November 13th, 2025: Woke up at 8:00am when I had a online therapy meeting at 9:15pm, breakfast was eggs, toast, a banana, and a mini-donut. I got on my computer and got a shitoko link from Epic saying that they found me and wanted me on as a software developer, for what is the equivalent to one of the FAANG companies of Wisconsin, I doubted the link they sent me. I right clicked it and archived it using archive.today. From that website there were archives back to 2023. My therapist sent me an invite link with the following quote attached:
<“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.
<― Kurt Vonnegut
I got on and it took a while to get in so I just made it a checkup meeting, I needed to get to class soon. I did that and got in, I completed my only German assignment for today which was just to write this:
>I use technology a lot in my life but I don't travel as much as I would like to. Everyday I use my laptop and oftentimes I'll use my desktop also, I use my iPhone constantly, more than I'd like to admit. I take the bus to and from work every day and rely on lightbulbs and electricity to light up my apartment. Some advances that have been achieved in my lifetime are the creation of the iPhone in 2007, the creation of the iPad, improved storage of HDDs and SSDs, the widespread implementation of generative AI starting in November 2022. I feel like the iPhone had hindered my attention span and limited my ability to focus sadly. Generative AIs like ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and giftini have additionally hindered my focus more but I have been abstaining from them more. For traveling, I take the bus almost every day and sometimes I'll take it for the fun of it, like riding a bus line to its end and back. I do not have access to any sort of heavy rail and I do not ride the overglorified streetcar downtown because it's the same speed as driving at best and slower than walking at worst. I am very pro-public transit because of this.
I tried charging my laptop during this and no matter what angle, nothing helped. I asked Lizzo:
>Aye, + what’s your middle name, I’m curious.
She responded at 10:27am with:
<Rose
And started this conversation:
>Doxxed! 
>Although that’s a super common middle name.
<I've actually met so many people whose middle name is [first name]
>I’ve met nobody with the middle name of [my middle name].
<Yeah me neither
>
>Uhh, me?
<Im joking lol
I got a response from her on Snapchat at 12:47am in regards to One Piece:
<Oh
<(๑•﹏•)
I replied back to her:
>What have you watched bruh?
I got out of class and walked to my second class to wait outside, I got this text from Talia:
<Just letting you know, I’m missing class again today. Hope you have a good weekend!
I replied:
>For work again?
She replied:
<No, just catching up on a paper. My Ancient Greek religion class doesn’t grade much for attendance, and my second class of the day has been canceled all week.
I waited a bit more and then I saw the Black haired girl sitting outside and sat across from her, I joked with her about her absence from class being her going to hell and crawling out, she was waiting outside because she didn’t want to be the first person in alone so I went in with her, failed to get my computer charging again, I went out and waited for Lizzo and Laundrea to come out. I continued texting Lizzo:
>Focus on class!
<F u
>Please say that in Korean!
I was laughing at that comment. Laundrea came out first and she said Lizzo was examining the board to study it more. She asked for more info about the fair and I told her I could message her, she had lots of social media so I added her on Instagram. Lizzo then came out and she got the Korean joke, she said she didn’t know how to but she told me:
“I know how to shout it in Chinese.”
“Simplified or Traditional?”
I asked jokingly.
“There’s no difference between speaking them.”
She said, I replied:
“Actually that’s what Xi Jingping and his CCP nutcracks want you to believe.”
They were weirded out by it and I went into class. The girl with A10s in my class commented on me wearing a belt and she was wearing one but it’s one of those buckles you’d find on a backpack. German class was kind of normal and I was partnered up with the purple haired girl’s group. I left at 12:45pm and accidentally ran into Punk’s friend but I ignored her.
I texted Lizzo an apology which turned into this conversation:
>I’m sorry about if my CCP joke came off weird.
<I was just thrown off
<Idk if u meant for overgeneralization to be part of the joke but I'm not chinese
>I know you’re Taiwanese and I didn’t mean to make it seem like you’re Chinese.
<It's alright
<I wasn't hurt by it
>Ok.
I took the bus to work and was told by Seth M’s friend that the ink still wasn’t here. I spent most of the day helping the website guy set up banners to show to people like Joy, Seth M, the Polish lady, Harmony C. We had one issue of this aluminum pole being distorted for one end to be like an oval so we couldn’t assemble it. The website guy took it outside to heat it up and hammer it out. I went into the branch that Joy works in and I encountered Elon wearing replica samurai armor, it made lots of noise and had a fake mustache of white hairs. I took a picture on my phone and then some on Elon’s phone. Joy said 1 person could wear it each of the 3 days. The consul general of Japan would be here so I told Joy:
“I think Mr. Mizobuchi should be allowed to wear the armor one of those days.”
Joy and Elon said he’d probably get offended because it’s a replica instead of actual samurai armor. I want to tell him about it but in a safer way. I ended up seeing Elon later and he used one of the photos on his phone and had some video generative AI make him pull out and whip around a flaming katana. Wow. I left at 4:04pm and took the bus home to drop off my backpack then walk to campus to set up for the dance. I met up with Ava in the drop off and the first thing she had me do was bring up a cart of items to the ballroom. I did that and by the time I got out, Morgado, Nephri, and Swifte were there to help. Seraphim went to grab hay bales and I helped haul up more stuff. Luigi and Nash came later to set up. We got to the balloons and when I inflated them, the smell of fresh paint just hit me. Everybody agreed but kept blowing up and trying balloons together for the display. Lewis came in without his girlfriend so I pondered if they broke up. More people came in like Markus’ brother. Agaw, Angela’s friend, Alley, Markus’ girlfriend, Jade, Bernarda, the Honduran, Kalifornia, the Quad, Drawmij and Drawmija. I got this really nice rose rosary that wasn’t made of plastic and started wearing it. I got someone to take pictures of me borrowing someone else’s hat:
I couldn’t get into one of the circles the first round, but the second round I got with Jade, the 31 year old married woman. One new dance moves the same caller from last time, an old short guy who wasn’t bald at all told us to do was the swing, where you swung the girl around with your hand on their back and swung them around. Also the one where you would step 3 steps out from your partner, 3 steps towards your opposite couple’s partner, 3 steps inward, 3 steps out, and then reverse. Second dance I got partnered up with a coworker of Rose’s, she introduced herself to me and was super nice. Third dance was a line dance where I tried to dance with Bernarda but got arranged around to this unknown Hispanic girl. I know this guy and Urbino were partnered up for it where most couples at this point were two women. I then got pizza and lemonade. Casta came in and I asked her:
“Where’s John?”
She replied:
“Oh he’s at home!”
I joked:
“So you locked him up in your basement?”
She laughed and then I went to dance again. I tried to get Agaw and Markus’ brother partnered up multiple times and that failed each time. I danced with Angela’s friend and then next with a girl who's a friend of Markus and she’s from Sheboygan, she asked me about partnering up and told her:
“The unspoken rule is that you always go with another partner every time you dance.”
But not the other unspoken rule that if you had a boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, or wife, you always danced with her, Like Drawmij and Drawmija. She seemed interested in me but when I added her on Instagram, I saw she posted her 1 year anniversary dating her boyfriend on November 7th. We did a giant dance in a circle and then the Church clap. I went to show one of the other people there how all the clapping made my hands red during the Church clap and I happened upon Ava.
“Dude look at how red my hands are…”
I told her, she put her hands on mine and I told her I was just showing people how red my hands were. I got in for the photo and then left with one bag of unopened lemonade. I walked home and saw this announcement from my operating systems teacher about a max length fix. I did that fix and posted the completed C file later in the night. I then took a shower before going to bed.
