I miss my friends. Like. My two soulmate friends. I haven't seen Ponies in months. Lauren even longer.
Ah, I miss Lauren a lot. She'd hype me up. There's no doubt in my mind that if I were to do something, she'd be right there cheering me on and pushing me. Ponies is a great hype man, but sometimes it's nice to get it from my girl friend. It hits different. I MISS YOU LAUREN.
Dude friends are fine, I just... at the end of the day, I'm a girl. And sometimes I just want a friend who is also a girl, but is like, genuinely happy for me and down to listen and share stuff with. I'm a girl. Like. I'm sorry. WARNING! WARNING!
I miss Lauren.
Sigh
We need to start this with a photo of my petunias. Because they're too pretty to be real and also I thought black flowers only existed in Animal Crossing. So.
Also, 3 blooms. So much green!
Secondly, HAPPY BIRDDAY TO MEEE
Another year being alive, and grateful for the people and things in my life ^_^
While we couldn't do anything like we did in the previous years, Chicken still surprised me with lovely gifts that appeal to both my vanity and my love of practicality!
I'VE WANTED A CYOO TEA SET FOREVER and he did it T____T
I've been using it every day for endless cups of tea. Endless, I tell you. AND. If we've spent enough time together, perhaps you've been exposed to my tangents about Japan's role in WWII with biochemical engineering. If you have, I'm sorry. No one talks about it. But I do. I talk about it. Forever.
So he got me a book about it, where I can inhale everything and spit it back out resentfully at unsuspecting company, while sipping tea, glaring... at nothing in particular. This is sober Cynth. Drunk Cynth goes on tangents about Christopher Columbus. But I digress. I don't even like history, but what I dislike more than history is countries denying their history and not teaching it. I'm not talking about what people think the US does. I'm talking about a blatant, flat out denial by the government, refusal to acknowledge or mention it, ever.

uh oh. there she goes. I'm at an 8, dial it down. Here we go.
How's bout a bonnet?
Me like bonnets. Bonnets good. Had to get one. My face quite literally rejects ultraviolet rays by screaming pus and inflammation out of the pores on my face. I could've gone with one of those circle wide brimmed hats, but lolno.
I'm a bloodborne boss. I tend to my garden, and when you come near me, my arms fork into long sharp appendages that function like giant tentacle-like sheers that cut you in half if you hurt my black flowers. I scream, "WHAT KIND OF MOTH ARE YOU? NNNNNGGGAH!" and just launch at you and try to cut you in half. My hair is just black vines that spit poison. Same thing except the poison part. The only way to hurt me is to do damage until my bonnet falls off. I gradually turn a little more red and scream in pain as the sunlight agitates my grotesque rosacea. It's fine.
This was a gift to myself. FFFFFFFFF THE SUN.
My mama also sent me yummy stuffffff!!! She made pionono and alfajores omg. They're caramel desserts. The top one is like a spongecake, the bottom ones are like... two soft chewey cookies sandwiching caramel. It's hard to describe. But I love theeeemmm...
AAAANNNNND since she's been growing huacatay (black mint) all summer.
She had so much of it that she sent me two jars of the concentrated sauce in oil with aji. In this
state it's not ready to eat, but I've been making aji de huacatay and
we're almost finished with the first jar. If anyone is familiar with
Inca's by campus, that green spicy sauce? It's similar to that. Mmpf. Been using it on everything.
| MORE CAR STUFF
Damn, I have to admit... before Chicken, cars held zero interest to me. None. If anything, that entire subculture came off to me as like ... the flashiness, making spectacles of themselves, the expensive DLCs for looks... exhibitionism was the biggest trait at first glance. I say this now with an obnoxious rig housing a bunch of RGB parts screaming inside it.
Now, I'm slowly shifting that obnoxiousness to my car. But differently. Chicken is far from obnoxious. He just likes comfort and things that look good. I look like Gollum, but that's neither here nor there.
He recently put in red footwell lights in his GTI, and now I want purple in mine. Help.
Um. So.
A few posts back, we learned that Cynth, me, I, suck royally at tinting. But it's my birthday weekend. So I'm going to gift myself something nice.
It came out so sick that Chicken decided to have his windows and tail lights tinted also.
After all of our visits, we both left there will fully tinted windows, tail lights, and he opted for a protective film on his headlights. Later on, I may go back to get my head lights tinted. But what I really want now is to have my hood wrapped with black satin. I've been learning so much, and I wanna do right by Noodle. Also my ego.
But like... now, I'm understanding wanting to customize.
It may very well be, for some, an exhibitionism thing- whatever. But why the shit did I care? I don't even know. It's not that for me, nor Chicken I don't think. He wants something classy. I just want Noodle to match my wardrobe, (Lino asked me if I wanted chrome delete, but honestly I like the chrome because it matches my braces and piercings kek). Uh, but yeah, it's like customizing your PC. Just on a bigger scale. It looks cute. And everyone does it for different reasons. And that's fine. Past Cynth was annoying. Young. Naive. Future Cynth will thank me.
His and hers tints ayyyyy.
Driving back from the shop felt cuuute cuz we drove side by side for a while lol. Stupid xD
Following that, he went in and changed his exhaust out for what I call a purr tube.
Buh it's been fun. Chicken also said now that my tail lights were tinted, LEDs are a safer alternative than the factory bulbs. So he did that for me. At least, the reverse lights. The brake lights come later. He's been doing all kinds of stuff to his car that makes me wanna add cute lights too uwu
ANYWAY OK. END CAR STUFF
BDAY DAY STUFF
Chicken made me dan bing and prepared rose tea for breakfast T___T
Is yummy Taiwanese egg crepes that are sooo so yummy. They taste like dumplings but in crepe form with the yummiest garlic dipping sauce omg. He would make these for me before, but it's been a while. We had a couple green onions we could pick from the garden, but not enough for several. Still yummy.
CONFIRM: FRESH GREEN ONIONS PICKED FROM THE PLANT ARE LEGIT AMAZING
And I didn't find out til later that we were gonna have a bday bbq lol. oH man. They went all out with food
my grandma spoke Quechua.
And, when you go to Machu Picchu, the tourists pay $6487393874 to get pictures with the natives chillin on the roads up the mountain with their llamas and parrots. I know this. Because I've been there twice. And.
That's me.
I'm natives.
OH.
So... my petunias... I learned how to find seeds from them. It was kinda accidental and weird. I saw this pod on one of the dried stems and was like ooh, that's cool. I cut off all the dried stems that lost their blossoms anyway, so I decided to split it open just to see what was inside. And...
I miss Lauren.

There are red reflectors detailing the interior. It looks cool. I just. I...
I don't know how I got here.
And he looked cute changing the oil in his car :\
Um. So.
WOOKIT BULLY BB SO CYOO
HE EVEN HAS HIS EARS INTACT, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WELL BEHAVED BB
Chicken found this place, Top Tint Shop on yelp. Had insanely good reviews. We were out doing errands when he messaged them on yelp, they responded, and said they were open that same day for what I wanted done. So.
THERE'S MY NOODLE before getting fitted for her new vinyl oufit
I was uncomfortable leaving Noodle somewhere all by herself, but it had to be done. It was my birthday. Had no choice.
LINO WAS AWESOME. TLDR: HE'S DOPE. WE WENT BACK LIKE 3 MORE TIMES

waaaah so cyoo
And I didn't find out til later that we were gonna have a bday bbq lol. oH man. They went all out with food
Bacon wrapped shrimp, corn on the cob, steak, ribs, spicy chicken
I whipped up some aji de huacatay and served it with the steak
That feeling when people try something from your culture that you've grown up with, and then they're like damn wtf is this it's so dope, and you're like... thanks man. It really is.
*chef's kiss*
Lifa was at it again with the drinks
Is this offensive? I don't know.
I don't remember how we got into the topic... probably huacatay... it's a Quechua word... andmy grandma spoke Quechua.

Chicken sent pictures to my parents.
Oh yes.
The indigenous people of Peru also get down with brimmed hats. And that's exactly what I think of when I see them worn with certain "aesthetics" kek
There is a bat beanie baby in my shaw. It's fine.
Honestly tho, a while back, I wanted to implement those elements into my wardrobe more, so that's why I even have that skirt and hat. No lie. I went on a shopping spree of different skirts that I could wear casually, with a brimmed hat, and... well, there I am. My parents appreciated everything about it, including the lols and attention to detail

| Oh hey, he's accidentally lighting stuff on fire again :D |
Ahhh, so good.
Everybody chillin
Life is good :B
OH.
So... my petunias... I learned how to find seeds from them. It was kinda accidental and weird. I saw this pod on one of the dried stems and was like ooh, that's cool. I cut off all the dried stems that lost their blossoms anyway, so I decided to split it open just to see what was inside. And...
precious black magic petunia seeds!!
I've harvested several since. And have begun the germinating process to grow more in other pots. They've since exploded compared to the first photo!
UGH
I can't.
Idk what those blotches are tho. Might be from watering. I gotta be more careful.
And lastly, like. I've been playing so much Sense these last few days. It's crazy.
I wanted to finish it before the devs launched the update that makes it modern/conventionally easier.

Dude, Mario only took 2 hits in Super Mario World and then you had to start all over. Like. :|
Whatever. I finished it. And the NG+. There's a small unlockable chapter which was cool, and this update is supposed to iron out some bugs in NG++. So that's what I'll be doing this weekend.
God it's so satisfying to come across an indie game and utterly fall in love with it.
Is she talking to me? Hello? Yes?
On that topic of indie games and coming across teh gems, we were talking this weekend about how awkward it can be when trying to like... talk to other peeps who game. Like;
Hey man, what're you playing right now?
Ah, I just got [AAA title]-
Nice, I was thinking of getting it
Yeah, it's sick. I'm a few hours in and just got to____
Oh you're at _____, I'm watching ___ stream it
Yeah haha. I watch him too did you see xyz? What are you playing?
Ah, I'm actually playing [AAA title] and it's so good
Oh yeah, I'm gonna pick that up next week
VS.
Hey man, what're you playing right now?
Oooh, Sense; cyberpunk ghost story
Oh, cool. What's that?
2D point and click indie game!
Ah, that's cool
Yeah :) You?
[BIG WEINER AAA TITLE]
Y'know?
That's the best I could do. It was more sophisticated in conversation, but the gist of it is that. There's nothing wrong with AAA titles lol. It's just awkward when you're excited to talk about something and the reality is that more often than not, few will have an idea what you're talking about.

idk what I'm getting at.
Indie games are dope. I hope a wave comes where everyone decides to go down the indie game rabbit hole just to see the crazy that's down there. Talk about it. Encourage future devs-to-be to pursue their dream projects and see them through. Because chances are, someone will absolutely love what you created.
And then on the flip side... I recently watched a thing on youtoom on this channel that visits abandoned places. Turns out, there was a school that fed radiated oatmeal to the students because MIT wanted to see what would happen lmao. So MIT and Quaker oats [yep] partnered up to ... yknow... Shiro Ishii* up these kids. And. Fallout 4 totally has a school with radiated "pink slime" that was being fed to the kids, with all these tapes and files you discover in all the desks and stuff, talking about what the school was trying to hide and stuff. Crazy. Idk if it was on purpose, but ... if it was... that's pretty cool.

| screenshot SAVED thank da lawrdt |
This is what I think about now that I'm wiser. RIght? Older = wiser?

i just want chipotle

*Shiro Ishii: asshole doctor during WWII who got greenlit from emperor Hirohito to oversee Unit 731, a covert human experimentation unit for development of chemical and biological warfare stuff. It was pretty shitty.
