Recap and Retrospect

Hello to those reading this! 

It's been several months since I've last been here. It feels nice being back and seeing that basically nothing changed. There are some bad things about that, but it is still comforting despite the grime. 

 Anyhow. I haven't been able to write much, so I thought that maybe writing something now will help me get back into it. Too lazy to do the cool formatting and borders I did before, so for now, I will just write down several bullet points reviewing some basic stuff that has happened. 

•  My leopard gecko, Kalameet, is doing well. Sleepy, spoiled girl she is. She has turned into a cat, basically- if I leave her unattended on the couch, she will refuse to move from the spot she's been left in and will look around for me. When I am in her line of sight, she refuses to move even when I am clearly trying to lie back down with her.

• I  have gotten a new gecko as well- Grunt, a gargoyle gecko, named after the Krogan "tube baby" from Mass Effect 2. He's been here for a little over a week, and I am planning to upgrade his terrarium very soon. He is a silly boy. I think Kalameet is stronger than him though, she has more aura. Kalameet actually gave me the cold shoulder for an entire week because I brought him home!!! 

• I have been cordially removed from my latest friend group. I will not shittalk them or get into any specifics, this is not the place for that. I will say that it was a valuable lesson and that it has helped me realize some things about myself. Life has been steady and more peaceful ever since. 

• I've gotten a part-time job, as my studies are still suspended. It's been 5 months- if I'd stayed an unemployed freeloader I would have gone insane. This way I am still insane, but I am at least getting some money for it. I make tea and various drinks. It's something I like doing, although I have many issues with my job which make the experience less enjoyable... But alas. It is what it is. 

• I still draw occasionally. 

• I use Pinterest more now. A breath of fresh air compared to doomscrolling on Instagram, but I will say that I still cannot escape certain demographics and people whom I can't stand. 

•  I have developed a taste for energy drinks. Send help. 

• Valentine is coming over in about two months. Tweaking out over it, but not entirely. But still tweaking out. 

• As per usual, I find different ways to make my experience with public transport in the city more bearable. 

• Some of my personal issues seem to have calmed down quite a lot, which is good. Either I don't have time to commit my brain's computing power to them or they're just not there to begin with. In any case, a win for sure. 

I am honestly not sure what more to add here. I don't think I'll add anything, really. I might come back to posting more regularly... We'll see. For now, Spiral - out!
