Hi again! It's been a while since I've written here, about a month or two I think? Things are starting to come to a close with my work, and I'm so so eager to have a break for the holidays...

I've got some fun events planned for over my break, and working some more on this site will definitely be one of them! As you can see, the homepage is a bit of a mess right now, and I might just keep Zonelets around as a way of organizing the posts I've already made on here, but not as a template for my whole site.

I really want to learn how to make this site look how I want completely from scratch! I'm so grateful for the people who dedicate their time and energy to putting up html templates for free for people to use (and I won't lie I've found some really nice ones...), and I know this isn't really the case, but I find myself thinking of using a template now as cheating... But in some ways, working off a template and making it what you want can be another way to learn, too. I won't be taking credit for anyone else's work, obviously, and if something helps, it helps!

On another note, I plan on taking one of my friends to a really neat shopping center next month! It's one of my favorite places to find cool merch of anime that I like, and she's a huge kaiju fan, so I can't wait to show her all the Godzilla stuff this place has, too ^^

AND OH MY GOD, RIGHT, THE LAST TF2 COMIC CAME OUT EARLIER THIS WEEK!! I heard about it from said friend while I was out of the house and the whole ride home I was so excited to read it >< I think it wrapped things up in a pretty nice way, and while I wish some characters could have gotten more dialogue or interaction (coughcoughengiesniperdemoandmediccough), I really enjoyed it! I remember being a kid in middle school reading the comics for the first time and just staring at that empty seventh slot, and now I'm an adult finally getting to read the end. Younger me would lose their mind if they knew we'd be around to see the end of the story, haha

I've been thinking about resolutions or goals for the new year coming up, and I'm kind of mixed on it... I definitely want to spend less money on unecessary stuff like stickers, charms, or what have you, and fixing my sleep schedule, but there's other stuff I'm less sure about. I'm not in a huge rush to come out about being nonbinary, it's not really eating me up or anything. And even with all the things I've seen this year with the message "now's the only time you have! live as you truly are, you own't get another chance!" I still feel nervous about it.Typically younger people are more chill with making changes/ are more comfortable asking about it than older folks.

I might be getting my hands on a new computer soon, too. I've been using my current one for the last five years, and I'm realizing its battery life is even worse than I could've predicted... I was using it in bed to watch some videos and just surf online last week and I think the battery only lasted like 2 hours, even on a full charge... scary stuff... The model I'm looking at now is pretty recent, and anything that I'd try to do on it is gonna be a marked improvement compared to hwat I'm working with now. I'll finally be able to play some of the games I've always wanted to, without my machine sounding like a jet... Technology is amazing...

That's all for now! If I don't write again before the new year, happy holidays and have a safe new year!
