something very soothing and emotional and reflective about being safe and in the literal darkness

missing an old friend who i never got to reconnect with. not sure what there is to miss, but i guess there's something, because i feel it. i hope he's resting easy

i don’t remember the context, but i saw someone use the phrase “glitz and glamour” somewhere online, so i have been reassured that it is a thing

this will be the year i bake persimmon bread and persimmon cookies and whatever else you can make with persimmons

sometimes i end up saying my l’s like r’s (bcoz of japanese) and my f’s like p’s (bcoz of korean) while i’m trying to speak spanish 😭😭

ok not to flex but i went to the dentist and they didn’t explicitly tell me i need to floss more often 😎 🦷 ✨

oh i actually didn't make a mistake. nice

i am lovable and everything is fine 😵‍💫

was fun understanding this pun (or at least i’m pretty sure i did) of pudrir (to rot) and rupias (rupees) combined to make pudrias, a currency that, instead of making you richer, makes you lose money

haven’t completed my anki reps the past few days so they’ve been accumulating, but i’m doing em while i wait for my order at starbucks and this place is so busy i think maybe i can be catch up on my anki cards before i get my coffee

this is me after spin class 😵‍💫 🚲

i love my loops

i want to be more articulate and audible and confident in conversation, and i think i’ve finally been able to notice what my voice is like in the moment and breathe in to have the power to both speak louder and complete my sentences

picked up a book about sewing clothes n i am inspired. but like, with what time am i gonna do this? i should be studying more and figuring out my life in any spare time

this is me before spin class 🧍🏻‍♀️🚲

holyyy the drink in my hand has 50 grams of sugar

thinking about how on my study abroad it took just about the entire one month trip for my classmates to warm up to me. how do i change this about myself

“glitz and glamour” is a phrase, right? coz i just found out “glitz” is a portmanteau of “glamour” + “ritz.” so i guess “glitz and glamour” technically means “glamour and ritz and glamour.” which is twice as glamorous

cardio kickboxing instructor was so passionate about tae kwon do and so skilled in it that it made me feel sad that i don’t have something like that in my life

i want it to feel like game night more often. i should host again huh

maybe i have rbf or something similar

i want a protein bar

once again ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i also want to order in spanish at restaurants and talk to people n stuff but scary scary

my friend complimented my other friends and possibly my overall taste in friends. unexpected but nice

i think i might eventually try harder to get a pal/europe version of animal crossing wild world (since it supports spanish)

going to try to try cardio kickboxinggg

a schedule will fix me

had not thought about the old group chat in months but my friend brought it up and now i miss it !!!

there is a friend i have that i KNOW is just messing with me but i can never figure out how to banter back with them and i feel so awkward and it’s tough

it’s chill it was enjoyable and nice and just a once in a blue moon kinda meetup anyways so yeah all good

TRYING TO ENTER A PRE EXISTING GROUP DYNAMIC LIKE WAIT I WOULD FIT HERE I PROMISE JUST LET ME SHOW U BUT I CANT BCOZ THE WANTING ITSELF MAKES IT ALL WRONG

i think i have finally gotten to the point where i can stop seeking out older brother/older cousin vibes from older guys i wanna be friends with. got to understand that they may just be expecting regular friend vibes

totally forgot about language transfer youtube videos. maybe i should work on listening to that playlist again

hardest part of phantom hourglass is the yelling. had to go to my mom for assistance twice

reading the orv novel it’s like ohh all the recurring details in fanart make sense now lol

though the ds lite is so portable this is cancelled out by the parts of phantom hourglass where you have to scream

half the time my sense of humor is just being ditzy and misinterpreting things for the bit. i'm not trying to convince people of it so i don't play into it for a long time or anything, but i definitely do it here and there in passing comments

on the topic of humor and connection, i recently met a friend of a friend, and we got along unexpectedly well. i had been feeling bored and dull that day but then he was friendly and full of energy and suddenly i was, too. right away he was making jokes and i found myself having fun bantering back

hmm yeah it’s becoming even more apparent to me that being awkward and shy and stiff at big group social events is not good

it drives me crazy that the question "can you love someone without understanding them" is such a core part of orv

orv novel really picks up around chapter 360 huh

been away from home and forgot abt my anki cards so it’s time to do them at 1am before day resets at 4

uji matcha more like boujee matcha

very cool every time the spanish vocab i’ve learned from my flashcards shows up in phantom hourglass or in the youtube playthrough i reference when i’m lost

you can tell i’m getting tired when i stop adding apostrophes to all my contractions. if i were on my laptop id prob still be adding apostrophes but on mobile it’s an extra step, yk? but good night frfr

i have more thoughts on he orv movie but tbh they’re not that notable, and i think i should sleep and after sleeping i don’t think ill feel motivated to yap more so i believed this closes my orv movie comments. unless some strong opinion comes to me

started legend of zelda phantom hourglass in spanish on my ds earlier tonight (my first time playing in any language) and hehe it's so cute. it’s a tad bit nostalgic not just bcoz of the old ds graphics but also bcoz i can only understand half of what i'm reading. just like playing pokemon as a kid

i watched the orv movie!! with friends no less!!

will i feel different?
