....it's not my fault I have ADHD and also jacked up my arm, so typing hurts now D:

Now I'm trying to remember what I actually did for the past month :T I always mean to update here and talk about what I've done and then I forget and then my memory fuckin' sucks and here we are, like always!!! So, here's a bit of a list to start~

• blew a bunch of dia on the jp xmas enstars events, because I wanted to support the newest unit and then Kohaku was one of the rate up cards for the Ra*bits event...which led to me pulling the rate up 5* for it, so I just went the whole way XD
• went harder than planned in the Shinobu & Mayoi xmas tour in engstars, because I love them and wife was doing it and we wanted to match uwu
• saw Say Anything live in concert!!!!!!!!!!! it was supposed to happen back in early May, but the lead singer got sick and the rescheduled show didn't happen until December, but it was so fucking worth the wait!!!!!!!I've now fulfilled a teenage dream and it was incredible
• made the mistake of going to the fountain pen store- I only walked out with one new pen, so I guess I'll count that as a win?
• date night with wife led to us finally checking out a Chinese restaurant we'd been meaning to go to, and we discovered that it serves hands down some of the best food I've ever had
  • extra note: went on a Friday night and were back on Sunday afternoon because it was that damn good, and also we just had to buy a jar of their chili oil
• one of our Joanns is closing, so wife and I went to see the deals...and left with some of the fabric we'll need to do Tales of Antique Double Face + a terrible plan (we're going to hand embroider all the designs on their outfits)
• got the Christmas tree up and decorated it...less than 24 hours before Christmas day, because life is hard, okay?
• Liz met some other local-ish enstars fans/cosplayers at Otakon and we finally managed to meet up with them irl!!! and it was a lot of fun, even if we had to drive to Virginia for it >:O
• successfully pulled demon Madara in CN enstars, so I could complete a goal: putting him in the Ringing evil phone MV with bridal lingerie Kohaku- and it was everything I'd hoped for ♥

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I also have a shit ton of pictures I meant to include with this entry, but tbh my arm still hurts a lot and I'm trying not to strain it too much...especially since I have to conserve all my strength for the upcoming jp event with AKATSUKI + Ibuki that I've been looking forward to since it was first teased back in early November. The song dropped yesterday and I've had it going basically nonstop since~~~

ANYWAY!!!!!!! Pictures next time??? I doubt I'll update before the new year, soooooo I hope everyone has a wonderful start to 2025!

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF UPDATE THIS MORE BUT!!!!! APPARENTLY I AM STRUGGLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay

I'm not gonna sit here and try to update the world on what I've done for the past uhhh fucking month because I'm in class and I've done a lot but last night!!! LAST NIGHT WE SAW SET IT OFF IN CONCERT AND IT WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some concert highlights:

• Scene Queen is so pretty and badass and even more fun live
• fucking amazing jump scare of them playing MEGALOVANIA and then DISCORD and tbh I had no idea I needed to hear them live but damn if it wasn’t the best damn thing
• NEW SINGLE PREMIER!!!!!! we were at day one of the tour so we were the WORLD PREMIER of Set It Off’s new single and it’s SO FUCKING GOOD YOU GUYS it features Scene Queen and it’s great *w*
• everyone there dressed like I was back at Warped Tour 2005 and I was LIVING for it
• everything was good live but I was particularly excited to hear Partners in Crime because it’s on one of the juhaku playlists I made and it just fits for mmmmm so many of my ships 🖤

Chi bought us all tickets and I am forever grateful because we had an amazing time ;w; I am ALSO having the same experience I had LAST time I went to a concert - which was Arrested Youth back in 2021 - called "I jumped around and was on my feet for hours and instead of being in hell pain I feel fucking incredible???"

LITERALLY

I wore fucking Converse I got in high school so they're absolute garbage on my feet but somehow, despite all the terrible things I did to my body, I feel fine? I feel better than fine?????? My back doesn't hurt at all; I'm having a lovely vacation from chronic pain and I don't know why!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I wish I could get this experience from anything besides 1) moshing at a concert for hours or 2) getting high, apparently.

ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!

( some pictures!!!!!!!!!!!! )

Semester ends in like two weeks and I have to catch up on so much stuff because of ADHD and my life is so fucking hard ;w; GUHBAI FOR NOW THO!!
