Wander, eyes closed, following song

Now it's time to post a bunch of stuff we've already written and posted elsewhere for absolutely no reason except to have fun and fill up our account and put them other places than just one single Tumblr blog (eggs, basket)

(Also for these ones, instead of writing the music I'm actually listening to, I'm going to the playlist of whoever wrote it and putting it on shuffle, or even better, finding a song on it that really vibes with the content of the post. Honesty takes second priority to a musical consistency. I'm the one posting these for today but it's way more fun to show some of their music tastes than just write the same Ashbury Heights song in the music section over and over (we've been looping Phantasmagoria for days)).

Either way, last time I did, I was still posting about things like being "ghostkin" and "questioning" being computer 'kin and being unhappy forever. And still using two hyphens instead of em-dashes and en-dashes; ew.

Main updates: in the last year I have had a lot of life events and a lot of revelations that not only are going to make this new attempt go a LOT differently, but also recontextualize all the past ones. Mostly the stuff like how I wasn't "ghostkin," I had straight up Cotard's/was an actual ghost, and now I'm not (alive); replaced the Cotard's with clinical zoanthropy; got top surgery, a different name, disability aids, new goals and mindsets, a QPP and moving plans; I am now the proud parent of 3 beautiful baby story ideas, and you know what they say, they grow up so fast!; oh yeah and I'm an OSDD system and we have been the entire time, which really puts into a better picture all the "G-d, I don't know why I can't stop changing so much and just nail down an identity!" posting on every account I've ever had anywhere.

Alters won't necessarily "sign off" posts, probably, unless they're one of the ones who wants to, which is a category I belong to, so anyone who also does will have their own tag. Most of us are the same guy (Ekho). Some of us really, really aren't. Some of us probably will completely lose interest and won't post at all, but at least this time we're all aware that our sudden abandonment of accounts is because the current frequent fronter just wasn't feeling it as much as the one who started it.

Anyway today I went downtown and hung out in a coffee shop and we were planning to just go home and wallow in ennui until I switched in to save the day and decided to walk down the Art Fest instead so we had a lovely interaction with a stranger: complimented her octopus artwork and engaged in conversation about what makes them fascinating animals and so satisfying to draw. I didn't know how to close the conversation after she waxed complimentary about octopuses, so after I said "I agree!" I ended up saying "thanks" and vanishing, which, even though 7 isn't anywhere near front, was such a hilariously stereotypical "shapeshifter disguised as a human" sci fi moment; I might use that in Transversal lol. Then I ended up in another booth selling ceramics and saw several unfairly gorgeous mugs with tentacle handle designs, and the vendor haggled me down to $30, which was all just so serendipitous that I couldn't not... so I have a cool mug now I guess. I mean another cool mug.

Another W for following curious whims and an L for going home.

I hate how stereotypical we all are that I'm the one who would start this though.
