——ENTRY #4 - 09/09/25.
haha wow long time no see, huh? crazy how life comes at ya :,) not even a week after i posted my last blog entry/life update thing, i lost another family member and this one really. really fucked me up, i won't lie. to keep it short and sweet, i have not been doing well because of it and i've also had a lot put onto my plate concerning a lot of legal bullshit and whatever so. needless to say, this year has been a lot. as far as i know, we're finally done with everything and i can just, hopefully, grieve in peace.
now after that cowabummer of an opener, things haven't all been bad and my summer was pretty nice. i went out a lot more than i normally do, hung out and adventured with my cousin who i haven't really spoken to in years (even tho we literally live in the same town for now lol), and my friend and i had a few mall outings which, i'm in the middle of nowhere so going to the mall is a Trip to me and the one we went to had an arcade which had project diva.... which also kinda leads into my next topic?
i got really into vocaloid again. like really into it. i was Deep into vocaloid when i was in middle school but since then, i kinda fell of it. until now. i don't know what it was, maybe the comfort of falling back into something i used to love was just desperately needed but my god. it has consumed me. i'm not a figure collector and i don't plan to become one (even tho i have a few i've won at said arcade) because i'm kinda. picky? about it? idk but i Did end up ordering a figure from japan so like. this obsession and love for vocaloid has been a Force lol.
i've also slowly been getting back into making art. i did do artfight again this year and it was really fun but my god do i tire way more easily now than in past years. still, apart from artfight the art has been few and far between. i'm hoping to do linktober this year. i always start it and never finish it but maybe i'll actually do a good chunk of the prompts this year. maybe :,)
anyways, just wanted to give a small update that i'm not dead and i'm sorry for being gone so long. i have things i want to do for this site but, like always, i'm slow. i do appreciate the kind words and whatnot that have been sent even in my absence. take care <3
