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.

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.

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

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
