I feel so weird how I have friends that I’ve known over the internet for years but haven’t Skyped with.
Darn phobias.
Some traumatic train adventures tonight.
- Went to the train station, and the trains were being replaced by buses because they were doing work on the line, but I didn’t know which bus stop to go to because there are several. And I was too scared to ask anybody. So I stood in a relatively central spot until a bus pulled up across the road, and I wasn’t sure if it was mine, so I squinted to read the sign until I realised it said ‘train replacement’. So I had to jump off this 1.5m(ish) ledge onto the road (in a puddle) and run across Frogger style through the traffic to get to it. Whew.
- Then when I was getting the train back, they were only sending the front couple of cars. I didn’t know this until I tried to get onto one of the back cars and the doors shut and locked on me, and a conductor had to let me out.
ok, so you live in New Zealand, just out of curiosity, how cold is it there exactly?

Right now where I am it’s about 11°C (and it’s midday so this is about as warm as it’ll get), plus some winds coming straight up from Antarctica.
And this is the part where everybody in America replies with OMG THAT’S NOT EVEN COLD IT’S LIKE -30 HERE IN WINTER
no
stop
This is cold for me, relative to normal NZ temperatures, and my poor little body has not adapted to cope with these conditions.
How does one do the hibernation thing
It is too cold to function rn
Oh hey let’s bring up my weight again that’ll be fun
Not like it’s something I’d be sensitive about or anything har har
