Pool season is creeping upon us, should be here already but for some reason our stupid city doesn't want to hire lifeguards and is looking to save cash by only getting them here in July and August. Come on, man, this heat is apparently killing people! No really, some kids tried to swim in the river last week and died. Impeccable timing on that penny-saving plan, eh? I hate it here.

| Week 25. |
Monday, had a meeting with my social worker that went kind of bad because I forgot to bring a bunch of documents that were needed to schedule my driving test. I forgot to mention this in my last post but I was actually kind of sick over the weekend. Yes, in the 40+ degree heat. Ate too much ice or something. So my throat was totally fucked, headache, and I was trudging places at slug-speeds. She was too nice about me basically wasting her time, but we did look over some other stuff. At home, I uploaded some new art to my Artfight character profiles. Specifically some new stuff I did for Kevin and Julian. My god, I'm so bad. Whatever, we're doing this!
Tuesday I was becoming that skin person from Doctor Who who needs constant refreshing, also I was laid out like a puddle instead.
Work was alright on Wednesday, half day because of the heat. It literally feels like a thousand hot pins every time your skin's got sun on it. And if you're under layers, you're basically being slowly steamed in your own sweat. We helped Noel cut a tree down, so that was kind of fun except for when my brother was having like a heatstroke or something and just totally stood looking at nothing as a massive branch was about to come down on him. For a second, I was like 'damn, that's too bad, he was a pretty good sibling...' because I couldn't fathom making any quick movements in these temps. But then mum would probably be pissed so I floundered forward and got a hold of the back of his shirt just in time to yank him out of the way.
We haven't been watching FIFA much. It kind of lost it's magic to me (genocide denial and corruption will do that to ya!). It's just not Waka Waka anymore, which was kind of the last time I was really excited about the World Cup. Probably because it was the first one I was old enough to pay attention to.
On Thursday I was considering rain dances, prayers, and incantations.

| He's all eyeballs. |
On Friday I bedazzled my Artfight page a little. Put some of the bluest icons I could find, which wasn't many so I gave up and just started putting up whatever I liked, because I finally settled on team Tragedy. There's no happiness in this world so live with it.
 |
| Ta-da! |
More importantly, we finally finished the first Alan Wake game. We first played it as a joke because of the hilarious writing and honestly it stayed pretty laughable for most of the game but... shit, I kind fuck with Alan Wake now!
 |
| Cursed screenshot. Actually crashed the 360. |
On Saturday we went to the recyclerie with my mum and sister. Some really good stuff, especially for the summer. I'm happy with it.
 |
| A good time! |
Then on Sunday, Monique invited us to the pool. We spent a couple of hours there, finally felt like I was actually alive no matter the chlorine levels.
 |
| My weirdest delusion is that Uno can be won through skill. |
 |
| Apparently my hair looked nice! |
 |
| Trusty bag. |
 |
| Finally styling this tube top. |
Our town was also celebrating music day, the whole main street was blocked off and we spent most of it listening to this incredibly skilled jazz band. Not many folks were checking them out for some reason but us. They even came over and gave us a CD after their show! There were also square dancers in cowboy hats. Yes, in the south of France. I used to think we were kind of the Ohio of France but maybe we're like... the Alabama or Georgia of France. Which is so much worse.
 |
| There they go. Honky tonk. Fucking whatever. |
 |
| Free CD! |
Kept up with the pre-Artfight prompts bingo a bit too. Even made a little tragedy sticker that I used all over it. And obviously my user card.
 |
| User card. |
 |
| Free sticker. Whoever wants it. |
 |
| 1 bingo! |
1. Fill out some hitlists: I filled out two hitlits, one of an Artfight mutual and another of a 32bit cafe forum-friend.
2. Fill out your team card and share: sure did, and posted it to my Neocities and on the 32bit forum thread.
3. Set yourself goals for AF2026: Done. The goals? None. Just do something.
4. Update OC connections: this is a new feature and I used and abused it, especially for my mermaid characters.
5. Follow people you hope to attack: followed a bunch of people from 32bit as well as some Neocities friends.
6. Set up and post your own hitlist: I've never made a hitlist before so I decided to try it out. Scared.
7. Free square!
8. Join a team: team Tragedy, let's lose in a very morbid way!
9. Decorate your profile with HTML: As can be seen above, done.
10. Create an attack planner: I've made a bookmarks folder for all the characters I'm hoping to attack.
11. Welcome some new Artfight users in: Dropped a hello on the profile of a fellow Neocities artist who's doing AF for the first time this year!
12. Organize your bookmarks: Done.
13. Add a quote or lyric that represents your OC to their profile: all my mermaid characters have playlists of their own so I'm gonna count this.
It will be the end of June soon enough. That's crazy. Though if it gets colder, fuck it, hurry up!
This Week I'm Excited For...
Next week is the unofficial Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie The Weekend. I'm forcing my brother to re-watch the web series, the show, and at the end we're gonna finally watch the movie. I am so done waiting, man! Sister may join too.
Song Of The Week...
As you can probably tell all I have on the mind is NTBTS, and that makes it's way into the song of the week selection this time around too. I could have sworn that the chorus of Turnstile's Holiday was really similar to the chorus of another song I knew. If you know of a hardcore song that has the same rhythm and melody of Holiday's chorus (but not the rest of the song), please send it to me. This shit has been killing me! Anyway, amazing hardcore song. Or is it post? Fuck it, it slaps. Just plain good.
