I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan, especially after the last 2 albums, but I'm a little excited for her new one because it sounds like it's going to be Max Martin pure pop And I'm considering going to the cinema for the launch in a couple weeks just for funsies

So, I'm doing a fundraising thing through my work, Steptember, and the more donations I get the more I'll be obligated to go walking. You should donate. Partially because it's a nice thing to do, and partially because most of you have seen my dick for free. www.steptember.org.au/fundraisers/...

I've made a pillow nest on the floor and am having naps in front of the TV The loungeroom is practically dark, the AC is on. This is a good day

Isn't this fun? I can see myself doing it. And I hate myself for it. But it has to be done, there's no other way to release the pressure So, anyway, I'm now on the couch, not eating and not speaking I don't fault anyone not checking in with me. I'm fucking crazy But the pressure is dropping
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social) reply parent
So instead of my chicken tonight, I will eat nothing And just because my brain is telling me to, I won't eat until my housemate picks up a chicken But here's the catch, he won't know I am waiting, so most likely the penny will drop on Saturday morning, after I haven't eaten for nearly 48 hours

These tantrums are the only way I can remotely communicate how it feels to be in the moment Its like my brain is on fire. And I'm being electrocuted And it hurts and it makes me want you to hurt just a little fucking bit so you can just got a second see me
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Nothing else matters in the moment other than doing what I have to do to release the pressure. I don't care I'm being a dickhead. I don't care that I'm being embarrassing and hurtful. Because that's how I feel every moment of every day
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social) reply parent
I have to let it out. I have to scream and throw things. Because if I don't, I feel like I'm going to explode or die or kill everyone around me And I can see myself being a completely insufferable twat. I can tell myself that I'm being a child and embarrassing myself But the urge is too strong
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social) reply parent
The slightest deviation from my routine, the slightest let down on what I feel like I'm entitled to (like a fucking chicken) and my vision gets real bright around the edges, my skin starts tingling and I hear this whooshing sound And it's like this pressure that builds and starts overwhelming.
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social) reply parent
Which I think is actually worse? I'm having a real hard time regulating my emotions lately. I've had to go back on valium and beta blockers (and I started hardcore smoking again) And it's still not enough. I feel like I'm going crazy.

Coles didn't have rotisserie chickens. I get one every week. It forms part of my food habits for the next 3 days. Ever seen a 39 year old throw a tantrum? A lot of people did tonight. I'm shocked they didn't ask me to leave. That said, they didn't ask if I was okay either

They have parallel imports of some confectionery and stuff like laundry powder and the deals are okay But it's not, like, some sort of revelatory store

My mother was a raging alcoholic and varied wildly from stupidly overprotective to not knowing or caring where I was for days. That freedom I got when she didn't care is why I'm alive today. If she was overprotective 24/7 I wouldn't have made it to 20
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social)
I find it odd that parents are so overprotective these days. Kids, especially boys and young men, are far more likely to kill themselves than be killed by others. And yet, they are sheltered and controlled and 'protected' a lot of the times to the detriment of their mental health.

I'm continuously shocked by the amount of adults that don't know how to cook things. And not young adults, like middle aged people that can't do basic shit, even with a recipe. By 40 you should have the basics covered, surely?

Look, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not the "fashion gay" type. And truth be told, my style hasn't really changed much since I was 14! I am really only now getting comfortable with the fact I can get away with wearing whatever I want

I watched an absolute tear jerker of a movie last night and I need absolutely everyone else to watch it The Art of Racing in the Rain Its a dog movie. The dog reminded me so much of Oscar. I held it together until the last 15-20 minutes and then I was a goner

And if we're getting super ridiculous with the dream, the song lyrics would be by Patrick Leonard. And I'm nowhere near the singer I was 20 years ago, but I reckon with some good backup singers and liberal pitch correction it would turn out great

I'm not pre-ordering a vinyl, I don't collect Taylor, and I find her fans ridiculous But I fucking love Max Martin. My absolute wildest dream would be him giving me a song to sing and producing it for me. Just one
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social)
I have mixed feelings about Taylor Swift, particularly after the last album and her general motivations But I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm excited for the new album - purely because it's 12 Max Martin tracks and it's meant to be very 90s Swedish, like Ace of Base and Robyn's first album

My work deals with a lot of dates - everything has a due date that's imposed at a federal level You'd think that constantly looking at the clock would slow it down, like it does when you're bored or waiting on something But in this case, it speeds it up. The constant juggling and rushing...

Just that they were writing in an environment that took for granted certain things about women, gays, races etc No need to throw it out. Just check the use by date
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social)
Doesn't all literature? Or at least a "make sure you're aware of the context and time it was written because there will be stuff that conflicts with your modern sensibility" Particularly in SF, it shows what was taken for granted at the time it was written. Doesn't make the author's bad people.
notsomadboy (@notsomadboy.bsky.social)
It's really funny how with some people I'm very top and with others I'm the total opposite It seems to have less to do with me, and more to do with them? Or maybe it's all me and I'm too unaware to join the dots why It's just very interesting how it seems to be the one thing not mood based

This is probably my #1 Madonna track. And it's a remix. It almost pains me to say it, because it feels so unworthy next to Like a Prayer and Ray of Light. But this remix is next level. It's my favourite type of dance music. So many good memories music.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cjo...
