Update: 5 Things On The 5th (February 2019)

Well, what do you know, it's actually still the 5th when I'm posting this :P

Thinking back to this month, I thought I wouldn't be able to find anything I had done, but it was surprisingly easy to come up with things:

  1. I got a bunch of dental work taken care of. I know this seems silly to put on the list, but I'm proud that I'm taking care of myself and my own physical and mental health.
  2. I've been in the process of making a major purchase for my career, and well, FedEx operates totally differently here than they do in New York City :P But it has finally been delivered, and I can't wait to make some awesome art for you all with it.
  3. I got so stressed out that I had to take a day off of work. I really didn't want to, but there are some times where you HAVE to. I felt incredibly sick, I wasn't eating, and I couldn't get out of bed. So Mikkun took care of me, I probably ate way too much Skyline, and finally felt better in time to go home and watch RuPaul. I really hope this is a wake up call to take better mental care of myself in the future. 
  4. It was Mikkun's birthday this past month! We didn't have a party, but I did buy him a cake (which he almost kicked out of my hands). And we just kind of ran around and do all the things we normally do. I'm so happy for him.
  5. I downloaded the most recent version of Photoshop Elements (which is my normal image editor) and I've been playing around with it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to commit past the trial and make this computer my full-time...well, everything. 

Hopefully this next month I can get outside more often. Spring, come quickly :)

Update: 5 Things On The 5th (August 2018)

Okay, so it's a couple of days late, but I was so stressed out last night that I actually got sick. It's a miracle in itself that I'm still awake. Regardless, here are my 5 things I did in the month of August! What's funny is that you probably know most of these already, because a lot of them happened at Matsuricon. I staffed my first anime convention! It was way less stressful than I thought it would be...despite the fact that my body and mind thought it was, LOL. I sang an Akiba Idol Emily song for the first and last time in front of a crowd! It was completely unexpected, but I'm glad I got to sing at least once before I retire the project for good and put my idol days behind me. (That's a whole 'nother story, but I got this.) I went to go see Teddyloid in concert at Matsuricon! I don't really go to concerts, and I really don't go to concerts or anything for Japanese acts. I'm too embarrassed to. But this was one exception I really wante...

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...

Update: 2018's End Of Year Review

2011 + 2012 + 2013 + 2014 + 2015 + 2016 + 2017  Official End Of Year Review -- 2018 The scent of you, carried along by the wind When I touch your cheek, it's freezing It's completely unbelievable --  we're meeting again. It's a beautiful, beautiful life...   1. What did you do in 2018 that you'd never done before?: I think the biggest thing for me is that I was able to go to therapy! Not like HARDCORE CBT or anything like that, I've always been able to dig myself out of that. But I was able to go to career counseling to figure out what I ACTUALLY want to do with my music talent, instead of just letting everybody else mold it. I lost a major project I wanted to be in at the beginning of the year due to a micromanaging leader who took what was supposed to be mine and made it hers. Later on, I lost the Akiba Idol Emily project because I started it for the wrong reasons, which of course led to a massive mental breakdown WHILE at Matsuricon . Neve...
