Corona Virus

Hi Grace :)

Over the past few months Covid-19 has infected people with the Corona Virus.  It's just a virus, but people have cleaned out the stores of toilet paper, ramen, hand sanitizers and other cleaning supplies, milk, eggs, rice, canned vegetables, and who knows what else.  There is no drought or shortage of anything so the hoarding is unnecessary.  Seems a little silly but people are panicking.  All entertainment places have been shut down and restaurants are take-out and delivery only now.  The virus seems to largely be affecting the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.  Hope I don't die!

My work started letting (making) us work from home though so that's been nice.  I lose track of the days since I'm at home a lot now.  I was looking at things to do on Meetup as I figured I should try to get out more and meet people, but that's been put on hold for a bit.  The food bank I'm trying to volunteer at never messaged me back either.  They are talking about giving $1-2000 to everyone making under $75k.  I don't need the money but I'll take it if they're giving.  Thinking of getting a better zoom lens.

Despite the virus stuff, I'm starting to feel a bit more upbeat.  There's no real reason, so maybe the changing seasons are smiling on me.  Maybe this is a good time to watch Youtube videos on how to have a better personality that people like.

Favorite Sound & Smell

My second most favorite sound is the steady pat pat pat of rain drops crashing into the earth. The rain can't be too heavy or too light, it has to be just right, and it must maintain consistency. My favorite sound is nothing. Late at night when you go outside and there are no cars, no people, nothing man-made running and all you hear is the sound of nothing. Time stops for me for whatever reason when I hear nothing and I love it.  Right now there's not a sound going on outside my apartment and it's music to my ears. My favorite smell is the aroma of morning. It reminds me of getting up and waiting for the school bus in my elementary school days. There is also just something about the morning smell that smells so good. There is probably a scientific answer as to what it is, but I'm not sure of what it is. It's unfortunate that I am not a morning person.

End it Please

So it's still going with Toronto girl. Today marks exactly 2 months since we matched on Facebook dating. She continues to ignore any message that is even slighty flirtatious. When she does find a topic she wants to talk about then she'll reply with meaninginful messages, but if the topic I bring up isn't that exciting she'll straight up just ignore me. I wish I had more self respect so I could just end this myself, but I don't, so I can't. This is all I have and if it ends I'll go back to having nothing. I hate myself for letting myself be strung along like this. I hate myself for being so undesirable. I hate myself for not being able to connect with people. It seems like she is trying to get me to be bored and just let our conversation slow fade. I am not going to let that happen though! I am tired of this slow fade, ghosting, whatever else shit. Just come out and say you're not feeling it. I don't know why she continues to let this drag ...

It Goes On

 These blog posts never seem to change in tone. I'm on some meds and in a boot for my feet issue.  I don't think it's working as my feet still hurt and I see no real improvement.  I am going to try more stuff, but I wonder if hurt feet is just my reality from now on. Over the last month or so I got 3 matches on Facebook dating.  They all live in Seattle with me in Vancouver.  One was 4.5 hours away, the other was 3, the other a little over 2.  The 3 hour away one fizzled for seemingly no reason after she seemed fine to have a date just that weekend.  The 4.5 hour away one fizzled after figuring out how far away I was.  She never looked at my profile and figured it out??  I was still willing to try too.  Over a month later I'm still talking to the 2 hour one, but it feels like if I don't say interesting things she'll take days to reply.  I feel no real interest coming from her and it's just a matter of time before I get blocked....
