Update: A Cup Of Tea

I have been doing way too much thinking for my own good as of lately.

My life has an odd pattern where, every three years, it seems that the same things happen. Year 1 is a year where I learn a lot about myself. Year 2 is a year where it is easier to travel places. Year 3 is an 'off' year, and that is what 2018 is. But I'm starting to find that an 'off' year is probably more of a 'building' year. I've just always compared it to the other years, albeit unfairly. 

God has forced me to slow down. I want to charge, full speed ahead. Now that I have somewhat of an idea of what I actually want to do (yeah, #OkayEmily, I know I've said that 15,000,000 times now but at least I'm listening this time) I just WANT TO GET THERE ALREADY. God's more interested in telling the story, so I'm doing my best to stick to the speed They want me to go at. (Also, yeah, I totally just de-gendered God, bite me.)

Which means there are things that are going to come slower than anticipated. This means:
  • It's gonna be a LONG while before you get any new music from me. Anything...other than probably performing with my orchestra. 
  • This also goes for writing. Some of you know what I'm working on right now. Others don't. Let me tell you: it ain't all that impressive unless you happen to play a lot of Bemani, and even then, it's probably skippable. 
  • I'm throwing myself in even more at work to ensure I can have a future -- both inside and outside of it.
  • I'm caring for myself above all else, learning about the genre I'm going into and what it's made up of. This will take time, but I will eventually write on this as well.
In addition, this means I'm also letting go of old projects that I know no longer serve me. I haven't fully given up on Dvorak -- I'm waiting on God's plan for that one. But I'm sure there are others that should simply remain special to me, stories that nobody else needs to know. Some of these will be retired in time. I will also no longer be making any fan stories of roller coasters that aren't mine to fan. Quite simply, somebody ruined it for me -- but I'm okay with that. It seems to have been God's plan, and I'm hoping They pave the way for lots of new stories that are mine to claim.

So. All in patience, and I'm sure I'll write about it here as I discover things. Let this be another odyssey of searching for God...and on that note, hopefully my next blog post will seem a bit familiar.

Update: 2020's End Of Year Review

2011 + 2012 + 2013 + 2014 + 2015 + 2016 + 2017 + 2018 + 2019  Official End Of Year Review -- 2020 Once upon a time, there were five boys and a star. The boys and the star made a promise. “Even if we go our separate ways, we will meet here again.” 1. What did you do in 2020 that you'd never done before?: I know of someone who felt like he was trapped in an eternal winter, not sure if spring would ever come for him. Well, if he were still alive, he'd probably have an entire weeks' worth of soiled underwear, because it has been March for ten months now. It's part of the reason I stopped posting things that I've done every month, because there was nothing to do. But I adapted surprisingly well. While the rest of the world was dealing with not getting haircuts and being trapped, those of us with mental health issues were able to pull out ALL the resources we use on a daily basis and handle it the bes...

Speed - Cedar Point's Roller Coasters, Ranked By Emily

Today is the first day of summer, and...well, we kind of got washed out here in Columbus. So to celebrate, I'm eating my last black and white cookie and sharing my thoughts on Cedar Point's esteemed collection of roller coasters. They don't call it America's Roller Coast for nothing. So here is my ranking, best to worst, of CP's roller coasters...excluding Pipe Scream. I'm not counting Pipe Scream. Note that these are my opinions, not any sort of official ranking. But if you want an official ranking, you can go elsewhere. With that said, we all know where we're starting -- 1: Top Thrill Dragster Seriously, are you even at my blog for a reason other than to hear me rant about this beautiful thing that's taken a hold of my own identity? My personal feelings aside, one look at Dragster and you're like, "how is that even possible?" It probably shouldn't be, and yet, it is. With no over the shoulder restraints or drop towers to hold ...

Update: 5 Things On The 5th (January and February 2020)

#OkayEmily where is last month's post? You said you were gonna post one of these every month, you know? Yes, I know that, but last month was important in one very important way: 1: I lost one of my best friends. Have you ever known someone who never really said much, but was always just...there? Any time you needed anything important, they would help provide it, and then they would go back to their hiding spot? But they were always still around to hang with people. She was beautiful, and I'm not gonna go into too much detail. But it was through her that I met Mikkun, that I found the arcade that I did. It's very indirectly because of her and her best friend that I started to get myself back, finally. She gave me more than I could ever repay her for, and I think she knew that. I have to be certain that she did. No other message matters anymore. 2: I played an incredibly failed recital. Which I'm actually really okay with! You learn what works for you and you move o...
