It was One Direction's 10th anniversary today! Although the fans didn't get some aspects of the reunion they were hoping for (like unreleased music or an interview with either OT4 or OT5), and although some of the planned events were a bit... lacklustre, I loved being able to celebrate one of my biggest interests with lots of other like-minded fans all over the world.
It felt like old times again, clowning over 1D, laughing out loud at memes, and constantly refreshing your social media because you're terrified of missing something important. Here's to another 10 years!
Also, maybe I'm clowning again, but I think that some things that happened today are very interesting in terms of potential future updates with the band. I'll list it in the spoiler below in case you might be interested in reading why I'm so excited. It's very fandom-related, but I really want to get it out there!Please indulge me I've been clowning all day

Firstly, Louis choosing this day, of all days to follow Harry and Zayn on Instagram, when he never has before. We know that he left Syco (his label) the day after the 10th anniversary of his first X Factor audition. Could this indicate something significant in terms of his contract/situation changing?
Also, we know the anniversary events was planned by Simon Jones PR (1D's old PR team) but fans have also been displeased at their how do we say... lack of quality PR in the past. The fact that each member minus Zayn sent out one (or multiple) thank you tweets but did not acknowledge Simon Jones PR or any of the planned events is very interesting. Given the release of more remastered videos over the next week, plus the significance of 10 years of 1D just passing (which some fans speculate to be the end of some binding contracts the band may be under), is it possible that the band has organized something of their own to be released after the anniversary? We know the band does not care for Simon Cowell/Syco so it is absolutely possible they put in the bare minimum of promoting the 1DHQ materials so that wouldn't make money.
And we can't forget the whole Reason Being thing. Basically, if you weren't on Twitter/Tumblr today, fans found the phrase "Reason Being" listed on their anniversary website when the site had crashed, as well as in one of the artists on their remastered music video for What Makes You Beautiful on Apple Music (it was listed as One Direction & Reason Being). I have no idea what this all means. Totally possible Reason Being was just a placeholder to throw fans off the scent of the website or something before its release, and that it not being taken down points to the incompetence we know 1DHQ has... but what if it's something else? Rebrand for the band? Name of the documentary that was supposedly supposed to come out during the reunion?
The rumoured Infinity music video? Is it going to drop anytime soon? Maybe as a surprise after 1D week events?
Finally, Liam has said (multiple times I think) that him talking about the anniversary plans that 1D were making got him threats from Louis (that Louis would egg his house). Why would Louis threaten to egg his house over a website and a few remastered music videos? Just hyperbole? Or was/is something else planned that they know is huge?

I'm getting my money back (except for the actual fee) from customs since they valued my package wayyyy too high when I picked it up even though it might take a while 
Also seeing my co-worker's reaction when I gave her my Arashi cutout thing I got with a magazine.. I know she likes the group more than I do so it was nice seeing her happy

WENT ON THE HIGHWAY WOOOOO
Practiced driving on the highway by going off and on it a few times, and I think I did pretty well! I stayed pretty calm and also practiced making some lane changes

I lost my progress from the Legend of Zelda for the NES and I was very close to finishing the game... Fortunately, it only took me a few hours to bring back all of those gains and managed to finish the game in one sitting!
Oh, and I finally finished my art. I’m really happy on how it turned out!

Not much I've been happy about today, so, I'll do yesterday first, then today!
Yesterday | 7/25/2020
- I woke up pretty early for once, well... it's because I had to. I was going to a friend's to celebrate his birthday!
- I spent eight whole hours over at his apartment. I stayed up until like 3:30 am the night before designing his birthday card and he really enjoyed it!
- We also watched some funny videos and an episode or two of an anime he was watching before I visited~
- I got to cuddle with him LOL It was pretty fun, except we kept play-fighting, and I bruise so easily... I've got a couple bruises from him pinching me or hitting me ahah~
- ^ All in all, was a pretty epic day! Talked to a few friends once I got home (Ashley, Sarah, and Kenny), and overall had an amazingggg time with Jose (birthday boi)! :3
Today | 7/26/2020
- I have snacks. Doritos. I'm happy about that.

Yankee candle had an awesome sale (they always do around this time of year for scented candle lovers) so I got a big candle for a pretty good price!
My wife and I live in a very toxic environment with her mother. She's very mean and cruel, despite begging us to move back in because of her deteriorating health. My sister-in-law has the basement set up as a sort of mini apartment for herself but is leaving to go to College and offered it to my wife and I to live in. We'd just have to move ourselves from our bedroom to down there.
There's so many positive things to this. ( We're dreading packing our stuff up and dragging it downstairs bc some things are super heavy but a small price. )
There's a couch down there and so much room for shelves, we won't feel cluttered like we do in our bedroom, we plan on getting a nice portable burner, toaster oven and microwave that way we won't have my mother-in-law constantly in our business when we're cooking.
Plus we decided today that we're going to get another kitten to celebrate.
It's just going to be so nice to have our own apartment-like space with privacy and not have someone consistently being mean and demanding things all the time. Having some space, even if it's just a floor between us is going to be so much better.
I keep looking at shelter kittens and my excitement is beyond measure. Sister-in-law is moving at the beginning of the month and after that, we're moving on down. <33

I'm extremely happy today, because after a long grueling day of work and feeling a bit down in the dumps honestly, I came back to see that I finally found a potion seller who sold me the strongest of all potions :') Today is truly a glorious day for knights to rejoice around the world.
