i also hope you guys like the clerk girl, for some reason i came up with a bit of lore for her? hahah?? she's in one of those "it's fun to antagonize you" friendships with clark lol

and the ending! i had so many days like this- being a weird hyper nerd/ goth kid really messed with my brain a lot when i was younger. sometimes you need those quiet moments just to reflect and...*be* you know? on another note, i really miss my gramma.

In 2005 or 2006, I was a very small, very good little Catholic school child who wasn't allowed to use the internet and had no concept of any media outside of PBS kids or Spongebob. That was about to change.

I was visiting my Gramma's house on her lovely, barely chugging along AOL OC computer. Youtube was still brand new and I was exploring the front page. And there...was a KH2 youtube poop. I'm not joking. This is how I found KH.

Through that video I backwards engineered my way through the KH story and realized I had come across the most mind-meltingly cool thing my child mind could think of- Disney characters....with DRAMA...and ANGST...I had never experienced anything so edgy and grown-up feeling
