Brooklyn Rants

Dear whoever is reading this, it's too late now. You're stuck here.

I've talked about how I really don't like pencils here before (granted that was two years ago so I don't blame you if you forgot) but I did not mention the very specific brand of dollar store pens I repurchase every 6 months because I refuse to use any other pens. They're not particularly good quality pens, but they are cheap and I love them almost as much as mac n cheese.

One time I washed and styled my hair and when it finished drying it looked like a lego head. Like you know how minifigures have that smaller circular bump on the top of their head to attach a hair or hat to? That's what my hair was shaped like. I also had no idea how to fix it so I just walked around like a lego brick for a few days.

I think I mentioned in passing to my dance team last year that I'm mildly gluten intolerant (mildly meaning according to doctors I shouldn't eat but I do anyway and feel perfectly fine) but they took this very seriously. Whenever someone brought crackers or something to a competition I would reach for one and they'd all be like “Brooklyn that has gluten” like yeah I know. I would always eat it anyway, and then they’d warn me again at the next competition because I guess they never picked up on the fact that gluten will not kill me, even after I told them explicitly, multiple times.

Speaking of my dance team, at the beginning of the season, they have us write letters to ourselves to open in the spring before we go on stage. Cute, right? This is the letter I wrote for the 2025/26 year…
