I'm Back

Also, it's my birthday.

Hey guys. It's, uh, been a while, huh? So basically, a few months back my computer just completely crapped out on me, and I haven't been able to afford a new one, so I've been without a computer. Hence why I've been gone.

So why haven't I been able to afford a new computer? Well, I dunno about anywhere else, but one of the fun things about living in the US is that sometimes it's just randomly decided that a diagnosis isn't valid anymore for no fucking reason, and then you have to spend all of your money on appointments to get re-tested, so that you can get re-diagnosed, so that you can get back on your anxiety meds. Just super fun. I'm still not back on them, for the record.

Er, anyway. I actually still can't afford a new computer, but my dad has gifted me a mostly-new, slightly-used laptop for my birthday. Yay! So I'm back and I'm gonna try to post as often as I can, but I can't make any promises. It's the middle of summer and I have a lot of stuff to get caught up on, after all. I will try and post regularly on tumblr at least!

Oh, and before I go, here's an incredible picture I took of Ben recently.
                                                                
Isn't he a beauty?

    1. I'm glad to be back! I've really missed this. Especially the whole having a working computer thing, I've REALLY missed that, haha.

      I've had my ups and downs (yesterday was horrible, for example, with the whole Kyoani thing) but overall I'm doing okay! Honestly, I'm more just...mad about the situation than anything. I only brought it up in this post because I wanted to bitch about it, haha. Anyway, I should be back on my meds by the end of summer, which is good. And speaking of which, we're having a pretty mild summer so far, which is also good, because last summer fucking sucked.

      Oh, and the Fruits Basket remake is still a thing that's going on, and it's been wonderful so far, so that also helps with things not being totally horrible :P

      I'm actually (finally) working on setting up a backlog of posts right now, so I'll be able to actually start posting more regularly once I get that done.

    2. Good to see you back! I was worried when I hadn't seen you update for a long time. If you do use Instagram, I'm always free to chat on there :)

      A mild summer is great, I'll definitely take that over the current winter we're having. Oh I didn't know they were remaking Fruits Basket! I've never seen it but know of the series. Seems nowadays is the era of remakes with all the Disney ones.

    3. Yeah, I didn't exactly intend to disappear for months without saying anything, but there wasn't much I could do about it. I don't use instagram, no. The best way to stay in contact with me would be through discord probably. It's how I stayed in contact with Iriye and the others while I was gone.

      Tbh I'd take any kind of winter over any kind of summer.

      You should watch it! It's actually my favorite manga of all time. It's a wonderful series and it's really special to me. I'd been lobbying for a remake/full adaption of the manga for YEARS, it was honestly a dream come true with they finally announced that it was actually happening *_*

      Yeah, anime's not quite as oversaturated with remakes as Hollywood is, but they're not uncommon either. They're usually more-true-to-the-manga adaptions.

    4. I do have a Discord, so we can use that :) Can I add you as a friend? My tag is Marzipanini#8313 on there (I think it's that, I'm not too familiar with the site).

      I actually don't watch much anime. Everyone seems to think I'm into it, but I'm more about 1990's/early 2000's cartoons. Digimon Adventure 01 is the only one I'm into.

    5. Mine is SlyBlue#9023, I sent you a friend invite :) yeah, I'm still not super familiar with the site either. I only joined for the magazine, which I still need to do a post about at some point...

      I know you don't, but I'd still recommend Fruits Basket!

  2. Hey! Glad to see you're back, I got a bit worried when you disappeared for a bit, but figured you were OK after seeing you around on the Aesthetica discord. I'm glad that you were able to get a new (in a manner of speaking) laptop, being without a computer would totally suck! It's kind of scary when you think about how integral these machines are to our daily lives, haha.

    Personal health is one of those things that come first before anything else, though. I hope your situation will improve!

      Yeah, it's sucked not having a computer, but getting back on my meds was more important. Which should happen soon! Honestly, some unfortunate stuff has happened lately, but I'm okay. Really.

      I'm also be in an especially good mood today, because I just got back from my grandparent's house, where they made me a special birthday dinner, and I got to hang out with my two favorite Good Boys™
