Journal Post 41 Galentine's Day

🩷 Galentine’s Day Special! 🩷

Hello there girls!

I invite you to a little Galentine’s party with me.

Welcome, welcome.

I have never participated in a Galentine’s celebration. So I would be very happy if you joined me! Have you ever been part of a Galentine’s gathering? I’m happy if you have, but if you haven’t, I’m happy to celebrate it together with you!

For the occasion, I have made chocolate brownies. I tried to hack them into heart shapes. Sorry if they are a teensy bit overdone. In order to make them, I stole my partner’s mother’s convection oven. She has a makeshift kitchenette in her bedroom.

With the brownies we also have coffee. I wanted to make black tea, but the Whole Foods brand organic breakfast blend black tea has been giving me nightmares. Sound wild? The only other time I had this was when I drank Chinese pu-erh tea. It was very tasty and authentic. I went to New York City’s Chinatown to get it. However, I learned that nightmares are a sign of heavy metals in tea. Yikes! So we are having coffee, haha.

So, what do women do at a Galentine’s? According to the internet, it is an event where women empower, support, and uplift each other. Yikes! What a bunch of nothing-doo-doo words! I guess supporting is okay, but I think it should be a festive occasion, a chance to forget your problems or make light of them by joking about them? Maybe I “empowered” you by telling you about the neurological effects of heavy metals in tea.

I say, Galentine's should be about friendship, chocolate, and booze all mixed together with heavy sapphic undertones! Yay!

How is your brownie?

By the way, this is the recipe I used:

Whenever I want to make something I haven’t made before, and chef Laura has made it, I use her recipe and follow her video. Her recipes are really simple and always come out super tasty. I have followed her channel for years!

Maybe it would have been nice for us to have some alcoholic drinks too? I feel like a pink sparkly wine would have been super cute. Sorry, maybe with some more forethought I could have bought some. And decorations. I’m not that advanced with hosting parties. The only times I hosted anything was in my early twenties, with the help of family members. I didn’t have any friends, so just some older relatives came. That was sweet of them, because most people did not come!

Don’t feel bad if you’re like me, with little to no friends. Or no social life outside your family. The world is really shitty right now, you’re not alone in your loneliness. There there.

Hope the coffee is not too strong or too weak.

Are you having a good time? What are some other topics we can discuss? Oh! You know what I don’t understand? I’ve watched YouTube videos where girls have “girl talks,” and a lot of the time, most of their notes are about vaginal health. Not a bad thing! Vaginal health is very important! But it surprised me, because I hear “girl talk” and I think: a justifiably angry rant about shit society and how to survive and once in a while be happy in it. Or, how to sort through prospective males to find an okay one. Or, how there used to be women's hotels, and now there really aren't. Or, how cool are the moons of Jupiter. I guess vaginal health isn’t the first thing I expect.

Speaking of vaginal health, I have a question. So they say that not wearing underwear is healthy for your vagina. This is definitely true, although I wouldn’t leave my property without underwear? Maybe if I had a property that abutted a forest or something? But I definitely like to have underwear on if I go out. If I have to sit on public transportation or go on an airplane, I wear a pad or pantyliner.

So my question is, if you don’t wear underwear at home, what do you do if you wear pants? Then don’t the pants become the underwear? How many days can you wear those pants? I guess you get more air down there, so maybe you can swing two days, maybe two and a half? But then doesn’t that wear out the legs with so much laundering? I guess you just have to wash them often. (These are the things that keep me up at night.)

How about some tunes? I used to sing this song at karaoke with friends, during my mid-teen years. I didn't know it was a popular karaoke song until years later. Everyone was very sweet; we all took turns and encouraged each other. Female friendship can be very special.

Well, I guess it’s getting late. Thank you so much for spending Galentine’s Day with me! I had so much fun and I hope you did too! Thank you so much for being my sweet readers!
