4/28/25 | my mouse is kinda broken lol

I went over to see my family last weekend and I came back to wash my bags and clothes. I guess my dumb self didn't empty one of the bags completely and my laptop's mouse ended up in the washing machine. somehow by some miracle it works completely fine except for the scroll wheel. it's such a minor issue that I don't think I need to replace it anytime soon

technology hasn't been very kind to me this month, huh

4/21/25 | THE POPE IS DEAD OH LORD

In case you're living under a rock, yes. The pope is dead. RIGHT AFTER EASTER TOO.

I found out in the most mundane way possible. So I went to sleep at around 3 am last night. I was having some weird ass dream. I woke up randomly at around 6 am, and I was genuinely bitter that I wasn't asleep anymore. Once you're awake, it's over. I'm never having that dream again. The dream wasn't anything special either. But I wanted to know what other weird garbage my subconscious was gonna cook up in that moment. (I refuse to give details lol. All of my dreams are nonsense.)

I lay in bed thinking to myself "I'm awake now. Might as well check my notifications." I open up Facebook and the first thing I see is "Pope Francis has died at 88." It took me a few seconds to process wtf I just read, and it felt like my morning started crashing. (I'm not Catholic or even a fan of the Pope. I was just shocked that I woke up to such a major current event.) I was literally running on 2-3 hours of sleep in that moment so my body was aching too. I went right back to bed afterward, but I will say that that was a crazy way to start a morning.

I'm kinda glad I found out in a sorta normal way and not in some stupid way. I've seen people on Twitter find out through memes. 😭 I broke the news to my roommates this morning. Lmao

The Pope is dead. Now what? I'm worried that the Catholic church is gonna appoint an even worse Pope. I mean the last thing he said before passing was that he wanted a ceasefire for Gaza and Ukraine. And his stances on LGBTQ+ issues weren't perfect, but at least he saw us as people who deserve respect. I fear that the new pope is gonna undo all the progress Pope Francis made.

Also they're saying that JD Vance is the antichrist. 😂 Imagine meeting the pope and your aura is so bad that it literally kills him. Not only that but he says you're practicing Catholicism wrong. 😭😭

ALSO JSCHLATT SAID APRIL WILL BE A SPECIAL MONTH FOR THE POPE. AND TRISHA PAYTAS ANNOUNCED ANOTHER BABY. AND THERE WAS ANOTHER TUMBLR SEXYMAN POLL?? WTF??? TIME IS A FLAT FUCKING CIRCLE

Anyway I'm ending the rant here. I hope you enjoyed me screaming about the pope dying and me finding out in the most boring way possible (not boring to me though).

4/9/25 | The Phone Saga Has Ended

Good news! I got my replacement phone yesterday! Now I can use all my socials and access my school email/assignments again! YIPPEE!! 🎉🎉

This past week and a half has been absolute hell, and I'm glad my life is finally back to normal.

4/7/25 | More Phone Stuff

Idk how many more phone updates I'm gonna write. This shit is killing me.

My new phone was supposed to get delivered yesterday, but I guess it's coming tomorrow. I still can't sign into my Instagram or school email accounts. I can use them on my phone just fine. Problem is that MY PHONE DOESN'T WORK. (Turns out I could use TikTok this whole time. I was just too scared to sign in on my computer since that app bans people willy nilly.) I'm worried that I'll keep having more problems and potentially never be able to use those accounts again. (Hopefully if my number transfers to the new phone it won't be a problem, but I'm still paranoid.)

I'm just so desperate man. I want my phone to work again. I wanna be able to use all my socials again. I wanna check my assignments and emails. I want the technicians to check and fix my phone again. I don't mind getting a repalacement phone. I just wanna be able to login to everything first.

4/5/25 | The Phone Issues Continue

Today is the day of my phone repair. I waited a whole week for this moment. A whole 7 days just for a 20 minute fix. And then it finally happened. THEY FIXED MY PHONE!

...but only for a minute. I stressed about my phone for a week. I was so happy when I finally got to check my notifications again. Right as I went to set up my Touch ID, it happened again. The screen stopped responding. I force restarted the phone and got it working again. But then it became unresponsive again! And now it's staying unresponsive. Unfortunately the technician couldn't identify the problem so I'm getting a new phone.

This was literally the happiest I felt all week. (Maybe in a long time.) And that happiness just got ripped from me so fast. I didn't even have enough time to check my settings and backups before it broke again. And now I can't use Instagram and TikTok again.

But hey! At least I'm getting a replacement! (Still bummed about it though.)

This week was so ass.

4/2/25 | These Phone Problems Are Killing Me

A few days ago I made a blog post about my broken phone. (For those who didn't see it, my touchscreen stopped working occasionally unless I restarted my phone, and now it suddenly doesn't work at all.) I can still see notifications pop up on my screen. I just can't press anything. 😫

I could've got my phone fixed today but the weather here is supposed to get bad (with possible tornadoes) and my family had other important things to deal with. So instead I have to wait until an appointment on Saturday.

When I tell you this shit is agonizing I mean it. I haven't bought groceries or went anywhere in days because I don't feel safe without a phone and I can't check bus routes. I mainly rely on my computer to check my socials now. I can use most of my socials except for Instagram and TikTok. I wanna check my notifications so bad. AND I WANNA POST MY ART DAMMIT. I can't even login to check my college assignments because I don't receive iMessages or verification codes anymore. I'm also really paranoid that they won't be able to fix my phone at all. Needless to say this is really ruining my mental health.

I'm just gonna end this blog by saying this has been such a long week.

also what if my phone/the world is just playing some sick april fools prank on me
