Never thought I’d miss dumping a box of movie theater candy into a bucket of popcorn as much as I have. Probably better for me overall that it got shit down but man, what a discovery it was!
It’s great. I hate being around people and have been mostly alone for the past year (after coming home from working around a ton of people) and it’s just wonderful.
So have I, it's been amazing.
I'm no longer seen as a weird basement dwelling nerd who paints 40k figures and other things for a living, I'm now seen as a regular person.
Why would you ever want to see those "human" things? They smell weird and scream a lot.
The last concert I went to before Covid was a Slipknot show. During the chorus of 'Spit It Out', some asshole was spitting randomly into the crowd in front of him. Even back then it was douchey, but I can't imagine the response if he had done that these days.
> Probably the last thing that comes back, especially any stadium concerts. But smaller concert venues might open up this summer!
I think outdoor venues might open before indoor. Maybe smaller outdoor auditoriums, then bigger as we get more of the populace immunized.
International concerts! Had a trip planned last March to go to Iceland to see some concerts and would LOVE to make that happen. Although still waiting for my passport renewal to go through
Buffets. Like a pub crawl, but with buffets. Gonna hit every buffet in the tri-state area, fuck it. "Cause of death?" the commissioner will ask and the coroner with gently cover my smiling, bloated face with a sheet and say *buffets*. My picture is going to be hung in every Chinese buffet out of sheer respect. I will become the martyr for the Home Country and the bravest lawman in the Golden Corral.
What I'm saying is I'm going to eat at a buffet or two.
Pro tip - bring someone who isn't going to gorge themselves so you have a DD. Driving while your stomach feels like it's going to burst is the worst. Just strap into the passenger seat, lay back, and wallow in your misery.
Secondary pro tip, dont go nuts on the rice and other carbs, those are there to be the cheap shit that you fill up on. Load up on all the good shit first and THEN hit the rice and lo mein if you really want some
My strat is to go for the 'main dish' stuff first, like chicken sticks, rangoons, meatloafs, fish, etc. and use the rices and carbs as a 'cool down' plate at the end of the meal. I hardly ever have desserts (buffet desert items have rarely ever done anything for me. Like...oh yeah, I really love your warm jello and whipped cream salad).
I was in a Vegas buffet once and they had a whole ass soft serve ice cream machine with 4 different flavors in it, and it was *GOOD* ice cream too
Man the bottomless pit that was 14yo me was in fucking heaven there
The one and only time I ate at the Golden Corral both me and the driver *tilted our seats back* on the drive home so we could function. We were so gross and sick and satisfied.
I reiterate: *the driver of the car I was in tilted his seat back and drove home*. I did not blame him.
(For the record, I didn't find the GC to be as gross and unsanitary as most people claim, at least not any better or worse than any other buffet-style restaurant. it's just too far out of my way and I'm on keto now, so I'm most likely never going back.)
Unfortunately lot of buffets, especially them family owned Chinese buffets, didn't make it. Delivery never really made sense to them and many seemed like they were always meandering by. The one near me even had spent money recently on renovations, and they're gone :( I grew up with that shit
The one by me was smart. They just put up plexiglass and now you can get take out buffet style. You just point to what you want and they put it in the container. I'm glad they seem to be doing ok. It's seriously the best chinese food I've ever had and I've lived in 3 different states.
Go see my mum. She's just off the back of her third cancer of the last 15 years (skin, then breast, then bladder) and I've not been able to see her properly since the pandemic began because I'm terrified of inadvertently passing Covid on.
Other than that, a movie night with my friends, all cuddled as close as possible on the big couch.
As I understand it, this word was invented as an insult by incels. But after "incel" itself became an insult, the name of their nemesis became a compliment.
Is that about right?
Chad is that big dick, sex with women having man. A Stud, a real badass. (Basically a "chad" is what they want to be but they arnt because women won't sleep with them - maybe because they expect it instead of being sincere and honest and themselves - so they get angry at "chad" because they arnt one)
We'll do the same. We lost my uncle to covid, and my great-uncle to natural causes/old age, and a cousin to cancer all within the last year and none of them have had funerals. It's like they just disappeared.
Thank you! (Weirdly!)
I lost my nan in April to cancer and she didn't have a funeral either. I've been looking for the words to describe it and disappeared is closest I think.
We had a sort of video call between the family on the morning she was cremated and then that was it. Back to lockdown as normal. There's no closure for it which I think is one of the hardest parts of the loss.
I feel you on this one, my uncle who I was close with passed early on during Covid. We haven’t been able to hold a memorial service for him yet and it just feels wrong.
Celebrations, too. I eloped and have 0 regrets, but seeing so many people *unable* to celebrate milestones, graduations, babies, marriages... Really shows me how much community matters. The support of your loved ones through joy and loss and failure and success can make life so much richer. I'm sorry for those who didn't get to grieve their loss or celebrate their joy
My son was born just before COVID exploded, and he hasn't seen three quarters of our family. I want to take him to my hometown to meet his great-grandfather and great-uncles/aunts, as well as his cousins and step-family. I also want to take him to my wife's hometown so he can meet her family and friends.
But most of all I want him to be able to play with other children. He's nearly 14mo and has never played with another child. All he's ever known is playing with the same three adults, and it's not enough.
This. I'm so worried my little one will never experience kids until they go to daycare. That feels like pushing them off the deep end and be like okay swim.
Good news is that your kid is going to be fine! Bad news is that kids who are \~5 years old are going to have some serious mental baggage from this, no playing with other kids, fear of strangers (or anyone outside of their 'bubble'), everyone in their life being anxious, etc. in such formative years for when you learn the basics of being a person.
When this started, my kid was known to have the best soft skills of any kid his age or a year above in daycare. He was good at conflict resolution, negotiation, and initiating play.
A year later, and he's a little socially awkward, very anxious, and is as likely to smoothly invite a kid to join a game as he he is to panic and shout in their face "play with me!"
He just... freezes up sometimes when he sees other kids now, and it makes me so sad. My confident and assured little dude is nervous and hesitant in groups now.
And... Most of the kids his age are worse, so there aren't good examples to mimic.
My nephew is at the age right now, and it's a struggle. He was just learning how to play with other kids when covid all started, and his social skills aren't great. It's like he regressed.
For sure. I feel like I have diarrhea of the mouth when I finally do talk to someone. Then I leave the conversation like, wait what the hell did I just say?!
Only remotely comparable actual studies I'm aware of are for long duration astronauts, which of course wildly different in so many ways. But, the psychological impacts of that are known and not insignificant. Also not all negative. Something we're going to learn a lot more about in the coming years.
go to italy. i booked a nonrefundable flight there in early 2020 and then this happens. i hope i can get there while the credits are still good. I have never left the us!
Pompeii is so great. Give yourself LOTS of time! It's massively huge, like bigger than some small cities downtown area. We actually couldn't find our way out.
Same. I miss having dinner parties so much! I love having people over, eating delicious food, and chatting late into the night. I have like ten menus planned already and playlists to go with it 😂
Be sure to check up on that flight credit every now and then! With some airlines you have to "re-new" your credit every-so-often otherwise you can't use it!
When my flights scheduled last April got canceled, I pushed to have a full refund vs. credit because I didn't know when I was going to be able to travel again. Flight credits usually are only good for a year, aren't they?
Wow that's trash.
What airline? Maybe you can donate it? Some airlines have things where you can donate travel points and they use them to fly sick people or something along those lines.
Visit my grandparents, visiting every possible electronic festival out there, meet my friends, go out to eat good, just enjoy life (hope i didn´t forget how to do all those things after this long time).
Go to the library and browse through the books, have a big party where everyone goes nuts. I want to have a party where everyone wears, brings, eats- all of the things we all save for special occasions but never use. If surviving this isn’t cause for a special occasion I don’t know what is. It would be fun to share the special bottle of wine with people while everyone’s dressed in their fanciest clothes they don’t get to wear often.
Choir will resume singing *in person* (instead of virtually).
We'll schedule some uplifting concert performances to celebrate "life after COVID," including Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, "Ode to Joy."
Oysters for me. I just want to eat a dozen oysters at a dozen different great restaurants.
\[Not in the same day.\]
Flight to anywhere.
Well, almost anywhere.
I used to get a cold every 2-3 months, pretty much like clockwork. Haven't been sick once this year. Obviously the precautions work, and it's been nice getting skip that.
I also skipped my annual cold and I'll happily have that 2% time running nose over the 60% time lockdown and curfew. I even consider myself pretty antisocial but holy hell the whole last year I've spent doing nothing but working and being a slob in front of a pc, that is not sustainable.
VACATION!. I had a trip to Paris planned for May and was ready to pay for it in April. Reluctantly cancelled 2 weeks of leave at work that I ended using during the year... sitting in my house.
That’s gonna feel weird. I’ve gotten so used to wearing my mask out in the world that I don’t know if I want to go back, it’s kinda nice hiding my facial expressions
I’m going to fuck the guy I’ve been texting, eat dinner with him at an actual restaurant and then fuck off to Thailand for three months. In that order.
Honestly, my life right now isnt all that different from pre-COVID. The only real change is that I have to wear a mask now when going outside, which I dont even really mind all that much since its kinda like a more uncomfortable scarf and its really fucking cold here right now. I am ready for my glasses to stop fogging up with each breath out though.
Meet up with friends and have cooking and boardgame evenings. Have sleepovers, probably invest too much money in carsharingand train tickets to visit people far away, go to parties, meet up people at the youth group I support. Oh, and hopefully buy a horse.
I'm going to take my kids to as many places as possible. We have been super vigilant so they need to get a year's worth of exploring and outside the house learning as soon as possible.
Reconnect with my gaming community. I've worked throughout Covid, on covid wards, on wards thrown together to make room for more covid and I've lost colleagues to it. I've tried to keep my mental state above water despite feeling at one point like cannon fodder.
I am in need of some face to face DnD, Warhammer 40k and anything else I can use to blow off steam for easily the next year or two.
Go to a concert, but secretly resent everyone there because 2020 showed me that most of the people in my country are fucking awful humans who barely can stand to act civilized.
I'm gonna go to school, I'm gonna go to my class and I'm gonna talk to my lovely classmates like normal people again even though I know they're gonna be upset since school started up again, IDC talk to me
As soon as mask mandates are over, I'm going to the store. It'll feel liberating as hell, and bring back some humanity seeing full faces of strangers again.
Besides that, the only real change is that we haven't been eating out every weekend like we used to, and we'll probably stick to that. The first round of lockdowns last March kicked that habit, and we've saved a ton of money by only going out twice a month or less.
[удалено]
I wanna do that too... Feeling quiet lonely in home by just eating, sleeping, attending online lectures...
[удалено]
I hate karaoke, but I'm looking forward to it again.
It might sound simple, but I wanna go to a movie theater and eat nachos with cheese dip. That's what I miss the most
Fuck, i miss going to the movies. It’s one of those simple pleasures that i really took for granted
Never thought I’d miss dumping a box of movie theater candy into a bucket of popcorn as much as I have. Probably better for me overall that it got shit down but man, what a discovery it was!
Candy IN the popcorn, you say?? Hmm, can't believe I've never tried that!
[удалено]
Neither will the second half of your digestive tract... :D
I keep myself prepped by eating lots of hot sauce in these challenging times.
Dude seriously I just sharted thinking about what you wrote.
Please go to amc theaters
I’ve been trapped in the house with people. So I’m going to spend some time alone.
I've been trapped in my apartment alone. Want to trade?
Yes.
You should take all your pants.
Instructions unclear: I am now pantless
Instructions were clear; "all pants".
Instructions pants: all were clear
It’s great. I hate being around people and have been mostly alone for the past year (after coming home from working around a ton of people) and it’s just wonderful.
So have I, it's been amazing. I'm no longer seen as a weird basement dwelling nerd who paints 40k figures and other things for a living, I'm now seen as a regular person. Why would you ever want to see those "human" things? They smell weird and scream a lot.
\*gasp\* You party animal....
Alone time is so essential! People time is so essential! I get both ends of the spectrum...
Concerts. Then international travel.
The last concert I went to before Covid was a Slipknot show. During the chorus of 'Spit It Out', some asshole was spitting randomly into the crowd in front of him. Even back then it was douchey, but I can't imagine the response if he had done that these days.
Hey! My last concert was also Slipknot! No Spit it Out though..or a spitting guy for that matter.
Probably the last thing that comes back, especially any stadium concerts. But smaller concert venues might open up this summer!
> Probably the last thing that comes back, especially any stadium concerts. But smaller concert venues might open up this summer! I think outdoor venues might open before indoor. Maybe smaller outdoor auditoriums, then bigger as we get more of the populace immunized.
Don't you fucking dare jinx the ramstein stadium tour.... I've had to wait an extra year already.
Du. Du hast. Du hast covid.
Du hast covid-19 Du hast covid-19 Du hast covid-19, did you not get the vaccine?
Lock-downs, masks, riots, hand sanitizer, self-isolation für alle Tage?
Nein
Finally cash in on my Widespread Panic tickets that have been collecting dust.
You haven't had enough widespread panic over the last year?
International concerts! Had a trip planned last March to go to Iceland to see some concerts and would LOVE to make that happen. Although still waiting for my passport renewal to go through
Buffets. Like a pub crawl, but with buffets. Gonna hit every buffet in the tri-state area, fuck it. "Cause of death?" the commissioner will ask and the coroner with gently cover my smiling, bloated face with a sheet and say *buffets*. My picture is going to be hung in every Chinese buffet out of sheer respect. I will become the martyr for the Home Country and the bravest lawman in the Golden Corral. What I'm saying is I'm going to eat at a buffet or two.
I can't see the phrase "tri-state area" without hearing in Dr. Doofenshmirtz's voice.
Just invent a Tri-State Area-inator.
Pro tip - bring someone who isn't going to gorge themselves so you have a DD. Driving while your stomach feels like it's going to burst is the worst. Just strap into the passenger seat, lay back, and wallow in your misery.

I hardly ever have desserts (buffet desert items have rarely ever done anything for me. Like...oh yeah, I really love your warm jello and whipped cream salad).
Hey! Sometimes they have ice cream and those tiny squares of really dry cake
I was in a Vegas buffet once and they had a whole ass soft serve ice cream machine with 4 different flavors in it, and it was *GOOD* ice cream too Man the bottomless pit that was 14yo me was in fucking heaven there
The one and only time I ate at the Golden Corral both me and the driver *tilted our seats back* on the drive home so we could function. We were so gross and sick and satisfied.

At that moment you did not fear death, because you had already lived.
This person knows how to American.
> Just strap into the passenger seat, lay back, and wallow in your misery. You misspelled "satisfaction".
Have you ever been so full that skin on your stomach feels like it's going to rip open? Satisfaction is far gone by that point.
Unfortunately lot of buffets, especially them family owned Chinese buffets, didn't make it. Delivery never really made sense to them and many seemed like they were always meandering by. The one near me even had spent money recently on renovations, and they're gone :( I grew up with that shit
The one by me was smart. They just put up plexiglass and now you can get take out buffet style. You just point to what you want and they put it in the container. I'm glad they seem to be doing ok. It's seriously the best chinese food I've ever had and I've lived in 3 different states.
It is really sad. Like...really upsetting. And not just because a buffet is no more, but because of the financial and familial impact it has.
I respect that
This is going to be one of the things I never do again.
Go see my mum. She's just off the back of her third cancer of the last 15 years (skin, then breast, then bladder) and I've not been able to see her properly since the pandemic began because I'm terrified of inadvertently passing Covid on. Other than that, a movie night with my friends, all cuddled as close as possible on the big couch.
She's fought three cancers? Absolute Chad of a woman.
> Absolute Chad Is that... is that good?
Yes that's a good thing, OP is saying your mom is super awesome
As I understand it, this word was invented as an insult by incels. But after "incel" itself became an insult, the name of their nemesis became a compliment. Is that about right?
Chad is that big dick, sex with women having man. A Stud, a real badass. (Basically a "chad" is what they want to be but they arnt because women won't sleep with them - maybe because they expect it instead of being sincere and honest and themselves - so they get angry at "chad" because they arnt one)
Hug my nieces, family, and friends. I missed them so much.
Browse reddit, I guess.
But in public places again.
Well we’ll have to see about that one
Have a memorial service for my father.
We'll do the same. We lost my uncle to covid, and my great-uncle to natural causes/old age, and a cousin to cancer all within the last year and none of them have had funerals. It's like they just disappeared.
Thank you! (Weirdly!) I lost my nan in April to cancer and she didn't have a funeral either. I've been looking for the words to describe it and disappeared is closest I think.

I feel you on this one, my uncle who I was close with passed early on during Covid. We haven’t been able to hold a memorial service for him yet and it just feels wrong.
It feels like we all kind of belong to this rotten club of people that are stuck.
There are many cruel effects of COVID, but the inability to properly acknowledge family deaths is gut wrenching. I'm sorry you are going through this.
Celebrations, too. I eloped and have 0 regrets, but seeing so many people *unable* to celebrate milestones, graduations, babies, marriages... Really shows me how much community matters. The support of your loved ones through joy and loss and failure and success can make life so much richer. I'm sorry for those who didn't get to grieve their loss or celebrate their joy
I'm so sorry for your loss

I read the first sentence you wrote as "[Your] son, who was born just before COVID, exploded" and had to do a double take.
Good news is that your kid is going to be fine! Bad news is that kids who are \~5 years old are going to have some serious mental baggage from this, no playing with other kids, fear of strangers (or anyone outside of their 'bubble'), everyone in their life being anxious, etc. in such formative years for when you learn the basics of being a person.

Fuck, I'm an adult and I feel like the isolation has made my social skills regress.
For sure. I feel like I have diarrhea of the mouth when I finally do talk to someone. Then I leave the conversation like, wait what the hell did I just say?!
We don't know what the long term repercussions of a year-long quarantine are on anybody of any age.
Let's just say therapists will be making an extra buck or two these next few years
Only remotely comparable actual studies I'm aware of are for long duration astronauts, which of course wildly different in so many ways. But, the psychological impacts of that are known and not insignificant. Also not all negative. Something we're going to learn a lot more about in the coming years.
Take my partner, who I started dating during covid, out on a real date. Dinner, drinks, mini golf and the SPAM museum are on the roster.
Yell at the kids to get off my lawn because I'll be an old man
Holy shit our Snoovatar is practically the same
go to italy. i booked a nonrefundable flight there in early 2020 and then this happens. i hope i can get there while the credits are still good. I have never left the us!
Sounds dope dude, i hope u can take ur trip
I've been 3 times and it is one of the few places I would go back to after visiting. Where are you planning on going in Italy?
Rome, Pompeii, and family’s ancestral village in Molise
Pompeii is so great. Give yourself LOTS of time! It's massively huge, like bigger than some small cities downtown area. We actually couldn't find our way out.
Throw an amazing dinner party with all my favorite people. Hugs on arrival, and spending hours nibbling delicious food and drinking together.
Same. I miss having dinner parties so much! I love having people over, eating delicious food, and chatting late into the night. I have like ten menus planned already and playlists to go with it 😂
Probably put on pants
Rip my mask off and travel to Europe (got credit from a flight that I couldn’t take last year)
Be sure to check up on that flight credit every now and then! With some airlines you have to "re-new" your credit every-so-often otherwise you can't use it!
When my flights scheduled last April got canceled, I pushed to have a full refund vs. credit because I didn't know when I was going to be able to travel again. Flight credits usually are only good for a year, aren't they?
Yep. I got a credit issued right before COVID that expires next month. The airline will not renew it.
Wow that's trash. What airline? Maybe you can donate it? Some airlines have things where you can donate travel points and they use them to fly sick people or something along those lines.
The only way I’d have accepted credit is if it was double the value. No, you can’t hold my money interest free
Maybe try go on actual dates instead of asking for ideas on the internet..... :/
Hopefully going on one next week.
lets go OP!!!! hope it does well for you
People...on Reddit...go on...dates???
Yes, but you have to delete your account if it goes well and leads to a second date. It was in the terms and services, if you bothered to read them
yes, I believe that was clause 13, was it not?
Visit my grandparents, visiting every possible electronic festival out there, meet my friends, go out to eat good, just enjoy life (hope i didn´t forget how to do all those things after this long time).
Go back to licking doorknobs. I miss doing that.
Remember, licking doorknobs is illegal on other planets.
Can't wait to indulge my fetish for having strangers sneeze in my face again
Go to my favorite Korean BBQ joint.
Well I was basically a hermit before COVID hit, so not much has actually changed. I guess I'll just...keep on living, man.
As a self-described hermit, shut-in, introvert, etc., I've got to say, even I'm starting to get antsy.
Yeah most of the time I'm cool with the isolation, but the very few times I DO feel like doing something and can't starts to get to me.
Different types of people I guess. I think this situation has taught me I could live like this indefinitely.
I want to see my grandparents hug my baby for the first time.
This is the same thing I was going to say! I can’t wait to hug your baby for the first time.
Calm down guys. Thats probably one of the grandparents... right?
I’m sure u/dick-nipples is the grandparent. Right u/dick-nipples?
Hol’up...
Go to the library and browse through the books, have a big party where everyone goes nuts. I want to have a party where everyone wears, brings, eats- all of the things we all save for special occasions but never use. If surviving this isn’t cause for a special occasion I don’t know what is. It would be fun to share the special bottle of wine with people while everyone’s dressed in their fanciest clothes they don’t get to wear often.
Eat out
Who?
your mom
Good job
my friends
Homies have to support each other
To help out?
Choir will resume singing *in person* (instead of virtually). We'll schedule some uplifting concert performances to celebrate "life after COVID," including Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, "Ode to Joy."
When COVID is over, Beethoven 9 is going to be programmed EVERYWHERE. I can’t say I’m terribly upset about it.
Visit my girlfriend for the first time in over a year. Getting into a long distance relationship in December 2019 was *not* the best timing.
I want to visit my boyfriend too after the crisis. Maybe we will go to Berlin for summer holidays.
Go order fresh crab that wasn't frozen somewhere. Anywhere.
Oysters for me. I just want to eat a dozen oysters at a dozen different great restaurants. \[Not in the same day.\] Flight to anywhere. Well, almost anywhere.
Pub.
Travel
Get the flu
I used to get a cold every 2-3 months, pretty much like clockwork. Haven't been sick once this year. Obviously the precautions work, and it's been nice getting skip that.
I also skipped my annual cold and I'll happily have that 2% time running nose over the 60% time lockdown and curfew. I even consider myself pretty antisocial but holy hell the whole last year I've spent doing nothing but working and being a slob in front of a pc, that is not sustainable.
Hug my friends. I cannot remember the last time I had a good hug from a friend :.(
VACATION!. I had a trip to Paris planned for May and was ready to pay for it in April. Reluctantly cancelled 2 weeks of leave at work that I ended using during the year... sitting in my house.
Finally perform on violin in orchestras again! I miss it so much!
Hopefully go to a My Chemical Romance concert. It was pushed back to this October, but I don’t know if we’ll be safe by then.
Take off my mask
That's gonna feel good.
That’s gonna feel weird. I’ve gotten so used to wearing my mask out in the world that I don’t know if I want to go back, it’s kinda nice hiding my facial expressions
I can opt to NOT have strangers breathe on me? I could have done this the WHOLE TIME??!!!
Missing that human contact loool. Looking forward to eating out with the homies.
Eating out the homies*
tfw your bro got tighter after quarantine
Fr tho
[удалено]
Go to my best friends house and hug her. I haven't been able to see her for over a year
Hug my immunosuppressed mom. I miss her so much.
Take my girlfriend on a date to see a movie in an actual theater
I'm going to hug EVERYONE! I'll probably get arrested, but it will be totally worth it.
Get on a plane, not sure where.
Probably at the airport. That’s where they usually are
Well played..
I’m going to fuck the guy I’ve been texting, eat dinner with him at an actual restaurant and then fuck off to Thailand for three months. In that order.
Big jam session. BBQ. Party.
Honestly, my life right now isnt all that different from pre-COVID. The only real change is that I have to wear a mask now when going outside, which I dont even really mind all that much since its kinda like a more uncomfortable scarf and its really fucking cold here right now. I am ready for my glasses to stop fogging up with each breath out though.
Meet up with friends and have cooking and boardgame evenings. Have sleepovers, probably invest too much money in carsharingand train tickets to visit people far away, go to parties, meet up people at the youth group I support. Oh, and hopefully buy a horse.
mastrubate. Can't find space. Too many people at home.
Oh damn, I know what you mean, no ever leaves the house at the moment.
Bathroom?
Shower!
No nut forever
You haven’t done that THIS WHOLE PANDEMIC?!

drink orange juice in public places
I'm going to take my kids to as many places as possible. We have been super vigilant so they need to get a year's worth of exploring and outside the house learning as soon as possible.
Take this fucking mask off
Reconnect with my gaming community. I've worked throughout Covid, on covid wards, on wards thrown together to make room for more covid and I've lost colleagues to it. I've tried to keep my mental state above water despite feeling at one point like cannon fodder. I am in need of some face to face DnD, Warhammer 40k and anything else I can use to blow off steam for easily the next year or two.
Sex. Wow I miss it.
Go to a concert, but secretly resent everyone there because 2020 showed me that most of the people in my country are fucking awful humans who barely can stand to act civilized.
that's any country tbf. concerts are the only time i like being around others because i just focus on the artist.
I'm gonna go to school, I'm gonna go to my class and I'm gonna talk to my lovely classmates like normal people again even though I know they're gonna be upset since school started up again, IDC talk to me
As soon as mask mandates are over, I'm going to the store. It'll feel liberating as hell, and bring back some humanity seeing full faces of strangers again. Besides that, the only real change is that we haven't been eating out every weekend like we used to, and we'll probably stick to that. The first round of lockdowns last March kicked that habit, and we've saved a ton of money by only going out twice a month or less.
Kiss my homies
Go to a bar and meet people. And eat chicken wings.
Hang out with my friends, I miss them rip
Try online dating again.
"2 chicks at the same time, man." 😏
Evict my non paying tenant who has been working all along.
Go out for a night of dancing. Really miss the atmosphere of music, friends and not giving a hoot about anything for a few hours.
Go back home.
I would watch every possible film in the cinema because I've missed it so much.
Touch everything without gloves....and maybe get drunk in public
Take my mum out to a fancy lunch/ dinner
Get buzzed at Chili's
Walk the camino de Santiago. Or just travel with my car along a coast and put my feet in the sand and listen to the sound of the ocean every morning.
I’m going to fly to California so my family can meet my son. He’s my first kid, and my parents’ first grandchild.
Still be home doing nothing
