໑ CATCHING UP
29/07/25
At the time of writing this i dont have a blog page up, but i figured writing some plaintext blog entries while i set everything up wouldnt hurt nobody :p that way i dont forget what ive been up to which i admittedly have a tendency to do. I didnt remember half of the shit i had written about when backreading my blog entries!
Im gonna give a quick tl;dr of what ive been up to in this year long hiatus from webmastering: im no longer in contact with ANY of the people i have talked about in the previous blog entries (My commie, the french guy, the transsexual etcetcetc) asides from my cousins, got back into contact with some old online friends, im talking to a local animation studio (employment arc soon?), i went to a punk fest in july i think? i went to prague for a school trip, partied some, bought myself a 3ds, graduated, changed my name legally and and got my 1rst t shot, took my Univerity Entrance Exams and got into uni.... yuup. Im well on my way to start uni atm.
Ok now time to elaborate:
I actually began drafting this entry before i even took my University entrance exam (which was like back in may? can you tell i definetly DONT struggle to commit to multiple shit at once). I was rly rly anxious abt how it would go. Im a slacker at heart, and admittedly i didnt put much work in during the school year. I did great, keeping that in mind, but i felt rly under prepared going into it.
My first exam was my 1rst language spanish test. I didnt even have time to finish it!! still passed tho, which im happy with. Did great in my english and design exams. Fumbled a little in my spanish history test but i still passed. Drawing exam was fine but i was ROBBED in my Artistic Expression test. Which im fine with. I got a good enough grade to get into the uni i wanted (which had been a mayor concern of mine because the entry marks just kept going up !! went from a 5 to a 10 in the span of two years... crazy...
Another concern i had was getting all my transition bullshit sorted before i began uni. I got my name legally changed right before getting ready for my University Entrance Exams, and i just recently had my first t shot so!!! it's going well. There's more id like to get sorted- i NEED to look into STPs bc i cant keep going into the toilets at male public restrooms to piss. It feels like im gambling every single time. Also figure out trans tape id like to bind my chest but it honestly doesnt bother me that much- they're not THAt huge and ive been wearing the same size sport bras since i was 12 so theyre p concealed but i know they'll bother me when i move out for uni and sign up for the gym (which i do plan on doing lol)
I've been taking steps to have more whimsy and fun online and in life in general. At some point last year i deleted my instagram account- iirc shortly after Meta started pulling out their AI integration over there. There's a lot i could say about AI and how its developed in the year ive been MIA alone- there's a lot i could say about current world events. I think it's part of what's made coming back to working on this site hard, but i'll talk about all that some other time- lord knows im not happy with how this year has been going.
At the moment I am trying to distance myself from tech giants as much as i can. I need to look into better email services than gmail and i'll probably make the switch to linux soon. Im just terrified of accidentally doing irreperable damage to my feeble 2017 laptop. She's holding on like a beast, though you may remember at the beginning of this year i tried doing this rly ugly rebrand bc her touchpad was degenerating to the point of being unusable lol. Its fixed now and by that i mean i just deactivated it. Im a mouse warrior now.
Speaking of stuff I've been using my computer for (lol srry i need to bring this up somehow) Back in september i got called in for a free greasepencil cleanup course at a local animation studio!! Id done a few courses with them in the past, and they seemed to dig what i could offer. Im currently in a discord server (LOL) with them where they give us assignemts... I havent done any... I will lock in after art fight pinky promise. Ive been trying to animate more in the meantime but im too embarassed to show them any of the shit ive been making lmfao
A lot of what Ive been doing online has been centered around Toyhou.se and commission work. It's not too interesting. I did get back in contact with an old friend group of mine who i havent rly talked to at all in (checks notes) 4 years?? and back in contact with ANOTHER friend of mine after two years of not talking to each other lol. Its been fun to catch up and brainstorm bs related to the ocs we made together back then again lol. However before that happened i did join an rp group... my first truly dedicated serious like literate level rp group... crazy shit. i didnt get to do much w/it bc it shut down lol but it'll b back up eventually apparently. Im not sure if I'll post any of my roleplay related writing here- Im not sure how id go abt it... but i do like writing and ive got um... smirks... plans... i might join more spaces like that but idk I always fluctuate between hating how i write and laying on my stomach typing on my laptop going lalalalalala as i write the corniest shit known to man. it is how it is.
I've gotten to do a lot of stuff i'd been meaning to do. Get back on working on this site and graduating and getting my transition bs together for starters, but i also bought myself a 3ds which as silly as it sounds has been sort of a lifelong dream of mine lol. I've always been in love with the system, but i never was allowed to own one myself- my parents never liked video games lol. I also got to go to a punk fest last year!! I would've loved to go this year as well but the previous one ruined friendships LMFAO. It's the reason i'm no longer in contact with my commie and all the ppl i knew bc of her which was um... all of my friend group. It's for the best. A lot of the social interaction ive had irl has come from my classmates and my cousins. It's not as depressing as it sounds, ive been having a blast. Im partying harder than ever, though that's honestly not saying much. But I'm rly excited to move out and meet new ppl in uni!
i went to prague and i wish that i remembered more abt the trip. it's such a pretty city. i do have pictures to show, but maybe i'll do so in the photography page whenever i set that one up? i went to lisbon recently too... uhmmmmmmm i know ive been to more places - Seville and Madrid for school trips. I dont think i was able to go out on vacation last year because my grandma was staying home w/ us. I cant remember lol. This is what i mean when i say my memory is shit
i think thats abt all i have to share. ill update this whenever i remember
