and our cherry blossom "tree" is in bloom!!!!!
aka, cherry blossoms for the cherry blossom boy ♥ Pat, Liz, and I went to Taco Bell for dinner, but first I had to take a bunch of pictures of Kohaku with the cherry blossoms. It's basically a glorified stick with a few smaller sticks coming out of it, but maybe in a decade or so it'll grow into a full tree :D

( more pictures of Kohaku-san under here! )

Also, today is Pat's cats birthday!!! Yes, their birthday is April Fools Day XD But we went to Petsmart to pick up some toys and treats for them, plus a new laser pointer for Lumos. Pat picked out some freeze-dried fish, and reactions were mixed:

• Dennis: HOLY SHIT BEST THING EVER!!!!! this may in fact be the best treat he's ever received- maybe the best food ever????
• Lily: no shits given- she barely cared about it or the freeze-dried chicken + catnip mix Pat got as well...which tbh is classic Lily behavior XD
• Lumos: licked the freeze-dried fish like it was a lollipop, before giving up on it. hers was eventually given to Dennis, which he appreciated

Lumos did enjoy her new laser pointer! It was her party favor- except we didn't have a party with all of them, because there would have been a fight XD It was nice tho!!! It's always good to get the kitties new stuff~

And then we went to gong cha and got XL bubble tea again, because I have no self control and bullied everyone else into it. I mean, it wasn't hard to bully them; we all love bubble tea. tasty tasty :D

Now Liz and I are farting around watching YouTube videos about dumb Hallmark movies~ I've been playing some more of the enstars merge game - I got one copy of Tetora already!! - and Liz is playing the new Madoka game. I hope it works out for them, since tbh they were quite upset when the last one shut down. Apparently the story was really good, so they were sad to see it go. But it just launched, so they're getting in at the beginning.

Shinobu get!!!!!!


I now have the complete set of edgy shotas!!!! :D

also hello hello, I once again got very little sleep so I'm doing great. I'm not usually awake at this hour, unless I didn't really sleep ;w;

yaaaaawn

idk what's up with my sleep schedule but this means I was awake early enough to see Pat's cats being cute!!!


Dennis came to inspect the gate (before eventually running away because I wasn't his dad)

( a couple more cat pics under here! )

Anyway, I'm either gonna nap or do chores...we'll see. Probably nap XD

OR I'll record more MVs in enstars to make icons from...idk exactly what I wanna do yet tho :T But I just know there are some I've been meaning to do, and I can't remember.

ALSO ALSO, HALLOWEEN RENDEZVOUS STARTS IN CHINA TONIGHT I'M SO PUMPED FOR MY JACKASS SLUTTY WEREWOLF TO BE A DICK ALL OVER AGAIN ;D

BABY FISH IS FINALLY MIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!
JP is passing out 10 scout tickets like fuckin' candy this week because it's Welcome Festival, and today there was a guaranteed 5* 10 scout!!!! I've wanted this Kanata for soooooo long; he goes with my favorite Madara card (sad wet boy) and he's just really pretty in general *w*

SO THAT WAS NICE!!! Especially since I got a third copy of Kaoru's first feature scout, something I have never asked for but see all the time anyway. Such is gacha life!

In less fun news, I was completely unable to sleep last night. I felt like ass, so that meant...no sleep for me??? I have no fucking clue what's wrong with my body. So, instead of laying in bed staring at the ceiling for hours, I got my laptop and made icons XD I finished sets for ic_animated and iconcolors :D I'm honestly very pleased with all of them...the challenge at ic_animated was unique in a fun way, and I used all of one screencap from all those YuGiOh episodes I downloaded. I'm, uh, good at things~

I did end up taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon...me and Lumos had a cat nap on the couch together ♥ I still don't feel great, but that helped somewhat.

Speaking of Lumos...I have some very cute pictures of her to share!!! Now that we've separated the cats in the house - Lumos on the first floor, Dennis and Lily on the second and third floors - she's starting to come out of her shell again!!! She just doesn't get along with Pat's cats and it's been stressing her out ;w; But I'm glad to see she's doing better!!!!!


she's rolling on the floor again!!! laying on her back like a weird, precious baby without a care in the world ;w;

( click thru for a few more pics of her! )

So that's all very good ;w; I'm just happy that Lumos is happy. She still keeps trying to come upstairs with us some nights, but I think the disappointment at not being able to sleep in our room is far less than the stress of being around the other cats all the time. I think once we're out of the adjustment period and she forgets about the upstairs, it'll be just about perfect :D

I'm also at risk at just rewatching all of YuGiOh, but that's unrelated to Lumos- tho she did seem quite interested in the dub when I was screencapping an episode XD She has the worst taste, I swear...it's very cute.

Final flex for this entry: I managed to perfect combo Ruby Love in engstars again!!!!! I did it during the event and just made peace with knowing I'd be giving up that saved autoplay, but apparently not!!!! I did it again! thx graduation tour for making me give it a shot~~~


Yuzuru is here to support me :D
