What Are You Happy About Today?

The next four books of the series I’m reading came in! Hopefully this will keep me busy for a bit. :)

Along with that, my Blue Lions shirt came in! It fits well, thankfully! I can’t wait to start wearing it. :)
 
My mom has been cleaning, and she gifted me a black genuine leather mini backpack from the 90s. I'm so happy, I was looking in every thriftstore for a neat black bag to replace my old red bag that doesn't go with my clothes at all and now I finally got one while saving more money than expected. xd

I really want copic markers now (and still look into digital art eventually). An artist I follow on twitter uses them and makes such gorgeous FE3H fan art.

Copic markers are lovely, they blend so well. I gotta warn thou, they are pricey. A pack of six goes for 40-50$ I believe, and the craft stores around here don't put them on sale often. A single marker is like 8$. I always see them in a locked case or with a security tag on a pack. Store brand alchohol markers tend to be cheaper by a dollar or two, or by almost 10+ if you buy a pack. The ones I have don't blend quite as well as Copics but they are good if you want to test to see if you really want to use alchohol markers more often. Plus, store brand alchohol markers do go on sale (atleast my craft stores around here).

Also, this person doesn't make FE fanart, BUT they do use Copic markers alot for drawings. They speak Spanish but maybe looking at their art will help?

Thank you so much for the info and the link; her art is really lovely! 😲 I think now knowing the price range, I’ll wait to see how further along I get with my art skills and if I can maintain my interest; at this point I am pretty sure I’ll still want to pursue improving my art skills. I’d hate to waste markers when I’m still learning.
 
June is my favorite month of the year. I remember in one of the threads in the off-topic section, I was raving on about how much I loved June and why. Here are the following things I have been happy about this month.

- On June 4th, my dad and my brother got their first dose of the (I think it was Pfizer's) vaccine. Unfortunately, I couldn't get mine yet, since I don't have any form of an ID, but it was nice that my dad finally took us all down there (even if I can't get mine yet) and to see other people there too. Achieving herd immunity may not be an overnight process, but it is just nice seeing/hearing about people getting vaccinated. I am not sure when I will get my two doses. I texted my mom a few days ago to send us a school ID I had, since I heard the vaccine receptionists will accept those, but it might be a while, since my mom actually got COVID. ;-; (she lives eight hours away from us, so I will not get COVID from her)
But I am kinda glad I didn't get the vaccine yet, since we actually had plans the next day to do stuff (which I will be getting into in a bit), and I would prefer to get my doses when I have nothing going on the next two or three days.

- On June 5th we had a birthday celebration for me and my dad's birthday. My birthday is June 9th and my dad's is June 11th. We went to my grandparents and swim. My uncle ordered food from this delicious burger joint. And we had chocolate cake, and vanilla and bunny trails ice cream. I also got a cute wallet for my birthday which I needed a wallet to keep my important cards I have and will get more organized. My grandparents got me a $100 gift card, and I got a $100 bill from my uncle. And I took a dip in the pool for a bit. I love going over to my grandparents during the Summer. <333

- June 9th, as I mentioned above, was my birthday. I turned 23. I had a pretty good birthday this year. I mostly celebrated it with my friends, since we had the party four days prior. I got some cute pictures from my friends. Including this from my friend Ethan (he is the one wearing the blue and green) and this portrait of me from my friend Ash. We got Whataburger for dinner, and got a $500 gift card. My dad put in $300, and I put in $200 that my uncle had given me, as my uncle usually gives them for Christmas and my birthday. I already have some ideas of what I want to buy: I plan on putting some of it on my Apple ID, I plan on buying Miitopia, and if I can gather the courage, maybe look to commission a few people to draw me and my fictional other.

- From June 11th (Friday afternoon) until Monday at about noon, I have been/will be having the house to myself. I like it, because it's nice and quiet and I don't have to worry about bothering my dad and my brother or getting in their way when I want to go into the kitchen to fix something to eat, and vice-versa. I especially love it at evening and night. Usually my brother treats his room like a FRAT house, blasts music, and yells to his friends over his XBOX (this can happen any time of day, but it's usually at night), so it's nice to get a break from hearing all that.

June is also Pride Month. For me, my sexuality is a bit complicated...I am aromantic and asexual towards real people, but I do experience attraction towards male and female fictional characters. I don't know if this means I am asexual or bisexual...a lot of people claim that fictosexuality is invalid and mocks the LGBT community, while I don't believe these things, I try to not use the label as loosely, because I don't want to stir things up. It is said that being attracted exclusively to fictional characters falls on the aro-ace spectrum, therefore people like me are closer to considered being aro-ace over all orientations. My fictional other is of opposite gender, but since I do experience attraction to female characters too, and I am a firm believer in equality and world peace, things like Pride Month do mean a lot to me.
 
So when I came back to TBT in 2018, I quickly befriended @MapleSilver , and we talked about Xenoblade Chronicles a lot (the first one) because I still hadn’t beat it at the time. We made a lot of jokes and had good times while I was playing it, and then that Christmas I finally beat it. Fast forward several years and I finally purchased Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Switch! I have another offline friend that has played it before and praises it, and from everything I’ve heard about it I’m literally so excited that I’m about to play it for the first time. I may be centuries late, but better late than never! :D
Xenoblade 2 is imo the best game on the switch, hope you enjoy it its real good

had some good food truck food today, stomach kinda hurts but it was worth it
 
i haven’t posted in here in a bit since i honestly spent most of this week unconscious lol, but some nice stuff still happened! not everything that i’m happy about happened today but i figured i’d compile it all into one post, anyway :). also i’m really sorry for spamming everyone’s notifications with likes,,, had quite a few posts to catch up on. >_<

• finally got rid of all the garbage in my room!! it’d been disgustingly piling up for months due to depression and me never having the energy to deal with it, but i’m so glad that i finally got rid of it. it’s a huge weight off my shoulders. 😅
• the last two weeks or so have been ridiculously hot, but thankfully the temperature has finally begun to lower! i’m really happy that i’m no longer a walking puddle of sweat lol.
• my teacher graded the unit 2 test that i did a couple of weeks ago and i did better on it than i thought!
• changed my avatar, user title and lineup on here and i think my profile looks a lot nicer now! :)
• won one of @Moritz ’s tbt giveaways 🥳. tysm again!! <3
 
First night in months that I had to go to toilet less than 5 times and could actually sleep from 2 AM to 7 AM without the pee breaks.
Feels good! Also finally bought some clothes that are suited for pregnant women.. at 6 month, woops. Better late than never, I guess.. 😅
 
Today is my Bunnies birthday, I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since he came to live with us. I also can’t believe that at one year old he’s not even 3 pounds he’s so small. Words cannot express how much he means to me, he’s given me so much comfort and joy this past year. He’s always been such a chill and loving boy, even when I pick him up which bunnies usually don’t tolerate he always gives me licks and snuggles into my neck. Last week when I came home sad about something, he came out and circled me and made honking sounds which he never does unless I’m holding food and then he came and laid on my chest for awhile. I hope he has many more birthdays and continues to be a spoiled and happy little bun.
 
I just want to post and just say how touched @Roxxy has made me 🥺 and really all my friends. She’s always checking on me and just sent me something which she totally didn’t have to do 😭; I am grateful but I feel like I’m not worthy. Thanks, Roxxy 💜; I know it is hard to think positive of yourself but seriously you go above and beyond for your friends and you have a positive and warm presence here.

Also happy to see @Roxxy happy; been worried about her. :)
 
I had a relaxing day today. Spent it reading. And I'm happy because next week I have video appointments with my psychiatrist and therapist. Will be nice to see them again, since covid started they switched to phone appointments but now that they got their video appointment system set up I can see them on my laptop :)

Also, my apartment complex is having a series of adult nutrition/cooking classes starting Wednesday, can't wait!
