thank you <3 i can't really loosen it any more than i already have and still get any benefit from using it unfortunately. during the winter i wear fluffy socks underneath to spread the pressure out a little more but it's to hot for that now :c i've decided to just use my wheelchair for longer trips for a while to let my ankle and now toe rest, and then use kt tape if i can. honestly should have done that a long time ago, but using my chair sucks so i don't as often as i should. oops. you're welcome <3 the heat is awful sometimes, it'd be cool if they invented foot coolers, you know like those hand warmer things that look like those things you're not supposed to eat that come in a shoe box, that make your hands warm? they should invent those, but to make your feet cool, that you could put in your socks. i don't blame you i wouldn't want to do something that i thought sucked either, but if it was pain vs not doing something that sucked, i'd...i'm not sure what i'd do, i think it'd depend on the situation, but either way i hope that you find a way to help that is good both physically and mentally. omg yes, i would love one of those! my feet get hot so fast, i'd buy like 10 and keep one on me at all times lol yeah, it's a tough choice. it's also a choice i often forget that i have, which doesn't help lol but it's good, in the end i never regret making it

god having a fragile body is the worst. i've been having trouble with my ankle slipping for weeks, probably due to an injury i didn't even realise i got. i wrapped my ankle to go on a walk and felt great! i didn't fall over even once, not having to compensate with other muscles meant i didn't get fatigued as quickly, i wasn't in nearly as much pain as usual.
until i woke up the next morning, yesterday, with awful pain in my foot. pretty sure i sprained my ring toe, most likely because of said ankle wrapping being a little too tight around the top of my foot. so that's great ))) now it's even harder to walk )))) as someone who is fairly fragile, i can somewhat relate. i'm hoping you have a speedy recovery and that it's not so painful as it is now. is there a way you can loosen the ankle wrapping? thank you <3 i can't really loosen it any more than i already have and still get any benefit from using it unfortunately. during the winter i wear fluffy socks underneath to spread the pressure out a little more but it's to hot for that now :c i've decided to just use my wheelchair for longer trips for a while to let my ankle and now toe rest, and then use kt tape if i can. honestly should have done that a long time ago, but using my chair sucks so i don't as often as i should. oops.

( shorter post today, hope that's okay! )
At the sound of Rylo jumping into the opposing chair, Noel gave the cat a curious look. He really was a strange creature. Clearly, the feline was on a mission, because he hadn't stopped staring at Noel since he came inside. Even now he was staring. Noel felt the sudden urge to check his phone to see if he had something on his face.
He lingered on the cat a little longer once Cielo replied, but soon enough looked back up at her. "Good call." He took another small piece off the plate before him. "It's good," he added emphatically. And it was. It was moist, but crumbled easily in his mouth where it left a light sweetness behind. Flavourful, but not overbearing. Simple in the best way.
"Oh, I don't mind. It's not a bother. I'm a lawyer. I work over at Cunningham and Graves." At the end of his sentence, his pitch rose slightly, as though to inquire whether she knew them or not. It was far from obvious that she would. Law firms were the kind of places you were only aware of if you had to be. He gestured in the general direction of his workplace, unsure if this would be at all helpful.

Joachim "Kim" Elijah Lively - approximately 260-270 years old, stopped aging at 22 [fc] - bisexual
Kim is a lanky man of average height, narrowly built and long limbed. His chestnut coloured hair is curly and usually fluffed up as he doesn't care to straighten or wax it in any way, though he does take care to keep it presentable. His features are on the rounder side and his mouth is wide. Though usually at least partially hidden by his hair, his ears, too, are round and large. His eyes are green, though they appear grey under most artificial lighting, and his face expressive. Generally speaking, Kim dresses in simple clothes - jumpers or casual button up shirts over slacks or a pair of nice jeans - and seems unbothered by current trends.
Joachim is a mischievous, humorous individual. He's often found smiling, and enjoys teasing or playing around with his friends. That being said, he rarely has very many friends at a time as keeping the secret he's keeping and knowing he'll have to cut them off within a decade isn't conducive to forming strong bonds with people. Ever restless, Kim likes to fill his days to the brim if he can. He has a tendency both to fidget and to talk to himself if he's idle for too long. He has a strong need for self-preservation, and though he doesn't like stepping on other people (or drinking their blood) to survive, he'll do so with little hesitation or regret if it's what he perceives as needed for survival. That said, he's conflict averse and as a rule doesn't like taking sides, or even being asked to. Emotional but private, Kim is seemingly unable to keep his emotions hidden and is easy even for strangers to read. Still, he doesn't like talking about his feelings or what causes them with anyone but a very select few. His anxious temperament is a constant, fueled not only by his nature but the fear of being discovered.
Kim was born Joachim Bazin in mid 18th century southern France to his seamstress mother and seamster father who worked together in their workshop, his father taking charge of the tailoring and mother the finer stitching. From an early age, Kim would help them with their work, as would his two older siblings. He was turned at twenty two by his then boyfriend, but he doesn't like to get into the details. Not long after, he left his family behind to travel Europe, then western Asia and America, never staying long in one place. He almost always (though not always) keeps his given name, but the last name he takes varies.

fish. also shellfish, underwater mollusks, even some whales (though not all, for some reason) terrify me. like legit-panic-attacks-in-the-supermarket-because-there-were-crayfish-on-sale-unexpectedly terrify me. as far as i know there's no backstory to it. my parents tell me i've cried at seeing fish in stores/the ocean my whole life, and i've always hated fish tanks with a passion to the point where i would refuse to visit friends with them as a kid. i've got a somewhat better grip on it now, and i can even eat fish sometimes nowadays, but my heart races every time i walk past the freezers at the shop bc i know there are fish inside and whenever i visit friends who own them we have to do some careful planning so i don't have to make eye contact with one accidentally

the fact that there's no bottom to many social media sites makes me so stressed out, so i rarely ever use them. i've given all of the usual a go, but i just can't handle the fact that i'll never 'finish' the task of scrolling so i end up deleting it all after a few days at most. i basically only use this place and youtube at this point

some are good, some aren't to my taste, same as with pretty much any other studio. i think it's pretty much 50/50 for me whether or not i'll like a disney movie or find it boring. that said, none are egregiously bad or anything, and some are fantastic imo, so the average skews good

Saint Ambrosef on the lip creases thing, i found that applying a thick lip balm underneath the lipstick is the only way i avoid them. it doesn't sound like you're grieving not using lipstick, but if you haven't before and find a reason to i recommend trying it out! I will try that! Thank you! Also hooded eye sisterhood lol no problem, i hope it works for you!
always good to find someone else in the so-much-eyelid-it-becomes-invisible club!

i love wearing make up! i don't wear it daily (except mascara, that i do wear every day), it's probably 50/50 if i do my make up or not. it's usually more on the simple/natural make-up look side of things. mostly it's just tinted spf, concealer, and blush for my skin and mascara on my eyes. possibly some light contour and low coverage foundation and/or eyeliner if i'm feeling especially fancy. i have extremely hooded eyes, so if i do wear shadow it's just a light shimmery colour on the inner corner and possibly a sheer blush under the outer corner of the lower lash line. i prefer tinted lip balms to lipstick, but nude lipsticks are fun as well if I'm wearing enough make up for it to not look out of place
my favourite item is 100% mascara. everything else is extra for me, but putting on mascara has become the final step of my morning routine and i don't feel fully dressed without it. second is probably brightening concealer. my least favourite is 100% brow products. i haven't found a single one i like the look of on me, which probably has more to do with my skill in doing brows than anything but even so

i also have never really gotten a nickname irl, other than the pet names my parents gave me as a kid? and of those they really only call me 'gumman' now (literally translates to little old lady, but is probably most often used as a term of endearment for women and girls, generally those much younger or younger+related, and in some circles between friends). it's cute though, i like it!

สแดษชษดสแดแดา ๐ and i'm still obsessed with satellite to this day. i remember very little from the 2010 esc but the winner is sticking
Jademist i haven't! i don't think i ever will because i highkey love sitting at home with a bucket of popcorn and making fun of every other performance haha that and i have chronic pain that is made worse by sensory input which would make it quite difficult. but maybe one day if sweden or possibly denmark win in the future and i'm tempted enough! i have considered going to one of our selection show dates. since there's 8 a year there's always at least one near my city (with the exception of the covid years when the tour was cancelled and all the shows were in stockholm) so it wouldn't be as massive a commitment. what about you? have you ever gone/would you like to in the future?

Being from the Netherlands I was kinda rooting for S10 but I didn't expect her to win though. And our language probably sounds quite weird to foreigners so I'm surprised she did so well haha. our commentator talked about this actually! i believe something along the lines of not expecting dutch to sound beautiful, but that this really was and that he hopes the netherlands will send more songs in dutch in the future.

ukraine won, as expected! i don't think i've ever seen anyone get that many public vote points? but i haven't exactly kept track. i'm happy for them, and glad that the 12s were so evenly distributed so all the favourites got a moment to shine

it's that time of year again! is anyone watching the finals/has watched the semis? esc is my greatest guilty pleasure so i've watched both haha. my favourites are probably greece and sweden, but since i can't vote for sweden by virtue of living here i guess greece will be getting my vote.
for the majority of you who probably haven't tuned in due to not being european/australian (or just not wanting to lol), i've included a few of this year's highlights, whether that be for better or worse is for you all to decide.
norway's iconic song. the artists are rumoured to be ylvis of what does the fox say fame, but they haven't revealed their identities to anyone so its anyone's guess
moldova's song made me feel emotions i didn't know existed. i'm not sure that was a good thing, but they did qualify for the finals so something worked
my favourite two:
plus 4-ish minute recaps of the two semis in case you want a full taste of the chaos
