Decided to go ahead and start crocheting a corsage for hoco only to realize as I was finishing the last row that I used the light blue instead of the dark blue. This is so amazing. 
          	
          	It only takes like a day to make, but it feels like the deadline is getting closer and closer whenever I have to prepare stuff. Unfortunately it getting further and further whenever I look at the calendar doesn’t create more time to prepare.
          	
          	Please just let the four days until when I think my person will ask me pass quickly!

@AnikaSN1098 My mom will be at hoco as a chaperone, so I’m definitely going. She also keeps trying to get me to make my person a mum. No thank you. A corsage is already tricky enough.

@HereComesDaSun22 | I'm sure it looks great regardless, I do feel you on the pre-hoco jitters though. I still have to ask my parents if I can go, and despite having a few weeks, I don't want to procrastinate on asking them for too long. Plus I feel like if I don't confirm whether I'm going or not soon, my date will assume I'm not going. Then again, I did say that I would ask 'soon' without giving a specific date, so they probably won't.

Ah, it’s that time of year again. Big mums that need neck support to be worn, dads screaming at the TV whenever the ref makes a terrible call, and stupid political ads. 
          
          “He thinks not affirming kids gender is abusive” “He supports trans surgery *insert twelve year old boy turning into a fifty year old woman with tons of botox*” “She supports the socialist Mamdani” “For they/them, not you.”

I’m trying not to talk about my person so much, but it’s so hard to stop when they do stuff like ask me if it was okay that someone would ask me to homecoming late next week or if that would be weird. Apparently they’re planning something for then. I’m trying not to jump to conclusions, but the play they’re in also preforms late next week. Will they ask me then? I’m so nervous and excited! I can’t wait to see how they’ll ask!
          
          Bonus funny conversation to make up for all the crush obsessiveness
          Me: Mr. Trainer, please don’t make me go outside in that rain! I don’t feel like being struck by lightning 
          
          Him: When do you feel like being struck by lightning?
          
          Me: February 30th
          
          Girl nearby: *confused look on her face*
          
          Him: February only has 29 days on leap years
          
          Girl: *slow nod of understanding*

I love it when I send the fingers crossed emoji as in “I won’t listen to you and deliberately say the price of tickets is lower than it actually is because I’m trying to be nice and pay for your ticket” and she interprets it as “let’s hope I don’t forget to tell you how much it costs so you can pay me back!”
          
          We’re going to see a play at my school together because I’m too scared to go by myself but my person (soon to be my partner) is in it and the photos of the masks they’re making are really cool. Also the sound guy I was talking to said it opens with a girl getting executed but it’s apparently a comedy???

            Thank you! It is, we've introduced him to the fact that poly relationships exist, but the matter of his partner actually being in one is still up in the air. It is really fun, between the three of us I'm probably the one with the most expertise (which is furthered by the fact that his partner themself actually didn't know that you could have a poly relationship where person A is dating both B and C but person B is only dating A and C is only dating A, I think it's called a V relationship but I could be wrong), so I'd probably be doing most of the educating. It's always fun informing people about the wonders of the many queer spectrums out there (including arospec, his partner and I are both arospec with them being completely aro, so it'd be kind of odd if we didn't educate him about it, he's a fast learner though so it wasn't hard).

@HereComesDaSun22 | Yayyyy! Funny enough my friend also said they'd hypothetically be cool with being in a qpr when I asked, but we never really talked about it since, and the main problem is that despite both of us being polyspec and them being okay with being with someone else despite already having a boyfriend, we're not entirely sure if he'd be okay with it. Not that he isn't supportive, he's a good friend of mine and very sweet, it's just that he's not very educated. We'd probably have to pitch it to him first, but I'll probably ask my friend during homecoming if they would even want to be in a qpr not hypothetically in the first place.
            
            Huh, that's interesting, ngl my head can't really wrap around that either.

Today I just realized the person I’m seeing now has the long form of my brother’s name since they changed their name AND they have the exact same height as him. I really hope they don’t discover they’re a trans man in their gender journey, dye their hair black, cut it in a young boy’s style, and make it straight again. At least they’re white and not Mexican like my brother and I. 
          
          I mentioned how strange it feels that when they put my brother’s name on the bowling screen (I put the first few letters of my name because it’s really long and I guess they decided to do the same in case of a character limit they didn’t know about) because I kept thinking I was going against my brother instead of them. Their eyes went so wide and they asked like three times if his full name was their chosen one (it’s not, my parents were very weird with nicknames, I’ll explain more in the replies). They ended up apologizing to me and I felt bad because it’s not their fault but at the same time it was really funny. 
          
          Anyways, I’m really glad they’re white instead of Hispanic or any other race people mistake me for. For some reason Indians keep assuming I’m one of them

@DaRedGod It’s like a nickname right now, kinda like how some people I know prefer to go by their middle name for one reason or another (first name is too hard to pronounce, it’s extremely common, or they just like their middle name better). Just because Alexander wants to go by Alex doesn’t mean they have to get it legally changed on all documents

I know I tend to make fun of my immune system because of how much it overreacts to any nonfood allergen ever, but it’s actually kind of amazing. 
          
          Last night, I had a fever and drinking water was a form of torture. Now, only a few hours later, my temperature is normal, I can drink water, and I can talk without feeling like I’m tearing my throat apart! My nose is still stuffy, and I’m still worried that I’m one cough away from vomiting, but who else do you know that can recover so fast? 
          
          My body is so amazing. Thank you, body! 

HereComesDaSun22

@AnikaSN1098 I think my mom would kill me if I didn’t recover so fast. I was honestly shocked she let me skip school today to recover despite the fact I had two tests today that already got pushed back because school got canceled because of a storm a few days ago. Good news though, I should be well enough to work the football game tomorrow! Usually I’d be upset I have to do it, but it’s against a school I still have friends at, so I’ve been looking forward to it

@HereComesDaSun22 | Wow, it takes me several days to get to that point of recovery, your body’s awesome

It’s been five hours and my person still hasn’t replied to me! Normally I wouldn’t be bothered because they’re usually really busy and slow to respond, but they asked if I was free Sunday and then I took too long to respond, so they haven’t sent anything after that one text. I took three minutes to respond, I really thought I was fast enough this time. 
          
          I just want to see them again. It’s been forever since we got to have a conversation in person more than two minutes long. Plus, homecoming is less than a month away and I’m really hoping Sunday is when they ask me to go with them so I can start over preparing for hoco. 
          
          Please universe, I beg of you to give my person a spare moment so we can set up a time and place to meet this weekend!

Apparently my neighbor’s quinceañera is on Sunday so I decided I’d get a jumper and suit jacket and wear it there to decide if I like it better than the dress. I found a jacket that I really like so I showed it to my mom, and she said I need to look for a blazer instead of getting a men’s jacket. I’ve tried asking for a men’s jacket or suit before because they just look so cool and I’d love to try wearing one, but every time my mom questions why men’s, I get too embarrassed to push the issue and end up getting a dress. I wish I could be more confident and assertive when it comes to trying fancy clothes. Unfortunately, she’ll probably be proven right when I finally stand my ground and the clothes end up not fitting well. Maybe when I have my own money.

@HereComesDaSun22 | That's nice, I'm glad you found one! I tend to be one of the oddities who rarely look okay in items grabbed off the rack, mostly because my mom ends up doing most of the shopping and tends to just look for things that fit my size rather than things that look good. As soon as I turn 18 and I'm not broke, I'm getting a shit ton of cooler clothes
            
            It's not standardized at all yeah, which is why it's even less likely that I'll be able to execute the jumper suit-jacket plan when it comes to asking my mom. Dresses would probably be even more annoying though, so there's that I guess

@AnikaSN1098 I got a blazer. I was going to be like “oh no, all the blazers have half sleeves or they’re bunched up really weirdly, guess I’ll have to go with the suit jacket” but then I found one that actually looks good and caved because I got scared that the men’s jacket wouldn’t drape correctly due to my chest. It was probably a mistake to look up online if the average woman could wear a jacket off the rack and still have it look okay
            
            My mom’s solution for the jumper size was to look at the sizes for the dresses I’ve bought in the past year. Apparently one is an extra large while the other is a medium. They both fit me perfectly btw. I’m really starting to see what people mean when they say women’s sizing isn’t standardized in the least.

AnikaSN1098

@HereComesDaSun22 | You should be allowed to wear whatever you want, maybe just tell her that you like the way they look and that you want to wear one? Or you could also get a blazer if you’re okay with it and are willing to make that compromise.
            
            I have no idea, sizes are weird. This is why I never end up shopping for things.

With every day that inches closer and closer to homecoming, I get more and more anxious. I don’t know why either. It’s still a month away, but I keep worrying about if my person taking me is already a done deal and we don’t have to ask each other or if they’re officially going to ask. They tried to switch the topic when their mom brought up buying an outfit for it and then asked me what I was going to wear for “absolutely no reason” so I think they’ll ask me, but I don’t know when. At the start of the month? Three weeks? Two weeks before? I hope not two, that feels like too little time to plan. It probably isn’t, but it feels like too little. When are people even supposed to start asking? 
          
          How are they going to ask? A text? Holding up a poster? Will it be public or private? Where are they even supposed to ask me? I’m almost never not at school and the play they’re in is supposed to be out around the time hoco is so they’ll be super busy in a week or two. 
          
          What do I wear? I have a dress that I’ve worn for the symphony so it’s very formal, but is it too formal? Most of the hoco dresses I’ve seen are short but mine is floor length. Do I need to get a different dress? Should I get one? 
          
          And where, how, and when am I supposed to get tickets? This is all so overwhelming 

AnikaSN1098

@HereComesDaSun22 | I’m glad you like the dress! And also that your mom’s okay with the alternative. Hopefully shopping goes well! Assuming my mom lets me go, her main issue is usually that despite her wanting me to wear a dress, my legs are hairier than she’d like, and she doesn’t want my legs showing. Stockings or long socks are too much effort to get, and I doubt she’d let me wear a suit, so I might pitch the jumper suit jacket combo to her as well. I don’t mind wearing a dress, but in case she doesn’t let me without getting my legs shaved, her brain automatically thinks of dresses when it comes to literally anything that’s not school clothes or pajamas, so I’m not sure how open minded she’ll be. We’ll see how it goes I guess.

@AnikaSN1098 I tried on the dress last night and it looked great, but I felt like my shoulders looked really wide. I’m not sure if I’m imagining it or not, but the dress looks great otherwise. I’m not sure if I want to wear it or not. My mom is also pushing me to look for another dress instead of a jumper and jacket. She says she’s fine with it, but she wants me to look up dresses first so I’m sure. It’d be nice if I could buy the clothes to try on and then choose since I’m probably going to end up getting them off Amazon, but I don’t want to waste money in the event I like the dress better. 
            
            Yay, I’m so glad your friend asked you! I hope y’all have a lot of fun!

@HereComesDaSun22 | Hah, well that's funny, as soon as I said that I might have the motivation to ask my friend to go with me, they literally just asked me if I want to go to hoco with them assuming that their partner isn't going (my friend is aro and polyspec and I'm also arospec and polyspec so if they went with me it wouldn't be awkward for their partner whatsoever)
