I went on a trip to New York with my friend Fluffy to ultimately meet in Buffalo with Lex. I've never been on a long multi-state trip before, and I spent the entire time as a passenger princess :>

This was a weekend of so many firsts. I tried wine, beer, and a margarita. I don't like wine, beer is kinda mid, but I love margaritas. Wellsboro House in Pennsylvania had a delicious fried-mozarella burger that was to die for. I had never stayed in a bed and breakfast, but Fluffy's grandmother owns one and is retired.

I saw the stars for the first time without light pollution. The silent tears that streamed down my face in utter darkness were a paltry price to pay to see a brand new sky. The bed and breakfast was beautiful, rural, and perfect. Fluffy's grandmother is one of the most knowledgeable and kindest people I've ever met. I didn't grow up with grandmothers, so it was really refreshing.

Oh! And while in Pennsylvania we stopped at a place called Komodo Gelato, and I tried an earl grey vanilla flavor. Fluffy gave me shit for getting something weird, but, it was great :3

In addition to scrambled eggs for breakfast, Fluffy's grandmother packed me with a bagel and grapes on our trip to Buffalo. Fluffy and I briefly got lost trying to Find Lex's apartment. And then I met Lex.

Lex, the woman who redeemed me, who had taken care of me, who had given me a future; she was no different in real life than she was online.

It was super weird learning how her apartment looked irl after helping her buy decorations. I can understand why Jimmy (her fiance) is so loud over her microphone, lol.

My godchild WAS SO SCARED. Bellakins didn't warm up to me until the last night, where she voluntarily rubbed up against my hand.

I got a bunch of cool film pictures and gave some to Lex and Fluffy. I have one of Lex and I in front of a golden autumn tree framed on my desk. A picture of all of us shopping at Target is my new phone wallpaper too

We stopped at Wegmans like 4 or 5 damn times in a span of 3 days, shopped at the mall (I couldn't find anything good so I was kinda sad), and some other stores. Overall, I bought 3 new cardigans, 2 delightfully abyssal black pants, 2 perfumes, and a color-matched concealer and lipstick from Ulta.

I look really fucking good in concealer and lipstick. I'm adorable.

I love Lex, Fluffy, Jimmy, and Bella. We want to meet again in Spring for the Cherry Blossom Festival near where I live. Miki would also come which would be p cool

Sometimes I still rot in bed because nothing interests me, but, I can finally say that I'm living.

I had to clean up a rotten pumpkin last night that my roommate left out. It was the messiest, most vile thing ever. It has traumatized me. He made me a marg at 6 pm and offered his unused alcohol as payment for my suffering. Pretty good deal.

Also I went to dave n busters for the first time and that shit was fun. I got a really good picture of Lex in there + two of her and fluffy + a cute picture of an octopus plushie at the restaurant we ate at afterward.

I still want to meet Martin, Zuplex, Merty, and Paige. I need to get a job so I can make it happen lol.

Jimmy is a really cool dude. Very kind. Still a bozo irl. At the haunted house, I had to hold Lex's hand through all 5 of the events as the lineleader. The first one was the worst, it was pitch black, a maze, and I kept running into walls. I tried my absolute best to be reassuring. Going from an Overwatch bodyguard to an irl bodyguard is fulfilling lol

I cried when I hugged Lex and left her apartment. I cried in the car. Fluffy fought off a panic attack for 3 hours and we straight shot it home in under 9 hours.

Interestingly, I've become highly independent as lately. I do what I want and leave when I want. I used to always need attention, but, I'm unusually free as of now. It's pleasant.
