hi

• 16

• male

• dundee, scotland

i speak english fluently and im learning scottish gaelic and spanish

it would be really cool and funny if you follow me

UPDATE 2

ok i struck gold, this persons learning gaelic, has the exact same problem as me which is a lack of people to speak to, AND likes some of the same bands i like?????

i declare my side quest over!

UPDATE:

the gaelic gods i contacted replied to me and i got some advice but i have to go outside for it

anyway after building up confidence for the whole day i went with option 4 and just sent a long awkward message to someone i dont know at all, i am now awaiting a response, wish me luck because i am terrified

i have to SPEAK to people to MAKE FRIENDS?!?!?

day 2 update

so far nothing has really happened but i have four methods i can use to get information and/or find somebody

1. message a gaelic learning organization and ask for advice (already done)

2. someone in my school knows somebody who goes to a gaelic school, i could get in contact with that person from my school and ask to get in contact with the person from the gaelic school

3. i go to a gaelic conversation group, however everyone there is a lot older than me, i could ask them about it or if they know anyone my age (the gaelic group is closed for the summer though so i cant do this one at the moment)

4. (my gf suggested this one) look through the followers of gaelic related accounts, follow someone from there, try and become friends (i could NOT do this one)

i officially declare this as a new zlf side quest!! wish me luck finding this person!!

last night i was sitting on the edge of my bed and imagining what life would be like if i had friends who spoke gaelic

i need to go on a side quest to find someone my age who speaks gaelic

ZLF APPROVED SONGS EPISODE #2

my three favourite songs right now

1. Camouflage - I Can’t Feel You - https://youtu.be/NZpk8aDc0YI

2. Duran Duran - Hallucinating Elvis - https://youtu.be/bTGrisx2E1c

3. Camouflage - Suspicious Love - https://youtu.be/nZiS5MctvlE

camouflage is a really cool band they’re like a german depeche mode i highly recommend

i have an urge to make a map of a forest near where i live and add countries and shit and write lore for it so i can pretend i started a micronation which is something i’ve wanted to do since i was 11 (but i have nobody to do it with )

like come on who wouldnt want to go to the forest with me and build a silly little village and make it a country???

new owen dropped he also has a gf now

yeah gonna do it today, old owen is getting killed and a brand new owen will be created

ZLF APPROVED SONGS EPISODE #1

my THREE favourite songs rn, with a yt link to them (as thats most accessible for people here)

might also make this a weekly thing

1. Duran Duran - UMF - https://youtu.be/V58SSyHUNtI

2. Hipsway - Handfuls of Dust - https://youtu.be/KCTtPYsLh-Q

3. Duran Duran - Vertigo (Do The Demolition) - https://youtu.be/PE47_NHoEHI

fun fact: my friend who introduced me to my long distance gf is also in a long distance relationship

ok maybe i should destroy the new owen

however this does not mean the old owen is returning, it is owenathletic tradition to occasionally replace him, this has happened before in the past and i didnt expect this owen to be absolutely insane

i will create a brand new owen with a brand new personality and i’ll make him chill and not insane, if i get a lot of support i’ll do it tomorrow

new owen is wilding

over the course of this month i’ve cut sweets, chocolate, and most processed foods from my diet, i’ve been going for walks more often, and today i finally decided to exercise

i’ve already lost a lot of weight and became slimmer over the month, particularly with my face

i feel really good about things right now :)
