nothing in particular has been super eventful, but there is a girl who has been spending a lot of time with us when we eat lunch and so forth as of the week before the last, and who also has the kind of autism where like... she just spends so much time watching stuff on the internet. think like the amazing digital circus. she also has a pet fox and identifies as one (as a therian) herself!! (and yes her fox is cute)
more about that
she is super awesome and adorable but we also have like NO idea how to converse with her "properly". so much of our interactions are just her showing us stuff or vice-versa, and like, what do you comment out loud?? we really do enjoy it, but it also feels super weird when we just can't think of anything to fill the air, or when she does not acknowledge (verbally or otherwise) lots of stuff we do say! a lot of the time she just stares, and like her eyes are super pretty, but it is also kinda a guess as to what is in her mind.this is by no means to knock on her, she is truly great, and we believe her communication style is no lesser than ours. we just are not sure how to engage with such a style is all hehe
oh also on an unrelated note we have decided to build a motorcycle from some stuff we had lying around our garage or the shop, plus whatever stuff we can scavenge for free locally. we've designed and built a go kart before, so, surely this couldn't be that complicated...? :3
