   2021
the past few years have been something, huh?

hope everyone is safe and well. it's been a wild ride for me--the last time I made any kind of real post here was in 2009 I think, and since then I've essentially become a different person. I got a job I stayed at for 7 years, got married to joshanime2 (and we're still happily married almost 6 years later!), lost my beloved cat Cookie, celebrated the birth of my niece, got a house and three vehicles, got three new cats and a dog, got another job that's probably going to be my career, and lost a few family members to covid.

I'm nearly 30 now, and that's a hard pill to swallow. I guess I'm just here because I'm feeling nostalgic for a time that can never be regained, but I'm happy to have experienced anyway. even though I look back on my old posts here and cringe, I'm ultimately glad I was the person I used to be, because she became me, and I like who I am now. I always worried I'd grow up and become some boring adult, or that one day I'd have to give up all my nerdy hobbies, but the truth is that my younger self never changed or left. I simply grew around her, like layers of bark on a tree, and everything she was, I still am. I'm still an awful nerd tbh, I just have more time and resources to enjoy my interests. getting older isn't so bad, even if my husband has to constantly remind me that life doesnt and at 30.

to my past self: don't worry, you'll be ok. kingdom hearts III will finally come out, and it'll be... uh, a little disappointing if I'm being honest! but the countdown to it will be very fun. give naruto a proper chance, you'll walk down the isle to a song from that series and it'll be beautiful. you'll also finally start wearing lolita fashion, I promise it's worth it. dont buy the first house you like, it'll have SO many plumbing problems. and, most of all, thank you for being me. I wouldn't have got here without you.

to my future self: if this site still exists in the coming years, don't be a stranger. drop a line, keep me updated.

to anyone reading this: if you're here and made it this far, you're probably in a similar situation to me, getting older and feeling nostalgic. it's kind of amazing this place even still exists, but I'm glad it does, and that you're here reveling in nostalgia on this embarrassing little time capsule with me. if you want, feel free to comment and stike up a conversation. I kind of miss the way I used to be able to jump into conversations with reckless abandon. :P

anyway, it's 4am and I've been up far too late. take care friends, and in the spirit of my old posts,

~ja ne!
