-commonly we have developed a local accent(?) i'd even call it it's own language as it has its own rules n stuff called singlish LOL comprised of bits and pieces of most languages in sg but the government wasnt too happy about that and made a 'good english' campaign :/ booooo

i hate zoom classes cause i do installation and bio/lab based art so i physically dont have a space or the resources to do my kind of art at home, and when i try to paint at home my mom hollers and shouts about paint on her tables

it depends completely on the professor tbh. like some of my professors are very professional and have tough classes, one of them doesnt even let us eat over ZOOM because its "impolite" like ???? ???? and then some others are just rabid and are beloved by all for it but like-

only 25% kidding about the skiing off a cliff thing but i WILL come visit at some point because its been way way way too long. also yeah last year i read that paper on how society will collapse due to climate change in like 2050 and i think about it at least once every day :^)

aloe • 8 Nov 2020, 1:45 AM
woah full time. are you going to be working on the weekends too? very jealous that you have an ikea how i fantasize about being within a 1 hr drive of an ikea. denver is cool and great! theres a really neat art museum there and ski lodges are just inherently exciting to be in
magenta • 8 Nov 2020, 1:44 AM
OMGG bruhh mood 😱 so basically we used to be like a full native-tongue country?? smth like that basically we all used to speak mandarin decades ago but the government forced us to learn english as our 1st language and our mothertongue as 2nd so my generation r all real bad at-

i dont even have studios anymore and half my professors gave up in general. like for my origin of life/philosophy class my 70 yr old professor spent half the class(1.5hr) making us look at an egg yolk and the other 1.5 hours weeping over prince the singer. thats just how life be.
magenta • 8 Nov 2020, 1:38 AM

hermit life is where its at. it may feel lonely at times and if it ever does absolutely hmu, i got classes online until next fall and i've always wanted to ski off a very tall slope and disappear mysteriously forever into the cold colorado river

veggie dogs with ketchup is a decadent meal very hot of u. you'll eventually get used to the noise too but ya i feel u, at first really loud persistent noises are kinda torturous. those little rubber ear nips are great for the first few weeks if you cant sleep with the noise.

the world and public places eventually become your SPACE like the good thing imo about living in a closet is not wanting to be in a closet all the time so i'll eventually wander out of the crevices of my apartment and go out and visit galleries and parks and stuff more

like at first i was like minimalism BAD i want posers i want taxidermied moths i want at least a goshdarned CHAIR IN MY ROOM (IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR) but i think there is a joy to be had in cherishing a small amount of posessions that i am super attached to

fed all! 😊 chungus is a rlly apt name for a yeep xD
aloe • 7 Nov 2020, 3:59 PM
it is def hard and kinda painful to get used to at first ngl but u can do this! take care of urself and the ppl (gus counts as a person in this context) who lov u and everything will be okay. and even if it doesnt work out you can always move elsewhere and try again right?
aloe • 7 Nov 2020, 3:55 PM
living alone is kinda suck but also kinda great. i get to make as many morning star nuggets as i want at 3 in the morning and blast disco inferno and nobody can physically stop me u feel. there is excitement in being able to live ferally in peace
aloe • 7 Nov 2020, 3:50 PM
hey its OKAY to be alone in the city at first like i have made 3 friends in all my year and a half in ny and i think one of them doesnt count cause its my professor. stay in contact with all of your friends from michigan and dont even sweat it, like you will meet ppl

if i had THREE Hundred entire square feet in manhattan i think i would develop a superiority complex omg i would have space for maybe even a desk. my bed was ilke maybe if you took one of those childrens beds from ikea and then halved that vertically OWO
aloe • 7 Nov 2020, 2:02 AM
shelves are ur friend. are you living alone there like dude what WHAT WHWHATHATHATHAWTH
aloe • 7 Nov 2020, 2:00 AM
uhmn aside from that if you have lots of STUFF i think over time you'll figure out the whole decluttering thing like i went from pack rat to only having a laptop and two pencils after moving to new york for a few yrs. the container store is a friend
aloe • 7 Nov 2020, 1:59 AM
basically the only stuff youd want to keep on the counter is stuff that is kinda small and that you use really often like maybe a kettle or small rice cooker? and invest in a kitchen cart (? i think thats what they are called) or a side storage rack u can keep in the corner
