I AM FREEEEEEE I FINALLY FINISHED THE ICON POST I'D BEEN WORKING ON!!!! It's live at killiansicons and I'm very pleased with everything I made for it. Lotsa Trigun, because I, personally, wanted more manga icons......so I made them XD That pretty much sums up why I got into making graphics in the first place, lmao.

Besides that, I found a Trigun mood theme in the depths of LJ, so I don't have to make my own!! I know I'll never finish one - I started one in uhhhh 2009 and it's still not done - and I'm very impressed by people who can do it. Anyway. thx quaint_twilight for your contributions to the world :D

Last night, Pat and Liz did a bunch of work on Legato's coat, helped by projecting reference images on the wall. It was honestly super useful!!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH (I love nightmare Legato)


Genevieve ended up chasing the cursor across it at one point XD
Anyway, I should probably get back to class XD I have to work on a brief memoir of a specific experience, which is, uh, hard, for a person who has kept a journal for decades, somehow. And then right afterwards, Frecklez is coming over so we can practice for the gaming orchestra tonight. Violin buddies!!!!

I learned absolutely nothing from earlier this week and stayed up until 4 am last night watching anime XD Look, Liz and I have been enjoying enstars, so we were like "I wonder if the anime is as wild & crazy as the stories in the actual game" soooooooooooooo we had to watch it. And the answer is: yes, absolutely fucking yes, I've watched so much anime in the past 24 hours.

I want to put Eichi in a trash compactor; I love him so fucking much because he's my exact brand of terrible faves. He's like fucking crack to me XD I don't have any excuses for myself.

The orchestra stuff went well last night, but holy shittttt I'm out of practice. I'm also just not very good at sight-reading. I'm really looking forward to brushing up on my skills and playing video game music :D Also, one of my professors from last spring is also in it!!! So it was good to see him again.

uhhhhhhhhhhh I feel like I get thru a couple things and then forget what the fuck I'm doing because I'm sleepy. I'm going to try to either write or make graphics, instead of just curling up on the couch again.

OH SHIT I HAVE TO BUY MY KATSUCON BADGE STILL RIGHT FUCK

I sure did pass the fuck out basically as soon as I got home yesterday XD I have very little memory of the post I made yesterday; I was so fucking tired. I sat down on the couch, ate dinner, and fell asleep...and then woke up a few hours later to go to sleep in my bed.

ANYWAY. Apparently, I had some reading + homework to do before class today, which I realized at around noon when I finally rolled out of bed. It was all due at 1pm, so I had to scramble to get it done. I did it, though!!!

Class was good! There are only six of us (including the professor) and I'm by far the most talkative in it XD I appear to be the only one with any previous interest/experience in literary nonfiction, and the professor was very excited for that. Also, we're starting with memoirs, and apparently my 20 years of online journaling between GJ, LJ, and here is gonna come in handy~~

ALSO EXCITED TO HAVE SOME FRIENDS IN CLASS!!! I know two of my classmates from previous classes, probably because the creative writing major is so small, and one I thought one of them had graduated already, so I'm extra excited to see him again. It's a shame that the class is entirely online, but still!! Good to see people I know.

uhhhhhh I'm physically starting to feel better, but now that the worst of it is fading, I'm starting to realize just how not good I'm doing. I think I'm still struggling with brain fog from having covid over Christmas/New Years, and I didn't realize it until now because I spent most of the month sick >< I'm really hoping it clears up, because all my classes have a pretty heavy writing workload and being this out of it is gonna make that hard.

In some actually fun news, I'm joining an orchestra!!!! Baltimore has a gaming symphony orchestra, and I was invited to join :D Tonight's the first night!!!!!! I'd been wanting to play my violin again, but it's harder to do when it's just me alone in my living room, you know? Frecklez might be joining me as well - they were part of it in the past - but I haven't heard from them today...so maybe next time? We'll see~

I also gotta get on my college applications for transferring...the one for Hopkins is due March 1st and it's my top choice, so I wanna get it done before the semester picks up too much. I'd wanted to do it during winter break, but...sick........SO NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!

I've been doing that thing where I make icons. That's why I tried to do last night but whoa, I was way too distracted.

I WAS SO TIRED THIS MORNING OH GOD. I need to get more sleep. I kept dozing off in psychology and I love psych, so I was obviously just dead.

My hair still looks amazing, though :3

Music was canceled today, best thing ever zomg. I was done with classes at 11:20. WHOOT. I still have a violin lesson at 3 but that's like...a cat. Not a real class.

It was still warm today, but unfortunately it's super windy. And it's a cold wind D: Screw you wind >_>

The KH DSi bundle comes out May 30th and is going to be ~$250, so I'm going to start saving the second I go back to work in May. I need a DS and I will be sad forever if I don't get this. It's going to be so spiff :3 And I will have the Japanese version of 358/2 Days.

...it will probably end up being like Re:CoM all over again, in which I get halfway through and just stare at the pretty gay men. OH GOD, THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE SO GAY. I keep saying they should just package it in rainbows or some shit like that, it would make more sense.
