OOMFCHELLAAAA

[fwcu]

i had oomfchella with my parents, i had oomfchella with nouralottie and i had oomfchella with teeks! and inshallah i will have oomfchella  againnnnnn


>is going to bd bc ur brother is getting married count as oomfchella? do your parents count as oomfs? IF THEY LIVE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY THEY DO.... which reminds me i have to send a meme to my dad... first of all, I cannot believe how much having a good relationship with your parents really affects the way you feel and orient yourself to the concept of >They Live Across The World In Different Country to you... like I know this is a reality for a lot of people, but I cannot help feel soooo alone and unfairly affected by this condition...

>yes we did do int'l oomf meet up in LONDON, which was really funny and great conceptually like yayyyy let's all meet in the middle where none of us live or inhabit or are close to... it was GREATTTT... I cannot help but feel extremely cheered and charmed and thinking of lottie telling me about nouraciellottie meet-up where ciel slept like a gremlin dog at the foot of their beds during the 3 days they spent tgt and ciel snapping at noura to clean up while they were out for bbt. also noura don't read this part: but sometimes oomf has a really hot sister. but that is none of my business it was just a really funny thing that happened bc it really was like #Real_Recognise_Real where i was seeing the ghost of ex-oomr in her shadow and I was like um so I know exactly what ur lived experience is like so I need to gather as much information as possible via asking the most insane questions possible in front of your sister, MY BELOVED OOMF, with whom the closet seems to be occluded glass ? like we're both just ignoring each other's closets i guess. also we made noura cry. which was so awesome my inner alphadomtop_Sadist was so satisfied... it was really funny because I am no doubt the biggest crybaby and i lowkey had been crying nonstop the week before oomfchella, so i guess I really just all cried out by the time I landed and even though I undoubtedly had so much turmoil and #issues to parse, it just was not happening for me. lottie cried a little bit too which was also sexy. also lottie don't read this part: BADDIE? KNOWN BADDIE IN MY TW3 SERVER? ngl half of my running internal thought process this weekend was like >Is it ethical to check out oomf in horny but nonsexual way? like surely we've ascended past this... whatever.... it's a really weird balance between um everyone knowing each other's weird twisted psyches so intimately and also >You should still treat these guys you have just met for the first time ever Courteously and Like Normal People/Friends/Pleasant Strangers...
anyone quickflash speed speed speed recount:

1. day1 was lowkey so crazy bc I landed and then was like >Lottie can I come over and drop my luggage off at ur hotel room so we can kickstart the very limited number of hours we have together... which I was so crazy self-conscious about because I was like >Is that too forward? Should I be having more courtesy and curating more of a polite boundary instead of automatically assuming a level of intimacy or closeness or willingness for imposition... but lowkey I was overthinking that and lottie truly would have let either of us kick it back in their hotel room which was sort of crazy but nice to knowww.... and it was also soooooooooo I looked like shit but who fucking CAREDDDDD... well I cared a little bit but I did realise immediately that I wasn't winning hottest oomf at the meet-up so it didn't even matter. are you supposed to be this honest about this sort-of thing? anyway... my final thought is that i will miss noura beautiful sad confused deerface everyday until I die and also i neeed lottie aegyo pc in my phone case rn... we went to soho & chinatown.... which, believe it or not but this becomes the Recurring Location that we never leave or escape, but it's fineee... we went to bara-poster and anime shop and pop-mart and i think this was the day where we went to the udon place and me and the gay waiter had gay v gay beef lowkey ... and then we went to a lesbian club which was so funny for so many reasons but maybe just that it was extremely empty and we were 3 clearly gayish people with absolutely 0 sexual tension between any of us [not for lack of trying? for lack of trying? sometimes the fujo2fujo2fujo bond is so strong and pure it exceeds the need for manufactured romantic/sexual entanglements. not that it wouldn't have been fun...] sorry like the other 50% of my internal thought process was like 'this is so sexless and harmonious i need drama and friction and weirdness rn...' which... idk i went from an extremely high stakes environment to an extremely nice idyllic oomf meet-up so i kind of needed like a little bit of toxic fumes in the air it was too much of situation swap... WAAHHHHHH.... we ended with pizza from a random chain location bc everything else we were looking at had closed... but it was nice even though we all like different toppings and i come off as such a picky eater when given the opportunity to complain... really funny non-muzzie x non-muzzie clash where both me and noura were ok with drinking but i wasn't okay with having pork, but noura was like hello? we're litr on vacation it's allowed... which was soooo ... it's true... also one of my regular orders sometimes is a BLT... so idk why I chose to die on that hill this weekend but I felt it like it was lowkey necessary to impose dietary restrictions for #diversity rights or something ... DON'T ASK HOW MY BRAIN WORKS!!!
2. d2 was ... TATE > LILLI VANELLI > NATGALLERY day,... this started with me running away from noura at the tate cafe and then us colouring miffys tgt while lottie moodily watched... then we looked at paintings and modern art pieces and then went to afternoon tea and it was like the four seasons is soooo fancyyyy and so it was worth it just to experience such a beautiful space and also the insane number of doors you have to go through to get to the bathroom, which was really nice... anyway i love architecture and interior design :) ... the food, which i was really excited for and voted for and strongarmed my beloved oomfs into picking over the other tea option, was mid... i didn't like it... NAHHHH... NOOOO!!! whatever... i'll live... the desserts were delicious though.... natgal, where it was awesome to fujo out and make fujoistic assumptions about these paintings, lottie was genuinely so horny over jesus i was like Damn okay... alright... I get it lowkey now like uhh they were eroticising the fuuuck out of that man and penetrating him everywhere ...also it was genuinely so fun to be like 'this guy definitely has Fucked [a man]' though nouralottie ongoing bit was like 'this guy looks like X kind of tiktokker/a jared/etc' which were not jokes i understood or found funny but it's cute and charming in hindsight even though it was lowkey Nothing in the moment... isn't that the awesome thing about memory and distance-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder ... then we had dumplings at a chn restaurant that nouralottie got recommended by some thrift shop owner they'd talked to the day before, and it was really nice ambience wise and i wanted their merch so bad it was just like, dawg, british money is sooo expensive even though the price is not... the waitress was extremely beautiful and had this cauterised cut above her lip?around her mouth? which was sooo sxc.... noura saw 'oriental beauty tea' and immediately ordered it, and it was normal... but it was so cute that she was so charmed and hypnotized by it... lowkey i was feeling like such a greedy gluttonous person the entire 3 days like my bad for being a guy who is always hungry and wants more food... im sorryyy... and then we meet noursis for the first time ever and while I had been loser sitting alone on the booth as nouralottie showed united front without meee she had to slink into the booth and then i found it so funny that her phonescreen was a screenshot of a 30 day poetry challenge. and then we talked about books and alienated the illiterate lottie a little bit... IM KIDDING lottie is so literate and was doing castration studies while i was wasting precious sleeping time reading ao3... the TUBE... which we all bitched about and judged in different ways...
3. STONEHENGE DAYYY... wherein we got sandwiches from this italian place, except somehow me and lottie saying we were going to share one ended up with us both getting a normal sized sandwich, and we had like 2498202 minutes of preamble which was sooooo... me >I can't eat pork and i don't like olive oil and I don't like x/y/z toppings and cheeses, and me and lottie are lowkey opposite preferences so i don't know why that happened like that but it was really funny... and i had a mid iced latte from a different place that had somewhat nice looking pastries but that was not any of our business... we revealed our favourite tw3 oomfs: beth, mich, ciel... you can guess whose was who's, this was also noursis second sighting which was ... just really funny in many ways... i'm sorry i can't say anything else not only could it be incriminating but IM NOT SUPPOSEDDD TOOO... though trust me that noura is the Real Cool Intellectual between the two of them... just trust me on that one.... like if this was a <pick between two brothers situation> she would be the secret dark horse seme who wins out in the end.. TO ME... or not to me but I would 1pick her in that situation and develop SLS in the event the plot didn't work out the way i wanted. but yeah. fantasising about oomf being in a love triangle aside; I was so aggressively interrogating her so bad i couldn't help ittttt... it was like truly my annoying_guy instinct had been set off by finding a guy who was so chill and calm and nice, like this is genuinely my bad habit and also myyy catnip like don't put a guy like that in front of me i will start biting!!!!
4. also i was soooo snotty and gross this weekend it was really awful for me... i was literally dripping snot and blowing my nose all the time and it was so humiliating and disgusting I AM SORRY OOMFS...
5. anyway noura was sugardaddy maxxing af during our trip which was nice, because i was like we didn't have to pay 45pounds each for separate tickets there was a group ticket option!!! and she was like 'dinner is on meee, noura thee generous, for this unimaginable blunder of being so scared of missing the train that we were going to miss that i speedran ticket buying...' then we made it for the absolute last bus to stonehenge, and then we ambled thru the woods and fields and me and noura were watching with parental disregard as lottie was sooooo charmed by the sheeps and shit and we were both like 'yeah animals are kinda whateverrrr' and then we saw stonehenge which really was Rocks... and sort of sooo underwhelming except also really funny bc they make such a big deal of it being in the middle of nowhere and isolated and needing a special tour and bus and then u go and u can hear the sounds of the British Highway ... then we hit up the stonehenge cafe counter and lottie bought a scone they hated and i bought the most delicious strawberries and cream ice cream of my life that was perfectly tart and sweet and cold ... like one thing u may not know about me is that i'm so scared of eating ice cream cuz i'm always worried it's going to be too sweet and then i won't be able to finish or eat it fr fr and then well, that didn't happen bc the ice cream was DELICIOUS... i don't think noura bought anything or i don't remember, and we went back on train :)
6. OH, it was on the train to stonehenge where we got so much beautiful_noura_tears and backstory and look into her sick twisted psyche and family matters and it was all because we were playing therapy game... which noura had purchased with lottie while they were at the freud museum... lottie also cried a little bit but much more demurely and secretly and i was promising everyone that i would be crying so badly except I guess I locked in too hard into being a Cool Chill Guy for the weekend. I think my problem with meeting oomfs irl is that I love to project being normal, mostly because I am normal but also i love to be the least interesting person in the room... ??? i don't know... i can't explain it... i just can't act quirky for the life of me fr whatever reason... also i genuinely do think i'm way more normal than how internetty and not-like-other-girls i come off.... lottie does this thing that's really cute which is instead of making or replying to a joke they kinda just like make a vaguely /Hmm face and look somewhere else and it was SOOOO CUUUTEEE every time...lovingly i have rendered noura way more limby-er and taller in my memory just because that should be her true form idk... it was amazing how much olive she owned... like damn bitch it's cartoon character wardrobe over hereee... it was also really cute that she was like stoic mannequin wrt reacting to physical touch but then like completely receptive to it... and also in general i used to be a really touchy person but then i was around a super non touchy person for a long time so i'm out of the habit and no one care so i'm way worse and way less natural than i used to be but we can bring it back one oomf at a timeeee
7. okie and then we went back to soho for kbbq and i had a delicious cocktail that cursed me and OK kbbq ... do u know they make you PAY FOR KIMCHI at kr restos in london? why are they crazy... noura and lottie indulged in pork belly and then they were so demurely like 'we could not eat a bite more' and i was like, in my mind, i'm could do another round but it's chill... but it was fine, it was a good amount of food... and then once again we parted aways....
8. LAST DAYYY... was actually so painful because i was hungover and then the path from east putney to the cafe everyone was gathered at was fsr soooo frustrating and annoying and it was so hot and i didn't like my outfit anddd i think i was generally in like hungover psychosis and discomfort ... so i got to the cafe and was so frustrated by the arcane and insane menu that i started crying as i was waiting for my food which sorry to that waiter... and then nouralottie had to come search for me and i was demurely behaving badly for the next little bit because the hangover was killerrrr also it's kind of so FOMO_Guy af to be the last one to arrive to a group hangout and everyone knew each other and i didn't know everyone... what? my own oomfs would alienate me in this way? Yes. and they did. then we went thrifting for lottie's babydoll dress and i looked at bookshelves while they looked at clothes and then bought nothing even though there were soooo many classics and good books at soooo cheap because My True Prize would be at noura's hotel dining room where they had 13020290 books on the shelf FOR DECORRRR purposes and i stole two of them. bc why buy a book when you can Steal a book that is definitely never going to be read. not that i've read them yet myself... yet another situation where i was sitting next to nourasis and interrogating her for 0 reasons. like genuinely she was such a nice calm person that I had to be annoying. in a way where i could not be annoying with noura and lottie because ummm noura simply would not care and i was afraid of making lottie cry or be pissed off or etc ... and also noura is so much better at trolling and ragebaiting me than i am at ragebaiting her imagine that.... it litr so fucking sad when we had to go but we did...
9. and then we[lottie and i] climbed up scary stairs bc the elevator situation at the station we got off was so insane .... why would your elevator resemble a hallway? i don't understand... like the sign 'elevator this way' and it directs you Through A Corridor, and you would expect that the elevator would be on the other side of the other side of the corridor, like no dawg they meant the Corridor itself was the elevator. beautiful af snazzy station colours and slay though. also such a funny moment where it was me and lottie on the stairs and a guy who had been similarly confounded by the elevator situation that he was climbing up with us and laughing with us about and then lottie saying something about perverts looking up their skirt and the guy SPRINTED up the stairs ... ace. classic. #laffs. then i bought lottie a cone while i got an affogato bc there was a gelato shop we all wanted to go to on the first night but it wasn't the one we ended up at... which is FINEEE it was good i enjoyed it... and also lottie took my favourite pic of me in london that is now my ig profile so there's thatttt .... and then we went to lottie's hotel room and looked at ark knights guys and then played our respective gachas a little....
10. our last tgt was me and lottie going to the nat gallery againnnn but this time for irl_drawspacies, which we prefaced with delicious banh mi and a nice walk To, and at one point we tried to go to a program labelled as 'all ages' but they meant 'all ages [of children]' which we were not.... then we had delicious kr food again and had a spicy squid dish that i really liked and Good Kimchi this time [that regretfully we had to pay for] and then i think we just fucked about and dillydallied and went into this chinese bookshop [again we did not leave soho ever] which was kinda slayful ... and then i don't knowww... im having memory loss.... we went to a suuuper expensive antique book shop which upon entering I realised was not a normal bookshop and instead only dealt in First Editions, we walked into like a h-mart esque kind of store for nothing, then to one of those over-priced thrift boutiques where lottie considered shoplifting but did not bc she does not have the #true spirit of it [i would've shoplifted it for them if requested] ... uhhhh and then we walked around Soho For Real For Real, like the fancy cobblestone street sections with the actual botique street stores and went into one of those cutesy jp merch stores and a very actually cool thrift flip place, where I was also looking at bucket hats bc im still not over them and want one sooo bad and lottie was looking at cute tops, and before all this we walked into one of those Fancy sleek staples-esque stationary shops which wasn't really #giving... sorry i don't like them office_departmentalised... and then we had desserts at this filipino place that was instagram famous, and it was really good actually even though i made the mistake of ordering coffee but lottie's taro ice cream bun thing was so good!!! and then it was time to drop lottie offf and we were both like 'aaaah im so fucked up' though i was under the suspicion this would've been a more heartfelt moment had it been nouralottie/all three of us... which i think you're not supposed to say but IT'S TRUEEEEE for various reasons you would simply understand if u understood...
11. but also I think we were all so tiredddddd like i basically never slept off my flight/jet lag and then it was 3 days of nonstop walking and chatting and #Exposure and vaguely switching between Guys who know each other so well in many regards vs Guys who are playing icebreakers with e/o for the first time ever... and again this does nothing to stop it from being my most cherished and BEST experience of the year I LOVE MY OOMFS!!! i can only hope to see them again and again and again and one day reach the promised dream of oomftopia...

>Dr.oomf's adventures in YYZ...

1. this was like deeply humiliating for me in many way that had nothing to do with teeks and more so with me being in the most flopdump era of my quarter during this weekend... like i had nothing interesting to say no interesting thoughts way less knowledge about toronto or hockey pilgramage and sports rpf and etc than the oomf who came before me... and I HAD NO QUESTIONS PREPAREDDDD... and also I ended up being the vaguely awkward guys to teeks' extremely affable normal charming guy which was so shocking.... also if u know teeks on any online platforms and have associated them with any of their pfps or all of them tgt in a succession of images that shapes your aesthetic expectations of a person... well i can only say that Teeks was so much more normal than anything I would expect... and then I was like >WELL DUH. this is oomf who has basically succeeded in academia like what else were they supposed to be like...
2. teeks lowkey did perfect describe every oomf's gender perfectly a couple days after we hung out by asking if 'cisgender nonbinary' was a legible identity to submit and that is truly how i feel about every oomf... i lowkey was thinking so much about like #Girl #Woman -ism the whole time when hanging out with oomfs bc it really is like you're so genderless and non-entity on the internet in a way and also going 'my dick hard' and i personally, complain so much about femininity and 'Femme' as a category and then you gotta meet an oomf irl and it's like LET ME BRING THE MAKEUP OUTTT... so in this regard noura was the most swagful and respectable because she truly rawdogged it and it was really beautiful bc her poser masc sister was litr wearing makeup im sorry teeks i genuinely was expecting a hazardous frazzled hag look i have to say it.... i was genuinely anticipating and eager for more of a freakguy but then i ended up spending two days having someone be SOOOO nice to me and gracious and extremely affable and charming and chatty and i was like oh okay some people have Everythinggg... again I don't think I'm supposed to be saying this and I will not claim to mean no offense, because I'm clearly refusing to censure myself and writing this knowing that it's not particularly polite conversation ... it was just like :) idk i like that everyone is normal idk i guess a lot of the time my working definition of normal is about rejecting the category of Femme, which seems to have claimed Any sort of make-up wearing, [and also rejecting the concept of butch/masc] but we just gotta admit that unfortunately make up is a social tool at this point in time sort of trying really hard to untangle the concept of like >makeup makes u look more like a girl >make up makes u look Better wherein i don't want makeup to be the thing that makes me look like a girl bc i want to look like a girl without makeup. which i am sure i do i just hate that it seems to the surface level entry into girlishness anyway this has really little to do with oomfs other than the acknowledgement that we all be wearing makeup as a sort of social nicety to one another [i want to look nicer for you][which both encompasses doing this For the benefit of the other person to have a better time looking at u and u thinking that that will make such a thing happen] [[no one is saying that noura didn't look nice or want to look nice, we were on spacies DECIDING OUTFITS AND CLOTHES WITH HERRRR]] ... idk we're pondering the reality of like not wearing makeup is more of a social/identity statement in many ways and in and in specific social situations that is different to wearing makeup that is different to wearing makeup /femme ...
3. anyway i guess i sort of felt like yk how people were like [you need to read this list of insane classics to understand this rfk release] that's how i felt about meeting teeks... i was like fuck i have to learn everything about queer theory and design and COMPUTER and vr and et al RNNNNNN so i don't look like a DUMBASS ... like actually genuinely this was, for me, way less like hanging out with a friend and way more like trying to get office hours with a really cool chic prof that u need an excuse to keep up a conversation/rapport with... i did think it was really funny that teeks' to-go-to conversation was like 'damn... it's so fucked up that this is different from how it is in australia' ... idk how other people feel about it, but i do think it's so interesting that meeting oomfs_irl is suddenly like oh okay! personal life is suddenly THEEE prime topic we should be telling each other about ... and I'm not saying I didn't enjoy these conversations or find them illuminating ... it's like oh my god we hung out for 5 years on the internet because i like hearing u talk about everything that's not ur personal life ... but like part of it is like Finally i know you are a real person and also none of this will be screenshottable and or leakable therefore i can Tell You the previously forbidden Stuff and also >we have spent 5 years talking about everythign but this sector ... and this is now therefore Prime land to graze on as we adjust to the Real Corporeal Person of the disembodied text .... like sort of hard to be like 'and i need this guy RAWEDDDD and think he has hella freudian psychosexual rs with car' in public spaces. which u have to hang out in . not that it stopped freaks like me and noura but... sometimes you can have pity for the people u are sharing a space with though i also abide by the concept of like people are usually so immersed in their own convos they don't care about yours... anyway part of my lamenting about this is also just like and is this even more true for my own irls but i hate talking about my life ? like i don't think it's interesting ever despite the fact that there are probably many interesting and entertaining stories there...
4. anyway I know sooooooo much about teeks now that was kept so secretive and or paranoidically avoided... or at least it felt to me that way, maybe teeks was not actually doing or saying or feeling any of that... which is an awesome bounty in it's own right but now it's like >dawg what will i do with this knowledge... esp bc it's like someone else's backstory so i'm like Guess I'll have to write about it to make use of it... here's my australian side character who's lived-experience makes so much sense when u take into account the contexts under which people in their life are operating by ... mhmm mhmmm.... it was also soooooo y'know to be in the ago with them. like imagine hanging out with a guy who u have completely different tastes in art . like teeks would be like 'whoa i love this!' and i would be like 'i can't say something rude about this but i'm not going to Lie but also it's so offputting i'm just Silent...' sorry, I think my oomfs have observed this, but I have bad manners. also the tit-for-tat who pays situation was soooooo knowing about teeks via [several instances of agonising about how feel neurotic via being offered things/bill splitting/etc] but not remembering the specific rules of those interactions and their specific preferences and also MEETING A GUY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVERRR it's just rough. especially when you're on 0% brainpower!!!!
5. is this making it sound like my weekend with teeks was bad? that was litr not the case. it's just it hasn't been long enough to have the memoryyy be soooo nice and so i'm still agonising about my self-perceived social missteps -- but also I want to record them because i think it's interesting to know how/what/why someone thought of a specific situation and im 2 days post-period andddddd unlike with lottienoura, I HAD SO MUCH COMPETITIONNNNNNN with teeks like they were doing a hitlist of guys so it's not >My Meeting With Oomf it's like >I met many oomfs in succession, and i know not everyone does this but I do love a ranked list. and so i can't help but want to be in the higher echelons of any kind of ranked situation... and no doubt this review will continue to plummet my standings but i just don't see the point in Not being truthful about this sort of thing??????? like i was having this conversation with lin [who i want to be oomf no.3 in the hitlist of this year as greedy as it is] but like surely if i'm honest about my thought process other people will reciprocate with their own and then we can work together in achieving my project of understanding and observing the human psyche towards finding the 'normal'
6. day1 we did ... >mollytea into >AGO into >dumplings into >misc college street haunts... into a second cup bc it was the only place open... i wish we lowkey ended up kicking back in a tims bc i feel like that is Such A Classical Canadienne experience that teeks probably would've enjoyed in trying to understand how the ambiance and mood and vibe of a tims, which are perpetually busy even when emptyish, like yeah teeks hung out at a tims or stopped by them but the experience of killing time with an acquaintance at a tims is sooooooooooooooo whatever... inshallah they did that while in mtl... i actually really appreciated that teeks did not care for shopping and or liked books/novelty compared to noura and lottie who wanted clothes specifically, and actually overall i think me and teeks had way more preferences aligned than me/lottie/noura which was also so nice and validating vs like the 3 days in london where i was like 'am i the weird misfit oomf here?' which obviously is not a real feeling and instead is a joke that sounds more serious when committed to text but like genuinely. GREAT.
7. look, as someone who talks to a fair amount of people and is weirdly vulturistic and sometimes [nit]picky about social interaction, i genuinely cannot overstate how much teeks is good at talking and being charming and affable and making engaging or interesting conversation... which litr i know a lot of interesting people and i also know a lot of people who are not that interesting but are good conversationalists, so I was lowkey basking in the aura of the rare guy who was Both. though that might've been the novelty of teeks being an australian canadaboo... also as someone who has done quite a few offline meet ups and is not that great at Making Conversation, it's like RARE!!! to find a guy who is good at talking to you for 2 days straight. like i know i was struggling with it while in london!!!
8. day2 was kind of funny bc i had oomirl hannah meet me at mollytea so i could have more mollytea after being introduced to mollytea to drop off the lafufus and then hannah was like 'why are u acting so weird about me meeting ur oomf' and i was like 'i would love to introduce u two i really would i just cannot spring this randomly on oomf who i am meeting for the 2nd time in my life bc that seems like a social violation despite whether or not they would be cool with it' in the end i think i approached this weekend assuming, somewhat mistakenly, that teeks was more autistic in ways that they are not, but that's what happens when u know someone predominantly thru their neurosis posting... like wow... i didn't know u were so normal in actuality... i imagine this is also the experience of meeting most writers and academics and intellectuals. like anyone know that james joyce gertrude stein story where joyce was like standing alone in her library bc he felt sooo awkward at her party like dawg you're james joyce, and then u know he goes on to write about it like they knew how weird and fucked up i was and so i was a social pariah in the room... but u were gertrude stein and u were like 'yeah that was a normal guy who seemed a little shy' ... though i guess in teek's case it is litr that paragraph from kafka's wiki page where he finds himself disgusting and disfigured but everyone around him thinks he's pleasant and good looking but im the guy reading kafka's diary only and 100% believing him and not giving him the benefit of the doubt bc im too purehearted and gullible. so in the end litr only noura remained true to expectations.... and even then she wasn't evenlike that.... [not tall enough]
9. then we went on ttc, and i was like should i kill myselfff bc the yellow line was taking SO LONG and we could've litr walked to yonge station in the time it took for it to get there and longer to switch trains, and then we walked down to maha's which was a very normal walk but that was litr okay because that was the experience teeks wanted and then MAHAS WAS SO GOOD!!! but the tea was bad... so i wish i ordered it in small .... but the food was so good.... or it was normal good... i mean obviously i felt like a ravenous beast with teeks as well, but it was more chill when it's 1v1 vs 2v1 ... and then she was telling me about the intricacies of f1 and lowkey this is my favourite kind of conversation when one guy is just mansplaining to me the thing that they like.... but also like #yasss unlocking context for the things that have all my oomfs in a griphold without having to actually do independent researchhh.... and then we walked to chris tanev's hs but we took a break across a hospital in the middle of construction so teeks could give me vegemite. which was. Thank you. genuinely such a funny and strange moment in hindsight. imagine being the middle of a conversation about How Houses Look(?) and google maps streetviewing each other's houses, and then like, Here have a spreadable jar of a thing. and then we were at a starbucks, which was soooo... it was really beautiful to have normative hanging out at normal chain shop detour instead of [Hanging out as an Event which requisites Fancy Independent Unique Location of Cafe/Resto/Etc] ... and we did it TWICEEE... like oh my god i don't have to pretend to frequent fancy cafes... not that you're doing that it's just like damn... the comfortable mundaneity of the expectationless chain shop where being in it isn't like a performance in itself....
10. and then to a park. which i thought had some kind of area of interest but no it was just teeks looking at google maps and going Cheers, and then to the much better Woodbine Beach Park... which i took teeks to in part to show off the way nicer residential area compared to the surburbian blandness we'd been wading through, but i don't know that we were able to actually appreciate any of the houses... but also bc i like woodbine beach and i love an excuse to take people to and be in the area of !!!
11. also teeks' australian accent was like i don't know... it was like imagine a vaguely rural guy like in a canadian way almost??? where the accent never threw me off which was so SADGE!!!! curse ye teeks for sounding mostly like a normal guy to me!!! this is a compliment in that i couldn't laugh at it and therefore was unable to make fun of the australianosity but also really really very very sad to meet australian oomf and not be able to point and laugh at the aussie-ism....
12. also it was kind of so obvious to me that we litr were living examples of like cultural/generational/etc gap ... there were so many things where i was like 'i can't say the thing i would usually say rn' bc it's unwoke and not liberal enough for the person i am hanging out with WHICH WAS A GOOD THING i think bc i am really often sloppy in my phrasing and not particularly careful about language, and this is sort of just because of the 'era' of education im at rn, whereas it was soooo clear that the institutional practices that teeks was accommodated to and from were really diff from mine just in the sense of how we view/spoke about things ... i think where this would've shown most was wrt to indigenous themes/topics and general treatment of in our respective social worlds where Despite [or bc of] being the Residential School Country there is such a flimsy/shallowness in how we approach and don't center? [modern] indigenous thought/issues/etc in a lot of general education... idk i feel like im not elucidating this well.. also the concept of code-switching does piss me off in general as someone who's like 'why wouldnt i act the same around everyone' but its true sometimes your beloved oomf is an australian white person and that means a few things... not important ones but like danggggggg it's hard to be so toronto sometimes... 

um so no one kill me or more likely block me/disengage from all platforms/etc........................ and i love all of u............. and these were the best weekends of my year and i need to exist in that oomf demiplane at all times..........<3

first of all it is so funny and perfectly niz that your oomfchella report is so much more detailed and sincere and revealing of the people involved and yourself... the true writers spirit....


1. i cant believe you made noura cry what does this MEANNNNNNNNN i need to rotate this in my mind for weeks
2. all of the nouralottie time recounting is amazing and killing meeeee but the nourasis subplot is insanesklfdkmslfmdsklfds

3. can i be real i feel very lucky to get niz in her authentico mode of incapable of putting up a front but i really am just too polite to pry very much so im sorry for not prying more which now i understand would have pleased you.... (??) although you do mention hating talking about your own life so idk

dying at you being impressed at my normal guy roleplay based on how abject and freakish i am online..... true though

i am not offended though re: makeup talk bc i was also feeling like ? hmmm about my own urge and desire to Look Nice for oomfs + deciding to wear makeup felt like a very deliberate choice that would have ramifications but i just didnt know what... but not only did i wear makeup i wore my CHIKAWA DJ shirt for you and THAT didnt get a comment ... :(

really funny that you felt like you had to study for our convo which is not true....and then i was really boring and self centred with my convo... litr after was like ahuuuuughhhh did i talk too much about meee did i talk too much about australia but idk i like the comparative studies :((( but i like your reflection on how much the gravity of the convo pulls towards discussing irl, i like that aspect bc i do feel like, as much as both of us gladly share irl stuff online and self dox a bit, there's still plenty we hold back. so its like a relief and a long missing part that i have wanted for us to be able to share in the past....

i wouldve gladly talked more fujoshi stuff although maybe not too gladly at too loud a volume but our fujoshi activities are soooo disparate that i wouldnt even know where to start... i shouldve made you rank your top 5 genshins or something damn


I CANT BELIEVE YOU HID FROM ME THAT YOU HATED MY TASTE IN ARTTTT WE SHOULDVE BEEFED ABOUT THIS AT LENGTH

i forgor about my billpaying anxiety but hopefully we did an ok job and i covered you the right amount of times in thank you for being a gracious host.. this was an unusual context tho i dont even know that remembering any of my previous anxieties would have helped you

" i'm still agonising about my self-perceived social missteps "

you literally didnt make any..... or if you did then i did too bc there are no RIGHT steps for this internet phenomena... i think its interesting we both had fun and enjoyed it so much but are still both like auguuuhghhhhhhhh did we do okay i need to get a marking sheet back from oomf

i knew you would be competitive re: oomf rankings but i refuse to humour you on this

basking in you saying im good at conversation though negl like all that shit is sooo manually trained and practiced and honed and 10,000 hours of habit built up via iron will etc etc thank you for respecting my labour. although it is kind of funny to feel like i maybe lost points in my oomf evaluation for being too normal(normative?)... i dont understand how you missed the amount of frazzle living underneath my skin at all time but maybe you just have a calming effect on me. or something

kinda unsurprised that the aus accent was mild / not that different to you but honestly i really did struggle with all 3 oomfs (very different????) accents for diff reasons TT_TT sorry for saying WHAT? and SORRY? and HUH!? so many times lkmfdsklfmdsklfds

"i can't say the thing i would usually say rn' bc it's unwoke and not liberal enough for the person i am hanging out with "
dude what are you talking about what DARKWOKE and POLITICALLY INCORRECT shit were you keeping from me... its so funny how you like respect me and stuff.... altho i do think i am like more demure around u bec i can sense this slightly and maybe give off more of a propriety oriented facade than i do with others... i need you to explain more what you mean by oomf being an australian white person and how this difference showed in how we talk about indigenous themes frrrr and how you think institutional practices shape that !!! not in an interrogatory way or like only a little bit bc as much as i have harped on about canada having similar colonial histories it like. is not that similar... i did also only learn a bunch of stuff reading wikipedia on the train to mtl so i wasnt like quite ready for it maybe. but i wouldve listened to your genz problematica explanations of things!!!! and more importantly getting a personality / knowledge /praxis review from the outside really is very helpful ... i feel like canada taught me sooo much about australia in comparison so it's also a bit like well im also learning about myself. in comparison. obvs feel free to respond priv if you prefer

this isnt a well thought out response or anything i just feel sooo flattered and special and beloved for getting such a sincere and attention-ful and particular review .... you are truly the realest dw poster of all time.

wait i also forgot to say that i too had us Roaming bookstores as a key highlight bc it was such a genuine friendship moment.... like when u drift and look at things and then come back to each other and have things to show each other or dont.... leaving each other to ur own devices to browse..... monitoring the other person in your orbit.... losing them and texting them where r u...... very important memory to me.

- its very funny to be anyones fave tw3 oomf (previously under the impression i was nondescript incomprehensible tw3 oomf)...... [POST-CHECKING DISCORD EDIT: FORMER FAVE OOMF I GUESS!!!!!!!] well anyway Some or at least One of us, us being the girls reading this, might find your social hangups and zoomerisms charming and narratively consistent and so take no issue with it. just felt like i needed to say this, apropos of nothing, related to nothing also
- love that teeks has unnie status effect that compels you to drop dead rats (fun facts/topics of discussion) in front of them in hopes of being taken seriously as a peer IRL as well as online
