“You’re never gonna have it all figured out…”
When you drive your drunk friend home…
But they pass out in the car (it’s their birthday weekend and they’ve had so much alcohol…), and when you get to their apartment they aren’t waking up so you can get them to their couch…
So instead you take your blanket from the backseat, cover them up, lay the seat back, and just wait. 🤷🏻♀️
I wish I had food. I also wish I could just go home, I want to be comfy in my pajamas and in my bed. This is crap.
But I’m THAT friend. Imma take care of you.

“How you gonna ever find your place runnin at artificial pace?”
A lot has happened since my last post.
First of all, my community has been very hard-hit by Hurricane Helene. That’s a post for another time.
But my Spidey senses are telling me that someone has kinda sorta moved on. They’ve stopped breadcrumbing me. In fact, during the height of the hurricane aftermath they basically gave up on me. Stopped trying to reach out and see if I was ok. It was more fun to go out on the town and drink the night away. Not saying I blame them… just made me realize my place.
Honestly? If they’ve found someone then I am super duper happy for them!!! The moment I realized that might be what’s happening made me smile, because this person deserves happiness.
But dude. Don’t forget about your friends. About the ones that try their best to lift you up and help you to be better.
I’m struggling and you don’t give a crap about it.
So when I am not the same person that you left, just remember you pushed me into this corner.

Who is this HippoChick anyway?
Hi Friendos.
First of all, you’ll find that I say Friendo a lot when referring to all of you. Yes, I did swipe that phrase from Phil the peacock from Animal Crossing. He was one of my favorite villagers in ACNH although he has moved on to a different island now.
As I said with the previous post, my name’s Jenn. I’m a 40-something mom with a big heart and an insane backstory. I will NOT go into a lot of detail unless it’s something I’m comfortable sharing, so don’t ask. Don’t comment requesting to know a ton of intimate facts and information because you’re not getting it, and you’ll probably get blocked. But there ARE some things I don’t mind sharing…
- My favorite color is purple.
- I love most sports, but basketball is my favorite.
- I have three sisters.
- I have a number of nephews and neices.
- I have a German Shepherd mix dog who is currently a huge chunk of my world and my camera roll.
- My kids are mostly grown, but we have a good relationship.
- I’m overweight and want to do something about it, but not enough to go on a drastic diet or anything.
- I have a great relationship with my ex-husband (aka father of my kids).
- I’m a codependent with an anxious attachment style.
- I have a big heart and want the best for people, even if you’re no longer in my life for one reason or another.
- I love music and will go to as many live shows as I can make work with my schedule.
- I take too many selfies when I’m talking with a guy I like. (Oh yeah, I’m single-ish. But that’s a story for another day.)
- I love eyeliner.
- Jigglypuff is my favorite Pokemon.
- I have so much fun playing Fortnite even though I think I’m terrible at it (No Builds is the best mode, and I’ll fight anyone on that).
- Taking out the trash is probably my most hated chore.
- I’m cold all the time.
- And I love hippos. Like, LOVE them.
I think that’s enough for now. Next up is the concert recap from this week. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a fun ride!
