Instead of homework, I, uhhhhhh.........new layout XD I was so inspired by my idiocy in the recent event that I had to make a layout inspired by it (and also I made an icon from this art that I really like, so now I can make it my default).

uhhhh

Liz and I went to Denny's and I was gonna work there but it was so cold that we basically ate and ran home, so that's on me I guess >< I've had a LOT of coffee and booze and I'm still at square fucking one.

Anyway. I still have some problems to iron out in this layout - like the random link I can't hide in the top left corner - but overall I'm quite pleased with it. I also somehow got most of the way through it before I realized it was almost entirely trans pride colors but WHATEVER. It's almost pride month anyway XD

god I'm tired but I'm gonna try to do something before I go to bed ;w;

I GOT ALL FIVE COPIES OF KOHAKU FROM THE DOUBLE FACE EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, my mental health is doing great, thanks for asking XD

This is actually just a very brief post because I'm procrastinating final projects and stressed about it, but I wanted to be excited about my success in my stupid phone game I'm now addicted to. I got him right before the Say Anything concert we went to last night........which ended up being postponed >< It was announced shortly before we got there, so we drove all the way down to DC for nothing :T

Other than that, there's been other shit going on, but I know I'm using this as a way to put off school works, so I'm gonna go and HOPEFULLY get shit done.

drags hands down face uggggggggggghhhhh this is the continual "I'm super behind on homework" rant where I do nothing to fix it

okay no that's sorta a lie, I'm trying to write currently but it's so fucking slow going and I have class in an hour and it's not even the homework for that class so life is just really hard, okay

could it be made easier by me not playing enstars 24/7? uhhhhh no then my depression might catch up with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

featuring her accidentally attempting to destroy my iTunes library
Anyway. I dropped one of my classes, because it fucking sucks and I don't technically need it. I just could not take going to screenwriting class anymore :T I also worked out the shit I need to do for my capstone portfolio, so I'm gonna spend this weekend putting together the first draft of it for my professor to look over. Other than that, I still need to finish a short story for workshop next week, and maybe not just reskin a fanfic again XD

Uhhhhhhh very unashamed to say that I stayed up until 2 am last night - despite having an early morning psych appointment today! - so I could see the preview of the upcoming ALKALOID x Crazy:B event, because Liz & I have lost control of our lives re: everything to do with enstars. I don't fuckin know. It's taken over XD

When I'm not just like, nonstop playing the stupid fucking merge game that's currently happening in engstars, I've been reading basically every story I've managed to unlock in English and select ones in Japanese, since that takes me...way longer........ I'm upset at how well it's written. Like, real talk, I barely read anything in Love Live; most of my knowledge of characters is gleaned from aesthetics and my wife filling me in. But that's mainly because it wasn't nearly as engaging as enstars is. I don't have enough smart words to explain all of what's drawn me in (and I think I'm maybe rambling in this entry to procrastinate homework lmao), but just know that I'm having a really good time.

Oh!! I also found a new last.fm widget to put in my profile, finally replacing my old one that broke like, a decade or so ago... So that's nice~

My entry titles suck XD

But I am quite tired. It's been a long weekend into the week and I am pushing through, the best I can. Next week is spring break and I cannot wait to get a chance to play catch up.

In better news, I've continue to enjoy enstars~ I've been playing engstars and jp simultaneously (because I have an extra phone) and having too much fucking fun with all the big plot stuff that's happening in jp right now...I'm learning to like Knights because so much is going on with them XD They're a fucking mess and I could not STAND Leo at first, but between his really good stage play actor + reading more stories with him in them, he's growing on me, like mold.

Also, writing music with his own fucking blood in Checkmate was raw as hell and also the angst is just *chef's kiss* so I guess I like him now. His obnoxious autistic swag has intrigued me ;D

ALSO ALSO excited for the official English subs for Element, aka staying up until 1 am to watch 12 minutes of anime every night is definitely not at all contributing to my fucked up sleep schedule XD So worth it. I will watch this story every single time it's adapted, which is why I'd also love to see it as a stage play OwO plz give me moooooooore I love the five eccentrics.

uhhhh I'm supposed to be critiquing someone's poetry in class but I'm lost in enstars I'm sorry to everyone who needs me to do responsible things I am the worrrssssttttttttttt

Instead of doing homework, I'm working on a new tumblr theme, which is rich considering I don't even use tumblr super often; I'm mostly active on here. But somehow I got lost looking at themes, and now I'm most of the way through a new one.....

OOPS.

Anyway. I did fill out all the extra financial aid stuff for Hopkins, so fingers crossed that keeps trucking on!!!!!!!

....also, I'm almost certain that I've used this title (or something very similar) for an entry before, but I'm not going through 20 years of blogging to find it XD Just know that I am a creature of habit, and sometimes, I've only changed so much since I was a teenager~

seriously tho I gotta do homework

aka, I'm doing what I swore I'd never try to do again: make a mood theme. Liz told me about moodthemeinayear and I really like how they break it up into sections; it feels way more feasible. Of course, it started at the beginning of the year, so now I gotta play catch up, but I have homework + katsucon is in a couple days, which means I have plenty of time to do it XD


of course it's fucking Knives & Legato; expect nothing less from me~
I plan on coloring them later, but I'm trying to catch up...I mean, I'm also jumping ahead as I find random manga panels, but that's a me problem. I gotta make myself a reference PSD for coloring them though, since I used pretty much the same colors for all the icons I made...

ANYWAY. I made the mistake of downloading jp enstars because....I hate myself, I guess? I dunno!!!! I just wanted to play the newer songs and now I'm in hell, because the upcoming event features Mayoi and the event boost cards are fucking gorgeous and gacha games are so fucking dangerous for my impulse spending problems XD Seriously though, I've been having fun with the actual rhythm part, but I like having pretty cards (and also that dopamine hit from pulling the random box!!!).

Katsucon is fast approaching and I have to do extra homework ahead of time so I don't have to work on it at the con itself, but uhhhhhhhh focus is hard when I could be glued to Photoshop making this mood theme XD

my brain is mush because I'm hungry and doing homework that's challenging bluhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

anyway

uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OH YES!!! YESTERDAY WAS MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! We celebrated by sleeping in, playing video games, working on cosplay for katsu, and going out for dinner :D It was very low-key, which was what they wanted after the all the shit we've been doing lately. I'm glad it was nice for them *w*

Other than that, I have a bunch of homework due today and tomorrow that I've been ignoring in lieu of playing enstars, so like....it's biting me in the ass and that's on me but also fuck me I have so much to do XD

I'm gonna make dinner so I stop being so brain dead that I can't think of what I wanted to say :T baibai

I expected my Japanese homework to take a chunk of time because it was a lot of workbook pages but oh my goddddd it took legit 12 hours of on and off - but tbh mostly on - work. I'm so tired of writing hiragana. I suck fucking ass at almost all the kanji I learned today - LOOKING AT YOU, 曜 - and I want to never look at it again.

Shame that I have a presentation in class tomorrow and a final next week XD

However, Liz gave me a mnemonic to help me remember the kanji for 9: it looks like someone on their knees getting ready to take 9 inches

And you know what? It fucking does XD Just look at it!!!!! 九

tbh it looks even worse in my textbook because the font it uses gives it a whore-ish curve and yeah I'm fucking tired but it's still damn funny, okay XD
