Incoming opinions!! TAKE COVER!!
honestly, the whole situation with me having to move was a stressful shitshow. but some good has come out of it i think. i'm finally able to pay off some of this debt ive been under, and can actually put money aside now for my hobbies.
planning on getting more personal commissions this year, wanna get some possession TF stuff with my OC Tenchi, more stuff with my Herm demonwolf form (whom i still need to name and get an official ref sheet for) and also i wanna reach out and get some collaborations done with my friends here on FA cause i was struggling for a long time setting aside money for commissions and collabs!
also my other hobby, Airsoft, i FINALLY got back on the field today after almost two months and it was awesome! i put off a few projects for that hobby as well but i'm planning on fixing/replacing some internals on a couple of my worn-down guns, selling one i dont use anymore, and hopefully getting a HPA tank and setup that i can run with multiple airsoft platforms later. but damn i missed running around outside, FPS games really dont do much for me these days, i gotta get out and airsoft lol!
most importantly though, i'm putting money away to pay off my debt from having to get a new vehicle last year. i'm also going to try to save money to buy a house one day. i'm tired of renting places, had both a decent apartment and a crappy apartment, but either way, i'm dumping money into a property i'll never own and i'm tired of it. i have a decent job and a great boss and i'm gonna do my damndest to make a decent house happen one day. and i'm in a better spot to do it now cause honestly, its fuckin hard to save money as a single working-class dude when enough money goes into rent and utilities that you barely do better than breaking even! : (
i miss the solitude though. one or both of my folks are always home and i rarely get alone time anymore. it's a sacrifice i knew i had to make but honestly i recharge by being alone, cause working with people and interacting with people in my work wears me out. (yes, i'm an introvert, borderline antisocial).
not certain about my plans for getting a pet anymore though, need to run that by my parents. i doubt they want to go through the process of raising another cat, might just end up getting a fishtank if i can figure out where the heck i'd be able to put one in this crowded house. will update id i go anywhere with this..
anyways, feels like 2021 finally stopped kicking my ass for long enough that i at least caught my breath, gonna brace myself for the rest of the year now. rock on ppl! ^w^

ive been through that rodeo myself, twice: first time was a truck pulling out from a stop sign without looking and me slamming into him at 50mph, he was buzzed and at fault, that was my first car, both vehicles totaled. i walked away with whiplash and airbag burns, my passenger side wheel was sitting on top of the crumpled engine compartment and if i had a passenger theyd've had their legs crushed by the dash hitting the seat. 1995 toyota corolla
second time i was waiting to take a left onto a side street, elderly driver slams into the back of my car at 30-35mph cause she was talking to her passenger. crumples the rear end of my 2001 pontiac sunfire and once again, totals both cars, that was my SECOND car, i'd owned it for less than two weeks...
...i just realized, between totals, sell-offs, catastrophic breakdowns and more, im on my 8th fucking car!!
95 toyota corolla, totaled
01 pontiac sunfire, totaled
03 mitsubishi galant, breakdown and sold
98 ford ranger, breakdown and sold
05 dodge dakota, sold
09 mazda 3, traded in
05 ford ranger, catastrophic engine failure, sold
15 ford fusion - current vehicle
...i have shit luck with vehicles dude...
01 Intrepid, engine blown after a month
03 Impala, hit a deer, then head gasket slowly went bad
03 Escape, replaced Y-pipe and catalytic converter, oil leaks but at least the engine ran, alternator died on Christmas Eve
14 Sonata, engine replaced due to recall under warranty, still driving and paying for
Paying for 4 more years on this Sonata, so far so good.
