Hi! I made a blog. I was kindaaa curious to see how it worked, so I downloaded Zonelets andd...well here I am, huh!! Whoever's reading this, hello!! I think I could treat this as a sort of journal? I mean, not for the way personal stuff, obviously? But something. I don't journal a ton - I meant to start, but I kinda stopped...my forgetfulness is a curse. I don't even do that much in my day to day! How is it a simple thing is so hard to remember to do? I don't know, ask god or something!!!

I think it's kind of nice. To write like this. I don't suppose anyone is actually reading this...unless someone is. Imagine me looking over my shoulder surreptiously with that sentence. I don't think people are? But if you are...EEK! Get out! or whatever they say in those scenes where someone walks in on someone changing or something. Yeesh, am I sounding too 'quirky'? I'm not doing that on purpose, if I do. My friend told me once I sounded like an early Tumblr blogger trying too hard to be funny...

You know, theres a certain je ne sais quois to writing in html. I don't usually do this by default, but I do export my work to Ao3 as HTML, so I'm familiar enough... I know how to italicize and bold myself! And how to do paragraphs. Though I didn't know until now that these paragraph thingies were...well...paragraph thingies. You learn something knew every day! Speaking of days. I started mine at the still-dark hour of two in the morning...I've been awake, perhaps, a bit too long, but I'm accustomed. Going to sleep at normal times has me waking at irregular hours. They say that it's an evolutionary thing, some people being night owls and some being early birds, which I guess is neat. I'm meant to be hunting and instead I write about my characters being in love. What a productive use of my evolution as a person.

To quote my first 'journal', if I can find the site again... (curse you forgetfulness...) ..."It is strange to begin a journal. Hello world, I speak to you for the first time this day on this hour and this minute - and it is performative as much as it is a place for me to put my thoughts." Why did I write it like that XD!!! But it's still strange to think about. It is weird to start something new. It's rewarding, but weird. Today I played Cryptid Coffeehouse and some Animal Crossing New Horizons. I got all of Cryptid Coffeehouse's achievements (proud to say I have two games that I've done that with, my first being Lovers of Aether), and I'm playing a bit of Clicker Heroes and Blush Blush idly...I want to get back into Cookie Run: Kingdom, but it's way too much on my phone!! I take too many pictures of my cat... and save too much Deltarune fanart...

I did some Sudoku. Offline, as always. Cut your wifi and cellular when you play; you don't need to see ads for Killer Sudoku!! (Unless you're prone to mistakes like me and have to turn your wifi back on to get an ad to keep playing...) I'm having my current favorite for dinner, cheddar broccoli noodles! Though my stomach is growling now, so maybe I could get that dinner sooner rather than later...

I fed my cat and gave her water today. A simple task that one has to remind themself to do every day. Unburdened is the man who has no employer (that's me! though I guess it isn't...I am employed as a custodian...but that's only on Tuesdays and Thursdays) but he still must do his errands! I have too much free time. I'm writing almost every day! I plan to get at least 30k words in throughout the year, but maybe I could get in...say...50k...I'm an avid writer as much as I am an avid reader :3

People seem to think I'm older than I am if I don't tell them my age...just a thing I'm noticing lately. Lol. I guess I do have a lot of millenial mannerisms? Thank you millenial Youtubers I watched and my eldest brother who I love very very much (I told him about my works on Ao3 and showed him some writing...very fun to share, he liked it!). It's a bit funny, I never really think of myself as mature, but sometimes it's a bit of a "...do I act older?" moment for me ( .___.) which is very confusing! I think I'm gonna try to watch some movies or shows before the day's out...you know, just to pass the time. Earlier my cat cuddled up to me and it was very cute! I might be able to get more of that in...
