heya cat! how are you doing today? I just got done with a dentist appointment :/

>>81690534 (OP)
heya cat, how's it going?
Doing okay with the heat? Actually starting to cool here a little.

>>81691108
hey gator, how are you?
Good to see you again. Hadn't talked since I got back. Was gonna say I saw a baby gator while I was on my trip when I was in the swamps. Looked a bit like the guy on the left of your picture there.
Was at safe distance(so mom wasn't mad about it thankfully), but really cool to see
>dentist
never fun but it's over

>>81690534 (OP)
Cutting has to be the most retarded act of self harm you can commit. It just hurts and is pretty gay

Why do you do it?

hello everynyan.
i'm feeling oddly optimistic today. first time visiting my father in a long while. asked him if we could cook my favorite stew together, and he accepted. maybe we can actually talk like normal people for the first time in years - i'll eventually update, if i don't forget .
how's everyone today? i am, for the lack of a better word, freezing alive. i fucking despise winter, the allergies and illness it brings with the cold, and everything else. plus, it doesn't even snow here so the views are horribly depressing.

>>81691206
omg hey officeaon!
>how are you?
I'm very meh I guess. lot of mood swings lately. how are you?
>Good to see you again.
aw thanks and you too!
>saw a baby gator
aww that's amazing that sounds Soo cute!! they seem so small and adorable Irl.
>bit like the guy on the left of your picture there.
Ooo nice definitely seems like a cute lil guy then :3
>Was at safe distance
smart hehe i don't know how dangerous the baby ones are.
>never fun but it's over
yea at least it is.

>>81691298
heya lavender.
>i'm feeling oddly optimistic today
I'd say there's nothing odd about that ^^ only great.
>we could cook my favorite stew together, and he accepted
nice I hope it was nice and delicious. and warmed you up from the cold.
>how's everyone today?
I'm fine.
>freezing alive.
oh that doesn't sound fun :/ it's boiling over here tho lol.
>allergies and illness it brings with the cold
that is by far the worst thing about the cold, so much less you can do and being sick is just the worst.
>so the views are horribly depressing.
aww hopefully someday it snows I guess. snow can be somewhat beautiful

>>81691108
Hey ali
>how are you doing
it's berry hot so just sitting inside and drinking
I'm thinking about watching a movie
wbu?
>dentist appointment :/
how did that go?
what you got done?

>>81691206
Heyo
I'm just sitting at home and drinking
it's very hot outside
>Doing okay with the heat
yep, I don't mind it too much
how are you doing?

>>81691241
hey anon
>just hurts
that is the point
>Why do you do it?
there's couple of reasons but mostly now I like being able to hurt myself and not be afraid of pain, also I don't like myself

>>81691298
Hey hey ^^
>feeling oddly optimistic today
that's great :D
hope the feeling lasts a while
>freezing alive. i fucking despise winter,
oh yeah it's winter over there, get some warm clothes or get under a blanket !
Here's it's 35deg C so pretty warm rn
>allergies and illness it
that sucks :<
interesting that you have winter allergies

You guys should stop being such faggots and finish it already.

This is your sign to do it. FUCKING DO IT

>>81691298
hey lavender, long time no see. Glad you're feeling mostly positive
> favorite stew
what type of stew? I cooked a lot past few months and always enjoy stews
> despise winter
always forget you all have the reverse seasons. That's rough. We're all burning up on north side right now, but i do prefer that to cold as well

>>81691388
> lot of mood swings lately
we all have that time to time. Hope you stabilize for the better soon
>how are you?
pretty good. Short week with work thanks to 4th of July (which I'm not looking forward to), but overall things are good and settled back into normal better than last time
>that's amazing that sounds
always fun to see wildlife in it's natural habitat as well. Saw lots of cool stuff, but not being from anywhere swampy this was more special than other stuff I saw this time. Suppose might be normal for people down in Florida lol
> i don't know how dangerous the baby ones are.
danger isn't the baby, but the mom

>>81691560
>it's very hot outside
i can imagine. Like i said other day, might as well stay in if it's too hot. Lots of people get really sick pushing too hard to go out after all
up to anything at all fun? or just chilling
>how are you doing?
I'm okay. Trying to get a lot done before the holiday on the 4th, but other than that pretty boring

>>81691560
>berry hot so just sitting inside and drinking
aw well that's nice to do on a hot day.
>watching a movie
fun, what movie?
>wbu?
I'm okay, just watching a friend play a game.
>how did that go?
it was alright, didn't take too long thankfully and they didn't tell me any bad news or something.
>what you got done?
just a simple cleaning and checkup.

>>81691706
>Hope you stabilize for the better soon
thanks and me too, really not fun.
>Short week with work thanks to 4th of July
well good you have a short week at least, more time to chill.
>which I'm not looking forward to
fair just pure load noises all night.
>wildlife in it's natural habitat
true best place to see then, much better then like a zoo
>swampy this was more special than other stuff I saw this time.
makes sense, swamps are not common at all, and does seem super interesting to visit, living in a swamp doesn't sound fun tho lol.
>danger isn't the baby, but the mom
oh yea true, there gonna protect there baby no matter what. and that vid is terrifying.

>>81691706
>up to anything at all fun? or just chilling
just hanging relaxing
I played some games but I'm not feeling like it today desu
I might watch some movie soon but idk
Also thinking about going on a train trip next weekend
>Trying to get a lot done before the
working again D;
>holiday on the 4th,
do you get a day off then?
>but other than that pretty boring
do you plan on doing anything fun later on?

>>81691866
>nice to do on a hot day.
yep but I have no icecream unfortunately
I wish I had some
>what movie?
idk what to watch
>watching a friend play a game.
what r they playing?
>they didn't tell me any bad news or something.
that's very good news

>>81691866
after my next dentist visit I'm planning to never visit one again because I'll try to take great care of my teeth
>cleaning and checkup.
that's all?
glad it wasn't anything painful

>>81691960
>have no icecream unfortunately
aww that's so sad :( ice cream should be free on hot days.
>idk what to watch
hmm I would suggest something but most Stuff I like is ww2 stuff lol.
>what r they playing?
a extremely hard obby! it's insane he's amazing at it tho.
>that's very good news
yup.

>>81691969
>never visit one again
smart as long as you take good care of your teethe there's no reason to, you don't even really need a checkup.
>that's all?
yea after my last appointment didn't happen they needed to check if my one tooth didn't get any worse.

>>81692437
>ice cream should be free on hot days.
exactly >:c
have you had icecream recently?
>something but most Stuff I like is ww2 stuff lol.
hmm not feeling like watching any war stuff now
but thanks for the suggestion ^^
>insane he's amazing at it tho.
are you gonna play too?
>you don't even really need a checkup.
yep but I'll try going on checkup every few months
>my one tooth didn't get any worse.
and I'm guessing it didn't?

i keep fucking stuff up and if things go bad now i'll literally have 0 reasons for living :C

>>81690534 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
tired.
>Any plans for today?
It was to do homework, but they haven't opened the class yet. I'm working until Tuesday. Got new pants for it.
>Is there anything bothering you right now?
My old boss isn't as nice to me anymore. Maybe she's just done with me, maybe all the niceness was just to keep me on staff. idk anymore.
>>81691108
hi gator
>dentist
how'd they get all those teeth!
>>81691206
hi office anon
>Actually starting to cool here a little.
That's good. I hope it gets better.
>>81691560
hi cat
>it's berry hot so just sitting inside and drinking
good plan
>movie
If you're taking suggestions, I really liked sinners this year.

>>81693594
Hey myaster
sorry to hear things have not been going well for you friend :<
wanna talk about what happens?
>have 0 reasons for living
are you sure about this?
I'd miss you if I never saw you again
you're cool

>>81693653
hello
>tired
D:
work?
>was to do homework, but they haven't opened
good, at least you can rest
>new pants for it.
oo nice, you like them?
>maybe all the niceness was
that's most likely what it was I'd say
she'll probably start being all nice again once she's got a favor to ask
>good plan
yep :3
it was a nice day
>you're taking suggestions
yes of course ^^
thank you, I may check it out
oh rn I'm listening to all we want to do is eat your brains from l4d2 and it made me think about watching the 28years later movie
maybe I can pirate it

>>81694019
I did things that hurted the people I love and I keep doing it over and over, and I think they might leave me. And I don't wanna live a life without them
If I don't do it I'll just be depressed for a while i guess.. but there's still the issue of me pushing people away

>>81694071
>doing it over and over
do they happen by accident or it's not accidental but you can't stop yourself

>>81694222
Accidentally? I guess, It has never been my intention to hurt anyone

>>81694281
do they know that?
maybe they think you want them to leave?

>>81694304
I explained to them I just have to wait till they see my message TwT
Also cute vid
But how was your day cat? (Don't wanna drag down the mood on this thread)

>>81694346
>wait till they see my message

>how was your day cat?

>Don't wanna drag down the mood on this thread

Are you still stressed over whether they saw the message?
Did they get it yet?

hello everyone
>how are you doing today?
fine, my classes are going well
>any plans for today, I was supposed to drive my mom from my work to somewhere else but I forgot and rode my bike to work, she got really mad but found another person to drive her.
>when was the last time you hurt yourself.
I don't remember but sometimes I wish I had deeper scars
>is there anything bothering you right now?
my worsening relationship with my dad, he's become so much more selfish in the past few years, anyone daring to disagree with him is seen as a personal attack, and he once told me "if you're going to cut yourself again do it on your ass where no one can see" which tells me that he doesn't care about why I feel this way, he only cares about what people think of me and him by association.
>>81694800
