notably i started august out by frying off the ends of my hair while cat sitting. over bleached ends and no heat protectant are apparently not suitable for a flat iron. shout out to tony for doing an emergency cut/dye at 12:30am at my sisters place.
i finally parted with most of my comic book collection in august as well. i kept some sentimental ones, of course. (dad, i kept your copies of radioactive adolescent hamsters!) middle school reese is probably pissed, but i haven’t touched any of them in ages. i can only hope a pre teen trans masc will find my stacks of tim drakes robin comic books and find a new favorite character to project onto.
clients at work continue to get /slightly/ exaggerated stories from my life, and in return i got a drawing of one of those stories. that story being about waking nightmares i had about doctor phil as a child. (you may laugh, it’s ridiculous)
august is also when tony and i found our next apartment. finally getting to live downtown! while i will miss having a parking spot, and how i despise parallel parking…. i think the space will be really healing for the both of us. it’s walkable, there’s shit to go do. our friends live either a couple floors down or a couple blocks away. the window is huge and the sun rises facing us. the kitchen itself is massive. (at least comparatively to the hole in the wall we have now.)
i’m mostly just excited to have a space that we’re able to welcome people into. somewhere where it’s not cramped the second we have a single guest over. anyhow, here’s the living room:
and of course i turned 24! i got to take a day trip thrifting in dc for the day. thank you tony for being my chauffeur all day!! after pillaging all the goodwills and vintage stores we got drinks before our dinner reservations at nina may. maybe walking around all day in the summer heat and getting a margarita before dinner wasn’t a solid idea, but i had fun…..and also broke a champagne flute at a fancy restaurant. oops.
