HI! I realized that it's been a while since I done did an intro and I've recently collected a buncha new friens. So, away we go
Gävlebocken
Hello, I'm Sterling, I'm here in California where I've been for the entirety of my life, and I'm about to be 41 in just over a week which means I'm old enough to be some of y'alls mom (okay maybe not, I might finally have surrounded myself with adults but I DOUBT IT)
ANYway, I am currently unemployed and trying desperately to rectify that situation
Gävlebocken
but having worked in a call center for nigh on a decade and still having both health issues and PTSD from that I know I can't put myself in that kind of situation again, but unfortunately like 98% of the available jobs are call center jobs, so this is not as easy as I would hope.

I'm your friendly neighborhood bisexual (which is 'my own and other genders' don't come at me with the 'bi is an inherently transphobic label' bs because that's not true and I will unfriend you if not block you.)
Gävlebocken
THREE THINGS I WILL ACTUALLY BLOCK PEOPLE FOR! (Look generally I just unfriend because that's good enough)
1: Being a dick on purpose
2: Untagged spoilers
3: Just being unpleasant in general to more people than just me
Gävlebocken
I'm not entirely comfortable calling myself 'nonbinary' but I do use she/they as preferred pronouns, but like, I'm not gonna get up in arms about it either UNLESS you're doing it because of point 1 above.
Gävlebocken
THAT SAID: IF I MISGENDER YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I have not done it on purpose I just have a brain like a water-go/noodle-stay and have forgotten.
Gävlebocken
Same goes for if you need any content tags, even retroactively, I don't judge and I'm happy to tag things as often as I remember (and I do make an effort to remember)
Gävlebocken
I live with my cousin, another housemate and a kitty, all of whom I will talk about to varying degrees (my cousin is the landlord, he's in what I can only assume is a mail-order-bride situation but I don't actually know that so I do try not to call it that, the housemate is a good kid but I do complain about how much noise he makes, the cat is new)
Gävlebocken
That said, I'm now opening this to comments and questions, if it doesn't show as commentable, refresh your page!

whaaaaaaaaat is your favorite fruit
Gävlebocken
🍁waffle🍁 : Strawberries, but sadly I can no longer eat them. so favorite fruit I can still eat: cosmic crisp apples (honeycrisp is good too)
🍁waffle🍁
mmmm
Gävlebocken
OH AND ANOTHER THING!
Because apparently this still needs to be said in this the year of our lordt 2023: I'm a multishipper, yes, but that DOES NOT MEAN I will always play the ship!
Gävlebocken
people write characters differently, just because my Bucky Barnes clicks with somebody's Steve Rogers doesn't mean they're going to click with every Steve Rogers, y'dig?
Gävlebocken
and also: even tho I multiship, and will play various ships with various people, I MUCH PREFER plotty threads that I can sink my teefs and my claws into and make my brain go brrrrrrt

oh yeah if I ever use the emoji in the top plurk it means I'm in a smut-writing mood (generally speaking)

I was about to say that you're a month younger than I am, but then I realized that 2023 means I'll be 42 in June.
Gävlebocken
BruberryMuffin : I'm sorry.
Gävlebocken
(I'm mostly joking, I know some people don't like being reminded of their age)
BruberryMuffin
lol
BruberryMuffin
I only feel it when I stand up, so it's okay.
Gävlebocken
oh god hard same
Gävlebocken
there was a thing ...somewhere I saw earlier that was 'when you hit 33 these things happen' and it's like 'where's my phone?' and 'doesn't anyone say please and thank you anymore?'
Gävlebocken
and I just went: "Um, I've been complaining about all of those except the phone one since I was 25"

Look, we actually HAVE a walker in the house. Though not because of anyone's age.
BruberryMuffin
Also, I could have used that thing as far back as my twenties. Hell, my teens. I never was able to stand in one spot for long. Disney without a disability pass would have killed me.
Gävlebocken
oh man I inherited mum's bad knees and they've just gotten worse as I've aged
BruberryMuffin
Actually for me, it's my feet.
BruberryMuffin
I can walk for as long as you want, no problem. Get me standing in one spot more than about ten minutes and I am in pain.
Gävlebocken
oh man, yeah that's no good neither
TheApostate ™
Oooof
BruberryMuffin
So really long lines that take forever to move forward? Bane of my existence.
Gävlebocken
giving this a jiggle for today just in case
