Hello! Sorry for, like, no updates. I do try to aim for at least monthly updates but sometimes I just don't have anything to say or add to the site; I mean, these diary entries aren't really something but it gives me an excuse to update so...

I've gotten into Twine games and playing around in Twine, which if you don't know what Twine is it is an interactive fiction engine(?), so like choose your own adventure type stuff; its also uses html, css, and js (also if you care I use sugarcube). Since I have a basic understanding of html and css, its been fun to play around in (and its forcing me to actually start/continue learning about js).

I got my first S rank horse in Umamusume today; I've been stuck in A+ hell for a couple of months now. It was on my Mihono Bourbon Valentines AND she also got 9* stamina spark on her (yippee!).

I've been baking a lot more now, I try to aim for once a week just to have a little something sweet. I honestly am thinking about creating a new page here and starting a little baking blog (not recipes but just more of a log of what I made). This week I plan on making nutella chocolate chip cookies (recipe I haven't tried yet) so hopefully they turn out good.

Recently, I've decided to go back and listen to music from artists I liked when I was younger, usually an album at a time starting from the earliest. I think its been fun to rediscovered why I liked them and also see what they have put out since I had last listened to them (also to reaffirm my inner child who wasn't allowed to express their interests).

It's crazy that this site is almost at 100k views on neocities (I honestly don't know how they track it but number go up). I just looked at the creation date of my site and... holy shit have I really been here for almost 3 years?! Whatever is undiagnosed and wrong with my brain usually allows me like 3 good months on a hobby before it goes back onto the shelf (for eternity).

This post is all over the place, but so is my brain so this is what you get. If you read this far, I love you and I hope you get to eat your favorite meal this week.

Hello! I got rid of the old diary posts because I felt like they were kind of downer and this was a part of the site I wasn't very proud of, therefore I am restarting it (I am also doing a little better mentally so yay).

So now the diary is for little life updates of what I am doing and what I am into. More thought out post are for the blog.

At the end of last year, I got into Japanese male idols/groups, specifically, M!LK and more recently Ryugujo (龍宮成). My favorite songs right now from M!LK are Bakuretsu Aishiteru (爆裂愛してる) from their new EP and Everybody Good Job! (エビバディグッジョブ); from Ryugujo my current favorites are ギラリ and あっかんべ.

My main manga I try to keep up with right now are Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun (地縛少年花子くん) (currently on hiatus *cries*), The Summer Hikaru Died (光が死んだ夏), Kono Oto Tomare! (この音とまれ！), and Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (月刊少女野崎くん).

Underrated manga I've read are Kaze no Iro made Oboeteru (風の色まで憶えてる) by Kazari (飾) and Hokago Kitaku Biyori (放課後帰宅びより). Kaze no Iro made Oboeteru is 18+ BL though as a warning, but it is also so good (I love the art). Hokago Kitaku Biyori was something I decided to pick up when I was looking for something to pass the time but I was pleasantly surprised with the story and characters. Both are pretty light reads and are cute and wholesome (if I remember correctly).

My dog tore his CCL earlier this year and had to get surgery. His recovery has been very smooth and he is getting an x-ray this week to check how it's healing internally. I think the part he is struggling the most with is having to be corralled into the corner of the living room; I think he wants to get back on the couch or bed but he can't jump right now :(

I've taken a long break from doing art regularly because I fucked my shoulder pretty badly (I guess from the repetitive motion) so its been like a year since I have regularly drawn. I want to get back into it but I have no inspiration or ideas of what to draw ;-;

I am still torn between working on a new layout for this site vs. just keeping this one. (if you can't tell i'm the most indecisive person on earth) I don't have any new ideas and I did spend a lot of time on this one, but I think I would like to make a more responsive layout, as this one relies heavily on exact positioning.

If you've read this far sorry for the rambles. The world sucks right now but I'm still alive and so are you. I'm proud of both of us. Hopefully things will get better. Love you forever.
