What Are You Happy About Today?

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I tidied up my gaming shelf today!! It was looking... pretty rough lol—I had games stacked on top of the games that were actually organized, another stack of games sitting awkwardly on top of some books on my other bookshelf, and two collector’s edition boxes that couldn’t fit. But I rearranged some things, moved my music CDs to another shelf, and I actually managed to get all my games and box sets to fit neatly onto the one shelf! Barely, but they all fit!! ;w; And I think I’ve even got room for like one or two more games too before this becomes a problem again LMAO

☾ ALSO the Diamond Clan Pokémon TCG set I got a little while ago came in clutch for reorganizing today, and I’m now using the card binder it came with to store my Animal Crossing Amiibo cards!! Maybe not exactly its intended function lol, but I don’t think I'd ever collect enough Pokémon TCG cards to fill it... my collection is pretty Specific asdjkdlfgdsdk

☾ My parents and I watched some Youtube together this evening, and we got to see one of SmallishBeans’ recent Hermitcraft episodes! We’ve been trying so hard to keep up with Wild Life, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Hermitcraft! ^^

☾ I asked for a Victoria sponge cake for my birthday party this year, but my mom’s never made one, so she baked a tiny one tonight as a test?? So I got extra cake early??? it was super good and it's probably a top contender for my favorite cake now, so I’m v excited for the bigger one tomorrow LOL

☾ I had a lot of fun playing in the Among Us session tonight, and FROGGY HAT GET!!! I literally just talked about froggy hats in Among Us in one of my time capsule letters; I cannot believe it happened so soon after lmao honestly both the new cosmicubes are extremely hype!! I was also able to get the cyclops doggy to put on my head!!

Oh my gosh another great day aaaaaa!

• I didn't have to work since I have the day off!
• Played a bit of Gran Turismo 7 and am still continuing to enjoy driving the 1955 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R.
• I finally got around to making blueberry pie with my mother! It was pretty slow for me getting through since it was my first time trying, but the outcome was great! We put in so many blueberries.

Spoiler: My mother couldn't wait lol

• I also cooked some yummy food for dinner!
• Played in a session of Among Us alongside @/Yoshi155, @/VillageDweller, @/BetsySundrop (and her sibling known as 'birdie' in-game), @/Xara, and @/.: Meri :. which was organized by @/Dunquixote! I've definitely had some laughs here and there, especially when the votes were tied twice against the same people in the same round.

Spoiler: I genuinely laughed so hard at this

These two screenshots look very similar. The difference is where the fifth vote went to. The two imposters in this round were BetsySundrop and VillageDweller! Crewmates somehow still ended up winning, though haha.

Spoiler: Funny moments in chat

• I started doodling a drawing idea for Secret Santa! It's very rough, but I wanna make sure it's the best it can be.

It was really cold today, but I didn't have to go outside at all. I stayed nice and cozy indoors with my blanket and some hot chocolate.

We started cleaning off the coffee table and made it through a chunk of stuff that has been piling up. It already looks so much better and we haven't even finished yet.

Right now I'm sitting on the couch with my dog snuggled up at my side.

Today was pretty nice:

- okay, first, the reason I even made this post was because on Wednesday I did a math summative, so it counts for a lot of your grade. Today my math teacher was grading them in class, and he told me that I got everything right EXCEPT for one question, and even then, that was just because the number was supposed to be turned into a fraction and I didn’t read that part and kept it as a decimal, so I still got most of the points for the question. I’m so happy because I kept doubting what I was writing when doing that test but it turns out I did basically perfectly
- also, GPAs came out a week ago and I was shocked to see mine was a 3.95. I usually get at least a 3.5 but it’s rare to get so close to honors with distinction, which is a 4.0 GPA. I’m surprised I managed to cook that hard. Hopefully I can get a slightly better GPA next quarter
- I had band class lol. That’s always enough to make me happy because everything about the class is amazing. Genuinely my favorite hour of almost any school day
- I feel way better than I did at the start of the week and end of last week in general. Most days I woke up and after a few hours just wanted to go to sleep for a few weeks (or just forever, that also sounded good to me then) and not have to deal with or think about anything, so I’m glad I don’t feel that terrible anymore
- this was yesterday but I finished this chapter’s first science notes. Like I explained in my last post here they’re really really time consuming and annoying and I’m glad I don’t have to do any more for at least a week. Just thinking about it makes my hand cramp because they’re AWFUL
- I also had physical therapy today but it might be the last day I have to do it. We’re going to go to the doctor on Tuesday to see if I need to continue doing it. I hope that I don’t have to because even though I actually really like going there, sometimes it makes it hard for me to do homework like the aforementioned science notes
- next week is Thanksgiving, so we don’t have school starting on Thursday, and Wednesday is a half day. I’m just excited to not have school. Also my sister came back from college so pretty much all of us are on break
- I played Among Us with some friends on this site and it was fun like always. I don’t play the game as much anymore because like with any online game, whenever I play with randoms there’s a high chance of the other players being stupid or just actual psychopaths. Whenever I play with people on this site it’s actually fun, especially that round when possum lady @/Xara and I were imposters and we just… didn’t do anything. At all. Literally no one died and everyone won by just doing tasks. Definitely the Among Us game of all time lmao
- relating to the above point, I also started a new Cosmicube and it looks so cute! Idk if I’ll use any of the stuff besides to flex but I have it now
- You can skip the next two points: I still have a little bit more to do, but I’m very close to fully 100%ing Sonic Advance 2 sorry I needed my mandatory Sonic related point. Normally I would expect a game to be hard to 100%, but I still do it anyway because I’m clinically insane aka a completionist, but here it wasn’t really even hard. It just wasn’t fun. I’m not explaining everything that makes the game painful to fully complete because I’m sure none of you care, but it’s just padded to the point of being soul draining. It’s normally a pretty fun game but trying to do this probably made this the worst Sonic game I’ve ever tried to 100%. So ready to start Sonic Advance 3 and then after that the Mega Man X games, and if I ever replay this, which is likely because like I said, it’s normally pretty fun, I’m not doing this again.
- also Sonic related, I’ve been having so much fun with Sonic/Shadow Generations. I’m almost done with Sonic Generations but I’m surprised how much content was put into Shadow Generations since it’s supposed to be a side game, especially the S ranks since they’re still mostly time based instead of score based, but in the main game they’re really easy (besides some missions, especially the doppelgänger races I have to do some of these for like 20 minutes to find the fastest path). In this they require actual skill and playing the level enough times to find the best paths, like how S ranks used to be and should be. And every stage even has a separate rank for if you play with another feature on that changes the way you play stages a lot. Both games are definitely some of my new favorite Sonic games of all time

Sorry that was so long, I didn’t intend to yap that much but I’m really tired now so idrc. I should probably go to sleep soon.

I've had a great past several weeks! I've continued to talk with that one friend of mine and we watched Spy x Family S2 for a bit. Planning on finishing the second season with them and then watching the movie together (I haven't seen the movie yet). The Dallas Stars have been on a pretty good roll, winning their last game against the San Jose Sharks 5-2. I've also been super productive at work, which is good, and I got paid today.

But perhaps what I'm MOST happy about today is the Dallas Mavericks 123-120 win against the Denver Nuggets in Denver with no Luka Doncic, extending their winning streak to four games. The fight in this team is incredible and tonight they displayed a superb level of teamwork. I was screaming and cheering them on like the coach would because I can't help it sometimes, xD. Overall a really great past couple weeks and ending to this week.

 

[Autumn247]

[bestfriendsally]

i'm slowly working on the first of many slayers amvs

the first one i'm doing is lina's song ''exit running'' (megumi hayashibara)
i have to admit, the first two clips i chose match the beginning perfectly... it's so epic : D
all lina, if i can : 3


i don't have all the episodes downloaded & cut, though... i will, though...

 

[Dunquixote]

Some more things that I’m happy about:

Yeaterday, I was able to order & preorder some of the Neko Atsume goodies. I pre-ordered both sets of the acrylic charms (I’m hoping I did it right since this is the first time I ordered something internationally through some international shipping site), a silly standee and also this! It comes with a frame too!

I had a lot of fun playing Mario Party and Among Us tonight!

 

[azurill]

Today has been a really great day. The weather has been really nice and cool. We took Aurora to the park for her morning walk. Got some laundry done this afternoon. Played ACNH on my second island. Have been decorating it and making patterns. I got my first villager photo on that island the other day from Fuchsia. Me and mom went to my Aunt’s house this afternoon to celebrate thanksgiving with her since she won’t be here on Thursday. It was nice and small only four of us . We played cards and caught up.
Aurora snuggles while I play ACNH.
Hope everyone had a great day.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ We watched several episodes of Hunter x Hunter, Haikyu, and Demon Slayer today!! And I will probably try to squeeze in some more extra episodes tomorrow because I’m really invested in what’s going on in all three! We got to see some Youtube videos too, including LDShadowLady’s new Wild Life episode!

☾ I got Story of Seasons (the 2014 one!) for my birthday, along with several Pokémon Sitting Cuties plush—Honedge, Klink, Klang, Lampent, Magnezone, Dusclops, and Golett!! I love them!!

☾ There’s leftover party food for tomorrow and still plenty of cake left!!

☾ And I had fun playing in the Among Us session tonight!! I got some more cute things from the Claws Cosmicube; currently working my way towards Space Cat!!

I slept in and got to talk more with my friend. Also played Genshin Impact for awhile and finished exploring the new area. Now I'm at 100 wishes and guaranteed in that game. The Dallas Stars also defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 in Tampa Bay. Overall another great day.

 

[LadyDestani]

I slept in even later than usual today. I'm feeling much more rested now.

I've been enjoying a new event in Endless Ocean: Luminous. I've catalogued a couple of new creatures and the scenery has been so amazing with ruins, towers, complex coral formations, and a pinkish hue to the water whenever a mysterious creature makes an appearance.

We're almost done clearing off the coffee table and started on the dining table as well. We made really good progress today.

 

[deana]

I made good progress today on some crafts I'm working on and had pizza for supper

 

[hakutaku]

- Looking on the bright side, I have 4 days off work (bc I had to take a day off due to funeral tomorrow)
- Been enjoying work a lot recently tbh, now that I'm leaving. I had a pretty nice shift last night, finished closing bang on time.
- Just had a nice, relaxed day today. Took a nap, did a little workout, had a pizza for dinner
- It's been quite mild after the horrible cold temperatures recently, which is always nice.

 

[bestfriendsally]

i've finished my amv of lina's song ''exit running'' (the slayers anime) that i was working on in lightworks

it turned out so great!!!
edit at 5:27 pm: almost finished...

if anyone wants to see it after i've subtitled it, i'll gladly upload it to my art spot thread,
if i know how & if it's allowed

 

[Mimi Cheems]

- I think I finally scored a job! One of my former coworkers is a manager at a different place. I asked her if they were hiring and she told me yes! So,, I filled out an application, they reviewed it. She asked if I could do a background check (which I thought was weird to me because I've never had one done unless if I was promoted to a higher position, or after an interview). I did the background check, and then she asked me what size shirt I wear I think it's safe to say I'll be back to work soon! Just in time for the holidays

- My sleep schedule has improved quite a bit. I never knew having a good sleep schedule would help with my overall mood, lmao.

- My boyfriend and I played some video games yesterday! We played Stardew for a bit-- and then his game crashed. He was sick and being impatient (I don't blame him), so we did a campaign on L4D2. Which was fun! I just have a hard time with those games because my attention span isn't the greatest. I kept getting attacked by the special infected zombies (Charger... -.-), which was annoying. But I still had fun! ^_^

- Speaking of my sick bf.. I decided to do a good deed and bring him some things that would help him feel better! I brought him; orange juice, 2 of his favorite Powerades (the dark blue flavor), cough drops, a vapor inhaler (like Vicks rub but it's a stick you put up your nose and inhale), daytime + nighttime cold/flu medicine, a soft wolf throw blankey, some chicken noodle soup, Disney Christmas tree gummies, Reese's Pumpkins, and uhh. Maybe more? I don't remember. I just know it was a lot, and I love being the 'extra' girlfriend so much. He was so happy and grateful! ;w;

- I got Bibibop for lunch yesterday. MAN. It was so good! If you don't know what Bibibop is, it's like a Chipotle or Hotheads, but with a Korean twist. It's soooooooooooo good! The first time I ever went was with my bf, and I'm glad he took me to experience something like that; because now it's one of my favorite places to eat at. Aside from our favorite ramen place, and then our sushi place we go to together sometimes. c:

- Practicing my driving skills more, and it's getting easier! I can't wait to get my license and drive my car hehe.

- Went to run errands with my stepmom today. I love going to the gas station to get my silly drink every weekend. I get a Dr. Pepper from the fountain machine, but add a bit of cherry and vanilla syrup. It is SO freakin' good. I have been doing better with not drinking pop/soda everyday. Instead I drink a lot of coffee.. but I've been drinking more water, so that's something, right?! :3

 

[bestfriendsally]

i've found the perfect subtitling website to subtitle the slayers - lina inverse's image song: exit running amv i made

it doesn't seem to allow me to colour code the eng lyrics... but i can make up for that when i subtitle it with the romaji lyrics after

 

[bestfriendsally]

i think i might have figured out how to use subtitlehorse again.... i might have.... since i've not used it for forever... i used to use it all the time for subtitling lyrics onto my videos i make

i'll see if i can remember, anyway tomorrow

 

[Autumn247]

• I received a very kind comment in my art thread which made my day! Recently I was getting frustrated and feeling like giving up on art. I kind of vacillate between thinking I’m horrible and sometimes thinking I’m okay and other times thinking it’s all pointless and that I’m never gonna get better. But that comment came at the perfect time and really made me feel better
• I practiced violin today. Had a great violin lesson yesterday. My violin teacher said my tempo and timing has improved a ton. I’m now learning a Celtic jig called The Harvest Home. It’s a really fun song. Has a little more complicated fingerings like triplets in it but it’s a ton of fun to play. Celtic music is so much fun to play on violin.
• I finished reading Pride and Prejudice. I’ve always wanted to read it but never had. It was really good once I got used to the dialogue style from that time period. Anyway I’m glad because I have been really struggling to focus lately so I’m happy I was able to finish a book. I have a tendency to start things and not finish.

 

[Dunquixote]

Today was okay!

I was able to put in a new order for the two items that I had to cancel from the Neko Atsume store since something about restrictions; their store only would allow me to get two items in one order and any other items had to be in a different order. I’m hoping there won’t be any more problems with my orders now.

I had a lot of fun playing Among Us today with friends .

I got enough golden carrots to buy the bakery in the bunny game app that I’m playing . I also beat my record in a mini game.

Spoiler

I’m terrible at the game lol. I found out that @Xara’s favorite bunnies are the same as mine!

I’m really excited about how my second drawing is coming a long; progress has been a bit slower on this one since I was a little overwhelmed and also my energy has been lacking for a few days now.

I got some orders at my tbt shop! I also found a wallpaper of Saharah’s that I didn’t have while I was tting to get the items that were ordered .

That’s it for now! I’m hoping to make more progress on my drawing.
