Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
YOU GUYS
I'm sitting in a booth at the small retro diner place in our town waiting for the food. Brother and Mom went to do errands while I wait here for the food.
and WHO WALKS IN BUT MY OTHER BROTHER WITH "PLANS OF HIS OWN"
"... what are you doing here"
"I'm waiting for my food what are YOU doing here?!"
Number one definitely gonna be the backpack my dad gave me. It was his cherished backpack for ages. Back support, hip and sternum straps, pocketsss, you name it. I opened the backpack and a moth fluttered out like in a movie. The best Christmas present by far!
Ramen bowl full of Ramen socks. My 14yo brother really hit the nail on the head this year! I guess I do have that college student aura TM
Jar of peanut butter from Santa. Huge jar.
I saw this sketchbook in the local book store when my 17yo brother and I were Christmas shopping. It had a textured Starry Night cover and ooooo! It's not a lined journal! It's blank paper inside! and he bought it for me 🥹
19yo brother surprised me with a D&D book?? like I don't keep up too much on the discourse of new 5e is bad or whatever folks are saying these days, but I *love* having the physical books because *readability*
oh yeah what I meant by this! watched Interstellar with my brothers last night. two of them are science nerds! so well one has seen it and one hadn't before
so afterward I sat at a table with the one that hadn't priorly seen it and asked scale of 1 to 10 how realistic he felt it was. he got immediately hung up on the mathematics of the time as portrayed on screen, we jabbered about that for a while
... and second brother comes in. "Okay what you NEED to know," he says, and he's apparently talked this over with the fandom several times over, and he just takes off in this conversation and here I am sitting between two brothers who are going off about the science of well everything practically
inwardly I'm kinda making this face :D because I miss these sorts of arguments (and also I get to be a part of it)
and bro
okay yeah I could go into the whole wormholes and black hole/white hole and time shift and that sort of thing, it was a good conversation, but I'll save that for another time
and there was the whole me bringing up The Martian as more realistic and then us picking it apart too (tbh it's very good tho) but again not the point of tonight's tale
the point being
loved ones are so precious
loved ones are so precious when they're engaging in the thing they love
love languages can be arguing over science technicalities in science fiction and cinema
I love these people so much and I love that I get to be theirs.
bringing back the interstellar fandom one cranky science nerd at a time
brother just yanked me along for a car ride all over town to deliver handmade treats to half of his friends and sure I'll pretend with you. I'll crawl into an old skin of mine for you. Anyway the point here is that we get to the last house and he goes "yeah she's kinda angry with me right now, rightfully so. You deliver this one" and well she was my friend too back when I lived here
so I go and deliver the scones (which a, it's adorable that my brother made treats for his friends because he's not really into baking or anything, and b, it's doubly adorable because this friend goes nuts over our homemade scones) and she was so happy to see me!! and we had a happy moment!!
anyway my brother is adorable and it's so awesome and wholesome of him to like. specifically make specific treats for a friend who's not even talking to him at the moment. and concoct an elaborate plan of "drag the older sister along for no reason at all so friend can feel comfortable accepting the scones and maybe sister will cheer up friend while she's at it but don't tell sister about any of this until we are in friend's driveway"
Merry Christmas, at least there are still some people who do neat things like that. How amazing that I get to be his sibling.
Fun neat fact my original blog name was going to be mydadisadorable and it was going to have short meaningful posts about adorable things my dad does out of pocket and sometimes other people's adorable qualities too. Unfortunately the blog name was taken. I will however attempt to still post adorable things about people because people are adorable!!
