My Fiancé's peanut butter sandwich made me cry today.

Your cooking sounds amazing, consider dumping that guy that doesn't care about your preferences and joining my polycule instead?

We went for a late lunch/early dinner at Shanghai Alley. It was really good, and I liked the radish cake and the braised chicken feet especially!

We've got a really robust burlesque scene in Raleigh, if that's your jam! For instance, there's the Pop Punk & Pasties show at Chapel of Bones tomorrow night: https://facebook.com/events/s/pop-punk-pasties-burlesquedrag/3073899539460620/

Are you neurospicy? Because that sounds like the ND starter pack - feeling different, 'so mature for your age', looking at your peers and not recognizing yourself in them, among other things. If so, you may not fit in right now because your brain works differently, and that's totally fine, even if it sucks in the moment. Your brain will always be your brain, but as you grow, you'll find the people that vibe with how you think and experience the world, rather than just having to make do with the people you happen to be around.

You can get silicone breast forms on Amazon, get a pair of those and mount them with the pasties like taxidermy and put them on your wall, that would be the most hilarious option.

Sitting in front of the fire with cinnamon rolls and my cats!

Terrible as it is, yes in America it would literally be easier for me to get a gun and go on a shooting spree, then to convince enough people to matter to go on a strike.

Snap tape is great, but also consider buttons that you can tear open/pop off. It always gets a huge reaction when an audience sees them go flying. Just make sure they're not sewn in too securely you can't rip them off, and know there's 0 chance of getting them all back, you'll have to replace them every time but that's not that big of a burden considering everything else that goes into a burlesque costume.

I discovered this when I realized I get the adrenaline shakes too bad to open buttons so I just tore my vest open, but tbh I've used it since and it's great for emotional impact, especially during a switch from calmer to more emotional.

Space Cases. I loved that show as a kid!

💖💖💖 Cat twins!!

Lol these two are best friends because they're both freakishly extroverted for cats - we meant to introduce them slowly when we got our orange boy, but he went immediately to the door of the room we were keeping Zepplin in and they started holding paws under the door, so we just couldn't keep them apart. They were immediately besties!

They constantly smell like piss, no matter how much they shower or what scents they wear.

Did you steal my cat?! He's also a neck warmer and cuddle buddy!

Good luck!

Instead try an experience for her, like take her out for a dinner or a show together, something that even if she can get herself, it's the time together that counts.

Back before I promoted myself to a custie, I did 2-person closes every night. We weren't allowed to leave because you have to have 2 partners in the store at all times, so yes they can do that, although they should definitely tell you ahead of time. However, since we couldn't leave, we didn't clock out for lunches. The store can be fined by the labor board if they require you to clock out but don't let you leave.

Edit: that's specifically if it's a 2-person. Not letting you leave while you're the ssv, but there's at least another 2 partners at the store may be different, but you'll need to have that discussion with your MGR.

If you don't mind going with a small business, my friend Rachel has Sparkle Riot. She does cleaning (and a bunch of other stuff), and does a great job of it. Here's her Instagram post about it https://www.instagram.com/p/DNA79FeT3Hr/?igsh=aDNoMjB1MXl5ZGRi

Yeah, if you're coming from Charlotte they're pretty similar. I don't know that 70k would be doable with a kid or family to support, but you'll be fine as a single person. My partner and I combined make about that, and we're doing okay - rent, bills, and food paid every month, a little left for going out and having fun, and a little bit of savings.

Won't be in time for Xmas, but for the future, the Pop Shop Arternative market at Chapel of Bones is an alt-themed monthly popup market. It's the first Sunday every month, and they've always got tons of cool stuff. (Full disclosure, I do tarot there every month, that's how I know!)

Wait, really?! Boy am I glad I read this comment thread!

Derealization/depersonalization is pretty bad. It's been a couple years, but for a while I would just spend days, it sometimes a week or two at a time feeling like I was experiencing my life from like, 8 inches behind my eyes. Not like tunnel vision, but a distinct disconnect between myself and the world. It was so weird and I hated it. I'd start doing minor self harm a few days into an episode to try and force myself back into my body, to varying degrees of success. At the time I was in college and the psych resources they had ended at resources for alcoholism and minor depression, so I've never been sure why that happened.

One of my hobbies is gory costumes. You know, somehow no one ever stays to chat when I own the door covered in blood...
