happy after christmas! here's the post santa day update from me.
most importantly,
i got a new ipad and apple pencil!!! unfortunately
they're not compatible... (10th gen and pro pencil) but my mom
says we can go and trade the 10th gen for an air. it'll lose
half the storage but be more powerful... my current ipad (6th
gen) is kicking the bucket despite my great care of it for
years. it often crashes in the middle of me drawing, and i can't
have too many apps open at once without serious lag.
even procreate and spotify at the same time is a no-go!
consequently, i'm super hyped for a new ipad. i'll be
turning off icloud photo sync (fuck that thing) and most other
apple stuff. on that note, i've exported all of my art as
.procreate to the files app. yippee! but i cant get it onto
dropbox or something smh. done yapping cause i actually wanna
code now lol byebye!

haiiiiii
guess who's finished their capstone project! o(≧∇≦o) my
group has submitted our final things and are awaiting our
grading, changes that need to be made, etc...
the capstone project is basically an assignment that's the last
thing i have to do (academic work wise) for my
entire high school career. i'm done!!!!! yippee!!!!!!!!!
okay not technically, we still have some presentations to do and
such. but fabrication and documentation are done. my project was
basically an excuse to make
a pc and fightstick controllers lol,
it's pretty dope. it also runs way better than my laptop which
is kinda jank cause its in this dumbass wood case but
whatever...
now that i do not have classes i have to decide what i'm gonna
do. i still have commitments w the school but my afternoons are
free. i picked to get dismissed early, and i think i'll get a
job and work on the site and learning blender in my off days.
the fishabilities are endfish!
christmas break is in a week, so i'll be doing a shark tank
pitch to my parents when i get home. i'm finally ready to
get back into art! i have some ideas for small things
like stickers and keychains, and i'm excited to start on that
for a side project.
i'm tired now expect me to do things... later. i need recharge
time lol

so here's a pro tip from the cyberspace angel. you probably
should take ur antidepressants regularly... lol. do not be like
me and periodically miss a day o-O i've been finding recently
i'm heavily dependent on my schedules. when i'm at
school, everything happens at the same time so it's much easier
for me to do everything at the same time. when i'm at home,
static stuff like me waking up and going to sleep becomes much
more variable. it throws everything off, and i end up missing
stuff like brushing teeth, showering, and eating a loooot more
than i should. also i forget to take my meds. but those are a
relatively new addition to my routine. -_-
all in all, mental health is weird. it feels like everyday i'm
either feeling crazy good or crazy bad. i hate when my mood is
so variable, bc it messes up my plans on what to do every day
TwT. but we're working on it bit by bit o7

hello! time for the end-of-year life update! （˶′◡‵˶）i
had a nice birthday and thanksgiving, i spent the former with a
friend and the latter with family. i do not get to see my
extended family often, so i was very happy to see my
cousins, aunts, and uncles!
thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because of the food!!
despite it not liking me very much, U~U i love my mom's
cooking and happily await the turkey and special punch headed my
way. this year i didn't get any though, because my family
organized an event where everyone contributed a dish. my mom
made a red velvet cake (which i didn't eat because i don't like
buttercream? icing). i was really exited for turkey, and put
some on my plate along with mac n cheese and corn on the cob. i
sat with some of my cousins, and excitedly took a bite... only
to finally realize why many of my friends did not like turkey.
this tasted terrible. legitimately. the turkey was
super dry and it coated my mouth like chalk.
i was so dissapointed! ╥﹏╥ everything else was decent
though. i certainly missed my mom's cooking in that moment, but
i was happy to spend some time with family.
one of the highlights of my thanksgiving trip was the market i
went to! my aunt took me to this store tucked away in a shopping
center that advertised anime figures. i had like
$2.38 to my name
and wasn't planning on buying anything (unless i saw rei ayanami
or an eva build kit ofc). but once we walked inside and wandered
a bit, i found
the best thing ever.
retro video game stores!!!!! i won't
bore you with the details, but i ended up purchasing a handful of games! i got
my first dreamcast game, and 3 nes titles. i've been
keeping an eye out for specific dc games, and i was super lucky
to find space channel 5 while sorting through bins (
✧Д✧). for the nes, i got kirby's adventure for myself, paperboy
for my mom, and the legend of zelda for my dad. i'm excited to
go home and test them out!
