In The Gloaming TW *just in case*

mytwistedsoul November 7th, 2019

With the tragic loss of the feed and after much debate and discussion. It's been decided to create a new thread. Soul space so to speak. A journal of sorts.

A place where I can dump some of the nonsense that goes on in my head.

While replies are welcome - they aren't necessary.

Aw yes Happy November. โค Hope the new month treats you super well, Soul. How have you been?

Did you celebrate Halloween? How was it? :D

Oh noes, hope all of this is fixed soon. :/

Would it help to upload the images to imgur or any anonymous platform and then copy the image, and paste it in forums? In case it doesn't let you add images directly from the device. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ That's how I usually upload images for the peer appreciation thread. xD

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I hope the new month treats you really good too ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ• and ๐Ÿช let's start the day right ๐Ÿ˜ โค๏ธ


I've been ok - busy busy. It's that time of the year. Getting things ready for winter. ๐Ÿ• for asking ๐Ÿ™‚ and how has Sun been?

We don't really celebrate Halloween but did take a drive to look at decorations and dropped candy off at the library for the kids ๐Ÿ˜ sugar rushes all around lol!

I might have to do that and just up load to imgur. I mean I understand the reasoning behind alot of the why's but holy cow there has to be a better way to implement security. I kind of miss gifs that aren't on a pre approved list or that I could do a search of them at least ๐Ÿ˜• but I don't mean to complain

Hehe thankyou so much and yasss, cheesier and sweeter new month lol! XD๐Ÿ•๐Ÿช

Glad you've been okay, Soul. That time of the year, I see hehe, hope you get enough time for rest. โค Sun's been okay also hehe, swimming through the days, thankiees.

Aw that's so sweet (literally and metaphorically loll, candies ๐Ÿ˜„), sugar rush be so real. XD

I get that hehe, and it's okay to feel frustrated at the same, it does get annoying after a point (we are beyond many of these points already lol๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ), I miss it too, and hope they can implement better security and fix all that's broken. :')

*hugs hugs* ๐Ÿค— hope atleast the imgur thingy works. :o

The ankle is better ๐Ÿ• for asking. It still gets cranky sometimes when it's used too much and I try to be really careful where I step and how I step ๐Ÿ˜‹ alittle paranoid with it tbh

*big hugs* it's really nice of you to ask Sun โค๏ธ you're allways so thoughtful and considerate

Omigoodness we think the same way, my mind goes straight to wonder about dessert too. xD ๐Ÿช for ๐Ÿ• sounds better haha! ooh and to sometimes switch it up maybe ๐ŸŽ‚ or ๐Ÿฆ for ๐Ÿ• lol!

What's your favorite cake? :o

I remember the ice cream, sending scoops of rocky-road and cookies&cream. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆ

Aw I get the paranoid feeling with the ankle, it's rough to function well with a cranky one, so it's good you're being more careful about stepping and stuff, glad it's been better and continues to get fully better over time hopefully. ๐Ÿค—

Aww that's very kind of you, Soul. I try hehe. *big hugs back* โค

Omg! What is that?! Like chocolate lava cake? The chocolate is all melty! I would have to try that. Maybe twice lol - because gooey chocolate ๐Ÿคค it looks absolutely - yum! You might like chocolate lasagna but the chocolate isn't as gooey but it has Oreos for the crust

Lemon meringue is kind of tart I guess? But its kind of creamy - I'm not sure how to describe it tbh - it kind of a summery dessert. So it's not a heavy dessert๐Ÿจ<--- new one lol ๐Ÿ˜

Sunisshiningandsoareyou November 15th, 2022

@mytwistedsoul

I know right?! The melted, gooey chocolate is all things- *droolssssss* xD It does look like a lava cake to me also, I honestly at this melted-point, do not care about the name or whatever it is, I just wanna dig innnn lol. ๐Ÿ˜ญ *shares with youuu tooo* ๐Ÿฅฐ

Aww chocolate lasagna :o I dunno where to find it but it sounds super tempting and niceeeee for my tastebuds haha! *-*

Ooh yes, a tart, truth be told, I'm not the most experimentative or open to diverse flavors haha, sticking to chocolate feels safer usually. xD Still expanding on it slowly though, one new flavor at a time. ๐Ÿ˜† I like blueberry cheesecake the most, in cheesecakes. :D

It does sound and look (I googled xD) quite summery and also refreshing? hehe. :P Time to hop to a bake-house pretty soon now.

Lol yes new xD ๐Ÿจ also this๐Ÿง? Haha!

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Lol! Agreed ๐Ÿ˜Š it needs no name. Just a spoon or fork or heck a straw at this point ๐Ÿ˜


Tbh - I'm not very experimental with foods too much. I tend to stick with what I know and like and chocolate - well you can't go wrong with chocolate. I think you'd like chocolate lasagna. That was kind of an experiment lol - a recipe seen online. It's easy to make and doesn't need baking but it's really rich and you can only eat so much at a time lol

Hahahaha yasss a straw would work too! ๐Ÿ˜†

Aw that's very understandable, and also same, Soul, sticking to the usual, known stuff seems just safer and better. :O You're right haha, can't go wrong with chocolate (I hope we don't jinx this xD).

Omigosh it looks so yummmm ๐Ÿ˜ it looks like an ice cream I once had hehe, it was an ice cream sandwich sorta? With biscuit textured covers stuffed with ice cream (I think I am horrible at explaining this stuff but I hope you got it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ), was sooo good also (perhaps one of those "lemme try something different" moments for me haha).

You made the chocolate lasagna then? :D I'm impressed. Does Soul enjoy cooking/ baking?

mytwistedsoul OP November 16th, 2022

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Gasp! No jinxing chocolate! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ The Oreos are crushed to make the crust. Then mix cream cheese with cool whip and spread on the crust. Then chocolate pudding and topped with more cool whip and sprinkled with little chocolate chips ๐Ÿ˜‹


I do like to bake ๐Ÿ˜Š I suck at homemade biscuits though - not sure why lol. But cookies and pies I'm good with and zucchini or banana breads

I've been working at learning how to cook a little more. Can't live on hot dogs and ramen forever lol. And you? Do you like to cook or bake?

1 reply
Sunisshiningandsoareyou November 23rd, 2022

@mytwistedsoul

Hehe yes, no jinxing chocolate lol.

Omigoodness, Soul, I'm drooling already, it sounds so so delishhhhh, hope to have it some day haha!

Ooh now with my question you'll be able to guesss if I cook/ bake or not lol, so question is, are homemade biscuits and cookies too different from each other (baking process)?๐Ÿ™ˆ

A zucchini bread?! Is that a thing too? Which rock am I living under haha!๐Ÿ‘€

That's so true lol, ramen and hotdogs, specially ramen is comfy (and easy) food 101 but oof yes, gotta satisfy the nutrient intake also xD sooo proud of you for trying to learn, have you tried these YouTube recipe videos and stuff? Some of these "look" really easy hehe, I keep adding some of these in the "saved" playlists but somehow don't come back to most of them (lol- not proud about it). XD โค

I feel cooking is a super-power-like skill to have, and a super power I don't have xD I can cook enough to survive though, but yeah not much, hope to learn it more also. And yes baking, again, not much, but I can bake (simple/ easy-ish) cakes and I'm grateful for it. ๐Ÿ˜

I make great iced coffee though, if it counts as "food"?๐Ÿ˜› (let's pretend it is haha)


mytwistedsoul OP November 28th, 2022
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I hope you get a chance to try it. I think you would really like it ๐Ÿ™‚


To answer your question - Idk lol. Apparently I've got a mind block when it comes to biscuits. If it's a mix I have no trouble but from scratch something gets messed up ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh my gosh yes zucchini bread is definitely a thing. You might like that too. The zucchini is shredded and it looks gross making the batter but it's delicious after its baked. Especially with coffee in the morning

Tbh there's many recipes on the YouTube watch later list. Sometimes they actually get watched lol but whether it gets made is another story. Sometimes there's ingredients in it that are yuck and all interest is lost. I've actually took a step up from ramen recently and have yakisoba noodles instead but the concept is the same. Add water and microwave ๐Ÿ˜

I'm ok with cooking basic things but following recipes it seems like it's all some alien language and I can't follow it. I may as well be reading hieroglyphics

Cakes have all the basic food needs. Eggs and water or milk and flour. I think those are on the food pyramid somewhere ๐Ÿ˜

Coffee is life. There is no life without or before coffee. I usually heat my coffee back up when it gets cold so I'm not sure if I'd like iced coffee lol

*hugs to you โค* I hope you're doing ok and hada nice weekend

@Optimisticempath โค๏ธ It's kind of a longish story. Condensed version is someone from a chat room contacted me as a listener. They're unhappy because I don't chat with them as much as they'd like. I explained from the beginning that I don't sit on site all day everyday. I don't have hours to sit and live chat. I can't. So they leave passive aggressive messages. They had before and there was a strong reaction on my part and this listener freaked. I'm trying not to block them but it's starting to cause me some issues ๐Ÿ˜ž

Thank you for the hugs โค๏ธ *hugs back* โค๏ธ

@mytwistedsoul. Iโ€™m glad that you set boundaries with them. I been trying to learn to do this myself. Even telling someone โ€œno I canโ€™tโ€ can be stressful for me. I hope that they will stop the passive aggressive messages. Those can be very disturbing.

mytwistedsoul OP November 25th, 2022

@adventurousBranch3786 Hey Branch :) setting them is so hard but I'm finding that holding them is harder. Its like I'm just drawing a line in the sand only to have it erased

Its such a small word - no. But there's so many consequences to it. Its like you know people expect you not to say no. You know they'd like it if you just said yes. And I second and third and forth guess myself

6 replies
adventurousBranch3786 November 25th, 2022

@mytwistedsoul. Omg itโ€™s very hard for me to maintain saying no also! Irl I said no to 2 people and they kept calling me over and over again trying to see if I would back down. It was so hard for me I shook inside each time they challenged me. I didnโ€™t back down on my no but it was very hard. I guess some people have learned to wear people down through repetition. I hope that you will be gentile with yourself. Setting boundaries is a challenging skill to learn when we didnโ€™t learn it earlier in life!

mytwistedsoul OP November 28th, 2022
@adventurousBranch3786 That's what gets me. The fact that they keep at it. It wears you down. Makes you waver in your decision. Which I suppose is the whole intention. That you'll say yes or ok just to so they'll leave you alone. It gets to a point where a part of me wants to snap and snarl. What part of no do you not understand? And sometimes people get angry about that no. It does make you shake inside and it seems to last for days


I have to say well done for not backing down! That's a pretty big thing in my opinion! Was it any easier the second time?

It would have been nice to learn these things at a younger age with some guidance instead of fumbling our way through it all now as adults.


adventurousBranch3786 November 28th, 2022

@mytwistedsoul It wasnโ€™t any easier with the second person. I almost gave into to them but was somehow able to stick to my no. There is now a third person that is doing the same thing. This time I am finding it a little easier.

mytwistedsoul OP November 28th, 2022
@adventurousBranch3786 Oh no! The second one must have been harder I guess? Especially knowing how hard the first one pushed your boundaries. Thoughts of do I want to go through that again and wondering if it would just be easier to say yes and get it over with. I'm sorry to hear its happening again. I'm really glad it's easier to stand your ground this time though. Guess its one of those things we need to keep practicing on. You got this!
adventurousBranch3786 November 28th, 2022
adventurousBranch3786 November 28th, 2022

@mytwistedsoul. It was equally as hard as the first but in the end I was glad that I did it even though it was hard. At least I didnโ€™t get pressured into doing things for these people. Iโ€™m going to keep trying ,hopefully it will come more naturally with practice! Btw Iโ€™m sorry for posting that boundaries post here. I didnโ€™t realize that you had already seen it.

mytwistedsoul OP November 29th, 2022

@adventurousBranch3786 Nothing to be sorry for Branch โค๏ธ I'm glad you did post it. It will be easier to find it now when I need to read it again.

Its really good you didn't give in to pressure or they'd keep doing it. Now they know that you'll stand your ground. I think you did great!

@mytwistedsoul I haven't even realized that it's the last full moon but had a really amazing walk yesterday evening in the hills with some music in the cold just looking up at the lightly clouded sky with the moon casting a real beautiful halo.

There were no howling involved tho. Maybe next time - it can be a goal for 2023 :P

redmark December 9th, 2022
@mytwistedsoul Oooh, that sounds really fun! I will keep that in mind - or at least try to ^-^

Although, howling is not really my thing but what I like to do is I kinda sorty quietly sing along with the songs I am listening to when I am alone - or just "mouthing" along. Sometimes it gets a bit awkward when I notice someone was around all along but at that point it is way too late lol

mytwistedsoul OP December 9th, 2022

@redmark Its kind of like scream therapy I guess? Lol probably just me being weird too

There's nothing wrong with quietly singing along. Here at the house or in the truck I felt those lyrics out. I can't carry a tune to save my soul but it's cathartic :)

I had to laugh - I've had that happen in the shop. Singing like crazy only to turn around and the neighbor was there ๐Ÿ˜‚

redmark December 9th, 2022
@mytwistedsoul That's 110% me. I cannot sing to save my life but I still like to try and it feels so nice to kinda get lost in that flow of the music. And....yes....things might or might not have happened with me as well where someone just kinda was there without me realizing it and then I just kinda avoided all sorta eye contact or anything and just walked away. lol
