twitter is usually such a cesspool but the fact such kind people still exist on there makes me so happy i love them so much 😭😭
 
First off, I want to say Happy New Year to everyone! I wasn't able to make a post yesterday due to being late in the evening. Anyway, quite a lot of things made me happy today!
  • Obviously celebrating the New Year, I had New Horizons and New Leaf on at the same time for the countdown. Apparently, both games were ahead by a few seconds compared to the countdown over at New York lol. My sister was also playing the game and so we were able to capture the moment together. We lit up some sparklers to ring in the new year and ate some food with my mom!
  • In the morning, me and my family started opening our presents. First, I got $70. Second, I got Metroid Dread! I played a demo of this game a few months back and it got me interested. I didn't start playing it yet because my next point will make sense why. Considering my track record, you'll already know what it will be haha.
  • The next present I got was Gran Turismo Sport! I didn't expect to get this game at all, especially since I don't have a PS4 to begin with... But thanks to my dad and his convincing tricks, I initially thought he forgot and turns out he did get one! Granted, it was used, but it works just fine. My dad also wrote "Uber Driver" on my gift since I was constantly driving to the grocery store to get stuff and retrieving food from other places, so it fits well considering the game I got lol. I'm extremely late to the party since the game and console were released in 2017 and 2013 respectively! Anyway, I set everything up, including the updates that took hours to download. I've watched numerous videos of GT Sport before, but there's something about it feeling much more magical when experiencing it for yourself. It looks absolutely beautiful and it boggles my mind how the devs were able to model the cars in such very high quality. Since I had to get used to the PS4 controller, I immediately yeeted a Mazda Miata MX-5 (ND) into a wall after just one corner lol. I want to enjoy it as much as I can with one game at a time, especially with Gran Turismo 7 releasing in a few months from now. Oh, and there's also a livery editor where you can create your own designs on a car. I've made a pretty basic one with my username on it for starters since I'm still learning how to use the editor itself. And no, while the photo looks very real, it's just a game.

  • Since it was New Year's Day, I wanted to take the opportunity to go on a car stroll with my sister and mother since the roads were very open at the time. It's made even better when I played New Year's Day music from New Horizons (yes I actually did that) and Japanese jazz fusion in the car. It lasted for almost two hours, and I'm glad to just simply relax driving on the road.
  • I bought the Happy Home Paradise DLC for my sister! I made the purchase when it was very early in the morning so it would be a surprise for her when she opened up the game. She ended up playing it for a few hours and enjoyed it a lot! I should definitely try it out whenever I have the time. :)
  • I played New Horizons to see the sunrise and sunset that only happens once in a year where you actually see the sun itself! It looks so pretty and gave off some positive vibes. I really liked the music that played the whole day. It's almost as if it was telling us that we survived another crazy year and that we should take it easy on the first day of 2022.
  • Aside from Tucker's Toasty Trivia, all of my submissions for the TBT Holiday Market event have been accepted! Speaking of which, I had a relaxing time colouring in the template for Cally's Cozy Colours, even though I was running tight on time. Brings back memories as a kid when I did the same thing in colouring pages at school. I enjoyed the event the staff organized for all of us to participate in and I want to give them a huge thank you once again. :)
Why do I always type so many things on a single post in this thread? 😅

The results for this event went out about an hour ago. You can see how many Silver Bells you earned by checking your submission thread. :)

Thanks for the heads up, Chris! I'm in a team with a few other people and that I wasn't the one who submitted the answers, so I already went ahead and asked my team member who did hand them in. :)
 
⬥ I'm on my second to last day of winter break and I was able to accomplish a lot of the things that I wanted to. Trying to set my plans in advance for what to do each day instead of just thinking I'll do it eventually really helped
⬥ Speaking of which, I went to the local "super sento" (public bath/spa but also has things like hot rock beds for relaxation, manga to read, free space, etc) and actually ran into a friend and his gf! They were there to work/study but we got to hang out a bit and I helped him with his resume. I felt bad before because I said I was going to look at his resume for a few weeks and kept saying I'd do it the next day but by the time I got around to it he said it was already kind of late... I explained about my mental health during that time and I think he understood but I'm glad I was able to see him in person, take care of it, and patch things up
⬥ I sent a package to my parents and they sent one to me for Christmas. Despite us living on different continents they both arrived surprisingly fast.
 
Another ACNH player sent me a in-game Happy New Year postcard. It’s the first time another player has ever sent me a postcard and they were also the second person to wish me all the best for 2022. The sentiment made me smile considering I don’t them personally.
 
Laughing right now at this comment. xD Because it is so true

"95% of Switch players: Hmm Persona, eh not too interested to play it. Plus idk much about it.

95% of Switch players when Joker is revealed in smash: OMG what the heck Atlus give us the game already, l always wanted to play Persona!!"

And happy that we got a lot of snow!
 
  • I managed to walk to the store again without having having a panic attack! I think the more I do it the easier it will get
  • My kitty greeted me when I got back from the store, I can tell she misses me when I'm gone, she's so sweet, right now she's laying on my lap while I watch shows on Netflix and amazon ❤ 🥰
  • I got the 2nd gym badge in Pokémon Shining Pearl, I was really close to losing the battle with Eterna City's gym leader but I made it through the first try, it was a long battle. I don't have any fire type Pokémon yet, I chose piplup as my starter, and the gym is grass type so it was pretty difficult.
  • I had some Ben and Jerry's Brownie Batter Core ice cream today and it was soooooo good!
  • I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow that I'm kind of dreading but I have some ice cream to enjoy afterwards to celebrate getting through it and my anxiety
  • Oh yeah, and I ordered Super Lucky's Tale for Xbox One, it looks like a fun game!

Went to an antique show today and went straight to one of my favourite stands, one that sells handmade soaps. They smell nice and have made my skin softer and my face a little less oily (which is a feat all in itself considering my acne is stubborn AF) so I bought some more. Also at that same stand they sell Haori jackets and some antique dishes. Today I FINALLY bought a Haori jacket! I've always wanted one but they're always expensive, with good reason as they are silk and handmade but I never had the money to buy one at the time. Well today I splurged but do not regret it. I love the colours and how its almost like a sunset, the coral fading into a pale-ish yellow colour.

Also bought more silver rings at the show, my collection of silver rings grows. I prob have 2 dozen at this point.

Afterwards we (family) went out to a restruant to eat dinner. My dinner and drinks were tasty, esp since I don't like alot of drinks, I only do it at social events minimally and for taste. Dinner was a salmon roll with kami, cream cheese and was fried so it had a crunchy outside. Pretty good.
 
So, I made a taco cheeseball yesterday for an event today and it went over really well... beyond the fact that it kept its form and looked great, a guest was really really happy with it and took half of it home. I mean, I love taco cheeseball but for some reason not alot of people in my area likes spicy stuff. I don't make it super spicy but still. It seems to be one of those things you love or don't like at all. I am just happy that I am not stuck with the whole thing.

Nice cheeseballs are great! I made one myself and smeared it on a ton of crackers New Years Eve while watching a movie. Was a nice way to kick it off to me.
 
Today I'm happy because I finally got my Snow Bunny! I love it so much! I managed to get the main two collectibles I wanted from this event, the Snowflake Wand and the Snow Bunny, without spending any of my own event currency. So now I'm just waiting for the final bells to be distributed and I'll figure out how to spend them.

I'm also happy that I don't have to work tomorrow.
 
☾ I finished all the triangle dates in Code: Realize ~Wintertide Miracles~, and I'm glad I saved the one with my two faves for last! Now all I've got left to do are the Special Epilogues, which I may be feeling a little mixed about starting because I don't want it to be over. ;v;
☾ Got a bit anxious over some stuff, but I watched the latest episode of GeminiTay's Minecraft 1.18 playthrough with my parents, and it made me feel a lot better! We've also started her Empires SMP series recently, and I've been enjoying that too.
☾ Finished rewatching Ore Monogatari!!/My Love Story!! with my mom! It's really such a sweet little series. 😄
 
my teeth have been hurting me on and off for most of the day, but other than that, i had a pretty decent day today! ☺️

• got 3x nook points.
• began wishing tbt members a happy birthday again! i’ve been doing that almost every day for ages now, but haven’t been doing it recently due to how bad my mental state and energy levels have been. however, i started doing it again today and i’m really happy about that. ^_^
• tidied up my room a bit.
• alize (my black & white kitten) meowed at me, and we also cuddled briefly a few times throughout the day. <3

• changed my avatar, signature and lineup! i think everything looks okay, and i of course had to include a black kitty in honour of my late cat. :’)
 
⬥ My favorite hockey team is playing decent hockey, for them, anyway. I love that hockey is currently happening, too. I basically watch other sports to pass time until hockey season.
⬥ I talked to Keagan on the phone! I heard him woof and jumping around. He tried showing me his lambchop but I couldn’t quite see it through the phone. I am going to visit him on Tuesday, since that is my day off.
⬥ I worked a little more hours this week so my paycheck should be good. I am also happy that my job isn’t stressful and is easy.
⬥ I played my video game for a few hours tonight after work. I’m improving at it and having fun with it, as well.
⬥ I’m happy that it is 2022 now and it’s a brand new year. I’m looking forward to what this year brings for me.
