I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this
Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs. 

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.” 

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.” 

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with. 

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

Me: I was helpful in a quiz, had fun and met some new people, yay. My brain: You were overbearing and loud. Now everyone will remember you as 'the quiz twat'. I will be reminding you of this at 3am and 5am respectively. Sleep well you unlikeable dimwit. Me: Sigh.

No arrests were made. What the actual fuck? Why yes I do normally sensor my swears but, I mean, why bother when the no-swearing part is inherently more offensive?

Saw an advert for thr festive menu at a local pub earlier. 'Festive'. It is the 4th September. Children are barely back at school. There is the prediction of another heatwave. Things are in no way, shape or form festive. Stop stealing my life you ghouls.

Oh hello new week, you seem to think you're going to go a lot like last week, which was not the best. How about no? How about, instead, just this once, this week is f*cking spectacular?

Well this is brilliant. Utterly enthralling even when you think you know what's going on and, without wanting to spoil the surprise, the tirade DJW has at SH is frankly long overdue. Read it and enjoy a reliably unreliable narrator. Kudos wrapped in seething jealousy for @thewritertype.bsky.social

I have just this minute finished it. It is brilliant. I am jealous beyond belief; both of the way you tell the reader so much and yet keep them guessing even at the very end (I audiably swore), and also because it feels like this must have been really fun to write.

Yesterday I bought loafers. I'd never considered myself a loafer wearer but I needed work shoes capable of cradling my ridiculously expensive insoles so I don't get excruciating heel pain. And then, in one truly horrible moment, I realised how very middle-aged and middle class I've become. Urgh.
