And if someone says “hey, can you come fix my computer,” and when you show up she just lays in bed and looks at you longingly from there, that means you really got to fix the computer and then leave so she can get some sleep.

I do the things that must get done: going to work, paying the bills, and I realize that if I don’t, what life I’ve made for myself will stop.

For the chores and stuff, sometimes I’ll make a chore pact with my wife (“let’s both clean stuff for the next half hour”) as a way of keeping mutual responsibility. Sometimes I’ll just get fed up and ride a chore wave for a couple hours.

For skills, I try to narrowly just grow the stuff I’m good at as best as I can; naturally, only the skills that interest me for the long term are the ones that grow.

Ah, my username is my legal name and there are pictures of me in my account. My username everywhere is my legal name, cause I think I lack imagination.

So I guess I’m fucked exactly this much, which doesn’t seem like a lot.

I generally get left alone. Everyone worries about their own personal problems enough to have time to bother someone random on the internet.

Edit: if I post my address, someone’s gonna ring my doorbell and scare my birds, so you’re not getting it. I’m in the Portland metro area though.
