How are you? You're always hearing about my bullshit, how about letting me know how its going for you? Comment, use the form, anything. I'd be happy to hear about your day, week, life, whatever you feel like talking about.
Anyway, now more on my bullshit. Monday was fun. First, my brother's friend streamed us some Apex, which I haven't played in years and it made me a little nostalgic for my uni days. My sister had a friend over so we all decided to play Roblox together. I usually hate Roblox but I'll play when it's something we can do together. We played the fake Buckshot Roulette game and fake Uno and I won twice at Uno!
In the evening me and Mo watched Jumper which is a terrible movie but it has Jamie Bell in it. It was one of those movies teachers at our school would put on during a special day when kids had to be kept indoors for some reason. Usually before a big event in the evening or if the weather was bad during lunch break.
I'm still grappling with confronting daunting tasks. I have a very annoying micro-management system going now. Basically, I fear complicated tasks that are usually out of my control. My biggest issue has been that there are usually a ton of little things that are roadblocks to getting that one big task out of the way. So instead I wallow about how impossible it all feels. I'm not really successful yet, but now I just pick out the little tedious problems and pretend the big picture doesn't exist.
It was the birthday of a childhood friend on Wednesday but ever since my phone died, I have lost contact with a lot of people. My first ever fan-listing got approved by the Fanlisting Network! It's for the band Elliott which I am obsessed with. Alice was my first member, I love her site and browse it often. I should probably tell her that. Elliott really doesn't have a bad song. I was supposed to go to the employment office today but I didn't. The more I drag it out, the worse it's going to be...

Ow the edge. |
In the afternoon me and my sister went to the thrift store because she always has a half-day on Wednesday. She found a really cute short-sleeve black button-up and a striped sweater. I got a Norah Jones and The Fray CD.
On Thursday I checked my Neocities and got so many lovely comments from people about my fanlisting. It was really nice to read. The visual part of my site is probably the most important so I feel really good when other's appreciate the efforts. I also picked up where I left off with Listen To Sassy. Such a great podcast. It must be cool to be Pamela Ribon, talking and writing about TV through the 2000s! I got sad about Quizilla being dead and looked at some stories through the Wayback Machine. Some of the most generic emo boy love stories but there was just something special about that.
On Friday, I finally went to the employment office thing I needed to go to and got an appointment. It was literally so easy but I spent so much time building it up in my head that it grew into something catastrophic. Well, it wasn't. Am I going to learn my lesson from this? Nope.
I finished a sprite for Nanoreno but I am not feeling optimistic about the demo. I may have to postpone to next year.
On Saturday we watched Superbad with my sister who hasn't seen it before. It's kind of funny to think that a childhood staple for me is something strange for her. Like, do Gen Alpha kids get McLovin' as a reference? Maybe. I don't know. Old man, cloud, you know, the usual. Anyway, I love the ending of Superbad. It's so sad. It's what going to uni felt like for me too. One last hurrah, you promise everyone to meet again and then it just doesn't happen. No ill will or anything, turns out we were all just a little too naive and hopeful.
In the evening I was hanging out in Kuroi's chat and had a lovely time with other website visitors. Chances! Just being in the right place at the right time.
On Sunday I made an executive decision to officially quit Nanoreno this year. It just wasn't going to happen and I didn't want to rush the project. We had a nice lunch and went to the park to play Frisbee. My throwing game is off. Marta walked Yoshi, he enjoyed himself because he's never been to the park before. At night we watched Blue Crush, chock full of a boring romance but such cool outfits. Me and Marta are feeling the summer early.
This week's song is a little hidden gem by the name of Super Down (by Super TransAtlantic). I heard it when I was watching American Pie ages ago but it's super catchy. Not a great film but dammit there's somethings about it I can appreciate.
