Half Baked Spud

@halfbakedspuds

| He/Him (but I don't mind other pronouns) | I'm a writer focussing on mostly YA fiction (Scifi, fantasy, some HFY from time to time), and I'm using Tumblr as a place to practice and promote my hobby. For now I'm PanAce but watch this space. Tag friendly

Alright, I see other writing blogs doing this, so here's my writeblr intro. Still needs some work but this'll do for now.

Hi! I'm Logan (Yes, like Wolverine), I'm 19 years old, use He/him pronouns, and I'm from South Africa. My main interests are writing, philosophy, history, binge-reading entire series' at a time and any kind of experimental artistic media. All my characters' sexualities and gender identities are up for interpretation unless explicitly stated.

Despite being an English language writer, English is not actually my first language and thus I do still have my fair share of idiot moments in it. If you notice that I used a word wrong, or if my grammar or a phrase seems little bit off, don't hesitate to let me know.

Below are my current WIP's:

go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish

I can swim but not that well, and even on the off-chance that I can make it to shore I need to deal with Spinnekopland™

(Also I haven't had a chance to teach myself how to do image IDs yet, but it's a map with a pin quite a ways south-east of Tasmania)

I love working with esolangs because I don't know what's going on, I'm fairly certain that my laptop doesn't know what's going on either, however somehow something is making this code work.

Conversely, it spent about half of today not working and I had no idea if the language was just that cursed or if I was just that stupid. I still kinda don't but I'm thinking it may have been the latter

Mark the electrician has been here for five minutes and he’s already said “well that’s…weird” twice from the other room and frankly I’m afraid to ask.

It’s not good when skilled tradesman are standing in the middle of your room pinching the bridge if their nose, is it?

Mark just referred to the wiring in our bedroom as “creative” and “interesting”.

This is fine.

And now he’s taking apart the ceiling. I’m not worried, are any of you worried? I’m not, haha, it’s not like this house was previously owned by someone who would do something stupid like try to wire their house themselves…or store tins of varnish under the furnace behind a secret alcove…

Ha ha…

Ha.

Hm.

Fuck.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE’S NO NEUTRAL WIRES??!?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S GROUNDED INTO THE SCREWS HOLDING UP THE CEILING LIGHT???!?!!

It's WHAT?!

Well, first assessment for my Network Security class is today, wish me luck.

You know that was actually nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.

That, or I seriously overprepped

So it turns out that I am a massive idiot. I mean that's no surprise but we're hitting levels of condensed dumbass previously thought to only exist at the heart of neutron stars with this one.

Turns out, after not working out for over a year ('cause fucking matric actually went and ate a year of my life) the best course of action is - in fact - not to assume you're still capable of working with the same weight you last used.

I may or may not have learned this the hard way and may or may not have been paying the price since Monday...

My first thought

I walk like that almost all of the time! I can't believe my amazing tumblr popularity and charisma has transformed me into an influencer with transcontinental influencing powers 😯😂

(fr - hope it sorts itself out soon, but also i love your neutron star line so much in the first paragraph)

Mate, it would appear that you're a bad influence, lmao (just kidding)

It's a bit better today. I can at least straighten my arms out now (although it hurts like something unmentionable to do so) which is quite the improvement from yesterday.

I see this THE MOMENT I put on the song I had in my head.

Steady, Steady by The Crane Wives but this morning I was also singing Hoods Turned Heroes

For me it’s “there’s a Macdonald in the pantagon” that’s on tiktok right now…. help it’s been in my head on and off as well as wedding, funerals by Waitress

I'm about to get laughed at for this one, but for me it's "Mphe Di Hoenor" by Robbie Wessels. It's just... it has a way of both getting stuck in your head and making you hungry at the same time.

Hayibo, now I want chicken.

No pressure for @noagskryf (As jy nie wil hê dat ek jou in goed moet tag nie moet jy maar net laat weet) @oh-no-another-idea and anybody else who wants in

I got refered to as Uncle* earlier today by a guy who's definitely old enough that I should be referring to him as such.

Cue me standing there for like two minutes trying to figure out how the hell I'm meant to address him now.

*our less formal honorific for men is the same as our word for uncle, and usually contains the connotation of the person being at least ten or fifteen years older than you to warrant it

Was dit 'n geval van hy het jou oom genoem ("hey oom Logan") of het hy net na jou toe verwys as "die oom wat daar staan" ?

Die 2de het al met my gebeur (toes ek 14 was😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫) maar nie die eerste nie

Hy het gekom om die honde te skeer (glo my, dit was nodig om hulp te kry daarvoor) en terwyl ek met hom gestaan en gesels het het hy gevra: "Bly oom-hulle al lank hier?".

Ek weet nie of my baard my net ouer laat lyk nie, maar dit en mense wat my as "Mister" aanspreek is iets waaraan ek nog gewoond moet raak.

WOAH, eish, dis erg.

In Engleland ek is al ge "sir" en "miss" (afhangende van hoe ek aan trek daai dag) van dat ek 10 is, maar dis so normal dat ek nie om gee nie. As ek by die winkel is dan die cashier sal sê "your total is £5 sir, cash or card?" as 'n voorbeeld maar ook by die skol as jy in die moeilikheid is, op die bus, orals.

Dis beter as die tannies wat jou "love" of "honey" of "sweetie" noem. Ek het nooit dit verstaan nie. Jy ken my nie. Hoekom is ek jou love?

Ja nee as ek ooit Engeland toe trek gaan dit my seker nogal 'n ruk vat om aan gewoond te raak. Die enigste wat ek kan dink dat ek al so formeel aangespreek was by die skool was deur my ou graad 8 Engels onderwyser, maar die meeste van my onderwysers en onderwyseresse (is daar 'n neutrale vorm in Afrikaans?) het meestal my maar net by my van geroep sonder enigiets bygesit.
