What Are You Happy About Today?

I saw my favorite person last night. I had a very long and satisfying hug from her. I was a terrible friend to her yesterday and did some stupid **** (because BPD) but she once again forgave me. I really need to stop taking her kindness for granted. Anyone else would be done with me by now, literally anyone else.
My profile is mostly private so not many may have seen this, but I really do like this commission I had made on Fiverr. It’s only on my About Me which is why not many have seen it yet. I’m obsessed with the pose. If you recognized the exact pose, I applaud you.

I slept very well last night despite thinking my favorite person was mad at me, lol. It took a bit for me to find motivation to get up, though. I just needed to hear from her that she wasn’t mad.
I’m lowkey very happy that I can stealthily use the men’s room at work. I clean the restrooms so people just assume I’m cleaning or checking up on them if I go inside. I honestly don’t like people knowing if I have to go either, so it’s a double perk. It’s confidence for when I’m not at work, in public and have to go.
I received a PM on here letting me know that my posts on this thread has inspired them to get a binder! Won’t mention their user as I’m not sure if they want to be publicly mentioned, but it really made me happy.

Despite all of the grief I’ve experienced lately, I do have a lot to be happy about.
- I got to treat myself to some new skincare products from my favorite line, Guerlain.
- I got Fry’s ashes back and he’s right next to Sydney now 🖤
- My husband surprised me with Harvestella last night and I love it so far.
- He also surprised me with Sonic Frontiers this morning. ❤️
- I’ve really enjoyed getting back into Animal Crossing with this journal event. I’ve made so much progress on my second island that I’d practically given up on prior to this.
- I’ve almost beat the storyline of both Scarlet and Violet. It’s taken me a while because I took such a long break recently.
- I’ve had a lot of support during the losses of two of my beloved animals, and that has meant the absolute world to me. 💖
 
I beat Lucía in WSR table tennis for the second time! She is by far the hardest Champion to beat for me, but Diana (one of my Miis that I was playing as) managed to win a victory. 🏓

Things are going well for my art challenge, and I made my 4th post about it in my art gallery! 🎨

Watched a few more episodes of South Park, I'm now on season 9! Season 25 was also added to Paramount+ recently. Again, I'm in no rush to watch it, but I'm still excited about it! ^_^

One of my online friends requested a fanfic for me to write for them, I can't wait to get started on it! 📝

Watched some of Poofesure's recent videos (specifically "going pro in every wii sports resort sport - bowling" and "baby peach is the worst"), and both of them were absolutely hilarious. :LOL:

My dad gave me a lemon-flavored pastry and it was pretty good! 🍋

Found a new System of a Down song I liked! I can't say the name of it 'cause of how blatantly derogatory it is, but the song is good regardless. 🎵
 
It’s been a looooong time since I’ve posted here (okay, just since December, but still) and I’m happy to see y’all and get back into the habit. 💫

Daily happies: 💌

🔭 After a long week of being absolutely confused about everything going on in classes, I sat down and did physics work all day. I got through fourteen pages of assignments and feel pretty dang good about myself.

🧸 My roommate and I talked about her stuffed animals, and I expressed that I thought one of them was very cute. The next day, she gifted me a tinier version of that one!!!! I will genuinely treasure it forever.

👕 My mother and father are being very supportive of me in these difficult months, and I really appreciate that.

❤️ My partner and I had a difficult conversation about our feelings which turned out to be really important and productive. I love them so, so much.

🍲 Ate delicious spicy bibimbap for dinner. Heck yeah!

📚 Spent all day studying with friends, and was genuinely productive for once. I don’t feel especially accomplished but I am proud of myself because I know I worked hard.

🎮 I’m about to change into PJs and make my daily island journal post. A nice way to end the day.

🌳 It’s nice to be back on TBT. I missed this place. I missed reading about the good and bad in everyone’s days, seeing their cute and funky islands, and being sassy in my island journal. If you’re reading this, I hope you’re having a fabulous day!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I slept in this morning and it felt soooo good!
- I had a productive day. I got the medicine cabinet organized and went shopping for new towels and a bathmat.
- My husband and I had a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. We don't treat ourselves to things like that often.
- We've made plans to go to a local aquarium for Valentine's Day! I've been wanting to check it out since last summer.
- I'm looking forward to reading tonight and then getting a good night's sleep hopefully.
 
Didn't post last night because it was late and I was too sleepy ahaha, so here's what I'm happy about for yesterday and today! ^^

Yesterday:
After a little break, I got back into brainstorming ideas for my ACNH island! I came up with some concepts that I'm really happy with, and spent some time getting started on them and catching up with some missed dailies.
I found some new art of some of my comfort characters!!
I watched a little bit of Youtube with my parents, and my mom and I watched some anime together later on as well.
I did some caving/exploration in Minecraft! I'm half-convinced the cave near my base actually does just go on forever, but it was nice getting to explore and light up more of it anyway. ☺️

Today:
I finished getting caught up in ACNH and worked on my plans some more! I was also able to figure some more things out when I was having a hard time choosing between two customizations, so hopefully things will work out well! c:
Watched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Fairy Tail with my parents again this morning!
We also got to see Grian's latest Hermitcraft episode!
 
I have recently been getting video recommendations for lofi beats and some of them are pretty good. To my surprise, country beats exist. They do have something for everyone.
Two gift cards arrived in the mail today. I redeemed them using the miles on my travel credit card. The first gift card is for Burger King and the second one is for Chili’s!
I had a productive day which involved washing my bedsheets and running the vacuum in my room. I do this often, but it’s better than letting it get real bad.
Thinking back to when my favorite person said she would visit me in Vegas or somewhere else when I get an apartment. Sometimes it’s the little details; when, not if.
 
Got to see the newest episode of One Piece with my parents this morning! Later on we were also able to finally catch up with Solidarity's Empires SMP series too.
I played Rune Factory 5 for a bit again today! Not much story progress since I'm trying to take a little extra time to prepare and get better equipment for the next dungeon—I made it through the last one alright, but I was starting to get the sense that my defenses were a tad lacking. 😅
I wrote another entry in my island journal!
I got to check in on my island again! Lily gave me a full-length maid gown as a thank-you for the gift I got her for her birthday, bless her 😭 And I also found furniture in Nook's Cranny that I'd been looking for, and I got the Vine Garland DIY!!
 
Daily happies:

🧬 I was super productive yesterday and wasn't able to be as productive today, but I got things done even though I was tired, and I'll give myself credit for that.

🧋 Got boba with my roommate and she told me about a cute bookstore near our house that we should visit together!

🎨 Found a Procreate brush set that I'm really excited to purchase and try out. I want to get back into drawing for fun and what better way to do so than through spending money

🍛 Dinner was delicious bibimbap leftovers.

🥪 I packed breakfast and lunch for myself tomorrow, and made myself a coffee (which will hopefully be iced by the morning). When I eat a home-packed lunch, even if I'm the one who packed it, I feel loved. :''')

💌 I spoke to an old friend on Facetime after a long time, and then chatted with another on the phone. As the resident exhausted introvert, I'm pretty dang proud of myself.

♥️ Like every day, my partner made me laugh, chatted with me about things both silly and serious, and validated my various worries and desires. It's so funny to write this in an Animal Crossing online forum, but I've truly never known a love like this.

🪴 I'm loving looking at all of the island journals and happy posts on TBT. Every time I get a little notification that someone's liked something I've posted, it's free dopamine. Y'all are so cool and I'm excited to be back. Have a good one, wherever you are!
 
Today I'm happy because:

- I finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo last night.
- I got some decent sleep and got to sleep in this morning.
- I watched the latest episode of To Your Eternity and played some Tetris.
- On our afternoon walk, we came across 3 loose dogs and helped their owners retrieve them. There was one Shiba Inu named Theodore and two spaniels named Charlie and Finley. I'm always happy to meet new dogs and I feel good knowing that they're safe and sound now.
- We also saw 2 birds on top of a bush that was right next to the sidewalk. Quite a few birds nest in that bush, but they usually fly away before we get too close. This time they just sat there calmly as we passed.
- My husband was a sweetie and refilled my tires with air since my low tire pressure light came on yesterday.
- It was another productive day. We vacuumed the rug in my home office, my husband dusted my desk and bookshelves, and I touched up the bathroom paint in the areas that weren't done well. I love going in there and seeing how nice it looks now.
- I spent some quality time with my husband and my dog snuggled with me on the couch.
- I had a nice, hot shower this evening.
- I plan to start reading The Dragon Reborn tonight.
 
Today Yesterday has been pretty okay for me hehe.

February 5, 2023
  • I did some laundry.
  • I ate a cinnamon bun from Cinnabon and it tasted really good when heated up!
  • I helped out my mother so she could make baked chicken thighs with mushrooms and rice. Of course, I love how it tastes and filled me up!
  • I got some textbook reading done.
  • I vacuumed the floor to do a bit of cleanup.
  • I played Gran Turismo 7 and did another one of those custom races featuring engine-swapped cars. It's hilarious to see a few cars that don't go over 200 km/h would do so quite quickly and actually keep up with a few other opponents which made for some funny moments lol.
I guess you know the drill by now. From first to last, underlined names indicate cars I have spotted in real life (or at least similar in appearance), along with the ones where the engines originated from! I tried my best to lay them out as best as I could. 😅Look, it's awesome putting engines from cars I saw in real life into some of the cars that I also saw in real life. It's amazing.
  1. 1965 Mini-Cooper 'S' <-----\
  2. 1970 Fiat Abarth 595 SS <--- 2020 Honda Civic Type R FK8 This is probably the 515th time I've mentioned this car...
  3. 1991 Honda Beat <----------/ Oh hey this is one of the few cars that appeared in Sailor Moon lol.
  4. 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro <- 2008 Lexus PETRONAS TOM'S SC430
  5. 1962 Volkswagen Sambabus Type 2< -- 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964)
  6. 1966 Volkswagen 1200 <-----------------/
  7. 1991 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione <- 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO
  8. 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C3 <- 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 C7
  9. 2015 Mazda Roadster S (ND) <- 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7
  10. 1970 Plymouth Superbird <--- 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
  11. 1945 Jeep Willys MB <--------/
  12. 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) <- 1991 Mazda 787B
  13. 1989 Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA) <- 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD)
  14. 1991 Suzuki Cappuccino <-----------/
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__8.jpeg

I almost tipped my Cappuccino over. Thank goodness it didn't roll over entirely!
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__1.jpeg


We never really take the time to notice it, but it goes on to show how cars over the years just get bigger compared to the ones of yesteryear. Granted, it's a pickup truck, but still (disclaimer that I didn't make the Tonka livery). And yes, you really did just see Blathers plastered onto the Beetle lol. Not only is he terrified of bugs, but the speed as well going almost 200 km/h.
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__2.jpeg


Oh no, Mr. Bean is getting overtaken by the Superbird! Disclaimer: I also did not create the livery.
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__9.jpeg


The A.I. overshot the corner and ended up in the gravel for a bit. Sorry, @/LadyDestani, this driver didn't do you any justice representing one of your favourite cars lol.
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__3.jpeg


Fighting for the lead! Look closely and you can see my small drawings on these cars hehe.
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__4.jpeg


Ah yes, a Miata with a Corvette engine blazing past the Sambabus while both of them are going at least 150 km/h.
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__5.jpeg


"Sir, the RX-7 called. They're angry and they want their engine back!"
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__6.jpeg


Nothing beats (get it? Because Honda Beat? I'll see myself out 😂) a moment like this where you lose against a WW2 vehicle by less than a tenth of a second.
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca__7.jpeg
For those who are reaaaaaaally curious as to how the race went down, I even made a short video! Also, it's pretty convenient how the game tells me the names of the cars whenever I overtake them. And I almost messed up real badly on the final corner on the final lap thanks to my semi-decent driving.
  • And finally, I managed to complete another entry for my island journal! Of course, I got to play New Horizons in the process and I got to clean up a lot of flowers that were plaguing my island lol. I'm not done yet, but it made me happy that this event got me to complete a couple of nook miles achievements, learn some recipes, and just experience the game again... Also, I keep forgetting to mention that playing Gran Turismo 7 creates a continuity error in my island journal writing since I'm meant to take a break from all that driving for a while whoops.
Thank you for hearing my rambles lol. 💙
 
I downloaded Ibis Paint X on my Chromebook! I'm still getting used to it, but it works much better than the old art program I use! I've made quite a bit of sketches already. 🎨

I played Swordplay Speed Slice on WSR and got to the Champion, Matt! I decided to not cheat by 'pause buffering', which means it's going to take WAY more than two tries to beat Matt like last time. 😂 I've gotten a few close games, though! I also got to face some of my favorite Miis, including my #1 favorite! 🤍

Found some more Lady Gaga songs I like (Judas, Alejandro, and Government Hooker)! 🤩

Yesterday my parents made a delicious dinner of steak, salad, and baked potatoes! Today we had rice, salmon, and assorted vegetables! 🍲

I played a bit of Tomodachi Life and wrote a metal song for Yoko to sing! I haven't written a song in TL in a while (let alone a decent-sounding one), and I like how it turned out! 🎵

Messed around with an incorrect quotes generator for a bit and got some funny results. XD It seems like more quotes were added since last time, so that's cool!
