😴
genuinely don't know if this is odd or not, but this has been something i've done for the longest time. i have a hard time falling asleep and sometimes white noise just makes the brain static a lot worse. but! i also don't want to turn on my ipad and watch a movie because it's the end of the day and my eyeballs hurt.
my solution is to turn on a familiar movie, one i love or that brings me comfort and play that as an mp3 and just listen to it. my go to is usually you've got mail as i watched it a lot with my parents and even fell asleep to it, so it weirdly brings me a sense of ease.
it also reminds of falling asleep on the couch while watching hbo late at night and my parents coming down to get me to go up to sleep in my own bed, or when me and my sister had a tv in our shared room, and my parents would creep in to turn it off because we both fell asleep watching late night disney shows.

there is something extremely comforting knowing someone is wide awake doing something (like playing video games, doing chores) while you are on the verge of clocking out and falling into a deep slumber

it helps me to spend my cozy bed-time not thinking too hard about the world. instead i can play…
…a memory game like naming every winner of drag race in chronological order (unless I fall asleep first)
…an alphabet game where i think of a sea creature for each letter (unless i fall asleep first)
…an acrostic poem game where I use the letters in a movie title to describe the plot of the movie (this one actually kept me awake from being fun and challenging oops)

The other day I fell asleep on the last 10min of pulp fiction… it happens to me a lot that I enjoy a movie but always fall asleep at the end!!! it hurts specially when it’s such a popular and “important” movie, feels like I can’t appreciate it to the degree everyone else does?? ? but I do enjoy sleeping a lot tho

going to see challengers on my own today! and i'm very excited. i'm someone who actually doesn't mind going to the cinema alone. i've done it so many times over the years, and totally do not get people who say it's sad. if i lived somewhere where i could go to late night screenings on my own, i would do it all the time.
sometimes i end up making a friend, sometimes i just get to sit and get sucked in and then i get to leave and choose my favorite place to eat. it's a nice way to spend a day on your own, and i think more people (especially people in their 20s) should take themselves on little dates.

if i had a comfort sitcom, this would be it :,) sadly it only has two short seasons, so i've seen every episode at least 10 times. (if you're going to watch it, make sure to look up the right episode order because it aired out of order.)
when i'm at a loss for what i want to watch, i put it on. somehow despite having seen it a bajillion times, the gags still land. there's also something so inherently 2000s about it with its slightly outdated jokes and energy that i find charming. it's the same way i feel about 2 broke girls. it's just fun hjinks with people who are kind of messed up!!!

to me figs smell like summer. i love fig scents, especially if they smell a bit more green than fruity. my favorite perfume smells a bit like the green-ness(?) but also fresh, clean dirt after the rain.
if not fig, i am very much a sandalwood person or blackcurrant one. i like smelling nice but not necessarily floral. :)
