Hi!
In the time between this, and my last post (but not most recent update! I've added several pages, and cleaned up my about page), some things have happened.
First, I turned twenty-six! My parents got me a recurve bow, and I've been having so much fun practicing with that. I had some lessons back when I was a teenager, but it's been so long and I missed it. My first day I had my arm twisted wrong, so now I have a big bruise. It's so much fun though, and as I get better I'll feel more accomplished! Today I hit the center of my target box, completely by random chance, but it made me feel really good lol
I've also gotten a betta fish! His name is Bruno, and I love him. He has so much personality, and it's so nice to watch him swim around in his tank. He's so pretty looking too!
I've found a good way to spend less time on social media, and that's by going back to forums! I joined a few, and it's seriously great. Instead of websites trying to steal your attention constantly, using insidious features, forums just have good conversations! And they're really their own communities, since you'll start to recognize different members over time. Social media makes it hard to have a real community, since it's so disjointed and so full of people, it's a surprise when you see posts from the same person twice, unless you follow them. Forum's have been a breath of fresh air for me.
Speaking of a breath of fresh air, I've been trying to spend more time outside. Sunlight and nature is supposed to be good for mental health, and I think it is making an impact! I really like just spending time outside, and I always forget that lol. The sense of accomplishment from seeing things like your plants growing feels nice. I've heard of a theory, I'm not sure how true it is, but it's the idea that with everyone spending so much time inside on electronic devices, that more and more people are experiencing a bit of sensory starvation. Obviously not a true sensory deprivation, but the lack of natural sounds, and tactil stimulation could be having an impact on mental health. Again, just a random thing I read, but it's an interesting thought. And I think with spending time outside, for me personally, is helping my anxiety a little. At least, when it comes to germs.
I've also been trying to go to the library more. I've gotten a few books there, most notably "Sunrise on the Reaping" by Suzanne Collins. I was the first person to read that particular copy my library had! It's a very good book, and I definitely recommend it to fans of the Hunger Games. When I first heard the book was coming out, I wasn't very excited. Haymitch wasn't a favorite character of mine, and we know how his hunger games went, but I also wasn't excited about "A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" when I first heard about it, and when I finally gave in and read it last year, I absolutely loved it. Reading from Snow's POV was interesting, and instead of rooting for the main character like usual, it was more like I was studying him under a microscope, waiting to see what he would do next. But! Since I enjoyed that one so much, I decided to give the new prequel a chance, and I am so glad I did. I really liked reading it, and gave me a lot more appreciation for Haymitch, and it added extra layers to the original trilogy.
The spin-off for My Hero Academia, Vigilantes, has started to air. I read a lot of the manga before, so I know how it goes, but I think they're adapting it well! The characters are so interesting, and Aizawa gets a pretty prominant role! There's some episodes coming up I know will make me emotional, and I can't wait!
I've also started watching the Anne of Green Gables anime, which is such a weird concept to me, especially since it's pretty book accurate from what I've seen?? Not at all what I was expecting, but I'm enjoying it!
Anyway, I'm going to wrap this up by saying yet again that this website is under construction 😅 I mean, feel free to look through all the pages I've made! But just know that the navigation sidebar might not be configured right, or have all the links on it. I'm really torn on how to handle the navigation, and I don't know if I'll ever be satisfied with it. It looks nice having all the links on the sidebar, but that means whenever I add a new page, that I then need to update every single sidebar on every single page, which is kind of annoying. I could have just the sidebar on the main page, and on all the other pages have a "Return to main page" button instead of the whole list, but I'm not sure.

Hello! I'm back again after over a year and a half, and it's time to do some remodeling. I'm wanting to rework a lot of stuff on here, and start to use this again! I think my main goal at the moment will be to work on this page, and then start using this for proper life updates and such. I'm thinking of removing some pages such as Japanese, and crochet, and maybe adding them back again later once I have a better idea of what I want to do with them. I'm also thinking of doing longer posts with bigger gaps inbetween, instead of my short posts every week. I don't know how the timing will go, so we'll see.

We recently hatched a bunch of baby chicks!! They're so adorable. I was able to get a video of one of them hatching from their egg! Trying to upload the video doesn't seem to be working the way I'm trying it, so I might have to add that later.

Not a lot going on, but I'm working on different projects! I'm really sad about there only being three more episodes of season 6 of My Hero Academia 😥

I didn't play OoT for a bit, but I've picked it back up and have now collected all three stones! Link is now an adult and can reach the tallest shelf, and I won Epona from Igno :D Seeing the market in the future is so depressing. Everything's in ruins, and there's just those husks left :(
Still loving MHA season 6! It's so good!!
Still learning new songs on my ukulele. I can now play Zelda's Lullaby, The Great Fairy Fountain, the Mii channel theme, the beginning of Hedwig's theme, and today I started working on "You say" from MHA

Been working on learning Javascript, and I still have a long way to go. But! I can now do this:
January 30th 2023
So far I've finished the first two dungeons in OoT, and I really like it! Probably going to play later today and try to get to the Zora's domain. I'm learning how to play the Great Fairy Fountain's song, and I'm really excited for Tears of the Kingdom to come out :)
I also remembered Princess Tutu exists, so I might be making a page for that soon. I really really love that show, despite it's silly name.
January 23rd 2023
I've worked on different pages, but haven't updated this in a while, oops! Still working on Javascript, and I've learned some songs on my ukulele! I can play Zelda's Lullaby, and part of Hedwigs theme.
I also got Ocarina of Time 3D, and I'm playing that for the first time! I'm very excited, and so far it's been fun :)

I haven't written anything here, but I have been making updates! I think I've gotten rid of the status box on every page except for this one. And while I haven't been adding my initial thoughts for the new My Hero Academia epiosdes lately, I'm still watching them and still loving them!
November 21st 2022
Watched Disenchanted today! It was good, although I wish they had changed to animation after Giselle made the wish, I think it would have fit better. But it was a very nice movie!
Last week I was pretty unproductive, but I think this coming week I'll be getting back into the swing of things!
November 7th 2022
Feeling kind of lazy today. Still updating this though! I'm finally working on the status box on the left, I originally wanted it on every page, but then I realized I would have to update it on each individual page, which would be a pain. So I'm only going to have it on this page, and I'm going to take the empty version off of the other pages over time.
Got a new succulent today! It's small, but hopefully I can get to it grow like my other one! :D

Happy Halloween! Today was fun, I dressed up as Wednesday Addams and had a nice time grocery shopping with my mom.
Pages updated: index, MHA page.
October 10th 2022
Did a bit of tweaking to this page! I added some backgrounds to the dates to help seperate the posts, and redid the scroll box so I actually know how it works! I still haven't made enough entries yet for there to be anything to scroll, but it's there. Still haven't figured out how I want to get my status box on the left to work, so that's going to remain blank for now. I'd rather not have to manually change it on every single page, but I'm not really seeing how I could streamline it. I might just have it set as my status box on this page, and then have something else on the other pages that I wouldn't update as often.
September 26th 2022
I'm so excited for season 6 of My Hero Academia to come out this Saturday!! We're also getting more Spy x Family starting on the same day, and I'm excited for that too!
September 5th 2022
Been learning more about HTML, so that's good! I still need to look into javascript so I can make the status box on the side work how I want it to, but I think I'm going to wait a bit to do that. Right now I'm focusing on HTML and CSS.
August 8th 2022
I finally found out how to get this little scolling text box on my page!
I'm really happy with how my website's looking so far, I there's still some more things I want to figure out how to add, and I want to make it look a bit better, but overall I'm happy with it :)
