okay, so welcome to my microblog! i said i was going to start working on it, but i never did. so, screw it, i decided to just make a naked page. hopefully eventually this page is actually properly formatted and looks nice. but for right now, you're looking at a website in almost its rawest form. how intimate!
splatfest always makes me feel somber because everyone is posting their teams and wins and stuff and im just always alone. everyone on twitter is so much better than i am so i can't play w/ them, and like 2 people i know have the game haven't even unlocked anarchy yet
ive been using adobe illustrator for so long that the interface is beginning to make me nauseous. is this what working an office job is like? my laptop screen hasn't been anything but adobe illustrator for the past 5 hours, and my second monitor has been almost exclusively used for looking up how to do something in adobe illustrator. its really beginning to take a toll on me, but im 2/3 of the way done
midterms are here, which means that a lot of things are happening at once now. i have so much work i need to do, not just limited to school. its just so much, im constantly forgetting things such as my purse.
design class is the worst. im horrible at coming up with ideas, and im having these major projects. these shouldn't be an issue at all, but they are becoming an issue because of my horrible habit of putting everything off until the very last minute. and it just makes things worse in combination with other classes, where i have to read 100 pages of a book in 2 days. and once again, there are still things happening outside of college stuff.
at least i think splatfest is this weekend, but i have no idea what team i want to pick.
one of the weirdest things to think about when choosing a new notification sound is considering the possibility that you will be hearing this sound right before learning your friend is attempting suicide, or that a family member has died. it isn't something i like to think about, but sadly something i have to consider.
i sound i chose to set my notification sound to is the Inkopolis Plaza News Arpeggio for a few reasons. first of all, for the reason i just explained above, it isn't too offensive while sitll having a personality. it also isn't that distracting while still being noticable. it will grab my attention, but if it went off in public it would blend much more into the environment.
my previous notification sound didn't accomplish any of these things as far as im aware. it would scare me whenever it went off and people would look at me funny whenever it went off, even my own family. what a failure of a notification sound.
i frequently think about how awful i am at comforting people when they're distressed. i try, i really do try! but i just am not that good at it. if someone was going to kill themselves and i was the only person who could stop them, i feel they likely wouldn't survive for 10 minutes. and that both makes me sad and stresses me out...
i noticed that ever since i made the post yesturday about wanting to buy a new phone, whenever my phone is on the hose it charges much slower than before, sometimes to the point of draining quicker than charging even while im not using it. while i wouldn't put it past apple to actually make my phone charge slower suddenly, its more than likely because im using a new outlet.
i think if i was to get a new phone i would get like an older android, but im worried about updates. if i had to keep an iPhone though i would get an iPhone se
basically i don't want to spend more than $150 on a phone, but the most i will spend is $300, maybe $350
my discord client now has a persistent sidebar showing people in my friends list who are online. one of the features of this sidebar is that it groups people in the same voice channel, something i don't want to know. thankfully you can disbale this. however, today discord made it so it still shows a little speaker icon next to the avatar of someone in a voice channel.
when will this ever end.
there is just too much happening right now. it feels like any second the world will stop. ive been listening to The World's Canvern 1, which i found through the Super Dram World 3 ROM hack for Super Mario World. but right now im pooping in the gender neutral school bathroom.
