September 7th, 2025: Final day of the workweek today, I woke up at 6:30am and had some more cereal and said hi to James. I made myself some coffee and noticed that my powdered french vanilla flavoring was going down. I put my nametag on and grabbed a plastic bag and emptied some baking soda into it. Taking it on the bus was extremely risky but I took that risk and I made it to work without getting detained for allegations of cocaine production. I got into work and saw my tasklist included the beverage cooler and stocking half of the store. I first grabbed an empty white bucket and filled it with hot water and the baking soda, I put Ignacio’s rug in and let it soak. For the beverage cooler, I was kind of distracted by my phone but I powered through it, I said hi to Paula and she said hi back. I stocked that part of the store. At 9:17am, the priest texted me:
<Hey Gemerson, if we can find another person to help, would you want to join to serve at mass today?
I replied to him:
<I am currently at work but I will no longer be working Sundays after September 21st.
When I went upstairs to print my pull list out I forgot how to do so. I asked Jesse for help and he helped me. I went over and then went on my first break. I then got off my break and checked the items. The system the new list has is absolute shit, it’s not in chronological order, the items names were nondescript and sometimes they were the same for items that varied in size. At 11:44am I had this conversation with Dollar Store Asuka:
>Welcome back
<thanks
<i needed that tbh
>You needed that?
>tbh?
I’ve fucking tired of working at this place and it has gotten worse. I started cleaning the windows and then went on my lunch break. I had a prosciutto sandwich, some chips, and a lemonade. I didn’t finish the chips so I saved them for my last break. Sabrina gave me a creepy look and then asked me:
“Did you find that scary?”
I chuckled a bit.
“No, sadly.”
I replied. Jesse had me take some pizzelle makers up to the attic and in the breakroom, I told Paula about the pizzelle maker and she just brushed me off. I was surprised but later Jesse asked me what my favorite wine was and I said I liked the Moscato I sampled. I went on my final break and then started closing a bit early with Hill, while taking out the trashes, I saw the Black cat in the window I found out his name was Lucius and the owner was a muscular White guy. I left at 4:37pm, I got on the bus early and sat across from the 2 girls from Suwon and this 3rd girl who was actually from Hanoi, Vietnam, she’s in her last year and we exchanged Instagram accounts. I got off at my stop and walked over to the church for the 5:30pm mass. There was a sign up list for extraordinary ministers and ushers… I just sat in my pew praying. When the mass started it wasn’t Father Palmer but the Colombian guy, he led mass not so good and Elijah was acolyting along with the usual bearded guy and 2 other kids. Elijah’s mom sat behind me and the worst part about mass was the homily, mostly being the priest talking about the donation campaign, it went on for 15 minutes and there was no mention of the canonization of Carlo Acutis or of Pier Giorgia Frassati. It ended at 6:12pm and when I went up to receive my blessing, arms crossed across my chest. He gave me a half-assed blessing. I was upset and ended up leaving just before the final song. I walked to the bus stop and took it home before gaming more and going to sleep finally.

<Hey, me 2
>Yay
I got out of bed and finished off the last of the corn puff cereal, I made myself some coffee and got the last of the french vanilla powder. I posted a Biblejak, got packed up, brushed my teeth and applied deodorant, and then walked to the busy building to hang out there. I decided to get some coffee there and waited. I remembered I had some homework due at midnight, to read Hesiod’s Theogony and watch an accompanying lecture. I walked around the library to get in, why? A couple of months back I mentioned that I proposed an agreement with Asherah’s boss that I was not going to go within 50 feet of her workspace, her boss never replied but I kept up my end of the bargain, so while I was taking this extended detour around to keep my part of the agreement. At 10:26am on my detour I walked in front of this bus stop and Asherah herself was there, looking down at her phone. I instantly panicked and walked forwards, hoping that she didn’t notice me, and if she did, she didn’t care at the least. My heart was pounding through my chest as I made my way to the library. I got inside and made my way up to the second floor to overlook. I wondered if she was going to see her grandmother, our Freshman year she mentioned one time she was taking the popular bus route down to see her grandma that lives in the city. I read the lines and took notes before watching the lecture about the succession myth of Theogony. The thing that they went over was how Gaia the first God gave birth to Ouranos and ate their children before their youngest son Kronos plotted with his mother to overthrow Ouranos and then Kronos and his sister Rhea did the same thing but then Zeus and Rhea teamed up to overthrow Kronos and then Zeus beats the cycle by swallowing his son Metus. I set the video to 1.5x speed and got through that before I headed over to my art history lecture. I completed the accompanying test in 4 minutes getting a 9/10. I packed up and then started walking out, I encountered Markus studying for Latin class on verb conjugation. I walked around until I went to my art history class. The teacher told us this one important line:
“By the time this class is done, you’ll know what Cyprus is, where it’s located, and how to spell it. C-Y-P-R-U-S!”
He talked about the ziggurats in the Mesopotamia region and the Sumerian civilization from c. 5500 BC - c. 1800 BC with the Akkadian civilization from c. 2334 BC - c. 2154 BC which came after it. I got done with my class at 12:20pm and walked over to my discussion class. The woman in charge said she studied Japanese art for her degree but she hates the politics of Japan…My guess she’s an Unseen Japan fangirl. She asked us what our favorite artist was for our introductions and I said Hirohiko Araki (real name: Toshiyuki Araki), there was multiple mentions of Claude Monet. I saw this one girl who kept staring at me. Once we got done with the introduction we finally left, I held the door open for a lot of people. Until I went back to the busy building and waited around there. At 3:16pm I saw Lara but didn’t get to talk to her, I did send her a message asking about her parent’s religious affiliation because of a joke I wanted to tell relating to her actual name. I got a Snapchat message from Dollar Store Asuka at 3:52pm and this disastrous conversation that ensued.
<happy bday
>Come to the [busy building]!
<what for?
I just wanted to play a prank and tell her there was no surprise.
>Suprise!
<!!
<idk man i just got a shot in my leg
<i was gonna go home from the gawdamn student health and welnnesss center
<wellness
I read over it a bit fast and I thought she said she got shot in the leg by a crazed nutjob wielding a gun. Such a poor “Fuck you!” excuse that I got so mad
>
<
>Get AIDS
She got so mad at me that she said AIDS was the only thing she wouldn’t joke about. At the moment of transcribing, they’re gone but she thought it was a joke instead of me just being angry in the moment. She ended it with
<LOL
I replied with 2 apologies but deleted them, she never read them. I went back home and just stayed in bed feeling super sad that my day had just been going shit. I gamed more and then went out to the living room and browsed my phone James came in and didn’t notice me somehow and got shocked by not noticing me. I went back inside and continued doing nothing until 6:48pm when James came into my room to tell me:
“By the way I made some tacos, you can have some if you want, and I just had a concussion so if I’m acting super weird just let me know.”
So I went out and got my food, he told me that he was trying to see where something on the top shelf was and jumped up into a low hanging support thing and hit his head. He ended up fascinated with the green translucent leftover container lighting up the fridge. James told me he’s gonna see the chiropractor tomorrow. I went inside and then got a call from my father at 7:26pm wishing me a happy birthday. I wasn’t super happy during it and he could tell, the phone call ended at 7:29pm and I continued to game until 8:17pm when I got a facetime request from this girl I went to school with but she didn’t join. I then got a text from her which sparked this conversation:
<Sorry, my phone decided to FaceTime you instead of texting lol but happy birthday!
>What, I would have loved to FaceTime!
>And thank you so much!
<Lol just wasn’t what I meant to hit hope your day is going well!
>It’s not sadly, saw someone I was afraid of seeing and got into a fight with a friend.
<Oh no I’m sorry to hear that
>Thanks, college is probably treating you better than me.
<I’m sorry that’s it’s difficult. Is this your last year?
>Yes, is it the same for you, I have lost my stable social life after moving off campus.
<I’ve definitely had some friendship fallout
<But one more year and then you can move on
>I just have had way too many friendship falling outs, they never talk to me over social media and they’re more receptive in person, but I hardly see them in person anymore.
<That’s hard
She just sounded inconsiderate at this point.
>Once I graduate college, my opportunities to socialize with others are going to be very low. Like I want to get my friends back, find a wife and all that stuff but I just feel like I’m not in control of what goes on in my life and it’s just the same cycle as senior year of high school.
<Yeah I get that these big transitions are really hard. You will find the people you are meant to find though
>I just don’t think it’s going to recover at all. I didn’t manage to build any friendships of my workspaces outside of them.
<I’m sorry
>Thank you, I wish there was something you could do but the only people who could do something won’t.
<That sucks
>Yeah, I am super fortunate to talk to you again and I wish we could talk more.
<Yeah I agree
>We could text more often.
>What do you want to do after college.
<I’m working on applying for grad school to be a speech pathologist but the whole process is so uncertain so we’ll see where I end up
>I just want to go straight into the workforce and I got a job already lined up.
<Nice! What job?
>IT support, I start September 22nd.
<That’s awesome!
I took a shower and then finally went to sleep feeling slightly better.

September 9th, 2025: Another day of classes. I awoke at 7:00am and went to buy more cereal to replenish my depleted stock. I got back as James the Greater was departing for his chiropractor’s appointment, I gamed more on my computer and posted a Biblejak to catch up until I decided to head out to the busy building to get coffee. I noticed the Syndey Sweeney lookalike while getting coffee and also saw Sonja walk by. I grabbed it and then walked around a bit more before heading over to my operating systems class by 10:00am. I sat in the back next to this woman and put my phone on the charger nearby. I regret drinking two cups of coffee at once because I was super jittery. I left once and then came back before getting let out of that class a bit early. I walked to my second class and saw Nintendo girl and then Chapelle before waiting for a bit. Talia was waiting for a class at the same time as I was, I talked with her for a bit until I went in. Some other students and I arranged the table so all of us would be facing forward. I sat next to the same girl as last time and we practiced the accusative case with foods and drinks. We watched this music video for the song Schokolade and it was quite amusing, although I’m not sure which of the 3 men was the grandson of the old lady in the video. We then had this partner activity to ask 2 others which thing they liked more between two options. The options were:
•Kaffee oder Tee? (Coffee or tea)
•Pizza oder Tacos (figure this translation out yourself)
•TikTok oder Insta (Chinese goyim pacifying app or Instagram)
• Hund oder Katze? (Dogs or cats)
•Spotify oder Youtube (Most of these are loanwords)
•Sommer oder Winter (Summer or winter)
•Eis oder Schokolade? (Ice cream or chocolate)
•Brewers oder Bucks? (Brewers or Bucks)
And I chose: coffee, pizza, instagram, cats, Spotify, summer, ice cream, and the Bucks. After the class was done, I wandered around the busy building to look for something for lunch to eat. I wandered to multiple different places but their lines were too long so I just ended up not eating lunch. I wandered around more until I decided to head to the library. I got up to the 3rd floor and as I was walking to my own spot, at 1:34pm I saw a woman who looked like Lizzo hunched down at a desk, I took a risk and decided to go up to her and wave at her, she looked up and said to me:
“Hey Gemerson!”
I mouthed to her we were on a quiet level and then mouthed again to tell her I was gonna study over in the corner. I went halfway through one German quiz when I saw I had to listen to what this audio said so I quit that and completed a different German test. At this time I remembered the Benjamin Franklin effect, I decided I would try it on Lizzo by asking her to watch over my backpack while I got a water bottle. At 1:50pm I wrote in my notes app:
>Can you watch over my stuff Lizzo, I need to get a water bottle. I’ll be back to pick it up.
And showed it to her, she agreed and I went downstairs to buy a water bottle. The vending machine downstairs wasn’t working so I went over to the other building for a water bottle. I got it and came back to pick up my backpack and thank Lizzo in a silent way. I went back to my corner and wrote more in my diary until 2:20pm when I got pissed off by a guy on a call next to me so I left. Lizzo noticed me while I was leaving and waved to me, I saw her laptop background was a picture of her and someone I didn’t recognize and I remarked that she was self-centered for having her background be herself, she found it funny to say the least. I went to the map collection. I took one picture:

I then left to head over to the Catholic place. On the way there at 2:47pm I saw a hammock that looked to be free but I noticed Asherah turned away from me setting up a booth for the event, I noticed her hair was super long., like just above her hands. I quickly went away and then got to the Catholic center. The Honduran and this woman were there, we all cleaned, I focused on vacuuming upstairs and the others focused on cleaning the bathrooms. I was frustrated at the lack of suction the vacuum was giving me so I went outside and dumped it out, there was lots of hair in the container and I had to manually fish it out, leaving my t-shirt dust covered. I went back inside and vacuumed up some cobwebs I spotted in the chapel before more people came here and the Honduran, I, and this music lady had cups of chai latte mixed with mocha latte frother from the Keurig machine. The music lady said it tasted like zucchini bread while I said it tasted like Christmas. Quinci and Elizabeth arrived a bit later around 5:00pm and I gave Quinci a tour of the house. Gina came in and I helped her with her pamphlets. More people came downstairs and then mass started at 5:15pm. Elijah was acolyting. I sat next to Mahdi and the guy I thought was Markus’ brother. The priest gave a homily on Saint Peter Claver (June 26th, 1580 – September 8th, 1654) who was notable for serving the slaves in the New Kingdom of Granada. Once we got out and got outside to wait for the taco truck. The amount of people there was unbelievable, there was other than the people previously mentioned: Markus, Kristine, Nephri and her boyfriend, Cronstedt, Magdalus, Danni, Gabriella, Cliffe, Oriang, Swifte, Sideburns’ cousin, Sideburns’ crush, Reuben, Luigi, Seraphim, and Stearns. French Paul was the live music with his guitar. Jade passed out tickets to redeem at the taco truck. In my wait in line I saw Pen Guy come up so I waved to him. He came over and I remarked:
“The line’s super long and it’s hardly moving.”
He told me this:
“Last year when I was here, the line was so long it wrapped around the building and then spilled out onto the sidewalk.”
He went over to talk to Markus. I ordered a beef burrito but I would’ve enjoyed the chicken taco much more. I got some pineapple juice and then after ordering Gina came up to me and asked:
“Hey Gemerson… Are you doing anything this Saturday.”
I replied:
“I’m working.”
“Well I was asking if you would volunteer where I work?”
I was internally angry, I had genuine human connection dangled in front of me and taken away. I ate with Quinci, Sideburns’ cousin, and Gina. I had to grab a real fork and knife to actually eat my massive burrito and actually liked it. It was 7:30pm when I got done eating so I left to walk home. I gamed more and took a shower before going to sleep. But here is the rest of my conversation with the person I went to school with:
>What about your job?
<Right now I’m mostly just working during breaks for a clinic. I do a few projects for them throughout the semester too
>What clinic?
<A pain clinic - pain physicians of wi
>Is this because your chronic pain?
<Sort of, yes
>Aww so considerate!

September 10th, 2025: Another day of classes, I woke up and had the last of my milk with my cereal with James making some scrambled eggs for himself. I made myself some coffee and added hazelnut creamer. I posted a Biblejak to get caught up and then got packed up, heading out to the library, I bought some coffee on the way and said hi to Day. She didn’t recognize me until I mentioned the plastic rings. I waited and then got my coffee then went up to my spot from yesterday to read the rest of Theogony and watch the lecture at 1.5x speed. I completed the quiz in a short amount of time getting a 10/10. I transcribed my blog more and got all the way to May 31st, 2025 at 10:24pm and had to rush all the way to my Classical History class. During the class, we had a discussion about the origin story of Pandora and the Greek’s misogynistic view of women. I should have known what I was getting into with this class, it’s all “interpreting Greek mythology through a modern lens” I left and walked over to my next class through the crowd of people. I got to my next class and just listened to the lecture on different statues, like the Eshnunna shrine statues which date to c. 2600 BC, the Stele of Naram-Sin dating to between 2254 BC and 2218 BC. I got out of that and saw from Asherah’s workplace’s Instagram story that she would be at their table. But the Catholic center table is far far away from hers. While I was walking there I got near Asherah’s workplace in violation of the rule, to make things worse, Asherah’s boss was walking past me, she noticed me and waved saying:
“Hi Gemerson!”
I waved to her but I just resented her more, I hated her fake kindness mandated by university training hiding her secret disgust. I got to our booth and we were next to the Planned Parenthood booth. Magdalus was helping table with the priest and Jade. We had sandwiches so I ate one and invited people to spin the wheel for a free prize. I had the worst luck. I saw James come by and also Quoc. Zephyr, fake Zephyr, Khadija, and Angela were all here but I didn’t interact with them. A super girl wearing headphones came by but rejected our offer. I saw a butterfly with the lesbian Pride flag stuck on her headphones and laughed. This one Black guy claiming to be a pastor debated Magdalus on the doctrine of purgatory, asking for a Bible verse on it outside of 2 Maccabees, I had some pamphlets and brought up 1 Corinthians 3:14-15:
☛14 If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage.
☛15 But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only as through fire.
Then I asked about how the rich man in the parable of Lazarus could be heard by Abraham, he then said all souls designated for hell are asleep and then asked to talk to the priest, he went over and dropped the Father honorific and I could tell through his teeth that he was being as disrespectful as he possibly could. I made a spiral 2 full circles tall with the rosary rings but it got knocked over. I tried asking people if they wanted to spin the wheel for most of them to ignore me, I was frustrated with my luck and hated how I’m just cursed to be uncharismatic. I saw the girl I sat next to in German class with some guy who I thought was her boyfriend, I invited them over to our table but they refused. We packed up at 2:10pm and I finally saw Asherah leaving from a distance. I walked back home and packed my laundry. I heard on the news that 31 year old Charlie Kirk was killed by a sniper. I went out at 3:30pm. I did my laundry but this bleach still in the washer ruined a pair of my sweatpants and slightly ruined my favorite Boy Scouts pants. I dried them and took them home. At 5:10pm I saw a squirrel running off with a pizza slice:

I went over to Bible study at 5:45pm. On my walk there I almost ran into a group of Jewish boys wearing their kippahs and I was wearing my Pentecost medallion, one of them said to me:
“Hey man I like your chain!”
I said:
“Thank you!”
And continued, I don’t think they saw the cross or the Holy Spirit descending as a dove. At Bible study, we first played a card game to get to know each other more. We read through 2 Maccabees 7 and talked about it. At 6:55pm I pointed out the time and Elijah left to go to the Wednesday mass. Magdalus drove me over there, I expressed frustrations with being so off putting evangelization-wise but he thanked me for helping out. I sat next to Collum and his super old friend. Sideburns, Elijah, and the Keralan guy were acolyting and mass went through as normal with Father Malachi, Father Aquinas, and Father Palmer. When we got out for the social event I talked with Sideburns’ cousins and her boyfriend and Quinci, Quinci told me of this huge nest of spiders and went to me because she was scared. I went over and was fascinated by its sheer size.

I spotted Marc talking with Elizabeth. I spotted Liseuxa and asked her why she came:
“Well I heard that my boss Charlie died so I came here to pray.”
She said, I replied:
“Your boss?”
“I worked for Turning Point USA but I never met him.”
I asked for a ride home but she said her car was too messy. I took the bus home at 9:20pm and took a shower before eating some Froot Loops because I was hungry. I finally went to bed.

September 11th, 2025: Happy 9/11 day! Fun fact: My mom used to babysit the kids of one of the guys who died during 9/11, I remember her telling me his name when we went to a 9/11 museum on our December 2022 trip to New York City. Another day of classes and work. I woke up early and went to the grocery store to buy some more groceries. I got milk, 8 bananas, a loaf of bread, and I kept thinking of what else I should get, so I added 18 eggs to it. I went back home and made 2 softboiled eggs with 2 slices of bread, one with blackberry preservative, one with vegemite. I made coffee and then drank it. It was near 8:30am when I tried to go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and apply deodorant. When I accidentally opened the door on James, I went back into my room silently and avoided him for as long as I could. I had to go to therapy by 9:15pm so I got packed in my room but then I as I was walking out, my roommate said to me in a raised voice:
“You see that’s why you always keep the door closed…”
I closed the front door and locked it behind me without a word, walking out to the bus stop. I got a text message from James at 8:58am:
<Apologies if I seemed upset, just was surprised
I took the bus at 9:05am and got off at 9:10am. I walked over to where I was supposed to have therapy today and got to the floor it was on, I was early so I tried to go to the men’s bathroom on that floor, locked, I went downstairs to that bathroom, locked, I went upstairs from where I was, unlocked but with the weird elevation change. I got back and checked my text to see I was scheduled for Thursday September 18th. I walked back downstairs and out past a group of Black men to walk all the way home. I got in while James wasn’t there and packed up my 210 book apocrypha Bible and walked over to campus for my first class. In my first class we had our first activity aka quiz which was to write down the CPU processing order for shortest item first method giving various tasks of varying lengths and arrival times and to calculate the average time it would complete. I did that easily and then walked over to my German class. The girl I usually sat next to changed seats so by the time everybody was here (11 people in total including me but not including the professor) I was the only one sitting alone because there’s 2 to a seat. I zoned out for most of the class except for the music video we watched, the 4 women came off as extremely obnoxious with no respect for other’s personal audio spaces. and for our partner activity I first did it with the professor. I got out and saw Talia before heading over to the library. I got inside and wrote in my blog for a bit, I went past where Lizzo sat previously to my usual spot. I studied for a bit until I left to go over to the meeting spot at 1:00pm. I got there with 2 others from my group until we made our way up to the 3rd floor. I saw Torvalds in the study lounge with us. The Indian guy joined via Discord voice call and we discussed our ideas, I suggested the 3rd one be a research organizer while we threw around some joke ones, the girl said a dog walking app and also an app for sex offenders to meet, I also added a database for people called Palintwor and a barebones social media app called Whatsupp. I heard the Logan in our group was in a band and his drummer worked with the girl in our group. I left at 2:15pm, walked home and got dressed before getting to work at 2:50pm, I just had to do the beverage cooler and then go on with my closing tasks. I purchased a drink from Safiyya and she said to me:
“I miss fAsherah.”
I agreed with her. I worked while John was there. And I had a date after work. I bought some of these hazelnut Pirouline sticks, I gave one to everyone up front including Tiffany. The girl that didn’t speak much English took two. At 4:52pm I saw Cara posted on Snapchat a picture of her Gecko with the caption:
<Happy Birthday Jupiter!!!!!
With the number 3. I screenshotted it and got this conversation:
<why did you screenshot my gecko?
>Why didn’t you screenshot my gecko?
<you have no gecko
>Sad!
>I’m just finding this out!
<aw im sorry :( that must be really hard
>Yeah
I got to work on my closing tasks and did them all in order I usually take them and leave. We scheduled our date for 7:05pm and the nearest Noodles and Company but she told me she was running late. I waited outside until 7:18pm when I saw her walking over. She was much shorter than me, quite wide, wearing a pink dress with some blue jorts to go with it. The date went super well and she told me she works at a hotel downtown and lives with her mother because her father’s in Mexico. She ate some of her buffalo mac and cheese while I ate all of my Japanese noodles. I also got the lime Coke they have at those super fancy soda fountains. She was weirded out by it but I showed her them. I asked if had heard about Chris Chan, she said no, she also hasn’t heard of She then told me to come out to her car for a gift, she got me a Goomba plushie because she couldn’t find a Funky Kong one (favorite Mario Kart Wii character)


She then asked where I wanted to go and I said I didn’t know so she suggested the lake, but she made me drive, I was quite good and managed to get there, we walked a bit near the boats and I got to show her this introductory video about Patrick Sean Tomlinson, we kissed a few times and eventually she wanted to go back to the car. We got in with the video still playing and she kept kissing me, it was clear she wanted to go further, asking to touch my dick but I passed up on that. I didn’t pass up on touching her ok breasts. It was nearing the end of the video and the sound from the Josiah tapes of Josiah Munoz saying over the phone:
“You’re a fat cacaot with bitchtits.”
Sending us both into a fit of laughter. We talked more and eventually she drove me home, kissed goodbye and I went back into my apartment. I took a shower and went to bed.

September 12th, 2025: I woke up at 6:41am to knocking at the door, I checked my messages to find two texts, one from 6:01am and one from 6:40am from James saying:
<Yo are you awake
<I locked myself out of my car, was wondering if you could let me back in the apartment
I went to unlock the door and he said to me:
“Thank you so much dude, I’ll get you coffee as a repayment!”
I got my cereal and he made scrambled eggs. He gave me the rest of his coffee in the pot. James was on his computer at 7:35am and he told me about this South Korean girl he was seeing. I asked what her name was and he told me it was the same as the tall girl from Suwon. I pulled up her Instagram account and showed it to him. I asked:
“Is this the girl I was talking about?”
He said:
“Oh yeah that’s her!”
He said she asked him his height because she was as tall as the average South Korean male. She invited him to workout and he said he might ask her out soon. I just felt a kind of anger built in me, why did everybody else get asked by others to hang out. I just hated it. I finally got packed and went to my only class of the day at 9:30am. I bought a Monster energy and drank it to see nobody there. At 10:01am I asked in the Discord:
>Wait do we not have class today?
And A10 replied to me:
<no
<we are gonna have class only 2 more times in this semester
I felt stupid and then walked home. The girl I went on a date with yesterday said she wanted to buy this plushie but I found out that the Charlie Kirk shooter was caught, his name is Tyler Robinson and his own dad turned him in. Also the new prime minister of Nepal Shushila Karki over Discord, yes Discord. Well I got to work at 12:50pm and clocked in 3 minutes later, I saw my task list was a bit longer and I had to do the beverage cooler assigned by Jesse. I tried joking with Tiffany about her possibly being late but she gave me the silent treatment. Sabrina was there and she asked if I was working tomorrow so I said yes. I saw a guy dressed like Nate Higgers:

I continued working and bought some ravioli for my dinner before going on break at 4:50pm before working on all my 7 closing tasks in order. While I was scrubbing the backroom floor, Malcolm came by and told me:
“Getting those floors clean man!”
I actually got out super early. Like at 6:35pm. At 6:38pm I saw Nora getting Polish ham from my grocery store and we talked a bit before she left. I took the bus home. I went to buy a 2 liter bottle of cherry cola before going home and talking to James more. I gamed a lot and then took a shower before seeing James the Greater in his room reading from the Bible. I finally went to sleep.

September 13th, 2025: Another day of work, I woke up at 7:00am and had breakfast with coffee to go with it. James had left and I saw his bed stripped of its sheets because he always leaves his door open. I got dressed for work and I put on my name tag. I took the bus and clocked in at 9:24am. My work list was pretty normal. I did the beverage cooler and there wasn’t much there while Jesse had some more tasks for me. I went to clean the bathrooms instantly after that and the toilets downstairs still had the leaking issue but whatever. I saw Matt joking around with Folsade. I found 3 cartons of buttermilk and 8 bottles of chocolate and peanut butter milk that were expired so I marked them down and drank one of the chocolate and peanut butter milks, I felt kind of sick so when I went upstairs to the warehouse, I asked Anne if I could help her on her delivery but she said no. I saw Jesse and Hill talking about Hill making his friends sign a contract when they went over to his place to not swear. I got to doing the window cleaning tasks. When I went on my first break at 11:30am, I bought these mini toasts for $2.59 and grabbed the expired Santé cheese and cut it up onto the tiny toasts.

I got done with my break and continued with some cleaning tasks. There was a guy sampling wine and talking to Lebanon, he offered me 2 samples of wine throughout the day. One of this white wine and another of this red wine. This one brand of white wine was on sale with an extremely good discount. I wiped down all the windows and that was my last task with Jesse gone. I re-downloaded Plants Vs Zombies Heroes and played that a bit. I went upstairs to the attic to chill there until Ignacio came up so I just said I was looking for the items to hang up in the store. I checked the one I had in mine and it was just the same as this one downstairs. I got to work on my 4 closing tasks today with Hill. I forgot to grab the wine and buy it so I just took the bus home. I got on my computer to play Plants Vs Zombies DLC and cleaned up a bit. I was feeling extra burnt out because of work so my dinner was just 2 softboiled eggs, peeled and eaten like you would hardboiled eggs. I tried to turn on the television to watch the Sharpe series but the remote was dead. I poured myself a cup of beer. At 7:41pm I started watching RedeemedZoomer’s video KingdomCraft: Are Catholics Christian?, published on July 12th, 2022 but I didn’t get a minute through it due to being easily distracted. I find it hard to be entertained or find stuff interesting anymore. Heck I don’t even enjoy some of the video games I used to love but now just feel constant boredom. I took a shower and then just went to sleep.

September 14th, 2025: Final day of work for the workweek. I woke up at 6:00am because of my alarm but only got out at 6:30am. I posted my biblejak for the day and got on the bus to head out to work at 7:05am after a long wait. I got in and worked on the beverage cooler first, lots of diet Cokes were gone. I had to do the task of stocking half of the store and writing up a pull list. I didn’t need to bring down a lot of stuff due to how little we got. I couldn’t use the scan gun because I was still having issues with it being greyed out. I bought a slice of chocolate fudge cake and ate most of it for my first break. After that I brought my pull stuff downstairs and stocked it. I continued next with cleaning all the windows for the cooler and freezer doors and next I went out at 11:30am to clean the outside windows. At 11:37am today, I saw a guy sitting at a table outside wearing a Mount Gay Barbados rum t-shirt. I got most of the way done when I saw Tiffany come in at 11:45am and I spoke:
“Congrats Tiffany, you’re finally here on time!”
She ignored me. I went back in and a bit later I saw her again running up the stairs and I congratulated her again and she said:
“Wow Gemerson you’re being really nice.”
I got some Asiago pasta salad for lunch at 12:32pm and ate it. At 1:30pm Jesse told Hill and I:
“I’m gonna be heading out early and I don’t have anything else on your task lists!”
So I just tried cleaning and did one of Hill’s tasks. I then went on my phone for an hour and talked to Sabrina a bit more until I started my 4 closing tasks early. I got done at 4:35pm but cleaned up more until 5:00pm because the next bus was at 5:05pm. I took that bus home sitting near this obese White girl with huge tits, round glasses, and a hat with a button on it which said her pronouns were he/him. I then got off to walk to the convenience store to buy some ramen, my phone fell out of my hoodie pocket and cracked near the top. I was pissed. I went inside to buy some fancier ramen and took it home. I put too much water in the pot to boil and I overcooked the egg so it was mediumboiled instead of softboiled. I ate the noodles and then dumped most of the soup out. I brushed my teeth a bit while James criticized me for closing the door to the bathroom when I left. I got dressed for church and walked over. While running across a crossing. I saw this girl 100 feet in front of me start running in fear. I watched her do it and I would describe her way of running as dainty and dummyed. I got into church and was handed a pamphlet by Lucas. I got in and sat near the front. I saw Kaitlin and she looked around and moved. I thought she would move by me but she just shifted 2 rows back, to be joined by Rose and her fiancé. Joseph came over to me and greeted me. I told him about the incident last week where the homily was just the priest asking for donations for 15 minutes. He then told me to schedule a Friday night dinner soon. I read the intro thing for the newspapers they hand out:
<In 1937, on the eve of the Second World War, Pope Pius XI wrote to the people of Germany: "The Cross of Christ, though it has become to many a stumbling block and foolishness, remains for the believer the holy sign of his redemption, the emblem of moral strength and greatness. We live in its shadow and die in its embrace. It will stand on our grave as a pledge of our faith and hope in the eternal light" (Mit Brennender Sorge, 26).
<As we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross this Sunday, it's important for us to remember that the Cross, for us Christians, is more than an expendable instrument of torture and death: it is the sign of salvation and victory. This is why the Preface of the Mass for today's feast reminds us the Father "placed the salvation of the human race on the wood of the Cross, so that, where death arose, life might again spring forth and the evil one, who conquered on a tree, might likewise on a tree be conquered, through Christ our Lord."
<The themes, images, and language used by the Church on this Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, remind us of the somber tones of Good Friday. But in the light of Easter faith, we recognize that Jesus is the Father's gift of perfect love to humanity, and so, we are called to believe ever more deeply in the One who has been lifted up, "so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life". (John 3:15). In the Divine Savior,
The lore behind today was that on this day in 320 AD, Saint Helena, mother of emperor Constantine, would find a piece of the cross that Jesus was crucified with and bring it back. And then 15 years later on September 13th, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was dedicated. Apparently a music director named Yassop (Yusof, Yusuf, I didn’t get down the spelling) was making his conversion to the Greek Catholic church and the priest who served in Germany along with Pops doing the official conversion ritual. I saw Aquino and Tapper go up for communion while I just did it with my arms crossed and got the blessing from the priest who visited Germany. He blessed me by doing the cross motion with his thumb on my forehead. While I was leaving I saw Isaiah, I walked back home in the dark and got in, took a shower, then went to sleep.

September 15th, 2025: Another day of nothing of value. I woke up at 7:01am and had then had the last of my cereal with coffee to go with it. I got on my laptop and posted a Biblejak. I had to pick up my package today so I would plan on doing that soon. I walked to my lecture for today later on and got in at 11:30am. At 11:38am, I saw the guy in front of me watching the full show of the Dave Matthews Band performing on August 4th, 2010 (Alpine 2010 Night 2) and looking up the chord sheet for one of their songs. Our professor told us about his work in Cyprus and his team found a stele which said something along the lines of:
<I am the king of all 4 corners of the world.
I remember the table for the chronology of Mesopotamia he had was:
•Neo-Sumerian: c. 2150 BC - 2000 BC
•(Old) Babylonian: c 1900 BC - 1600 BC
•Hittite (Anatolia), Elamite (Iran), Kassite (Mesopotamia): c. 1600 BC - 900 BC
•Assyrian: c. 900 BC - 600 BC
•Neo-Babylonian: c. 600 BC - 550 BC
•Achaemenid Persian: c. 550 BC - 350 BC
They mentioned the 2100 BC Ziggurat at Ur and also this Gudea guy around the same time who imported diorite so a bunch of statues of him praying would be a would be everywhere in the kingdom (probably smaller population wise than your city) These statues of Lamassu which had 5 legs depending on the point of view you had. The Apadana in Persepolis with the engravings of people walking up the steps and then we got onto the Egypt unit now. With this Egyptian chronology:
•Predynastic: c. 3500 BC - 2920 BC
•Early Dynastic (I - III): c. 2920 BC - 2575 BC
•Old Kingdom (IV - VIII): c. 2575 BC - 2150 BC
•Middle Kingdom (XI - XIV): c. 2030 BC - 1640 BC
•New Kingdom (XVIII - XX): c. 1550 BC - 1070 BC
•Late Period (XXV - XXXI): c. 712 BC - 332 BC
I found it actually enjoyable, the professor had a great sense of humor. At 11:52am, the guy in front of me changed to a November 18th, 2010 show by the Dave Matthews Band performing at Bellevue Mall in Seattle, Washington. I had to put my laptop on the charger because it was at 5%. Eventually we made our way over to our discussion and we had to discuss this one art with the war side and the peace side. I did it with my person of hair color to the right of me. We got along well and I noticed the woman who was staring at me last week kept doing it. I got out of the class and had nothing for lunch. I went to the library to write and do my Greek Mythology class assignment. I knew the girl I went on a date with was coming to campus to help with going back to college. I met her at the fountain and we walked over to the building she needed to be in, she kept trying to not go in but I had to be super persuasive. She went in and was told to go to a different building but she said she would do it online. I told her to do it within 2 weeks and then we went to her car, kissed a bit and then drove to my home. There was an obstruction in front of it so we parked behind this car and kissed a bit more. I joked with her that the television in the minivan in front of us was playing Bluey, I then saw this trashy White woman walk out and go to the back passenger side door. She had a cigarette in hand and put it out near her child and said in an angry look:
“Look, don’t go crying to me about something you did!”
We just stared at each other, I asked if she could drive me back to the library and she agreed. She seemed sad and when I tried to lean in for a kiss goodbye she refused. I got off and said bye to her then I texted her at 3:27pm when I got off:
<Text me when you get home safe.
I continued writing and even went on KiwiFarms despite being in a public place. I got a text from my date at 3:59pm and the conversation went as follows:
<I’m home
>Yay!!!!
>Did you have fun and will you keep your 2 week promise.
<I did have fun! Thank you for coming with me to the hall.
<I’m just a little confused and upset on why you had me driving to your apartment and then back to school, I thought we were going to hang out for a little bit. But Gemerson if you don’t want to or have things to do I rather you tell me then have me driving back and forth :/
>I didn’t anticipate the huge line of busses preventing us from getting through and I didn’t want to park behind that trashy lady.
<Well then I wished you would have said all of that in that moment or at least when I told you I was upset, instead of just saying “ok bye”
>I’m super sorry I was kind of cold today. I’d still like to do the Mario Kart Wii tournament with you.
I finally went back to studying and talked to my mom first about picking up my package:
<Did you get your package?
>I’ll pick it up tomorrow, do you know which UPS store?
<No, what did the drop off note say?
>It said to pick it up somewhere but I’m not at home currently.
<Dad sent you a tracking link.
>He didn’t send me a link.
I went home and grabbed the sticker on my door, I got an address and went to it. When I got checked in with the guy, he told me I misread the address. I was near a grocery store so I bought some pretzels? A cabbage, and some Blue Hawaii flavored ramune, I took the bus home and opened the ramune for it to spray everywhere. I cleaned it up and boiled some mystery ravioli in the freezer while James was cooking some chicken, rice, and cut up vegetables. I got done and put some marinara sauce on it and ate the cheese ravioli. James said to me he was thankful to have me as a roommate before heading back into his room. At 7:07pm I had this text conversation with my dad over Whatsapp.
<Gemerson use this tracking number to track your package.. it's the receipt I sent you above
>It’s ok now!
<Oh really? Cause your mom says I'm not communicating and I don't think that is the problem
>I found out where to pick it up!
Wow, way to treat me. I got some beer and then gamed until taking a shower at 9:00pm and went to sleep.

September 16th, 2025: Another Tuesday, I woke up early and had no more cereal so I went to the busy building to get some pancakes and eggs for breakfast. I ordered from an Indian girl but she ended up taking forever to cook my order, I got some milk to go with it and saw I accidentally got hashbrowns instead of pancakes. I ate it regardless and eventually saw the guy I thought was Markus’ brother and moved to sit across from him. I asked if he was coming to the Tuesday night dinner but he’s going to the Charlie Kirk memorial in Waukesha at 4:00pm. He left then and I just felt a sense of hatred towards him, he clearly hated me first, detested, despised. I walked to my computer science class and only stayed 10 minutes before heading home. I dropped off my backpack and walked to the package pickup, hearing someone play some of The Rolling Stones along the way. I got back and unpacked my stuff, a few pairs of black pants and 2 black shoes. I went to my German class and sat alone again, but there were 3 tables with only 1 person so I went to one of them. I got called on one point when I didn’t know what to say so I blanked out. I got out and went to the plaza where they were holding this Mexican fest. I saw one of Lara’s friends and I knew she saw me but didn’t say hi. I spotted Ginger girl’s friend, the construction guy, and Keleche, all from my art class last semester. I saw Luigi once but the second time he didn’t notice me. I bought a bag of Oreo minis for lunch and walked to the library. While I walked back from throwing the bag away, I saw Lizzo walking somewhere. I waved at her and then pointed at her but we didn’t talk. I wrote in my blog more in the Library, just feeling a sense of hatred for everyone in my life for how their “kindness” is just fake. I felt exactly like this soyjak:

I also found this stray book lying around called Evil: The Shadow Side of Reality by this John A. Sanford guy, I debated bringing it down to put it back but I forgot bruh:

I went back home and saw James again before going over to the Catholic center to see Cronstedt, the music girl, the priest, and this other girl who was born October 21st but didn’t have a pareal woman Saint despite being confirmed, I grabbed volume IV of Butler’s Lives of the Saints 3and opened up to the October 21st page and read off potential Saints for her to use. I went downstairs and then outside to see the 4 student leaders including Cronstedt. I saw Sonja and she said hi to me. Hannah was there but we didn’t interact. Mass went through as normal with Elijah acolyting. When I got out I drank my half a bottle of beer mixed with water in my water bottle to help me socialize and then they sang Ava (not here) and I a happy birthday. I was behind the married girl’s younger sister but she talked with this other guy rather than me. I got pasta and bread from Sonja and her friend. I ate with Markus, Mahdi, the Honduran, oh and that one dummyed prodcuck mixed race girl, you know how half Black half White people look extremely generic, yeah she straight up had a no soul stare out into space. I also saw Sideburn’s cousin and I ended up going back in for the food that Jade’s mom cooked. Nephri was there when I got seconds from Sonja, which was me eating the piece of garlic bread she gave me and asking for more. She laughed. I went out and gave up my seat so Pen Guy could sit. I then went over to Sonja and she told me she was half Lebanese and half Polish. I left and went home to game a bit until I went to sleep.

September 17th, 2025: Another day of classes, I woke up at 7:00am and made myself softboiled eggs for breakfast with 2 slices of blackberry jam toast. I had a weird smell in my room, I can’t pin it down but it isn’t the smell of a rotting corpse. On my walk to campus, I saw this White homeless woman pushing her cart around and yelling at everybody in sight. I went to the library to study a bit more there and then went over to my classical mythology class for the week. The teacher mentioned that there was a debate we had to do soon about if the gods were good for humanity in Greek mythology (I never saw any rule prohibiting bringing up the Bible…) and our practice debate is if Zeus having kids with women other than his wife/sister Hera was ok or not. The Korn fan wasn’t there to my dismay. I left once class was done to head over to my second class: art history. The art history professor told us about a talk that would be given by this famous Egyptologist named Pearce Paul Creasman. We went over lots of different stuff that was taught to us about Egypt. Firstly the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamen, who ruled from c. 1333 BC to c. 1323 BC in 1922 AD. The Palette of Narmer in c. 2920 BC, the Mortuary precinct of Djoser at Saqqara from c. 2630 BC to c. 2611 BC and 3 tombs for 3 pharaohs of the 4th dynasty from c. 2551 BC - c. 2472 BC. I got out of that and went to the busy building to buy some chicken nuggets for lunch and then went outside to see this crowd forming at 12:24pm over an anti-abortion guy. The crowd was ok but it turns out that it was for a different woman. Sister Cindy, she came out at 12:40pm and we had to move over to the library to watch it. She started giving her lecture on her campaign, with her repeatedly chanting:
“Honomo!”
And talking about how it’s bad to have sex, she said she’s been celibate for quite a while (her husband died June 6th, 2022) and encouraged all the women to do the same. She even talked about Lesbians not realizing that they’re still whores because homo sex is still sex. Sister Cindy went on a rant about how you shouldn’t go to Mexican restaurants because within 1 margarita you’re having anal sex. I saw Markus’ brother in the crowd and tried waving to him but he didn’t notice; however, Luigi did see me a bit later and we talked a bit. At 12:57pm, I saw Asherah and Logan come over. Logan was clean shaven and fat but taller than me, white skin, black hair. And there was this one employee that I didn’t recognize with silver hair, probably dyed. I went into panic mode and occasionally glanced over at them just to make sure Logan wouldn’t come over and tell me to leave Asherah alone or else he’ll beat the ever living shit out of me. I was wearing my leather jacket and my Aruba cap. They stayed there a bit and then left, it looked like the employee was comforting Asherah, I really couldn’t tell. But I just can’t believe I make women cry by being many meters away from them and don’t even interact with them. I eventually moved into the library and worked on my Greek mythology class homework due tonight and wrote in my blog more. I eventually went home and got prepared for Bible study, I poured the rest of my beer into my water bottle. I went to the Catholic center and wasn’t noticed by the 4 leaders there except for Kristine. I walked back home and got packed for Bible study, purchasing 2 2 liter bottles of soda and bringing them to the store. I saw that one fat girl with the He/Him hat on the bus again, I got off after she did. Magdalus had us hop around Genesis going from chapter 2 to chapter 5 and in between, teaching us about the Protovangelium, AKA Genesis 3:15:
☛15 And I will make enemies of you and the woman, and of your offspring and her Descendant; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise Him on the heel.”
He mentioned relating to the enmity between men and women that when he was at this Catholic center for UW-Madison, he said you could draw a line down the middle during the dinner and split all the men and women. Elijah took more pizza and then we ended at 7:11pm when I pointed out the time, and Elijah made his way over to the chapel for Eucharistic adoration. When I went to go outside to drink a little, the younger priest from the trad church asked me:
“Uhh do you know where the sacristy is?”
I pointed him inside and to the right. I sat in front of 3 nuns and way ahead of Cliffe and Collum. I read my Apocrypha bible more and finished 2 Esdras. I stayed until mass had finished with Father Malachi presiding and went outside to socialize. I drank the rest of my beer mixture and the first two people I saw leave were Sideburns and his Asian friend. More people came out like Rose and her fiancé, I asked them about Maui and she said he misses me. Sideburns’ cousin and her boyfriend, Elizabeth, Gina, the Keralan man and woman, Cronstedt’s 3 coworkers, and Marc amongst others. I talked first with the Keralan woman for her to complain about her 60 hour workweek but she’s going to Hawai’i tomorrow and her friend is going to California. I then asked Elizabeth where Quinci was and she said she’ll be out. I had something to ask Quinci. She came out a bit later and I told her to follow me to the spiderwebs and then asked her:
“Hey, could you grab all the spiders for me?”
Her reaction was hilarious, I offered her my sodas but she didn’t drink soda. She then walked over to Sideburns’ cousin and told me:
“You can come if you want!”
I followed her over and the four of us talked about the ethnic festivals, with the last one being the Puerto Rican one, Quinci told me she had nobody to go with but I almost told her I’d go with her but my fear of coming off as a weirdo overpowered that, plus I was working then. I finally ended up leaving soon afterwards to go home on the bus at 9:25pm. I took a shower and went to sleep.

September 18th, 2025: Another day of classes, I had cereal with coffee to go with it and then worked on more sprite sheet stuff. I sadly had to go to my therapy today at 9:15am so I packed up my stuff in my backpack and walked down there, I arrived at 9:10am and saw the door was locked, I waited outside until 9:21am because I thought I would have therapy at 9:15am but I had class then. At 9:22am I messaged Quinci:
>Where has Quinn been?
I went out at 9:29am to catch the bus back to campus. I got some coffee in the busy building. Oriang was getting iced coffee which I found ridiculous, coffee is meant to be consumed hot and cold coffee is disgusting. Day came in, I saw her and she waved to me. I left to get to class. The professor had us review this new time scheduling for CPU processes which was round robin but with queues. We took a quiz on it and I fucked up, but I got out early. I saw a bunch of people setting up for this event at a tech building with Torvalds at one of the tables, he asked me to test this QR code for a Discord invite at 10:53am and it worked. I went back to the busy building. At 10:57pm I saw Day sitting down and waved to her to say hi. I decided to risk it and ask to sit across from her. She said she had to go to a social work class in 2 minutes but I managed to get her Instagram. She talked about being exhausted from going to the gym 2 days ago. We talked about how overpriced the chicken nuggets were here. At 11:01pm I pointed out that it has been over 2 minutes and she left, so I left to head to my German class. I was partnered up with the real woman and he smelled like cigarettes. After 12:45pm I finally made my way back to the tech building where the event was, I looked at a few of the events when I finally saw what I came here for. The free lunch, which was Jimmy John’s, chips and a soda. I walked up to the guy who looked like Narendra Modi but wearing a traditional Englishman’s suit, I got in line and he told me:
“You need to get a ticket from over there!”
I apologized and then turned around, to see two people I didn’t want to see.
Asherah and Logan.
And Asherah waved to me while smiling. I hesitated and went over to them. I said to her:
“Asherah I didn’t expect to see you here!”
With a fake cheer. I introduced myself to Logan and found out his last name, he presented himself as being nice, I was just frustrated with Asherah at this point so I blurted out in front of her:
“Shut the fuck up!”
And left to get my ticket, I just felt so much regret fill me for what I did. I got a veggie sandwich, doritos, and a root beer. I went over to her and we had this short conversation:
“Look I’m sorry about lashing out now. Do you want this as compensation?”
I offered the root beer to her.
“No I’m good, I can get it.”
She replied.
“Won’t Logan just cover for you?”
“Logan?”
“Doesn’t he work with you?”
“No.”
“Oh, then why is he here? Wait how do you know Logan?”
“He was in the UROP class…”
“The UROP?”
“It’s like a seminar class, and then he was also in Khadija’s poly sci classes, so they would come together after the final class, and now he just hangs out.”
“Oh… I just really need to apologize for like this entire year and the past year…”
“Ok I’ve done my fair share too.”
“You just really haven’t talked to me.”
I just left at this point. I went to meet up with my capstone project sans good Logan. I felt sick from the encounter and drained from the root beer. We talked about what we would do for our 3 new items. With an example from a different group where one of the members was this guy who I knew since Freshman year. I remember that he was an asshole to me a good amount and he had the same hair color and last name as Asherah, He was being a particular asshole on October 11th, 2023 which led to this conversation at 9:15am the following day:
>Wait do you have a brother that goes to [our college]?
<No?
<Why?
>Oh thank God, There is this one ginger dune who lives on my floor that has the same last name as you and he is a pain in the fucking ass.
<Damn
<I’ll beat him up
>So considerate.
>Literally every time I go out to the lobby to get a drink of water and he is there he just acts like an ass.
>Especially if there are others there.
<I’ll come with next time
>Why are you being so nice?
>Have you been replaced?
<No I just wanted to see this for myself
<Besides I would defend your honor if it came down to it
>Yup, this is a certified #bodysnatcher moment!
<Blocked!
He eventually calmed down and then this one Asian girl with her White boyfriend (mostly the girl) started being an ass, but later on her boyfriend real womaned out and now she’s single. I laughed so fucking hard when I found that out. We bounced off different ideas. The one girl in my group asked for my phone charger and I gave it to her. We were discussing how a bunch of ideas were being rejected for lacking clarity so at 1:42pm: A10 said:
“Just go to ChatGPT and ask to add more distinction!”
And our group laughed. We left at 2:30pm because the girl had work. I went home and then went over to this liquor store to buy some vodka to help socialize. I got a flask shaped plastic bottle of the watermelon flavor (they didn’t have plain) for $5.99. I went home and poured half of a shot into my metal water bottle and mixed it up. James was talking about his hatred for ROTC because he had to go to camp for multiple days and they had a ridiculous packing list. I got dressed for Eucharistic adoration and took the bus at 6:20pm. I saw the metal can collecting guy and there was one Black dude being a disruption which I came to the awareness of when he shouted ‘noob’ 5 times for no reason. He yelled at some other people and 4 people got off at 1 stop because of him. He tried to kiss this woman he sat next to and she leaned away, but they kissed later, might have been boyfriend and girlfriend. I got off at my stop and walked in to wait for the class beforehand to end. I walked to the Walgreens to buy some mint gum. At 7:20pm I helped set up and Norah came in. Hannah was singing and Father Constanza was also there. I sat in front and Hannah waved to me. Adoration started, I spent most of it kneeling in front before going to confession. I said I haven’t been to confession in 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day and I actually felt sorry for what I did but I was interrupted a bit. I got out and read the entirety of Haggai before the adoration ended. I drank most of my water bottle and went in for socializing. I talked to this one girl who helped set up and Norah for a bit, she only got a red velvet cupcake and I talked with this professor lookalike who said he studied at my college but only stuff that “was useless” like Greek, History, Philosophy, Religion, Latin, and a few others. I showed Norah the bus was coming soon as I was going to leave but she said she bought a car. I took the bus home and walked back. I drank a second shot of the vodka and then went to sleep.

September 19th, 2025: Final day of doing a bunch of closing tasks at work today. I woke up at 7:30am and got criticized for leaving the door unlocked by James. I had cereal with coffee to go with. I got on my computer and reviewed our group's second proposal before submitting it at 9:45am. I had to remove some of the emdashes and add our personal contributions. I went to the library, seeing Sabrina along the way, she told me she was working today. I got coffee at the library before going to the bus stop to try and crunch this leaf but freak out when I saw it was actually the shedding of a bug:




I got on the bus and received a message from Quinci which said:
<Hi, he's been back at school lately. He goes to school in Kansas so he's not around in the area right now :(
I then got off the bus before walking into work to clock in at 12:53pm, I went over to the cooler at 1:00pm to do my first 2 tasks but Ignacio’s mom was working that instead. I went up to the front and I asked Tiffany:
“Did you get to work on time?”
She went to help a customer but told me to stay here. She finally talked to me and she was disappointed that I didn’t tell her I was leaving. I asked for her Instagram and she gave it to me. I saw Malcolm and Tony talking about something. I helped the dubstep guy and John with their pull. I got that finished up in a bit and then worked on wiping down all the windows per Jesse’s orders and got that all done by 2:30pm, I swept up all the stairwells and finally completed all of my tasks for today. I went on break and got a drink. When I got off of break I decided to hang out with the others at the bakery. Lebanon, the Hairdresser, and Paula. The Hairdresser told me that she was raised Baptist with 2 half siblings from her dad’s previous marriage, 1 sibling from her mom’s previous marriage, and 3 full siblings, she’s 29 (she turns that age April 30th of this year) and her younger sister is 22 and her younger brother is 17. She took most of middle school and high school online and constantly delayed assignments until the day they were due. She studied as a hairdresser downtown and got her license but she didn’t do work in that field because she had little opportunity to socialize. She would usually give her mom highlights for her strawberry blonde hair and Hairdresser told me customers would complain when she gave them the dye job she wanted but it turned out weird. I got all 3 of their Instagram accounts to follow. An additional interesting thing today was that I finally went back to talking with the Texan, she posted about reading this Andrea Dworkin book titled Right Wing Women or something, I think Dworkin is a dummyed Jewess. I dusted the wine bottles before going on my second unofficial break. I got gelato before starting on my closing tasks all in order. I clocked out at 6:32pm to catch this bus to Walmart because I needed new headphones. I texted James:
>I’m going to Walmart do you need anything there?
But I found out the bus was rerouted to skip me so that was the end of that. I texted him then:
>Nevermind I missed the bus.
So I took my normal bus home and had some frozen vegetables for dinner while I sent James $150 for the Internet and electric bill while I watched the television. Father Aquinas texted a group of us asking for help moving items tomorrow at a time I would be working. I talked with the girl I went on a date with and told her we could do Mario Kart tomorrow after work. I took a shower and then tried to go to bed with the humidifier in my room because my voice sounded like I had a stuffed nose. Filling it with water and putting the tank on was a hassle, but the filter’s still ok, On the instructions on the humidifier, you had to replace it when the orangeness of it got all the way to the top but it was still near the bottom I had to mop up some of the spilled water. But it made sleeping super good.
