I've been on tumblr for far too long, and I'm afraid I don't get the ramen thing, either. I get none pizza left beef and citrus, so maybe it's just a meme that passed me by?
I have my first regular doctor's appointment in a few years today. Here's hoping nothing unexpected arises. Fat, asthmatic, and aging? Sure. Hmmmmm, we need to run a few extra tests around that, not so much.
So on Tumblr, it seems the Young People don't understand posts that say something like, "We're in the the second April of covid, but next week..." and then a picture of dry ramen. For NSYNC-era Justin Timberlake, for "It's gonna be May." I can't decide if the elders are letting down the next generation, or if JT should be forgotten!
This older elder doesn't understand either.
Young JT's hair looked like dry ramen, with the bleach blond and perm and over-gelling. But I'm down with forgetting JT.
The first step is to try to feel more like a functioning human being and less like a feral world-hating curmudgeon
This is where I am at and I don't wanna, I want to embrace my not so inner at the moment feral world-hating curmudgeon!

I'm trying to be more positive and work on that too.

Does fake-it-til-you-make-it work for this? Asking for myself.
Like, imagine trying to write a job application letter, much less interview, while feeling like the world is shit and everything is useless. I'd need cocaine, I think.
I know the meme, but I can't connect how ramen equals May.

Yes and yes! (And the NSYNC song "It's Gonna Be Me" sounds like "It's gonna be May.") I am glad to confirm I shouldn't have tried this comment in any other setting!
Relatedly (?), Joss Whedon came up in my staff meeting just now, and I was like, "Historically, I was a HUGE fan of his work," but left it at that.

No, it's a nightmare. This is part of why I've often had trouble getting a new job because it's usually when I'm a little depressed, feel like I hate my job and I'm no good at it.... so I'm going to sell myself on something else? Yeah, no.
