Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

Yeah!! I think having a local friend will help a lot. Maybe I can go over occasionally and enjoy some casual time and have space to move. lol

Oh, @RuffledFeathers! I took my birb to the vet (she had a sore throat, but she’ll be okay again soon — not life threatening this time! My bird has no immune system really (thanks to years of issues) so she gets sick a lot but she’s okay) and I got some cute pictures for you!!

And for anyone else who likes birds! :) @bellbird if you’re around!

She’s a cockatiel and her name is Dove!

It was Dover. I got her in 2007, when I was 12! Now she’s twelve. Crazy that she remembers my childhood! She still dislikes my dad, screams when she hears his voice :laugh: (an alarm call!) But anyway! I called her Dover but she laid an egg. And my little brother (who was eleven) and I decided to call her Dove. We thought it sounded pretty :p

I thought about it! I like likes in this diary because it makes me feel supported. But I still don’t need notifications about likes :laugh: Yay for preferences!

Oh my gosh she's adorable. Cockatiels just look like they NEED to be snuggled. Of, you can't because you'd squish them but she's too stinkin' cute.

And it doesn't matter if people here like my comments anyway, does it? ;P

Just trust that we do, m'dear. :) Though I can understand likes on your journal being important. They say, "We're here! We're listening!'

I got a friend date with a local man scheduled!!!

I so hope this goes well. I'm excited for you!

Also, Dove is a lovely little darling.

Good news!! My professor was really excited that I resubmitted and she gave me an A and some criticism on how to improve! Yay!!

Now, if only I could resubmit for jobs :D But honestly I just need to do more of those applications.

Oh my gosh she's adorable. Cockatiels just look like they NEED to be snuggled. Of, you can't because you'd squish them but she's too stinkin' cute.

Right?? I looove them so much. Dove makes me sad because (and it makes a lot of sense because she's a rescue with a history but I hear other cockatiels are like this occasionally too) she is very not-touchy-feely. She has to be in the exact right mood and she must be the one to ask for pets. If I try to pet her at any other time, she'll shoo me away and bite me! Silly birb.

Also, Dove is a lovely little darling.

Thank you! I think so too!

They say, "We're here! We're listening!'

Yeah, that's it :D Since half the things I say aren't reply-able to anyway :P

Congrats on the A! Good job!

I feel like Dove is Tweeter's long lost love.
Too bad they have a massive ocean separating them ?
A bit of an age gap, but he has reached sexual maturity so it's totally legal!! :laugh:
They have a general dislike of scritches, and both have hoomans with PTSD. Commonalities: one of the building blocks of a relationship!! They could share pellet food too :inlove:

 

[littleoc]

Lol, yaaaas

@bellbird One of Dove’s biggest things is that she wants to be a mom SO BADLY and it makes me so sad! She ended up with overlaying syndrome because she really, really, really wanted one of her eggs to be fertilized but she didn’t know how :( I really want to get her a fertilized egg sometime. Poor babe.

So I’m thinking I’m going to just move Shabbat back where it’s supposed to be because my family is being a bit of a dick. I don’t really want to talk about it though. So I don’t know why I’m bringing it up.

My friend date went really well! Only problem was that he got to do my goals that I can’t accomplish anymore because of my mom. I’m angry. It’s unfair. I’m trying to justify it but...

Scottie is able to stay at home. Has no bills. Has thousands saved up. That was my plan because my student loans are high. But my mom won’t f*cking agree to clean the house. And I hate living here. And I can’t believe I have to deal with this. Can’t believe my mom won’t understand.

Trying to remember that I can’t know Scottie’s life. I know he’s in the closet trans so his mom and dad still call him a her, and he’s afraid to come out because he lives with them. Makes sense.

But then I saw his $1000 bed that he was able to afford, a nice-ass desk (not covered up to uselessness the f*cking moment it was built), the ability to have four happy dogs and cats that weren’t unhealthy due to living in a hoard, the ability to cook any time he wants without having to uncover stuff.

His mom is more freeze-y and mentally ill than my mom. But he has a house. He has his own room. It’s just really hard.
