finally got to see my bestie! ugh it's been way too long. she took me to a mediterranean buffet and she picked out a bunch of things for me to try. i loved everything she picked out~

we exchanged christmas gifts and she got me a perfume called mojave ghost. she really knows what types of scents i would like and i think it's cute that she knows me so well even though we only met last year and became close this year.

we walked around some stores for a little bit and then went to pick her mom up. it was my first time meeting her and i didn't realize she was trying to do the la bise thing so it ended up being very awkward and kayla laughed so much lmao.

one of the ladies at big dash gave us strawberries with chocolate and pistachio, which was very sweet of her to do but i was still full from the buffet lol.

finished the night off with some wine and tarot. i love having a best friend that understands all of the ridiculous things i've been through this year and is going through them alongside me. i'm really the luckiest girl in the world.

got to see plum and sen after work today~ we went to 85c and i bought some breads for my family and for myself for breakfast tmrw. i hadn't tried the sea salt coffees there before bc i usually get boba but it was rly yummy. stopped by 99 ranch bc plum wanted kimchi and i got some random chips for my brother to try and some japanese cough suppressants for my sister. so glad serenity decided on korean food since the cold makes me want soup and i started watching kdramas again so i've been craving it. got 순두부찌개 and 돼지불고기 and it was so fuckin good. ended up being way too much food for me lol. that restaurant was cute, it played a lot of 90s and early 2000s kpop.

plum picked me up after work and we ate korean fried chicken. they had my dress up darling playing on one of the tvs and while i do think it is a cute show and i don't personally mind the fanservice that is insane to do lmao.

i realized there was a clawcade in the shopping center and i ended up winning the silliest bootleg snorlax plushie(ima just call him ozempic cop snorlax) and a bag of banana kicks. then we went to the arcade. we played some games that i normally wouldn't and it was a lot of fun! i didn't realize arcana hearts had so many cute characters and now i need to try to learn a character.

plum is back!!! after work we got dinner and drinks and talked a bunch. while we were talking about dating related stuff i was thinking "oh no is this what gemini moon men are like?" anyway i missed him so much. it feels very surreal to see him here again. i'm not used to it lol.

saw danny brown, underscores, and femtanyl with lee today and met her friend jesse. it was such a good show, i'm really glad she invited me. she gave me kandi bracelets and i just love them so much ;~; we don't know each other very well yet but somehow she chose the colors that i love the most. aaaa my heart! i am going to cherish them forever. i think we had some rly good convos about how transformative of a year it has been. aside from all the (painful) growth i am so grateful to have made new friends. it's interesting how purging the draining people from my life has brought in people that do the opposite. life is pretty magical.
