What Are You Happy About Today?

  • Did some pushups and squats for exercise.
  • Did time trial hot laps in Gran Turismo 5 today using various cars. I even managed to get an achievement for beating a real-life lap time around the Nurburgring so that was nice. If you're curious, the real-life lap time was 7:29.03 with a 2007 Nissan GT-R. With the same car, my lap time was somewhere in the 7:28 range so I barely made it. For some more context, I got this game back in 2011 and I was nowhere close to that time the last time I attempted it. 10 years later with much better car control, it only took me three tries and I made it!
  • I got some more animation practice today! I did a little more walking animation, learned the bouncing ball, and the blurred animation effect. It's just so fun and I really like this.
  • @Dunquixote fulfilled my art request featuring Queenie, who is my favourite villager! It brought a smile to my face. :)

  • After so many years of not knowing the title of the song and hearing my dad play it occasionally (never got around to asking for the name for whatever reason), I finally found it! It's called Stand By Me by Ben E. King. It boggles my mind how it was released in April in the year 1961 which means it's over 60 years old! I found it in an obscure way by listening to this Silvagunner rip as they call it and looked at the top comment where they identified the said song I just mentioned.
Did I really just post this a few minutes after midnight, which technically means all this happened yesterday? Oh well, that ain't stopping me lol.

I fixed Ruby, Avery, Jade, Krystal, series 1 Amaya leg articulation. Now they can bend their legs more. Look at the comparison with Krystal, Avery, and Bella's legs. Bella can't bend her legs that far back as Avery's and Krystal's. I still need to fix Krystal's leg a little bit more though and l still have 4 more RH doll leg articulation to fix.🙄
 
I finished my very first art request for @Shellzilla today 🙂. I was really happy about being able to do a request and that it made him happy 😊; I was a bit worried since my art is still in the beginning stages. This encourages me to keep practicing and improving.

I am drawing something for myself; I may have just come up with a design idea for a character in my potential Fire Emblem fan fic - or at least the character’s clothes. :) i am quite pleased so far with it. :)

I went to my rehab session today and it seems like I'm getting stronger. I only have two more sessions to go, which is good, because even though I'm liking the results its very difficult on my schedule to go twice a week.

I came up with an idea for a new poem today and started working on it in my head.

While I was working and looking out the back window earlier, a bunny went hopping through my backyard. 🐇
 
ending the day on a painful note literally,, being a girl sucks sometimes lol but otherwise today was fairly decent!

• the temperature today was the lowest it’s been in quite a while. my room actually even got a bit cold, since my window’s open and that made me really happy lol. i don’t like hot/humid weather. 🥵
• stumbled upon a new fanfic that i like! i don’t really read fanfic much these days but there’s definitely some good stuff out there.
• speaking of fanfic, i wrote something today for the first time since tbtwc ended. it’s just a blurb atm and isn’t much, but i’m hoping to improve and add more to it over time. :’)
• got 26/30 marks on a quiz that i took yesterday!
 
"You have completed your jury service AT THIS TIME. You are no longer required to report as previously instructed and need not check for further instructions."

I was assigned for jury duty this week and last, but I didn't get called in even once. I'm so happy. ; ; I hope I never have to experience jury duty.
 
-Saw a really beautiful dragonfly today—I don't usually see ones patterned like it around here. It was yellow-goldish one with a long black stripe down its back, and it had unpatterned wings that looked red where the light hit them. I tried to find a picture of one, but I couldn't find one that showed the reddish tint to the wings. I love dragonflies, they're so pretty. And they make me feel protected from nasty bugs.
-Went out for ice cream with my mom and aunt again! Definitely sticking with the mini size from now on, it's pretty much the perfect amount for me.
-Half of my dad's Father's Day present came in! Thankfully, it got here while he was napping, so he didn't notice a thing. He's a big fan of the Kpop group Blackpink, and recently made a joke about how if Blackpink action figures existed, he'd already own them, and... well, whaddaya know.

He's also getting the Blackpink - The Show DVD, but it probably won't arrive until early July, so I'm glad this got here in time.
 
Today was a pretty good day. While I was working a child came up to me and asked what I like about my job. I think I gave a good answer. Maybe not my best answer, but the question really caught me off guard. There are so many times in life where we just go about our daily motions and don’t ask ourselves why we are doing these things. It really just gave me a lot to think about, and, it was a cute little exchange.

I also have been playing more Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and I’m really, really enjoying it so far. I think I’ll end up loving it just as much as, if not more than, Xenoblade Chronicles. I’m also really looking forward to Kazuya from Tekken being in Smash Ultimate.

Lastly, while I didn’t get hired at this new place, it just reminded me that it is possible for me to get that far in the process of interviews and stuff. I’m a smart person, and I’m sure in time I’ll be able to find something that works for me. I was thinking about my past and I remembered this post from 2019 by myself in this thread that really reminded me who I am. :)

Recovering quickly from feeling down... that’s my magic! ^o^
 
This may be a bit silly, but earlier I commented on this one artist’s artwork and I told them how much I love their artwork and how they pair byleth and Hubert and hope to reach their level one day in drawing and they replied. 🙂 I am glad I didn’t delete it since I get scared of making artists annoyed or uncomfortable.

  • Finally submitted my last assignment for college - can’t believe I’ve gone this whole year without meeting any classmates or tutors in person. Totally surreal but I have to admit I have enjoyed being able to laze around in the morning lol. Now I can focus on preparing to move!
  • Getting my hair done today by my friend - will probably be the last time I see her for a while so I’m glad I’ll be able to chat to her for a few hours. My hair is also definitely overdue a cut and colour!
