LISTENING TO: Rotten Mango Podcast #294

SONG OF THE DAY: Heart to Heart (Mac DeMarco)

FEELING:

"i dont know what will happen with this site. im focusing on surviving at the moment... i want to start coding again, but that may not be for a long time." that is what I said, lol.....

i am currently in a stable home for the next year, it's an apartment, and smaller than I could ever be used to, but it's home for now!!!..... I have a computer now too. I've removed my gofundme link from this site, because I think that I've gotten more help than I can accept..... I was given so many kind words, and i honestly cannot really vocalize how truly grateful I am for everyone. I lost my job, and honestly every other hobby i have is kind of on the backburner..... so i want to get back into coding. Maybe an overhaul of my site. I need somewhere to write about how I feel, and the feelings that come with this kind of trauma. hopefully I'll be more active from now on...

LISTENING TO: Controlla (Idealism)

SONG OF THE DAY: Lahaina Grown (Lahaina Grown)

FEELING:

hi guys... im not sure whats going to happen to this site.

on tuesday night, a fire started in my town. it burned through everything i have ever known. my childhood elementary school, my favorite hangout spots, my workplace, and eventually, my home. i wasnt able to bring much with me. right now im in a hotel room with just my laptop and a few posessions. i barely made it out alive. we had to drive on the wrong side of the road, swerving out of the way of oncoming traffic trying to outrun the flames.

i dont know what will happen with this site. im focusing on surviving at the moment... i want to start coding again, but that may not be for a long time.

thank you for all of the friends i have made on this site. please wait for me, i will be back eventually.

my gofundme, if you would like to help.

ive been coding a lot more often, i forgot how good it feels to just code and write on my own little corner. its way less stressful than social media. anyways, i have my new semester classes!!! i really like them. im much more inclined to more rigid classes like government science than i am to art classes. as much as i like art, its easy for me to fall behind on creative assignments... BUT NOW IM IN MY ELEMENT!!!! i feel really good about this semester.

im writing this in class while eating a microwave tonkatsu bowl that is so hot that it makes my nose run

5/28/22

LISTENING TO: shinigamikai B (death note OST)

SONG OF THE DAY: Lonesome Practicalism (Mystic Messenger OST)

FEELING:

this month was shitty to say the least. its not what i want to focus on;. im done with school fotr this year! i have about a month to myself before i have to go out of state, and ive been trying to spend as much of that time as possible with dove . its been really nice. weve started a randomized run of pokemon soulsilver; it started off slow, but we're having a lot of fun now. we also attempted to start an alpha sapphire randomized nuzlocke. it is not going half as well. regardless, im spending time with her. thats all that matters to me. she always takes extra care to indulge in my interests with me. it makes me feel really loved. ...and its honestly partially why i stopped coming here as much. i made this site to talk about my interests in a space where i know at the very least, i wont be judged. and its nice, but talking to someone i love face to face who is actively excited to hear what i have to say is honestly a little better. This isnt me saying ill abandon this site, though. because i actually do want to put more work into it now that i have so much more free time. i just havent had much motivation to code.

ive been getting out a bit more often at the very least. im an officer in the japanese club now. next year if covid restrictions arent as strong, well be participating in a lot more community and charity events. i feel happy to actually be a part of something. ..and were saving up for our trip to japan next may.

LISTENING TO: destroyed by hippie powers (car seat headrest)

SONG OF THE DAY: destroyed by hippie powers (car seat headrest)

FEELING:

I CAUGHT A FUCKING SHINY LUXRAY LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

i also got my first tattoo this weekend! its a knife in the middle of my chest; i hand poked it myself, and it really did not hurt at all. im working on thorns on my ribs but those ones are a little painful/hard to do so i didnt do them all in one go. im planning on getting my lip and septum pierced later in the week; in celebration of the end of the school year. (since i got my nose pierced in the beginning.

tattoos and lip piercings and talking to dove about hourly pay... makes me feel grossly old. i still feel like a little kid most of the time.

3/20/22

LISTENING TO: very really good episode 181

SONG OF THE DAY: Justice Blooming Out of Season (Durarara OST)

FEELING:

the month feels like its gone by insanely quick. the only time ive ever really accounted for the dates were in the beginning of the month, when dove woke me up in the morning exclaiming "happy pi day!" and now. ive just cleared my toom of all of its dishes and i felt pathetic doing so. i only really left my bed for a significant amount of time once this week, and it was only to go on a walk alone through town. theres an ice cream shop within comfortable walking distance of my house thats hiring, and im really considering applying. i need to get a job, but ill be in los angeles for an acting thing for 3 weeks this summer, so it wouldnt be worth getting a job only to quit so quickly, or, at the very least request so much off time as a brand new employee. whaaatever.

3/17/22

LISTENING TO: dove typing

SONG OF THE DAY: あゝオオサカdreamin'night (どついたれ本舗)

FEELING:

as of now im midway through spring break and not really looking to go back to school. i spent some time with the japanese club last weekend and dont hate being around a group of people for .. once;. i liked it, i really do have a hard time socializing or being comfortable around other people, so it was really nice to have an experience where i wasnt feeling so uncomfortable.. however, that does not mean i am ready to face going back to school. i can hardly make it through the day when im not on break. just one quarter left....

in other news, ive been able to spend a lot more time with dove since ive been on break.

being with her makes me happy.

i love her.

2/23/22

LISTENING TO: a random danny gonzales video

SONG OF THE DAY: Love on the Line (Her's)

FEELING:

this week has been alright so far, ive been doing a lot better mentally than i have in the past... 3 months..? i really am happy. ive fallen into a routine that is predictable and comfortable... my only complaint is that i wish it was the weekend already!

on weekends, when dove hears me wake up she immediately goes and kisses me all over my face .. and says sweet things .. and usually i fall back asleep ... but i feel like im glowing for the rest of the day.. i miss spending the weekend in bed with her. though i guess the 5-day week of obligations makes it all the more worth it when i can finally rest with her?

SONG OF THE DAY: deadlines (hostile) (car seat headrest)..technically more of the song of the past 2 days, but its stuck in my head now too.

FEELING:

i got my booster vaccine yesterday. ...and the adverse effects have really gotten to me today. i feel awful. i wont waste this space complaining about my symptoms because the most impostant part about this is that my girlfriend. dove is right here next to me, listening to me camplain and groan and etc. i fell asleep for a few hours in the middle of the day and when i woke up she was still here. i could go back to sleep now and know that shell be here when i wake up. i feel so loved and taken care of. i am so grateful for her all the time.

...i also woke up this morning to this text from her.

i am so in love

1/3/22

LISTENING TO: Cerulean City (pokemon red/blue/yellow)

SONG OF THE DAY: sans. (toby fox), Here We Are (toby fox)

FEELING:

i would like to preface this by saying that after finishing my ORIGINAL version of this entry, this laptop crashed and did not save what i had written, because APPARENTLY it cant handle FOUR TABS OPEN ON FUCKING GOOGLE CHROME. not to mention, the keyboard sticks and it causes me to go back and fix every. sentence. i. TYPE. REGARDLESS, my computer of 5 years finally broke on me recently, leaving me with my old (NON-RELIABLE) laptop. my new computer is scheduled to come in on Jan. 20., leaving me with this piece of garbage for the time being. hence the much less frequent updates... i spent a vast majority of my time off in bed with my girlfriend. ive finally convinced her to listen to welcome to nightvale with me, which has been one of- if not The Most influential pieces of media that ive consumed. (take that as you will!) and she really likes it! i really am so happy to have spent all this time with her. and unfortunately my break ends tomorrow morning. (or.. in 6 hours.) and i am admittedly... kind of upset about it. time well spent, though. i couldnt ask for a better girlfriend.
