Sometimes I wonder if I'm choosing the wrong category for these things when I write them. Anyways, this format is still pretty good. I think it makes things easier to read. Did I mention that I learned somewhere that Comic Sans (Undertale reference) is like ergonomic for reading or whatever? Like, it's more accessible? I don't know the validity of it, but I've seen some formats around here... and they can just be terrible to read... even the default ones!
TATTOOS:
Any who, some personal updates. I have three tattoos now: one on each arm and one on my sternum. I'm wondering if my pain tolerance is high or if my tattoo artist is really good/gentle at inking, because it does not hurt as much as people make it out to be. I'll ask him next time if he thinks I have a high pain tolerance, because he's the artist... I feel like he should know...
I started dwindling on activity in Maplestory after playing it for a little over a year straight (282 Luminous BTW) when I got my 2nd and 3rd tattoos (I got them on the same day). On top of the scheduling and responsibilities of playing the game, I had to take care of my new tattoos with washing and moisturizing.
If there's one thing about me that you (the reader) should know, it's that I have a small mental capacity for things. I'd chalk it up to OCD and the amount of time I take for any-and-all human activity exceeding normal proportions. In fact, it would not be remiss to say that I take at least 3x longer on performing human actions than the average person. Actions and the anxiety/stress that accompanies them severely reduces the total number of things I can effectively handle at a given moment. So, I gave up Maplestory.
I was talking with a friend last night about how even though I freed up a lot more time by not playing Maplestory, I didn't feel like I had more time. Vacuum leads to a space being filled. Although, I am not particularly aware of what that would be.
I still play games, of course. I just updated my profile to include Vermintide 2, League of Legends ARAMs, and Tetris. These have much less necessary commitment, so they work better for my brain. No need for dailies... ! I listen to music more actively again, I think.
Looking forward to the release of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. I also miss E3; I don't know what the new gaming showcase streams are these days. It was helpful when they were all in one event so I didn't have to tune into a bunch of separate days for each company.
I've also decided to take up a few academic courses in this shift. I'm learning AutoCAD 2025 at the moment (very relevant to my field), because a lot of job posts ask for it and I don't have any experience in it. So, I'm taking it upon myself to learn to add it to my résumé. My plan is to learn AutoCAD base, then AutoCAD Electrical, then any further study needed. I also saved stuff from MIT and Matlab that I plan to take (which will probably be in a few months). Electrical Engineering is super fun btw y'all should learn it, major in it, have a career in it, etc.
Starting off was a little difficult, because you need to pay for it, which I never want to do. Luckily, the courses are free if you have a library card. I also got a (or an?) one-year AutoCAD license through my school e-mail (which I hope I can use for a few more years before they force me out of their system for being a graduate, hehe huhu). And, I spend my mornings watching a few of the lecture videos, so my progress isn't necessarily the quickest but it's going. I have loans due. Isn't that crazy? I applied for a change in my repayment plan, but due to some weird thing with the U.S. courts happening RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA, processing might be slow. I literally have no money and no job (grrr), so I can't really pay off that first payment, so I'm a little worried about receiving warnings for that if/when I miss the deadline. I'm praying my repayment plan changes and I have no payments due for the time being. My one gripe is that getting a job should be easy and they should help you get one. "Sell yourself" is so evil. I'm just a person doing their best... I'm not exceptional. Sorry I don't fweaking stand out... whatever.
I met up with some friends recently. I think I've only been in social gatherings once since May, which was this month. Non-walkable cities are the bane of my existence. I hate driving! I just wanna walk, but everything is so far, and they make you feel bad for not wanting to drive. Don't conform!
Thank you for reading. Have a good day, everyone. Happy Autumn season!
