- I finally broke my art block and did a fun project!! I'm super pleased with how it turned out.
-I ordered a Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun poster for my room, and that won't be arriving for a while but I'm really excited to put it next to the MHA poster and records I own on the wall.
-Got to spend time with my family today.
-Finished my math homework
Found out my used copy of The Man on the Balcony was actually signed by Maj Sjöwall!(one of the authors). Idk who that Peter is who got the dedication and I didn't look when I bought it (mostly cause I was just happy to find an used copy of it!) so that was a cool surprise indeed!
I had a fun time playing MK8D with Mairmalade and other users around here. I was giggling throughout the entire session while watching the madness unfold, with me being involved in some of them. I think I saw like three or four people run into the blue shell explosion lol.
Feel free to skip this point. Me and my family went out to complete a couple of things, but my sister wanted to go on a car stroll. So we did and had a good time. I saw numerous cars I've previously mentioned before, but the one that wasn't was a Ferrari 458 Italia Spider!

This next point is pretty much going to talk about one thing... I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! I asked the driving examiner if my performance was bronze, silver, or gold. They said bronze and you know what, I don't care because I at least passed! I almost couldn't believe it.
Some of you might think I'm overreacting, but I waited for well over a year to book a test due to a huge backlog, especially since I took driving school back in 2019 with the pandemic being a huge contributor. Because of this, my skills were a bit rusty and had to practice parking at a parking lot with my dad leading up to this point. Not only that, but I had to wake up early since the place I had to go to was very far (and had a hard time sleeping too). Aaaand I had to go on the highway which I haven't been on at all, but I kept calm and stayed out of trouble, fortunately (gotta thank racing games for prepping me to drive at fast speeds). My driving instructor was with me the whole way through, so I wasn't on my own and accepted advice on minor mistakes I made. If you're curious what car I was driving, it was a 2017 Toyota Corolla.
I'm surprised how the driving test only lasted for roughly 10 minutes. I had to do uphill parking, three-point-turn, parallel parking (which was a pain, but thankfully did just fine!), checking mirrors and blind spots, being observant in general, and following the laws of the road. I was coming up at this intersection as the lights were about to change, but I thought better and stopped instead as opposed to just going through and risk failing the test. Even the driving examiner told me what to do and not to do at the stoplights which I will gladly accept the advice. After I passed the test, I was told to pick up my temporary physical driver's licence, fist-bumped my driving instructor after telling them the good news, and then headed home all while it was sunny.
Even though I passed the test, there's still a lot of room for improvement which I will gladly do to be a much better driver. And no, I didn't see any cars worth mentioning since I was too busy focusing on the road. Now that I can drive on my own, I am SO going to play a huge playlist of video game music and confuse my family as a result lol. You bet your bells I'm going to play Drivin' on the empty streets. I also can't believe I got my licence before Spongebob even did, if he ever will that is.
I had the yummiest piece of chocolate cake at work this morning that I think has set my mood for the rest of the week and this tweet had me giggling as I can't not imagine this on ACNH from now on.
Just got a gift card in the mail for doing a survey that I did not know was that kind of survey; I thought it was just paperwork for a doctor’s appointment or something. I might be able to get a game or something else I want with it .
I’m almost done with the drawing for Draw the User above you (sorry Shellzilla for how long it is taking; background ended up being a bit of a project). Just got some more of the background to finish and the ground to do; not sure how much longer that will take for me to do. I’m happy with how the background turned out; I experimented quite a bit .
Been having fun playing my gacha game .
I was worried about some repost I made since I didn’t want to annoy anyone and just wanted to show appreciation about something. I think it ended up okay though so I am happy about that .
Still a bit down and unhappy about a handful of things but feel like things have been overall getting better at least mood wise.
finally got some rearranging done in my room and my little table/chair/tv area is more cozy now, and my VHS tapes are more accessible. I also have more space to put game consoles to hook up to this tv.
also finally got the spreadsheet done for the orchestra I'm interning for, I had to put in about 80-90 names, their availability for 6 different concerts, and their vaccination status. many people still haven't replied so I'll have to keep it updated as more responses come in. I'm just glad to have it pretty much done, such a daunting task.
also also jadetine finished the stamp of Leopold I requested and I love it so much! I'm gonna put it in my signature with her other drawing she made for me :3
There are a few things that I'm happy about today:
- My back is feeling significantly better today. Although I'm still in some pain, I can actually stand and sit and walk today which is a huge improvement from yesterday.
- I finally did some journaling last night, which was another of my counselor's recommendations. I was in such a bad mood and I do think it helped calm me down some before bed.
- Work wasn't quite as bad as I expected it to be today. We found what could have been a major issue at 4pm on Friday, so I was dreading what Monday would be like, but it turns out there was a simple explanation and everything was fixed quickly.
i haven’t posted in here in a few days and to be honest, i feel kind of gross and wrong about posting now after everything that happened today. however, despite how awful the past few days have been, and how uncertain my future is, i have to try and focus on the positives, because i think that’s what my grandmother would want me to do. she could be an incredibly cruel woman at times, but she was also incredibly strong; no matter how much pain she was in or what hardships she went through, she always kept moving forward and did all that needed to be done. that’s what i want to do, too. i may not be able to make her proud in the ways she wanted, but i can at least try and make her proud by moving forward and taking care of myself, and focusing on the good instead of the bad is what i need to do rn.
friday (09/17) ❁ received fauna’s photo in acnh!! ❁ tried voortman bakery’s strawberries & creme crispi bites for the first time, and they’re delicious! i definitely need to get some more of them. ❁ my kitty meowed at me several times and took a nap in my room. <3
saturday (09/18) ❁ tidied up my room a bit. ❁ cuddled with my kitty! ^_^
sunday (09/19) ❁ completed and handed in the assignment for english class that i’ve been working on! ❁ completed my dual self-portrait for my visual arts class! it was honestly frustrating as hell to draw as i’ve never done something so complex before, but it actually turned out better than i thought. :’)
❁ cuddled with my kitty!
today (09/20) i feel so gross for including today, but a few good things actually did happen despite me losing my grandmother, which of course is odd and feels wrong to say. ❁ created some artwork that i’m honestly really proud of!! i’ve also received a few compliments on it, which made my day a bit brighter . definitely one of my favourite artworks that i’ve created thus far! ❁ read a new fanfic! i didn’t have time over the weekend to read as i was busy with school assignments, so it was nice to be able to read and take my mind off things today. ❁ cuddled with my kitty and she took a nap in my room. <3
Today I finished up a few light novels that I had begun reading a while ago and now I can read the next books in the series for them. I still have a lot of unread books to get to, but I’m slowly getting to them, so I cannot complain.
Managed to snag a copy of Xena: Warrior Princess the complete collection and cannot wait for it to arrive this week.
I also watched a few episodes of The A Team while I relaxed and level grinded in Persona Q2, so that was nice. I’ll watch more episodes tomorrow if I’m in the mood for it then.
I'm happy that the federal election is over and the Liberals retained their minority government, with a lot of that due to me being relieved that my fears of a Conservative government weren't realized. although the seats staying mostly the same makes the election almost pointless lmao
⬥ I came across this new anime about hockey, and I’m super hyped. I love hockey and it’s nice to see the sport incorporated into an anime. It was just recently brought to my attention, but I plan on watching it once it releases. ⬥ I received my direct deposit from eBay this morning. This is definitely a side hustle I can get used to. I also listed a few more items for sale, so hoping to make some sales soon. ⬥ I managed to research a bit more for my relocation, although I learned that there will be negativity when asking any questions. It is better to just keep things to yourself. That’s better than listening to the naysayers and people trying to compare their experiences to yours. Your situation not working out doesn’t mean mine won’t either. I’m planning on keeping my plans to myself and just taking things as they come. ⬥ I’m not suffering through another winter with snowfall. This is a big one for me.
Today was my first day of university! It was a stressful morning navigating the roads and finding somewhere to park but I made it & it was lovely to meet my classmates in person
- Picked up my new id card as it was finished today. I look ridiculous but my new one is running out next week, so yeah need it.
- Got my package from Japan (some old issues of an idol magazine, an autograph, and a picture-thing of Tsubasa Imai & a mini-uchiwa).
- Got to borrow a DVD box from a friend
I slept a lot and had a relaxing day after being super busy yesterday with uni and my brother coming over for dinner The Halloween event in one of my fav pet sim games started this week, and I'm hyped for it! Also, the new series of The Great British Bake Off starts tonight! I watch it every year with my mum,,
Talked my my apartment case manager and she said she put the referral through so I can start going to that self-care group on the last Fridays of each month
My partner had a job interview today and got the job! Him and his whole entire office got laid off at the beginning of last year due to covid so I'm just so happy to see things turning around for him.
Today i’ve been feeling down even though it was a special occasion but there have been quite a bit that made me happy.
I’m so happy @Shellzilla_515 liked the drawing I did; I had a lot of fun doing it and looking at some different styles like for the waves and the clouds .
My mom got me sushi, the good kind .
I got a cute picture of my cat
sorry it is upside down. i love getting pictures of her yawning
My favorite artist posted art online again; she has been having issues with the social media’s support and people hacking her account. I really hope her troubles are gone. She inspires me so much! Her new artwork even though I am not familiar with the game is so amazing! I can’t wait to see her post more .
Might post again depending on the results of a banner I might pull on tonight for my gacha game .
. definitely one of my favourite artworks that i’ve created thus far!
