2026-07-15 06:26:46 UTC

I talk a lot here about Matt because I feel like I'm just annoying my friends when I talk to them about him. I just need to get things about him out of my brain and...somewhere else sometimes.
I was gonna say I'm sorry...but I'm not. It helps me process things to type them out.

2026-06-29 05:28:26 UTC

Would a man wear a shirt AND bracelet a woman gave him all week after she gave it to him if he didn't wanna think of her when he wore them??

2026-06-28 16:48:34 UTC

Trying to distract myself by flirting with other people, but...I hate it. Just makes me think about him more.
He's everywhere. All the time.
I don't know what to do about it.

2026-05-13 00:18:28 UTC

John: Everyone's mean to Matt.
Me: I'm not!
Atticus & John: YES YOU ARE.
John: You tease him all the time.
Atticus: And you're very flirty about it.
Me: Well, the flirting is intentional...the being mean part isn't. 😅

That must have been annoying!! John is doing this to himself, though 😭

2026-05-06 05:11:52 UTC

Why am I the only one concerned about my friend John's health????
He needs an intervention. 1-3 hours of sleep a night IS NOT ENOUGH.

2026-05-05 17:51:00 UTC

For those of you who have read the first two books in my series; what do YOU think "Three-of-Three" actually means?
I'm curious to see if anyone has figured it out yet.

How tf do you pronounce "ombre?"
Is it like om-burr, or om-bray?

2026-05-02 00:42:10 UTC

I feel like I'm gonna be sick.
I'm meeting him in 20 days.
I'm totally gonna make an ass out of myself and trip over my own two feet or something.

2026-04-29 12:36:40 UTC

I get a special little thrill bullying bullies who bully my friends. They deserve a taste of their own ass-hattery.

I feel bad. Luna was trying to convince me to play FFXIV last night, but...I don't even have the time to play most of the games I already play, lately.

2026-04-25 07:11:57 UTC

I have a third art commission lined up! I'm booked through June now!

2026-04-24 14:02:47 UTC

I am absolutely terrified of meeting Matt in person. Less than a month now. I just know I'm going to fall even MORE in love with him, and it's gonna hurt like hell when he doesn't feel the same way. But I'll do it because he's also my friend, and I love him platonically, too.

I LOVED the Amazon series so much I started reading the books! I finished New Spring, and I bought the next book, I believe. All the others have been gifted to me, and are awaiting being read. Lol.

I don't think of it as a dilemma; it's just interesting to me. I don't mind it at all, but it's unexpected that people actually listen to me. I'm more used to being invisible.

2026-04-23 12:44:22 UTC

Why do I always find myself leading things that other people are supposed to be leading? It's not like I do it on purpose. I just suggest things and people follow.

2026-04-23 09:50:44 UTC

What's a film, show, or book that changed your life? What did you start doing differently afterwards?

2026-04-23 00:26:55 UTC

Apparently, I am Accidental Boss Bitch.
That's my new name, I guess.

2026-04-22 23:53:47 UTC

Matt: I feed off the blood of the beautiful.
Me: So, I'm just gonna die when we meet next month, aren't I?
Matt: *in his sexy voice* No, you'll be immortal.

He thinks it's cute that I say "huzzah." He didn't say it directly, but he did his "this-is-so-cute" voice and echoed me when I said it. 😂

2026-04-16 08:50:46 UTC

He's thinking about streaming three days in a row just because I said I might be late on Friday. I mean, that's a lot, and I hope he doesn't do that...for his own sake...but it's REALLY CUTE that he said he might. 🤭🥰

He's been reacting to RWBY and keeps talking shit about how Jaune is totally oblivious about Pyrrha, and I...
Sigh.
I'M THE PYRRHA. HE'S THE JAUNE.

2026-04-14 03:04:09 UTC

I wonder if he'd even notice if I just stopped flirting with him.
Every time I do it, it hurts, because I don't think he feels the same way about me.
He would've told me by now if he did.

Been very stressed out and ignoring it. Today, I'm focusing on ME.

2026-04-11 05:40:46 UTC

My DM and I got ghosted by the party earlier, and I was feeling bummed. Then, Matt swooped in to save my night. We all chatted on his server for like TWO HOURS.
And he said some...THINGS to me. In front of everyone. 😳🫣
Tomorrow's stream will sure be interesting.

2026-04-10 11:08:30 UTC

Working more on Matt's WANTED poster today at the studio!! Hopefully I can make some good progress, because I have two commissions I need to get to work on soon.

2026-04-10 06:51:37 UTC

I just did unofficial mod duty in Matt's server. Someone posted a VERY SPOILERY spoiler in the RWBY chat, and I told them to spoiler tag it. They deleted it entirely, instead and apologized. Why do I suddenly feel like the chat mom?? 🤣

2026-04-10 05:35:50 UTC

He's been very chatty today, and every interaction makes me smile.

About to nap, but I'm looking for really trippy films to watch!!
Some of my favorites include Waking Life, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Moon Garden, and The Forbidden Room.
I like mind bendy, dreamy, and portal fantasy kind of deals. Nothing super violent, and nothing that's gonna leave me feeling dead inside after.
Anyone have any suggestions?

An auto-mod bot on Twitch was deleting things and issuing people warnings on stream earlier, and Matt only stepped in and got rid of it after it scolded me. XD

I am 40, and I've only had 7 relationships my entire life. I rarely, if ever, have feelings for anyone. When I do, they're usually a friend, and only see me as such...which is fine, and I will continue to be their friend, because friendships are really important to me. But...being demi does get very lonely sometimes. I am so full of love, and no one wants it.

2026-04-06 06:03:44 UTC

Mab is almost a self-insert in my books. She is how I imagine I would be if I let all the horrible things people did to me turn me into a monster.

Do people ever treat you suspiciously for being nice?? It's the weirdest fucking thing. I'm a generally happy person, and I try to treat people kindly, because I'd also like to be treated kindly. Why is that suspicious? What am I gonna do, be your best friend? Make you cupcakes on your birthday and soup when you're sick? Send you silly little memes that make me think of you? OOOH. I'M SO SCARY.

Matt is doing an early stream today. He did an extra one the other day, too. He just seems more and more excited about streaming every week. It's really cute. I wish it was because he wanted to hang out with me, specifically, but I think it's just because he loves gaming. 😂♥️

We actually haven't done that yet!! I don't know why hahahaha. My character's visions are connected with her tarot card readings. Usually whether she has a vision or not depends on my rolls, and my DM just makes shit up on the spot. I'll have to message them about it!

Thinking about the vampire RPG I've been playing. Yehn (or their character Adrian, really) has sort of taken lead for the most part. But they were absent last session, and that's when I realized that most of the suggestions about what we should be doing actually come from me. So, now I'm wondering why my friends are letting the bonkers Malkavian lead the party??? My character hears voices and has visions and tears peoples' heads off with her bare hands. LOL.

Not only does Tangerine Palpatine rape little girls, but he kills them, too. A second Iranian school was bombed, and a whole girl's volleyball team was decimated. 21 people are dead in Lamerd. And before that, 175 in Minab. I am so fucking angry. I have never hated anyone as much as I hate that sorry excuse for a man.

He told me I don't annoy him at all, and I can send him as many messages I want and he'll read them all. I'M GONNA CRY, Y'ALL. Probably in the top ten of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. Definitely one of the most reassuring.

Because I guess everyone before me died here. Probably in the room I'm in right now.
Lady before me left several years of trash stickers behind when she passed. I just finished using them up this week. I think that's a sign I need to start looking for a new place to live.

What else to do with it.

All these people from Matt's server, including his mods (friends? I dunno), keep going, "Oh, lemme DM you about this..." and sliding into my DMs. One of them sent me a friend request today, too. I don't know wtf is going on. Why does everyone want to be my friend all of a sudden? XD
