hihhiii!! amazing work on leo/need main story!!

but i would recommend just paragraph breaking it more to look more digestible! bc esp when i saw the huge blocks of text without pause for the tldr it still looks very intimidating and sometimes hard to read :'D

to separate between chapters more, in case paragraph breaks make that confusing, you can very quickly make your own image line breakers, anything as simple as opening the nearest art program and drawing one blue line will do!! ^-^

Thank you so much, anon! You're right, that text block was quite large. I've gone back and separated it into more manageable paragraphs.

I really like that line break idea!! I'll try making some fun ones when I get a chance, but in the meantime, I've changed the colors of the chapter sections to help them stand out more. Gives it a little variety, y'know? Hopefully that will help!

I must inform you all that my friend and I had a joint birthday party last night and it was American Girl themed (we are both in our 20’s but loved AG growing up!) and it was literally so much fun you have to see how we decorated my apartment!

and one of my friends is an art teacher and brought supplies to make stained glass! It was so cool.

wish you all could been there! <3

My coworker returned from her trip on my bday so my official birthday breakfast was gluten free Tim Tams brought from New Zealand and black coffee.

Breakfast of champions.

Balloon Art Day 9

Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 - Day 4 - Day 5 - Day 6 - Day 7 - Day 8

37. Toucan - Arthur

This one was pretty tough! A couple of the bubbles comprising his head popped while I was working on him, but I'm proud to say that I was able to get in there and replace them. The final product has one small issue, which is that a pinch twist at the top of his left wing deflated a bit. By the time this happened and I noticed it, I would have had to dismantle both wings to fix it, so I didn't! Luckily, it's only visible from one side, so I just didn't take any pictures of that side. In spite of that one detail, I'm very pleased with how this came out! The base that the yellow ring is supported by was improvised on the spot. The tutorial I was following constructed a base with small round balloons, but I don't have any of those. I could probably refine the base if I iterated the process, but I'm satisfied with what I came up with in the end. It does a fine job of keeping the sculpture upright, after all. In general, I'm extremely proud to have completed this build!

38. Pteranodon - Terry

I originally planned to be done after finishing that toucan, but a friend made a comment about how I should have named him Terry, and that inspired me to make something else to carry that name. For a quick and dirty build, done on a whim because of an offhanded comment, I'm really happy with this! I chose to use three different colors (four, if you count the white balloon used for the eyes) mostly because I didn't want to run out of one particular color too quickly. I figure that since it's unclear exactly what dinosaurs looked like, it's fine for me to take some creative liberties in depicting them. That said, for a decision as thoughtless as that one, the resulting aesthetic is nicer than I had expected. I've made a dinosaur that looks like a sunset! I hope that all of the impulsive decisions I will inevitably make end up being this visually appealing.

How do people find hosing that is a good fit for them? How do you make your space feel permanent and safe and long term, even/especially if you're renting?

All of this is said with the caveat that I'm very fortunate to be able to rent an apartment by myself in the city I want to live in, but I feel like I've spent the last 10 years of my life moving - from dorm to dorm in college, and then after college, moving into places only to realize I don't want to stay there long-term, which makes it very hard to feel settled. My current apartment is the best of the places I have recently lived - I like the location, it has a cool vibe and I've put a lot more effort into decorating it and organizing in a way that makes it pleasant and functional - but it still has many small issues and downsides which are really multiplying lately. My dream is to own my own place (for stability/space/ability to change things and DIY reasons), but that's not a realistic goal for the near future, so I'm torn on moving (again) or trying to make this place work for longer??

Basically I can't decide if this is a ME problem or a genuine issue...like, if I found an apartment where the pros outweighed the cons, would I feel good settling in and be able to live there long-term? If I bought a place, would I get fed up with it and want something different in a few years too? I hate moving, and when I moved into this place I really thought I would be here until I made a major change (eg until I bought a house or moved in with a partner) - it seemed like it would be a great fit and I hoped to be here for at least a few years, to be able to make the space mine. Now I'm 1.5 years in and I feel like I'm gonna end up moving again in 2024 because I can't see being here a whole other year, but I also don't want to move again!

Is this a me problem? Or do I just need to feel more stable/settled in my living space than the average person (probable) and I'm reacting to the combined stress of 10+ years of lots of moving and a serious mice infestation??

Before i go to sleep actually little trivia to share up

This year, to give myself a slight sense of accomplishment and reflection upon my days, I've picked up journaling a little. Not an actual diary on which i write up my thoughts, but just, a planner on which i write up some lists of important appointments or eventful things that happened that day. I keep track of my medications there. On empty days, i also note mobage event notes to remember when an event starts or ends or stuff like that, or a song i might have looped all day, or whatever i watched that day.

And to make it pretty, i decided to put a sticker on every single day once it's over, to decorate, and to use up some stickers i've never had the heart to stick anywhere. I try to pick stickers that fit the mood of the day.

Anyway i was looking through my stickers to mark today. Until i remembered that i have bunny themed stickers..... some of which. I didn't realize. Were also hot airballoon themed.

This is so perfect for today somehow. I remember i got the bunny stickers for Chikage but i didnt connect the hot airballoon dots...

A good day :)
