Friday five
Apr. 3rd, 2026 04:55 pm1. When were you last fooled by something you saw online? Hmm..maybe for a second around April Fool's Day. Someone on the bus got me though, he said Willie Nelson was found dead in the middle of the road. "I was like oh no!" and then he said "I'm joking, April Fool's!" I was wary about things after that haha
2. At this moment, what are you full of? Apple juice..I brought a big bottle of it to work haha
3. What is the most beautiful thing you saw this week? Murtagh by Christopher Paolini has a SUPER cool fancy fiery cover and pages..I want to buy it for that alone!
4. What is the most philanthropic thing you’ve done recently? I send money monthly to a cat shelter in New Jersey because I sponsor a special needs cat named Olive..I get an update monthly from her (with help from a volunteer haha), which I like too..she always calls herself things like "Queen Olive" lol
5. When did you last have any kind of flu? I had the stomach flu in 2024..I still have no desire to eat Oreos because of that D:
Today at work is another First Friday 50% sale..I woke up so excited! Customers were having fun buying lots of things! When I left the register was at $900 something, yay! We stay open until 8 during those sales so there's a lot of time left! We're probably going to do better than the last sale..pretty cool!
Yesterday, it finally got above 32 at the airport (where the official temperatures are taken) for the first time since October 31! That ties the record set in 2007 of the latest day above freezing. Wow. Someone needs to make an "I Survived the Winter of 2025-2026" shirt haha. This warmer weather is so nice! I wonder what this summer will be like..
2. What are some things that you've made recently? I don't make things, I leave that to mom haha
3. Write about three friendships which you've made online
Amanda: we met on Quizilla I think around 2003 or 2004..she's the one who told me about LJ. She was very nice! We went to Galveston in 2005, which was cool. Unfortunately, I was super controlling and jealous when she hung out with her now-husband instead of me. I'd love my mind if she didn't come online at the time she told me she would. When I corrected a mutual friend's spelling of something, she said she was ashamed and couldn't be my friend anymore, which still hurts. Years later I apologized to her and she said she appreciated it, and was glad I was doing well in Alaska. I think I'll always feel guilty about it though :(
Dana: we met in 2005 in a survey community..her cut text was something about Texas, and I told her I was from Texas, so we added each other as friends. I was also controlling with her, but got through it and are still great friends! She visited me in Texas and Alaska and I've visited her in New Jersey and California. She is SUPER nice, enthusiastic, accepting, etc. She lost her mind when dad bought a house in Payson, where her husband's mom and stepdad live (I couldn't believe that coincidence either lol), and we've seen each other there too. We've had lots of cool adventures together and I hope we have many more!
Tina: I'm not sure exactly when we met, but we've known each other a long time. She lives in Germany..we've never met in person, but hopefully someday? She's also very nice, accepting, likes cats and books, etc. I'm glad for all the friends I've been able to keep all these years!
