[LadyDestani]

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept pretty well last night and got to sleep in this morning.
- I had a sweet dream about cuddling with bears last night.
- I didn't have to work today.
- I had a nice day at home with my husband and my dog.
- The temperature was over 60F today. If only it hadn't been so windy.

 

[Xara]

my day was surprisingly eventful towards the end (my apartment building had to be evacuated ‘cause of a fire, but it thankfully wasn’t too serious and everything is okay now), but it was a pretty good day overall.

• went to all 3 of my classes and completed an assignment for one of them. my first full week of school went well, and is ending on a great note as i have no homework this weekend!
• speaking of the weekend... it’s finally here! i’m looking forward to taking it easy for the next two days.
• tidied up my room and took my garbage down to the chute (finally).
• did some self-care.
• discovered a couple new favourite edits.
• cuddled with my kitten. she had an appointment at the vet’s today, so i made sure to give her lots of extra love and attention when she got home. she handled it like a champ, though, and has been doing well all day. <3
• read 3 new fanfics written by one of my favourite fanfic writers, 2 of which were based on requests i submitted to them weeks ago! i honestly was not expecting them to do my requests at all, but it made my entire day! they brought my requests to life so beautifully.
• watched a few tiktoks that made me laugh.

 

[Midoriya]

- Had a good day at work.
- Got paid today.
- Finished the last of the most recent events in Genshin Impact.
- The Dallas Stars beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in overtime.

It's another after midnight post and I'll just mix the things together that made me happy in the last couple of days (will be put in a spoiler):

Spoiler

• I played GT Sport and went to the livery editor to complete another design. Heard some good music in the process too. The design is nothing special. In fact, it's pretty much the same just as the one seen in one of my previous posts on this thread. The only difference is that it's on a different car.
• I got to drive somewhere and it just made me happy.
• Ate some frosty from Wendy's. It's been a long time since I had one!
• Feel Free to skip this point. I saw an old car which is a first generation Chevrolet Cavalier (though I had to look it up online to confirm I'm not wrong). Another one I've spotted is a 2005 Chrysler 300C. If I'm being honest, I've seen the Chrysler 300 numerous times, but not in the exact year model and trim level I mentioned! Finally, I saw a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder queuing up to the intersection. My list of identified cars is still growing, which has now reached 120 in total!
• Had another play session of GT Sport and completed more races. I had another one of those moments where I had a close finish and came out on top thankfully. The time difference was under a tenth once again, with 0.065 seconds of a difference! If the finish line was a few more metres further, the BMW would've passed me (surprised how I didn't make contact before the final corner). Not gonna lie, I was VERY tempted to block the way, but I played fair and it felt satisfying with a photo finish. Here's a link to video proof once again that I'm not making it up! And seeing my recently finished livery in action lol. There's sound too, but you may want to turn down the volume a bit. I hope the AI is improved in the next game because they go through the corners too slowly haha.
• I've been thinking about it for quite a few months now and I'm considering going to college to learn how to be a car mechanic (hmm I wonder why?!?!)! I attended an information session the other day and when I heard that one of the classes will involve taking an engine apart and putting it back together, I'm like "Wow, I definitely want to do that!". Something tells me it's going to be a lot of fun doing hands-on tasks, even though there's going to be a lot of math involved. But who knows, maybe me being a car enthusiast will help make math much more bearable and soak things up like a sponge.

Tl;dr version:

• Played GT Sport.
• Had Frosty from Wendy's.
• Drove somewhere.
• Saw some cars.
• Attended an information session and heard stuff that made me happy.

I type too much lol.

Had some yummy quesadillas today! They were from a box but they turned out better than expected!
Won something I've had my eye on for like a year on Toreba! I can't wait for it to be shipped to me in probably 6 months!
Scheduled my booster shot which is two days from now!
Been working on my sketch for the TBT Valentine's Art Contest! It's turning out pretty good so far!

I got laid off in November (my position was eliminated) and money has been super tight, to the point where I've had to ask my parents to help me pay rent which is never something I want to do. On Thursday, I had a job interview at 11:00 am for a position that I applied to on a whim, and I got a job offer that same day at 4:00! I woke up unemployed that morning, and I went to bed as the Public Relations Manager for the Moscow Ballet I've never gotten a job that fast so I guess I must have impressed them. I've been down on myself for not having a job so I think it's safe to say that I'm going to be happy about that for a while!

It's Saturday, I have the house to myself (for now) and I'm feeling creatively inspired when it comes to playing ACNH.

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I finally got all my dreamie villagers!!

 

[gigii]

im finaly motivating my self to finish my house/shops in acnl!

 

[Croconaw]

⬥ A package that I ordered a week ago was finally shipped out yesterday. It is coming from Canada, so the delay was somewhat understandable.
⬥ I’ve been getting really good sleep the past few nights!
⬥ A coworker brought her cat into work and I’ll be honest, I’m definitely not a cat person but she was so cute. She let me pet her.

 

[moo_nieu]

i was offered the job! woop woop great way to start the weekend

 

[Bluebellie]

I about to move out soon and so far I’ve been able to get pretty nice things for free. I’ve been constantly searching the free adds on different sites. Literally the things I’m picking up look completely new and amazing. I thought I would be spending thousands of dollars trying to refurbish a new house. There are also a couple of fixes I have to make that cost money as well, like having to replace all cabinets.

However, I’ve been able to get so much completely free. They all happen to really match and look so good together. I amazed at all the good things that people throw away. I’ve gotten a cute mid century sofa, a smart tv, a dresser, a cute brand new bathroom vanity, kitchen cabinets, desks, and a whole bunch of other things. My friends and family have also been finding me things.

My favorite find recently was a beautiful studded mirror. I’ve actually seen it online before and it’s listed as costing over $200. I would have never purchased something so expensive myself. Getting it free felt amazing.

I kind of feel like I’m living a real life animal crossing. Designing my own home and finding furniture here and there.

I had a really good day, went to my friend's and we watched some movies then got some McDonalds. It was nice to get out of the house and socialize since I've been so isolated the past few months

 

[LadyDestani]

Today I'm happy because:

- I slept fairly deeply and got to sleep late this morning.
- I didn't have to work today and I'm off tomorrow.
- We ordered pizza today so we can have leftovers tomorrow without having to deal with Super Bowl waiting times.

 

[.: Meri :.]

☾ I had the time to play a little more of DQVII today!
☾ Finally tried out Puzzle League in New Leaf after I was finally able to get the New Nintendo 3DS from a fortune cookie! I... didn't make it very far. But I'd been wanting to try it and I'm glad I did!
☾ I got to do some coloring and listen to music for a bit too!

spent most of the day outside, the weather was lovely. drew some nice things tonight too. 9/10 day

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Just a few things from yesterday since I wasn't able to post!

• It was another sunny day!
• Feel free to skip this point. As I was driving home after completing a few errands, I spotted a 1999 Honda Insight! It's a funny-looking car because its rear wheels are partially covered. I never thought I'd actually spot one.
• I had Pizza Hut and waffle fries for lunch. It tasted delicious and made me very full.
• I played GT Sport. Apparently, online multiplayer is free until February 14, so I went online to race against others despite not having an online membership for PS Plus. Since I'm pretty much a newbie in the online scene, my rank is matched to those who are also starting out (and ones with dirty driving tactics, unfortunately). It was a miracle I didn't get punted into the gravel and guess what, I won my first ever online race! You can see the screenshot of my first victory with my Animal Crossing-themed racing gear below! I participated in the same race event a few times to have more fun where everyone drives a 2014 Honda Fit Hybrid. Despite being in a low-rank lobby with lower skill, there's this one person that had a similar pace as me, and they also happen to fly the Canadian flag too which is nice. I ended up facing against them a couple of times and it felt refreshing having to maintain a consistent pace to keep up. While they didn't leave any room when I tried to make a move into a few corners despite being side by side, I don't think they're a dirty driver as they're clean everywhere else and most likely need to work on their awareness. I ended up winning the first match since they cracked under pressure. The second time I raced them, I accidentally pushed them off the track and gave up the position afterward to stay fair. They eventually won despite me catching up, but I'm not bothered that I finished in second place. In fact, I was happy that they won as redemption for losing first place in the other race prior. I apologized for the minor incident after the race and things were all good. They even complimented me on my quick driving in the end which felt nice!

Spoiler: Extra thoughts if you want to read

There were a lot of the people who were not driving cleanly to say the least, with some victims being sent to the shadow realm and/or meeting Barry R (it's a running joke saying that someone got sent off the track and/or crashed into the barrier). It's worse when you approach the corner and then suddenly someone barges through, even if there's little to no space to make the move. I'm hugely, hugely exaggerating this, but this is how a lot of people in my area drive on the roads. If there's a small open space in traffic, people will do whatever it takes to save a grand total of two seconds of their commute. One time, I was driving in fairly heavy traffic in the rain. The two lanes were about to merge into one. Once the road became narrower, this one guy decided to quickly barge into the small gap. They're lucky I saw them in the mirrors and that I slowed down even further as to not get into an accident. They even casually thanked me after. Well yeah, you don't want to ruin your modified Subaru, so just take it.

Anyway, back to the game, I had one unintentional minor incident with this one person by hitting them lightly which made them go off track for a bit. I wanted to give back the position, I truly do. But given how low-rank lobbies in racing games have a reputation for drivers retaliating even after a small incident, I went with my gut feeling to just run for it through the next corner. Thank goodness I did because that said person I had contact with attempted to ram into me at high speed in hopes of ruining my race... And failed spectacularly. Even my sister who was watching me saw the blur of the Honda Fit zooming past my rearview mirrors. When I watched the replay, I was very lucky to come out unscathed with literal centimetres to spare. Had I taken the corner a little more slowly, I would've gotten destroyed. I know people get frustrated when they get pushed off, but it doesn't always happen with ill intentions. I truly want to apologize to the guy, but that retaliation isn't the way to go.

Spoiler: Photos of me narrowly avoiding being sent to the shadow realm

I'm in the blue Honda Fit while the person attempting to ram into me is in the beige Honda Fit. The blur from the beige car represents how fast they were going heading into a 90-degree turn.

Spoiler: Small gap

@Merielle Never thought I'd see someone mentioning DQVII here. It's got really retro graphics, but I've enjoyed the game for what it is. I played it originally on the Playstation, but was too young to really understand it so it was nice to replay it on the 3DS. How far in the game are you?


I bought this official cook book for Avatar and am really looking forward to trying all the meals they showed in the animation. They even have a recipe for unfried Avatar dough (for the day the Avatar was not boiled in oil) and onion and banana pickle juice.
