problems of being in a taiko club in a small village: the leaders of it teach my kids. do they shittalk how bad the ALT is at taiko when they're at home eating dinner like do my 3nensei know i stand there looking terrified half the time

grief is weird

less than two weeks into january, one large earthquake, plenty of aftershocks, tsunami warnings, and then a level four last night and then i come out of taiko club to discover a friend of mine died a month ago. stop 2024. just stop it

thhank you to the quickplay team who carried my ass while i first-timed (legit, i hadn't even properly read his fucking tooltips) hwei & gave me two honours for the trouble. like no, guys, YOU need those honours?? sometimes i get faith restored in league of legends

and to top off a totally chaotic week after everything that's happened, we wake up to a ton of snow. so glad tmr's a day off work LOL

so many songs i cry to and yet the first live show (and maybe only show) of roads untravelled by linkin park never fails to get me wailing

TWO AFTERSHOCKS IN THE SAME MINUTE CENTERED IN DIFFERENT PLACES NOW THEY'RE JUST SHOWING OFF FR

qwojaeidshujf bless you truly. i promise i'm safe and i'm mostly being dramatic, partly because i'm really sleep deprived - i live in a very inland part of niigata prefecture so the tsunami had very little risk, but yday was my first time experiencing a quake over level 5 mag and i'm very anxious about another aftershock if anything else. i think we'll all be fine, just a lot to start a new year with!! ;w;

i know earthquakes are terrifying but no one told me how fucking exhausting it is having to check in with everyone you know to tell them ur more than safe & then barely being able to sleep bc of minor aftershocks all night. had the news on constantly since 7am and im so tired

happy new year have an earthquake and a tsunami. three hours later ive finally vacated from underneath my dining room table

my mum told me the package she was sending me for xmas was just "a token thing" and it was gonna be late but she sent me a whole new set of pyjamas with an extra set of bottoms that are rly soft and a pair of new sunglasses but she wrote in the card "miss you loads but i'm happy that you're so happy" and well dear reader i was in tears at my kotatsu

first time in several months since leaving the uk ive been able to get on call w a bunch of my uk mates and i never realised playing free-for-all on pokemon showdown could bring so much serotonin

funny that me and my ex (still good friends & vv close) have riley & wallace as our avvies respectively

def helps that i won LMAOOOO

dare i ask if pokemas is finally getting a wallace alt
