DEADPENNY (in the Mortal Coil)

  • A good night with sister

    September 25th, 2024

    Went over to Summer’s place. Picked up [LOCAL ICE CREAM] on the way for us, I got a somewhat foreign, to me, concept but it was just okay

    Anywho! I’ve decided to stay the night, so I engaged with the j, and then we talked a bit, watched our show, made very similar comments like because the team that should have been voted in in our reality show WAS NOT VOTED IN

    Anyway we had a good, fun sister night! Kinda like old times, enjoying a j and talking about life. It’s nice to have a friend

    The dog is right next to me, I’ll post a pic

    (In advance, you’re welcome)

    Oh she is such a big baby and I love her.

    Okay, I have to get somewhat back on track here. The video game track. The Level Up, the LUs, the Lewes, the Louis’s.

    I deserved and had some good times since the break up. needed boosts of the nice chemicals, and that feeling you when when you’re eating a blizzard, that MAY or MAY NOT have flipped upside down because he put it in a bag before I saw

    okay good night f o l k s

  • “I’ll blog about it later”

    September 24th, 2024

    Well, later can be now, you know? I now kind of know. I looked at my laptop as if to get it and said “I’ll blog about it later” but if I always say that when I look at my laptop, then no writing will get done.

    Okay, things are hard. Have I posted that I was broken up with? This is a terrible feeling! Wow! I’ve never been broken up with, and wow, oof. I had cried a lot, a lot. I handled it rather well; I accepted it and went to sit on the curb, sat on the curb and then sat onto the ground. (Ex-boyfriend is Kenny)

    Kenny: What are you doing?

    Me: Sitting, I am just sitting.

    He told me I could do whatever I wanted with his robe (first, objectively, thank you, because it’s a nice robe.) (He lent it to me to keep in bed and cuddle with) Also!! I was going to mention (in the blog) it was a rather nice robe but I didn’t want to mention its niceness to allude to the fact that he works out and has a nice paying job. That’s a fact of life, it may not tie in or help to connect any dots in the future, but it’s true so why not write it? Already in the non-fiction section, bro!

    OH and he earlier gave me his bottle of cologne that was about a 6th of the way empty, so I would spray it with cologne to smell like him.

    I told him, just then in the parking lot, that I will give it back to him. We weren’t far from my house, so I started to walk back. He asked if I wanted a ride in the car, and I said no, but if you want to drive there so you won’t have to walk back, you should. [he said some inspiring or something shit just here]

    And he said no, I’ll walk with you. So we’re walking up the street, Ik’m on the left and I start walking faster just to get it all over with, we’re not talking.

    He waits at the street corner of my house, I go inside, I basically throw myself in side; “Kenny broke up with meeeeee” and I’m wailing for a second. My parents were both very surprised, mom was shocked. I get his things from my room, am walking back outside. I hand them to him, he says a few things but I can’t really hear or pay attention because of what’s happening in my brain??

    He’s saying like, “you’re going to do great and save up for retirement and do great things” And I just look kinda around him, not really at him, and I say “thank you for the kind words and advise.” I start walking away slow.

    He says “are you okay? You look weird” and I nidded and said yes,

    I go inside and sit on the floot, put my phone next to me. He calls, asks if I can come meet him at the street. I agree and walk down’ he;s not there yet, I am standing, bent in half, my hands on my knees, and i am suffering. I am nearly and qietly wailing, I am distraught. He comes up and I ask, “What can I do for you?” with a smile on my crying face

    he tells me he hopes I understand he didn’t mean anything when he said I looked weird, he didn’t mean it in a negative way, just in a different way. And I don’t remember exsctly what I said, but I just nodded and said, no it’s fine. I get it.

    And he says “he didn’t want to burn the bridge” and I say,

    “you didn’t burn it; the bridge just isn’t there anymore.” and I turned and went inside, he said

    “take care” or something, and I agreed, or whatever.

    We had shared our location with each other a little bit ago, and I looked at his location for two minutes, saw he waited in his car for two minutes before leaving. I then turned off my location serving with him, I stopped looking at his (like I unfollowed him or whatever you do) and I deleted his texts, and his contact. I still have to go through my photos.

    This is overwhelming – being on my own. Having to “do life” by myself. I stayed in this area because we may have needed to move somewhere closer to [STATE] for his job. My previous relationship – moved to [CITY] for his job.

    To phrase it bluntly, I had a quick turnaround for serious boyfriends. I was never on my own for too long, at least not with the ability, and the money and the lack of strings tying me here.

    I could work on a fishing boat, I could move to Vegas. I could work as a firefighter, I could run a marathon. I know what I could be, but let’s talk about what I can AND will be?

    If I don’t do this, it’s never been the more perfect time. I’m single, I will not have a car in the next x amount of weeks. I want to work full time. New hope has dozens of places I could work. And I’m sure room for a person without a car? Or until I save from working FT/PT at a serving job

    I haven’t blogged it, but I’m nearly convinced to quit my office job and serve full time.

    Let’s examine:

    I am great at serving, I consistently make good money, I like being “good” at my job, I’m too smart for my current job, I have too much joy to keep behind a cubicle. I’m light on my feet, I’m quick, I walk fast, I want to be the server I’ve always wanted to have. I made a whole lsit at work.

    I’m going to treat life differently. I’m going to treat life from a third party perspective. I’m going to live life like a video game.

    I’m going to level up, and make life a game.

    [[[[I’m calling myself Dora in this blog]]]]

    Dora came home after work and wanted to laze around on her phone. She knew she had things to do, she knew she had to clean her room, had to BLOG SOMETIME TODAY

    Dora had a choice:

    • Lay on her bed and look at her phone (+ 0 to personal growth, society, her future)
    • Clean up the garage and her room some, (Good for: Future, Progress, Mental health)

    The choice was obvious! So she cleaned up the garage almost complete, and she got some things cleaned up in her room. Her intention is to radiate outward. Start with the small, manageable, and think of things to accomplish for the long term project. Feel good about getting the small stuff done, so you’e in the headspace that you have already done so much.

    I want a nice body, I want to be the 31 year old, full-time server, with a studio apartment, a cat, a lot of money, a lot of friends and people tp smile with..

    The only way to accomplishment a nice body, is doing the work. I have to make a decision to do the work.

    This sounds cliche but I’m not about to start right now because carrying boxes still makes my arms tired. Putting in my coffee in and out of the microwave made my arms tired. My arms are tired now, ouch.

    But we perserve forward.

    The only way I, Dora, will achieve the life and body I want, is to work for the life and body I want.

    I must find a somewhat affordable studio, I must work for the full time job. The only thing holding me back is me, but the only thing that needs this to get going is me!

    And I cant move forward and make progress if I”m literally holding myself back.

    So many people do what I want to do, and can do, and will do!

    I have to make a conscious decision to make this big decision by making all of these small decisions first, and correctly? That’s hard work! Hand on my arms are hurting, I’m holding them up at an angle kinda, I have to sit up

    Okay I’m sat up.

    I don’t know if the term is Black Widow but I haven’t been treating men the nicest, I now realize. Also See: being called out.

    Disregarding their feelings, and treating them like they’re on a shelf in the supermarket, there for me to look at and maybe grab, or maybe leave them and hope they’re on the shelf the next time I look. Which is sooner than I thought, oof dunk on me. Home dunk. SELF dunk.

    I need to work on myself, and I should get off Tinder if I don’t have intentions of more than hooking up with these guys. I cannot wait to leave this house and have my own apartment. I’m saving so much money, so maybe save up until I can get a car? Or by like February at the latest? I’ll hopefully have a car by then.

    I’m thinking of moving to [CITY] and becoming either a full-time server, or have two part time jobs

    Can you imagine coming home weekly with the amount of money I could? Working x amount of hours?

    It fits my sleep schedule, I like working around, I’m good at it, OTHER PEOPLE DO IT, there are plenty of jobs in [CITY] and it is getting to be the holiday season and it’s fall and ppl love this little town. I can maybe work there on the weekends, see how it is, and then work full time there somehow.

    I’m watching Love is Blind right now, and there is one guy Sam is such a terrible person, literally it’S LIKE HE MEMORIZED THE PLAYBOOK OF WHAT EVERY MAN HAS EVER SAID WHEN THEY MET FOR THE FIRST TIME

    :just trust me” “just trust me” “I’m going to take such good care of you” He’s said “And trust me” like EIGHT TIMES I swear to gosh. I hope she realizes it.

    I could work in any restaurant in any city and make great money, so why don’t I? I won’t just say I want to do it, but I WANT TO, AND iF I NEED IT TO HAPPEN, I HAVE TO DO IT. I have to put in the work. Beth (older sister-keep up) worked so hard to get to where she is. She didn’t waste hours lying on her bed looking at her dumb phone. I’m thinking of downgrading my phone. I don’t need all that I need. You know, I did just get a new fucking phone, duh.

    I’m going to wrap this post up; but first – things I am grateful for.

    • My mom – we are spending so much time together! We watch baseball together, we sit on the patio and out in the garage together. She gave me big hugs after the relationship ended (still OUCH to say) and was there to listen to me.
    • Grateful for a bed to sleep in. I’m been so gross and neglecting showering. I do it to “train my hair” not to be as greasy, but I’ve just been lazy, knowing I need a shower. I will do better
    • GRATEFUL FOR MY ANTIDEPRESSANT WHICH SUPPRESSES MY APPETITE TO HELP ME BE KINDA HUNGRY AND GO TO BED A LITTLE HUNGRY BC I HAVE WEIGHED TOO MUCH (125 is the heaviest recorded weight) and no joke it is tOO MUCH, MAN.’

    Okay gotta get to bed, ttyl, internet!

  • Called into work

    September 23rd, 2024

    Well, I’m slowly starting to find out what I want to do. I want to move to New Hope, work one full time job or two part times (can get more hours total without going into overtime)

    I’ll see how I fare without a car

  • Technology (am I right?)

    September 23rd, 2024

    Ahhh the computer wasn’t working. It’s a very nice laptop but WordPress was actually the culprit

    Man, being broken up with sucks. I now see the red flags to him, and the objective picture. He was just too attractive and too many not ideal things

    MY DAY

    Used ChaptGPT to help determine where I want to live, what I want to do for life. It’s a real pivotal, foot on the gas pedal kinda moment. So I’m going to visit New Hope, this town by the river on the borderland of NJ and PA

    they have a gay / pride scene which is kewl, and it would be nice to have a small apt w a smol cat and work as a waitress

    Literally making a living wage, not living m-f

    I MISS the days where I could make doctors appts during the week. And dentists. And sleep in. Fuck the nine to five I’m seeing dollah signs in my eyes (the Internet) #song

    (more…)
  • I just got CALLED OUT

    September 22nd, 2024

    oof this is a doozy. When I got a new phone, a lot of old, previously-deleted contacts re-appeared. I’ve been reaching out here and there.

    And last night, I was getting kinda turned on and reached out when I should not have. This guy named Leo. Was in college with, we kind of half dated and a time. when we did meet back up together , to me at least it always felt like there’s potential of a spark.

    He texts back, he asks if I can do him a favor, I say yes, and he says:

    “Stop wasting your time and others. And do something more meaningful with your life. You’ll get more fulfillment in the long run rather than listen to some idiot telling you to text people.”

    oof

    That’s what I needed to hear. And that’s from someone whose opinion I hold in high regard. If anyone was to say that, it would be him.

  • I had a good moment

    September 21st, 2024

    I smoked some weed earlier, it is medicinal but not prescribed to me. Had a real moment looking in the mirror, seeing my family’s faces sort through, realizing it lands on Beth, getting excited, so excited, hands to my cheeks, I’m cheesing, and say “I look like Beth!” I think Beth is so pretty oh my gosh

    I needed to look at myself like that.

    I kinda want to get a tattoo just to get a tattoo

    The magic 8-ball, you know?

  • I wrote my dad’s obituary –

    September 21st, 2024

    he is still alive and healthy, he is doing great

    But I have a great story I would love to share.

    I’m posting here, it’s a draft, not polished. Off the cuff

    “

    One time told him I saw a picture of a light switch group

    And how the screws were allveticql and it looked nice 

    So I say “hey I hear that the carpenters who do that are very skilled and very good at what they do”

    He didn’t say anything, kinda just smiled a little and looked down. 

    The next day,  I walk downstairs and look to turn the lights on – and I see the screws are all perfectly vertical.”

  • The Beginning of Something

    September 21st, 2024

    *cracks knuckles*

    Let’s get to it. I’m not yet writing for an audience, so I believe I can start by typing anything I want to exist. Because this isn’t an official, official blog posts, means I’m going to post what I’ve written. If anyone sees this, I think it’s cool you found my website. Welcome to the rough draft (supposedly a redundant term.)

    I’m heading out to my part-time job soon; the Phillies game is on, and I haven’t been able to see the past couple of games. Work starts at 5:30; I hope to god it’s slow.

    I was broken up with the other night. Three nights ago, I went to bed saying goodnight to the man I thought I would marry.

    And now i’ve given him back his Robe, and he has nothing of mine, nor me his.

    Robe

    [he told me to do whatever with it? Why would I keep it? I gave it back to him, also his bottle of cologne he let me keep to spray the robe with.

    I once thought about writing a “self-help” book of sorts, like “things I wish I knew when I was 23.” But now I’m nearly 31, in a very freshly and a little (temporarily) painful state of being single. Here are the deets: I’m living at home with my parents. I moved in in mid-June, with plans to move out with EXBF around late fall. I work full-time in an office very close to my parents, and I have a part-time waitressing jobs, mostly on weekends.
