hello!!!!
im nora, a lot of people know me as nori, and i wanted to start blogging again as a hobby so i thought this could be a cool platform to try out… i enjoy music, live shows, radio, art, and a lot of other things… and i plan to talk about all of it :)
this will also serve as a spot for me to log mixes from my semester-long radio show ‘in your orbit’ and perhaps i’ll post some of my printmaking work here too, maybe talk about it. trying to keep a really relaxed approach to blogging, because it’s supposed to be fun!
thanks for reading <3

i'm new!! hi!! stumbled on here after seeing someone on twitter mention this in passing!! this is a very lovely place. everything has been so cruel and hateful and mean lately. you'd think given how hard life already is, warm and kind spaces like this would be more common. oh well. it does make things feel more special :)
i'm very shy, and honestly, nothing cool goes on in my life so i doubt i'd be able to rec interesting things. after struggling with my younger years, i feel like i'm only now starting to find the things i like and catching up with everyone else :o especially in terms of art and books and film and games and... everything!! this is kind of embarrassing to admit (it's okay though because anonymity is awesome), but i am only now forming a personality!! it's nice to be here though. very good vibes. lurking here is just as great because it doesn't feel like "doomscrolling"
nice to meet you all!! hello!!

and am really, really terrible at social media. i think this might be why this place appeals to me (from what i can see so far). i just turned 35 (today) and am realizing that i miss just being-in-existence with others.
i want to share about my audio system (and how i don’t really know what i’m doing with it). i want to share about re-designing my house along with my (much cooler than me) wife.
i live a life and it’s messy and that’s okay.
anyway. hi.

Not sure why but it has just been a great album to be doing my homework to. I've been using my CD copy for the last few days, and when I finish it I end up just looping it back again. Just a classic, never gets old.

it’s already march! that’s crazy! and i’ve been having a pretty shitty 10 days. time has been moving far too quickly. and recently i’ve been having this ache in my heart… yearning, if you will. for what? i don’t know exactly. a lot of it is probably intimacy, touch, love, the usual. but i also yearn for my room to stay organized, for my fingers to move across the frets of my bass quicker and in a way that sounds good, and i yearn for a lot of people, professors, peers, customers at my barista job, to be nicer. lots of stuff in my mind palace the last few days. so i made a mix compiled with songs i considered fitting for the theme of yearning. i also discussed yearning in relation to lesbian stereotypes. for queer women generally, but i prefer to speak on the experiences i know first-hand. and it’s cloudy today, just a little bit of misery for everyone’s mid-day listening session.

im gonna ramble for a second. i have a real distaste for dating apps, but despite this i still don’t delete them. a small part of me thinks it’ll work out in my favor one day. but shoutout the loyal storylikers i’ve gained from failed hinge talking stages hahaha… i have a very loose definition of ‘type’ in terms of physicality, and even then someone physicality is never a deal breaker. usually. i don’t think i am meant to meet people this way. and i think a lot of people also say this so i am not original in this feeling, but i think i need to fall in love with a friend, someone that there is already a baseline compatibility with, a mutual appreciation already there. all the fanfic i read as a kid was a friends to lovers trope! and i think it works for a reason. that being said its scary to become friends with someone and then think your feelings are further than platonic, because now its hard to decipher between what could be deliberately flirty or just like. your standard hang ykno? i still have never successfully deciphered this so i don’t wanna stand on my soapbox and act like i have any real expertise. just thinking out loud. i’ve been kinda lonely recently and everyone around me has been getting into relationships, this venus retrograde is no joke haha. and the added nuance to the lesbian dating experience, ive been feeling more isolated than usual. sorry this one’s a bummer a little!!! maybe i should stick to album / song reviews
