After being inactive for a very long time, the idea of coming back to the blog with all the weeks and weeks of backlog content seems far too daunting to tackle. The farther out I go from my last post, the more it builds. I worry about how I'm going to incorporate all the lost time; mini logs, long sprawling posts, just starting from scratch? 

I decided mostly on the latter. 

Hi, its been awhile and I'm sorry for that /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Let's start with the big things...

Finished junior year of uni, barely scraped by with my grades, moved back in with my Mom. I'll be staying with her for awhile. I'll miss being in an apartment down in Redmond...but working with the school's housing department was much too difficult to make comp'ed dorm living worth it. My Mom is a major source of joy in my life, and it is nice to live in a house with pantries always stocked and bills always paid...rent free...so yeah, it's not a bad deal at all! Plus I get to snuggle with my cat. I'm dreading the commute back up to Redmond everyday once school starts up, but it'll only be one more year! Relieving and daunting. 

I'm trying hard to find work. I guess even part-time jobs are hard to come by now. 

Decorating my room is fun! Setting up all my little trinkets fills my heart with sparkles.

I've felt as though I've leveled up in gal recently. Or maybe it's that I leveled up a while ago and I'm only just now realizing it...

My base make is good, I've found a droop that looks gal, and I know parts of an outfit that read well on my body. Drop waists, or the illusion of a drop waist--with a longer shirt or belt lower on the abdomen--balance my proportions well. Drop waists work well to communicate the 90's-00's feel in my outfits, whereas high waists are a very modern look, though its almost completely unavoidable to find low-waisted items nowadays.

Whew. Okay. That's about as much catch-up as I can handle.

As for more recent things...

Reading manga again! Picked up Tokyo Mewmew Omnibus at my library. The art is very cute. I had no idea it was about animal extinction?

It's very rainy here and it tanks my mood & makes me sleepy. I've been crawling at a snail's pace to set up my room...its mostly one corner at a time. 

Back into Splatoon again as well! Why did I ever stop playing .96 gal deco?

And finally, some selfies & other pics.

I should set up a deadline for when I upload...maybe twice a week? I'll think about it...

Until then!
