October 10th, 2025: The date is today. I woke up and brewed coffee for myself but didn’t make cereal because I’ll be getting breakfast with Talia. I started walking over at 8:40pm with my leather jacket which lacked a hoodie to shield from the rain. I was lucky enough to be underneath a row of trees hanging above the sidewalk. I ran in once the tree cover ended and got in by 8:55pm. I waited for a bit and then she told me she was by the elevators and walked over there. We walked into the place and she started the conversation about her book club she started with one other person and the conversation went to diaries, I asked her if she had heard of Samuel Pepys’ diary from 1660 to 1669 and she exclaimed:
“Yes! People don’t really write those anymore, it’s like a lost art!”
I then asked her if she had heard of the Diary of Merer dating all the way back to c. 2563 BC or even Abu Ali ibn al-Banna’s diary with the surviving portion running from August 3rd 1068 AD to September 4th 1069. I think she might have a diary of herself and I most likely am in it by now, I got pancakes with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and 2 sausages, while she got a waffle chicken sandwich with sriracha honey in it. She made the initiative to pay for it because I gave her apples, 3 apples for roughly $9.00 is an amazing deal, I can’t believe I out-scroogeed an actual scrooge. She talked about her siblings and going home to see real woman: Ares, the 3rd movie in the real woman franchise. She told me:
“You need to watch the original real woman to understand real woman: Legacy, y’know.”
I replied:
“Of course you need to, it’s a sequel.”
Her uncle had step-grandchildren from what she told me. I got milk for myself to drink and we talked more until we finished at 9:36am. I threw out a bit of my food due to being full and I severely regret it. I didn’t hug her goodbye but I walked over to my only class for today for all the presentations. This guy I didn’t recognize followed me around for a bit until I realized he was the 6th person in our group. I sat with the others as all the gingerbread teacher went through all the presentations randomly. James’ group got before me and I ended up being the second to last presentation after half the class left. I then walked home and took off my backpack and pulled out my iPhone charger before getting on the bus at 12:05pm. I rode the bus to work and got in by 12:25pm. I didn’t do much for the first part of the day because Ahwahn and Seth M went out for lunch. But I went to the breakroom with the ice machine to have the last egg roll. Joy was heating up some rice with shrimp in the microwave and I told her to use a ceramic plate instead of a plastic container, I sat and talked with her a bit. Helly R and fAhwahn were volunteering today and I had to talk to their boss fAhwahn about something so I walked around the main office, I asked Staples while she was on her lunchbreak and she didn’t know. But when I swooped back to the kitchen, I saw her on Disgrinch lair but she’s not transgender. This new guy was volunteering and he dressed like a Rastafarian with dreads and I was introduced to him. One of the employees brought in this Hmong salad which was supposed to be super shitoko but I didn’t really have any issue with it. I told them I tried ghost pepper sauce, but not when. It was in 2019 when I first tried it at Heaven On 7th, a now closed down restaurant in Chicago, I sat near the back and had it on my fried green tomatoes. I had to drink so much milk and water afterwards. Seth M, Ahwahn, and the girl were all shocked. I helped Seth M with the OneTalk voicemail resets but it kept giving me the issue of it logging me out. Why? Verizon, AKA Verizion workers can’t work for shit, they abuse you by speed throttling your wifi wavelengths.
At 3:51pm, Seth M sent me a list of all the hikes he’s been on and his times for them:

Cave of the mounds
I passed by the Ukrainian man and Elon. I ended up resetting Kiana’s, Tia’s, the older Ukrainian woman’s, and a few others’ phones. I left at 4:18pm and got on the bus at 4:26pm. I took it up when around where my old work got on and off, there was this verbal fight with a middle aged man wearing a tweed cap with his instrument case in the seat next to him getting into a fight with an older man because the younger man was hoarding seats. At this time the Married girl’s younger sister got on the bus, wearing a rosary around her clear belt, she dressed like a character drawn by @heytherenrds a Spanish Catholic artist I follow on Xitter. I waved to her and she waved back. She stood around for a while until she got off then I did at the grocery store. At 4:59pm I bought a $10.99 12 pack of Diet Coke lime, a $6.29 4 pack of French green beans, $2.89 Italian creme creamer, $3.19 butternut pecan ice cream, and $2.79 milk plus taxes for a total of $26.85. Waiting for the bus at 5:04pm I saw Macie post about being a Swiftie on her private Snapchat story and I replied:
>Hello Swiftie, I’m someone with good music tastes.
She left me on open. I took the bus home and cooked a can of the green beans plus potato mix for dinner. A bit later I saw Dollar Store Asuka post a Lion meme:
I remembered I had Dollar Store Asuka’s phone number so I started this conversation at 7:38pm:
>The Lion remembers I have your phone number saved.
<rawr
>The lion does not misspell his friend’s name
I watched more YouTube on the television before going back to the computer to game. I went to shower when I got this message from Macie at 8:36pm:
<Just so you know, if you keep shitting on my music and life choices, Im taking you off the private story
Holy obsessed, I took my shower and got back out to work on Duolingo before going to bed.
