November 2nd, 2024: More work today, when I woke up I noticed that all the cereal was gone so I walked down to the nearest place that had them at 7:12am only to find out it was closed still, keep in mind that place says it opens at 7:00am which was dumb. I eventually go back home and make some oatmeal packets for my breakfast and also some coffee. When I get to work I had to stock the drink cooler and do some more cleaning, with Ignacio asking if I could vacuum his new office and I did it. Eventually it comes time to do my closing tasks and I get practically everything done with time to spare so I leave early and snag an expired piece of cheese from the cheese cooler, I take the bus home and get pretty far in my programming homework progress. Enosh also made some gravy with meatballs and mashed potatoes for dinner while we watched the Last Week Tonight With John Oliver episode about mass deportations.

November 3rd, 2024: I had a pretty busy day today at work, the old head of the store and the owner were not there so I wasn't able to talk to them about taking a poster or even get my lunch for free, which was really sad. The other guy who was supposed to do closings with me did not show up and it was up to me any my manager to do them, I did get them all done before I left and I even got to take home a gallon of expired milk, after work, I had some leftovers for dinner and decided to call Asherah to confirm that she still wants to go to church with me, she doesn't pick up but she texted me asking why I called, I text her back asking about going to Church, she then calls me back saying that she didn't even remember making plans and she doesn't want to go because she'll get a panic attack or something and she isn't even Catholic. She tries to apologize but I just end up hanging up on her because I was mad at her.

I eventually walked to church and attended the mass there. I was congratulated by Joseph, Raphael, and Lucas (another guy who volunteers at the church frequently) for taking count on the All Saints Day mass. I eventually walk home and complete my computer science homework.

November 4th, 2024: Woke up and spent a good amount of time studying JavaScript for a quiz in my computer science class which was at 9:30am I just wanted to improve my grade, but sadly I didn't study the right topic or something because I am pretty sure I didn't do good on it. While my lecture was ongoing, there was this guy? (he looks like he's about to transition genders but almost because he has long hair and those round glasses) who sat two seats to my right, I took off my jacket when I had to move all the way to the back of the room to charge my laptop and he gave it back to me which was actually pretty nice. I tried to make an account on OnionsFarms but ended up getting immediately banned because I made it on the school wifi. My second class was somewhat better because I ended up getting a 9/10 on that test. I eventually went to fill up some water bottles before going to a pizza place to get this deal for lunch. I ended up gaming for a while before I head back home and gamed a bit more before heading out to dinner with Joseph. At dinner I find out that he does not like peas and thinks creamed corn is weird, and most importantly he is going to Texas for a football game and he won't be here next Sunday to organize things at the church. He talked about how the Archbishop is retiring because he is over the age of 75 and will be replaced by an auxiliary bishop on January 20th of next year, and that the younger priests are more interested in performing things in a much more conservative fashion, such as doing mass ad orientem (facing away from the crowd) instead of versus populum (facing the crowd). On the way back Joseph did his typical drive around the church to make sure everything was ok and we found out that some lights were on. We decide to go inside and find these two women, one at the piano and one singing and it turns out that Joseph knew them, the girl at the piano was the old head of the choir at mass and the one singing was just someone that was learning from her, after resolving things we continued the drive to my place and got dropped off. When we got to my house I went back in, had the last beer, and went to sleep.

November 5th, 2024: Today’s the day, the first thing I did in the morning was wake up, have some breakfast, and walk to the polling station. I ended up entering through the wrong door and was told by this guy in a kippah that the line was in a different place. I walked to the back of the long line and ended up being complimented by this young girl on the zippers on my pseudo-leather jacket. After that I went home to charge my phone a bit before heading to the dorms to meet up with Lizzo and Asherah, I wait there for like an hour before Asherah arrives, while we were waiting for Lizzo to arrive, Asherah spots Khadija (her Muslim friend) and they embrace in a sort of semi-hug, which was extremely weird because Asherah always seemed not to fond of hugs and that stuff (although I never tried to hug her or even asked to hug her) and they talked a bit. We ended up seeing Asherah and Lizzo's roommate for Freshman year (the one that once asked if I wanted to make out while she was drunk and I told Asherah about it) we all say hi to each other. Later Lizzo finally arrives. Asherah says that her schedule would mean that by the time we got to the museum, we would have to leave, so we decide to change plans and head to this place to look at maps, we spend like an hour there before Asherah leaves and it is just me and Lizzo so we continue looking at all of the maps and globes. I learned that she is ok with reading Chinese and we spend a good amount of time working on this puzzle together that they had. After an hour I left to get lunch and work on more of my homework. My only class for the day was really boring so I just ended up going over to the Tuesday mass thing. I ended up seeing this really cute girl two rows in front of me during mass who was actually veiling (gasp) with a blue bandana. After mass I decided to try and go find her but I end up seeing that she has a ring on her finger just as she is holding another man's hand. Asherah appeared again with her roommate Zephyr and we ended up sitting together at dinner. She seemed way less friendly to me then the last few times but at least we agreed to see the movie on Saturday. Eventually she and her roommate left so I ended up leaving a while after that. When I went home I finished up some requests for @Astrofene and drank some rum before going to sleep.

November 6th, 2024: Well, it is the day after the election so there are bound to be some fun things. Trump won in all swing states and there was a whole bunch of seethe on the Snapchat stories and Instagram stories of all the people I have followed. I decided to head to the local diner for breakfast and post about it with a cryptic message. Lizzo messaged me telling me that she felt like shit after the whole election with Kamala losing, I reassured her and then found out that she voted yes on this vaguely worded constitutional amendment, (the rule in my state is that if there is a proposal to vote for that mentions the constitution and is very vague, always vote no) and I had to explain to her why she shouldn’t have voted for the amendment. After that I had my first class, where we were going to have a redo for one of the exam questions, which would get me some extra points as long as we did better than before, otherwise we would just keep our old score, I feel like I did pretty good job but I was not sure it would be enough to raise my grade. After that I skipped my second class to work on this project that I had due tonight and I almost got it done save one thing that was erroring out. I discussed it with my partner and he said we should just submit the project.

November 7th, 2024: Not such a busy day today, I ended up doing quite a good amount of gaming. I took a walk before I had to go to Bible study, where we discussed 1 Corinthians 8-9 and we talked about stuff related to the passages, like the offerings of meats to pagan gods and how they call the Father God while they call the Son Lord. Eventually I headed to the only class of the day and it was pretty boring, but sadly we got assigned homework due within a week. After that I took the bus to this Persian place and spent $20 on some food but the soda they had was pretty good with its unique flavor. I eventually make my way downtown for the Eucharistic adoration event, I notice that they had a guitar player at the event and got kind of disgusted, after the event there was the banquet thing where this girl named Ava comes up to me and asks me some questions, and she even touches my arm once while talking to me.
:cobshock:
She informs me of this event that goes on Wednesdays and I said that I would be interested. I eventually get home and take a shower before going to bed.

November 8th, 2024: Woke up early today for work, on the ride to work I ended up reading a bunch of Song of Songs, it was an extremely interesting book to say the least. At work I did a good amount of cleaning before I had some tomato salad for lunch. During my lunch break I finished up reading a Song of Songs (It was only 8 chapters.) I got a text from Asherah listing out all the showings for Conclave and we ended up settling on the 9:00pm one tomorrow. I asked her if she wanted to get dinner beforehand or not and she never replied. I was supposed to have this date after work to meet up with me outside of work but she didn’t, so I called her and it turns out she forgot to mention that she had to babysit her little sister so I just went home and worked on my homework. While I was waiting for the bus to go home, I was with the manager of my department and this guy who I will call Gavin and he was smoking one of those really high tech disposable vapes, I chat with Gavin a bit, finding out that my manager said that I am the best employee that he has!

November 9th, 2024: More work today, and luckily Enosh was out of town so I didn’t have to deal with him at home. Work was pretty busy as I had to deal with this huge delivery that we got yesterday, and we eventually got it all done. The worst part about today is the fact that the original owner of the store is on vacation in Arizona as I found out from his son and he won’t be back until December 14th. After work I took the bus home and decided to wash all of the dishes in the sink (a foreign concept to a certain someone) and cleaned my room a bit before I decided to call Asherah about when we should meet up, she doesn’t answer so I text her and also ask if she wants to get dessert before hand, she says why not and that we should meet up at 8:15 to catch the bus to the theater to see Conclave. I change into something fancier before heading out and we meet at around 8:10, I find out that the whole reason why she was not answering some of my texts is that she straight up isn’t receiving them due to her shitty phone and I looked at her text message history to confirm it, we had to run to our bus and she talked about how she didn’t really like the Catholic Church and I said she was just being cringe and that she’s mad about the 431 AD Council of Chalcedon (She was on a Wikipedia rabbit hole for the Coptic Orthodox Church.) Soon we get to our stop and head over to the frozen yogurt place and I get something for myself yet Asherah didn’t want anything apparently. She says that we should walk up and down the street while she talks to me about her roommates, “Big Emily” and “Little Emily” who were fighting, with Big Emily arranging a roommate meeting at Olive Garden and Asherah talking about her plan to escape from it. After I eventually finish my frozen yogurt we headed inside the theater and I even managed to get free popcorn from Asherah’s friend. Before the movie we talked a bit more about stuff like her family, like her not revealing how many siblings she has to me exactly, and that her RadTrad sister is 29 with a 5 year old girl who I will be calling Salome and that college sucked for RadTrad a lot, with her talking about how she had major depression, had her boyfriend break up with her and even a friend kill himself, pretty dark shit if you ask me, I even managed to show her this anti-gnostic gemerald which she found kind of funny:

The movie starts and it is actually pretty enjoyable, Cardinal Tesodoro is pretty based (even though he hits a vape midway through the movie even though he's way too old to be a zoomer.) but I never said that to Asherah. Near the start of the movie I ended up smelling someone smoking cigarettes and it was really confusing, I looked over to Asherah and I saw her doing the hand gesture for smoking a cigarette and I did the confused shrug. We got done with the movie and ended up waiting in the rain for our bus back, she was even nice enough to give me a sip of her hot chocolate! I eventually got home and tried to go to bed but I ended up getting an extremely stuffy nose out of nowhere.

November 10th, 2024: Another Sunday today, I had work pretty ok. There was another new hire up front but my department was still short-staffed. I found out that the head of my department is Lutheran while stickering bags of frozen dough balls. After work I went home and completed my computer science homework. At Church today the readings were pretty nice, and there is this one couple who are both kind of chubby that I usually see at my mass that have this one young girl, I remember later on during the mass the girl was talking to this old lady talking about this guy who went to jail for attacking her father (I didn't hear the guy's relationship to her father but her father does not have any noticeable scars.) There was a cafe event afterwards with beer and food, I met the two Psalms singers and I found out that the one which I thought was blind works as a receptionist for a bankruptcy company and isn't actually blind, but just has weird eyelids, the other is a software engineer 30 minutes away. After a while I went back home and took a shower then went to bed.

November 11th, 2024: Back to school, I started off the morning by going to my local diner to get their cheap pancake, bacon, and eggs combo. I almost always get there for breakfast. After that I went to my first class of the day, I had the usual Monday quiz and I actually did pretty good on it. Instead of my usual 2/10-4/10 score I ended up getting a 7/10. We learned about Prolog. My second class was pretty boring, after that I went home and just gamed. I contributed to this map of Apostolic churches and it turns out there was one near me that didn't have a good photo of it online, so I decided to take a 25 minute walk in the cold over there in the dark only to find out that there was already plenty of photos of it online and I went there for absolutely nothing, I ended up walking back and decided to do some homework before going to bed.
