And in case anyone's been wondering how I'm going (let's just pretend for a moment) I have walked into highway traffic once and thought about jumping in front of public transit multiple times. So yeah not great times at the El Brain Royale. But I have a new phone at least.

I have now had two exes sexually assault me during my stupid weak moments of having a post breakup hookup because I wanted to feel that they felt ANYTHING about me besides complete and utter loathing and contempt (both times that's all she wrote). You give away a piece of yourself you don't get back

Someone told me recently they were given a bouquet of sunflowers (she hates bouquets for the same reason I do, you're giving someone something that's dead) and that watching them wilt was like watching me die - starved of sunlight, suffocating, fading away, the light in me just going out

lord save me from people who go 'I wAnT aN oPeN ReLaTiOnShIp' no you just want to be able to cheat on me and *maybe* tell me afterwards if you think I'm going to find out. Rules are rules bitch and 'check in with your partner if you're about to do something for the first time' is a fucking basic one

I also have to find time amongst all of this to go back to big boy University to work towards my PhD, and also develop a medical app that I got talking to a pharmacist recently and they told me it has the potential to be absolutely game-changing, and it sounds like I've got my work cut out for me

pleased to announce I'm going back to school next year to get sound engineer quals. I think about music 24/7, the emotional architecture of sound has become part of my DNA and I'm never not deeply analysing what I'm listening to. This feels like what I should be doing with all that

Took myself on a Catventure in Dromana, ended up at a random bar where some woman immediately said YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE INTERESTING COME HANG WITH US! and I remarked that I wasn't sure what to expect but it was popping off and fun. Was told 'it wasn't like that before you came and brought the vibe'

I'll probably end up with something from each track lol but this album, and tour, hit exactly when I needed them to. When I needed the universe to smack me across the head and say 'what are you doing you fool?'. It's marked and changed me forever, doing this thing

more lyrics for tattoos, from Ghost: 'forget the truth preserve the evidence / it takes a fool to deny what is so evident' and possibly 'i hope this precious balancing act is worth the pain'

Never gotten a tattoo before but after this tour I'm going to get (and get it based on my own writing so it's "me" in there), the name of my most played track from the new album - so 'Aozora' on my left forearm, and the lines 'These things always go south, we failed to dig our way out' on the right

How close I got to the boys in Sydney. Ian was singing directly to me, eyes locked, for a full minute during Opal when I was a complete mess just wracked with sobs #Karnivool #InVerses #tour

Man you think by middle age you know what heartbreak is but trite as it is to say, I understand why it's called that now. Although 'utterly fucking eviscerated' is probably a better descriptor. There's a hole that's never going to fully heal

I can be your bookish soft enby or ur jacked up twink (apparently). AFABs don't generally get the vee cut, prominent serratus muscles and six pack (I do have one just can't see it there) unless their body fat is less than 12-14% which uhh I didn't try for that it's disease related but yeah
