Neither the cold of eternity nor the cold of inevitable deletion (or lack thereof) have taken my bones yet. I'm still here, and though I haven't posted anything arranged music-wise or on my art/poem account, I remain active in both things. I have music ideas a lot, but I hardly have any time to implement them, especially not now. Poem- and writing-wise, I have so much inspiration it vaguely hurts that I don't have time to put effort into it. Regarding visual art, I've previously not been very involved in making that, but I've been sketching a lot more, aided in part by school friends that have seen me doodling. I would probably post something, if I had the time necessary to convert decent doodles to sketches and then digitize them.

The main reasons that I haven't been able to do anything like this or had the time to put effort into hobbies like this are school and work. I'm working on studying and preparing formula sheets right now, for example. Finals week starts Monday. I'm working on researching and coding as well, for a project at school. I am actually making money from my experience and education now. It's something I've dreamed of doing, and passed through odd jobs and unstable incomes on the way there. I got a lot of work experience, but I'm so happy I'm doing something I enjoy now. This project naturally ends at the end of the semester (Jan. 6-ish), but it is experience that can get me in on another project, hopefully on a similar topic or researching AI or something, since that's big at this university.

I've been using my musical talents...or rather my musical trial and error for school purposes as well. We were making a basic game, and as part of the assignment, we had to make our own audio assets. I produced 8 short looping tracks, that (if I get permission from the other developers) might find their way here eventually, probably in very cleaned up versions. My literary skills also aren't going to waste. I am not taking an English class, but I have had to do a lot of improvised writing in German. I'm learning a lot of better grammar in German and I think it is impacting my artistic uses of English too. Either way, my inspirations are not being entirely wasted.

I hope next semester will be easier, so that I can finally finish some songs, and maybe finish the work I began on an album this year before things became so busy. That and finish moving all my old poems to BluefoxLongtail as well as finally putting my new poems (and maybe even my ultra-short stories) on a text document. I also really hope I get the time to explore drawing more. That could be nice.

Also! Not really relevant, but it is vaguely interesting. Nothing's set in stone, but I might finally be moving out of my parent's house next summer. Maybe more details later.

Anywho, sorry again for not saying anything or posting anything. I'll see y'all soon hopefully! And I'm going to listen to all the music in my notifs of course. Y'all are all way better than I am. I love listening to y'all's stuff.

Sometimes it hurts not to create,
But it is the inability that I hate.
When rationale inhibits inspiration,
It is replaced by contemplation.
When time is consumed by school,
Thinking consumes the rest in full.
