Well, I published my thoughts on what happened two weeks and change ago. I *really* did not want to write that blog post, but I felt that I had to. It's very embarrassing for me, but because it's also very depressing, I still feel bad for that artist's loss.

Apparently, some don’t like the thing where images are presented as a horse tornado.

How can you tell if a bad singer is at your door? They can’t find the key and don’t know when to come in.

We’ll see what the Cleveland is like.

My April? Quite sad. But let’s not discuss that yet. Instead, Yuyuko. #東方Project #touhou

One thing a music teacher at my elementary school told us that sticks with me today for some reason is that singing with rhoticity doesn't sound good for most genres of music. I know it sounds absurd.

I did a bunch of work on my website relating to the blog on it.

Nice.

No, my website does not do anything special for April 20. Or June 9. Or that other day in June.

Turns out, if you sit and force yourself to write something at almost midnight, you can do it.

I went to this year’s #VCFEast. This year, I spent a lot of time looking at the Japanese laptops exhibit and the malware exhibit. And that’s how I started playing Touhou 12.

…?!

I wish I had said something to that artist earlier. But I said something now in a reply to one of their artworks. Yes, it's 12 AM right now.

I'm gonna try to see if I can write the blog post (without the B in "blog") tonight. It's 11:21 PM right now.

I took a look at a 6-hour-long Geometry Dash level. Like a 10-year-old watching a video about the future of the Solar System, I felt some intense dread reading about what it was based on.

I did not think I would add a 55-minute-long song to my music library today. That’s longer than some albums I have in my music library.

I went down the typography rabbit hole again. It’s a pastime of mine at this point.

Well, you bet I did this. (Just a heads up: this is a screenshot of the Instagram page of a politician I know most of y’all, myself included, hate.)

I had to record a sorta podcast for a school project. Will I ever make it public? No.

Apparently, writing two essays for one class takes a really long time. It’s 11:55 PM as I’m writing this.

I still plan to write about that. But I’m gonna have to change what I want to put in that post.

That artist’s page is now a place where I can go “aww, how cute!” one moment and then cry the next. I’m glad that they’re back(ish) now.

What I like: free and open-source software. What I don’t like: people who shame others for not using free and open-source software. There’s a website I found a while ago that’s a resource to help learn Japanese, but the people who run it seem like the kind of people who use Trisquel of all distros.

That artist’s page is now a place where I can go “aww, how cute!” one moment and then cry the next. I’m glad that they’re back(ish) now.

When you interact with a particular circle for a long time, there’s some characters that you will recognize.

I changed my display name on both here and YouTube.

Retweets are fun.

*Trauma will make you bargain with shapes that never fit. It’ll treat love, desire, and care as rewards for being good, easy, pliable, quiet. It’s never worth it. Be the freak you are. Nothing is equal to this freedom.

Oh, they’re back…! …ish. I did see that they expanded their Instagram bio a little bit.

I do not know why this hit so close to home for me. I genuinely do not.

The more I think about what to write about that, the more icky that idea seems. So I’m tempted to throw out my draft and start over.

That artist seems to be staying active on Instagram. They even followed me on there.

I’m still trying to figure out how QRTs work on here.

Apparently, I follow 600 accounts on here now.

One day, a biology teacher at my school looked almost exactly the same as some kid who dressed like him. Must have been mitosis.

Maybe I’m worrying too much about them. I could not sleep last night.

Here’s a drawing I made of the Minecraft Wiki’s mascot! It’s Minwi!

So I tried this out. See if you can name all 49 of these!

わたしたちが歩いていくこの道が、 歪みきってたとしても、進むしかないなら。 嘘にまみれたって、生きていく道を選んでも、 わたしには、それでもいいんだ。 精一杯の、笑顔を、見せてよ。 …嘘でも、いいから。 …Whoops! I kinda spaced out there!

I’m going to try to compile my thoughts on what happened. I am going to hate every minute of writing that.

It feels nice to be back in Eastern Time.

Two years ago today, the Nintendo Network was discontinued. The first Minecraft-style splash I added to my website references this. I have it set so that that splash is the only one that appears on April 8. This is roughly what my site looked like in December 2024.

…

Well, that’s a super depressing bit of news to wake up to.

My main Animal Crossing: City Folk town is now 9 years old.

Turns out, the Windy City is quite windy.

There’s some people I keep seeing in comment sections of artworks posted on here.

Recently, I changed some stuff with the Twitter section of my social media links page. After all, Twitter is Claus, while X is the Masked Man. That’s a thing someone said somewhere.

That’s a messed-up April Fools’ Day joke.

For April Fools’ Day, one artist I follow on here posted as if two of their OCs were posting. I loved that.
