Nonstop SAME i admire them so much honestly, i look at those results and think "man i should do that" but then i see how they spend hours and hours searching for and clipping coupons, organizing them, making spreadsheets and expansive lists for planned shopping trips that have to happen on the exact right day... it's too much for me so instead i just am in awe of and respect their power
It's already been two months since I moved all my worldbuilding threads. That feels like it only just happened! Time flies.
Deep manly chuckle whenever I see "Bring back anchors!" because even on the old site, nothing I did would give me working anchors anyway.
Can't miss what you never had, I suppose :,D
Kinda wish I hadn't had my hair cut last year....with my hair straightened like it is right now, it would've been way down my back. I'm really glad I got it done tho, I couldn't stand my curls anymore.
cw: injury, but pretty mild stuff. prepare yourself for this wild rollercoaster
i thought i was missing my transfer (it was just pulling up so i wouldn't have to cross the street in front of the bus i got off of) so i ran for it and wound up tripping, so now my left hand is scraped up and my right knee & right arm got Big Time scraped up... i thought my stomach exploded or something but it felt better within like 2 minutes so i'm probably good on that front
despite all of this happening through my clothes i don't have holes in anything, nor did any harm befall my glasses or phone which both flew through the air rather dramatically, so that's pretty impressive. BUT then i had to sit around at the student center for half an hour just waiting for the front desk to open so i could ask if they had a first aid kit bc the bus Did but only had antiseptic wipes for me bc they didn't have bandages big enough for my injuries. and it turns out the school's first aid kit didn't either so THEN i was told to go to the health center which required taking a shuttle bus but fortunately it arrived just as the guy was telling me that so i didn't have to wait
so then i get to the health center and i get told that if i want to get bandaged up i have to make a walk-in appointment so i have to sit around for Another half hour with my flesh burning and THEN i finally got in and got everything bandaged up (tho the one on my hand is gonna be the death of me as all hand injuries are bc the bandage keeps fallin off every time i make the slightest movement ;_; ) but it was free of charge! but then i couldn't figure out where the shuttle bus stop was bc they aren't really labeled and the bus driver who dropped me off specifically dropped me off at a not-stop area so i wouldn't have to walk as much. but a friendly stranger waved me over so i found it!
then i soothed my agonized soul w/ a donut, but the donut wasn't very good and now i have mild heartburn because donuts are not good for you. fuckin thing was like 2 bucks too, wtf?? the icing didnt even cover the damn thing it was so dry... plus it was a bad idea to eat a dessert bc i was planning on trying the burgers here today. but i got to see a very happy and cute baby by the cafeteria so that was cool. then i went to go do this homework assignment i was hoping to have more time to work on today, but it turns out it's not due until thursday so i can relax and play the eo5 demo finally!! and maybe i will just get a salad later. we'll see.
also this chair is comfy on the buns but killing my back somehow?? but it's right next to an outlet so...
basically i'm having a very up and down day but at least i'm definitely awake now...?? and i'll have something to talk about for the family meeting this week for sure. let's see how long this seesaw keeps a-goin'...
Might try and work on some new profile layouts later...maybe incorporate tabs like I've seen some people do.
Also, what if I wrote profiles in the 2nd person? Would that be weird? Hmm...
Computers, man.
My laptop/workstation has been giving me issues, finally decided to not start up today. Windows repair worked. Huzzah.
One of my programs I like using to keep my laptop running fast-ish apparently had a malware attached in one update, my terrible update habits made it completely miss me. Yahaha.
This monster is almost five years old and has been so reliable, I really don't want to lose it. I'm so attached.
I've recently discovered a sunflower growing by a huuuuge evergreen tree, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to notice .o. I'm kinda surprised it's managed to grow even with all that shade lol
i just realized that i don't have a lot of magical girl ocs despite running a da group for magical girl ocs and being a big fan of magical girls??? like i have one series that's fairly self-contained so i haven't done much with them, one group of people who are severely underdeveloped and barely exist and i've only ever done any rp stuff with their villainous counterparts and even then only three of them and one of them wound up dying, and another pretty self-contained series which just has one established magical girl who has theoretically infinite magical girl forms rather than, like, a primary form and i haven't designed any of them and also she may or may not die at the end... and i have one standalone magical girl but she's perpetually in magical girl form which isn't rly well-designed yet and comes with a big evil demon sword which i imagine people who specialize in cutesy stuff might struggle with
like heck i see so many magical girl ychs (some animated!!!) and special magical girl-exclusive commissions or just a lot of artists whose styles lend really well to magical girl designs and i want to order them SO BAD but i just... don't really have anyone to offer... i do have some magical girls but they're so underused that none of them really have refs nor do i feel the need to make them refs since they're unlikely to be used in rp stuff and don't have enough going on for me to want to make a th profile for them...
tl;dr man i really want some magical girls!! some magical girls i actually use and could make profiles of and want to get art of!!! i love magical girls so much so how do i have like 1000 ocs and so few of them are magical girls, much less magical girls i have any interest in using for rp stuff!!!!!!!
also linking that group made me realize i havent updated the rules in like 5 years... sexy, sexy admins....... incredible. i haven't even heard from the other admin since the group's founding
