❀ what does it mean to be listening to skrillex in the year of 2024 - that's okay, makes for good typing on the computer music. i am kind of ashamed to say that i still don't know how to touch type/type by memory. my mom worked data entry for the hospital, and papa was a financial advisor (*and originally a computer science teacher!) - so yes, i am a little ashamed. maybe that's a good goal to have tucked within this one. by 2025? ambitious.
❀ literally cheesin over here in my corner of the world - i think it was a good week. i wouldn't say i accomplished a lot, or even that anything especially special happened. but all my interactions with others? quite enjoyable. i feel the love of those around me. i LIED - i went and pole danced for the first time in a WHILE. the studio was the next town over the bridge, and swer ran, which was practically a requirement for me at this point. i wasn't able to do nearly as much as i used to, but i will go back and regain my strength and practice at home in order to be able to bust out tricks like never before ❤
❀wintertime is quite a nostalgic time a year for me normally but right now all i can think about is everything i am looking forward to!! i wanna go skydiving in springtime, watch a few more movies, i wanna catch up on neon genesis evangelion (i can already tell I Will Be Consuming More Media About It), i wanna visit friends, i wanna go ice skating!!! can i find some nice hot springs to visit with the besties ?!?!?! i’m going home for a few days in january, i would like to walk around the loop behind my elementary school the day or evening after my mom’s birthday. i wanna sit on the swingsets and imagine what it would be like if some people were still around, some physically, some presently. i need to bring those photos back to my new home. asap.
ACTUALLYYYYY~ what i’m probably looking forward to most is going to my mom’s village, our ancestral village in summertime, to see it as it is, as it will have been. The whole thing fills me with a mix of despair and hope. ma said that they would relocate the village to an old abandoned gold mining town - they have an air strip, a road that goes from the coast to beyond the town itself, some pre-existing structures (that will be super cool to see in person and take pictures of). but the whole village is on a sand pit in the middle of the sea currently, and mom said that part of it washed away in recent floodings. she also said the ice comes in nearly a month and a half later - within her lifetime! we’re so cooked - yes, she said. what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
❀ i don’t wanna leave off on that as a note so here are a few thing i’m looking forward to seeing in the village :3
1. seeing cousins i haven’t seen in years
2. walking along the beach, looking for seashells in the soft sands
3. seining - a type of fishing that yields!!
4. processing oogruk to make seal oil to feed everybodyyyy
5. BERRY PICKING AND LAYING IN THE FIELDS BEHIND ANHA’S HOUSE
6. esp. PHAT JOOICY AQPIKS MMMMM
7. visiting the bluff and having a picnic with ancestors
8. playing norwegian at like 11pm
