Well now, after being quite busy for a while, I think that I finally have some time to relax. I've been helping my sister-in-law with taking care of a lot of the strays that we had coming in. My sister is the head of a animal shelter since earlier this year, and for a while now we've had hundreds of cats come in every week or two. But now things are slowing down a bit. And it's really funny that it's happening today of all days, as today is actually my birthday.

So now I'm 32 years old. But I only partly feel old. Really I'm still a kid at heart, even though I can remember the early days of the internet. Just typing that I can hear the old dial up noises in my head. Honestly looking back on it those sounds make me think that someone's printer is having a stroke or something.

Thankfully now though I should have more time to get some much needed things done. Like drawing, for one example. So if anyone has any ideas for things to draw, please feel free to let me know. Though keep in mind that I'm not that good.

Today was meant to be a simple one. Just give my two Guinea pigs' cage its weekly cleaning. But my sister noticed something about one of them. Cali wasn't acting like her normal self.

After getting her checked out at a nearby vet, I actually had to have Cali put down.

So now it's me and Koko here.

I was told that normally Guinea pigs don't live long, about 2-3 years. So given that my Guinea pigs are both about 6-7 this year would make them quite old indeed.

I'll miss her dearly.

I think that I'll get some rest here, so if I don't respond right away, that's why. I'll make sure to reply to everyone later.

Sorry for being gone for a while here everyone, I had some things come up here at home. But thankfully I’m doing better now.

Though I do wonder, does anyone here know much about iPads or other Mac devices?? I’m still having a little trouble with an older model and transferring content over to a newer model. I don’t know much about computers admittedly.

Also, on the topic of computers, during the time that I have been away my brother (who I live with) keeps telling me that I should start a YouTube channel. I don’t know what it could be about but it does seem like it would be fun.

Well today happens 2 b my birthday. But it's not just any birthday, as today I'm turning 30.

Later my brother is gonna go with me on a shopping trip so we could have a movie night 2 go with a special dinner of pasta carbonara and ice cream cake. Now we just need 2 figure out wut movie or movies we should get.

Anyways, I hope that everyone has a wonderful day (or night). 🤎🤎🤎

Have u ever had something come up unexpectedly, something that could have cost a lot 2 fix??

I did da other day.

we were getting quite a lot of rain that evening, which is something I normally love. Rain and snow r some of my favorite kinds of weather, but as I was walking into my bedroom I started hearing flowing water....from da INSIDE. Now, I live with my siblings. And they gave da whole finished basement 2 me. And it turns out that our gutters were completely clogged up, so all of that rain water ended up pooling in one of my window wells.

Then it started flooding my bedroom. Thankfully we got it taken care of before it got too outta control. Though I did lose some cards, as I love playing various trading card games. Even as I type this, a big fan is helping dry out my carpet. Such a noisy thing, too. As it makes me think of a plane idling near me.

But aside from those aforementioned cards, everything looks like it'll b fine eventually.

Btw, we cleaned out da gutters so it shouldn't happen again anytime soon.

Hopefully ur all having a better day than I did. 🤎🤎🤎

As I sit here working on my music class assignment (I'm a part of a group find songs 4 different themes and then have a discussion about them), something came 2 mind that I don't think anyone has considered yet. Some time ago a song came out called What Does the Fox Say? Thing is though, we all can find that out rather easily.

But what does da hedgehog say??

We know a lot about other animal sounds, but I've never heard anyone mention how hedgehogs sound. I actually know wut they sound like, having done some research. But I wonder if anyone else knows.

Would anyone like 2 guess wut they sound like??

As of 5:00am, 12/14/20 (this morning) YouTube is now down. I was watching a few videos before going 2 bed and as I was just picking a video 2 watch, it gives me an error message.

And this is not just that video, da whole of YouTube is not working.

Wut could of happened, I wonder.


(Edit)
As of 5:33am, 12/14/20, YouTube seems 2 b working again. Though I would still b careful 4 a while, as we don’t know wut caused it 2 go down right now. I’ll add any such news here if I find out.

I have noticed that while watching a YouTube video on “horrible”* weapons in video games (*as in u would b a horrible person 4 using such an evil/villainous thing), that there is a creature in a game that shares a name with a popular species here in da fandom. Having found this, I searched up who came up with this species here on FA, but their account is currently deactivated (as of da day I post this). This is most likely just a coincidence, but with it being a Nintendo 64 game, maybe they could have played it at some point and decided 2 just use that name because they liked it??

Or perhaps it’s nothing.

Can anyone help with understanding this??

Well, in just a few days I’ll b celebrating my birthday. Though with how everything is in this world nowadays, I’m not really expecting much. After all it’s not like we could go anywhere without risk. So I’ll just stay at home with my siblings.

Guess we’ll see wut happens on da 15th.

I do hope that everyone who reads this is doing well enough, given how crazy things have been this year.

Hey, I've found out that  WOODLAND-GHOUL is having a art raffle!!
If u want amazing art then u should check them out. Though da raffle ends on August 30th, so u better hurry!!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/37080129/

Have u ever needed a way 2 relax and unwind, 2 get away from all of da horrible things happening in da world right now?? Perhaps this could help u. Achieve a higher level of positivity with this joyful experience.

Alright, so I just had 2 save a baby bunny. He (or she, I don't know 4 sure) had slipped and fell into a window well. I live in da basement of a house that I co-own with my older brother and his wife. Thankfully da little bun, who was smaller then my cell phone, is now safe. And having only lived here a total of 2 and a half years, this is bunny rescue #3.

They sure don't seem 2 learn, do they?? And when we get da chance we will find a good cover 4 that window well.

But I still feel like I have 2 ask: Why r there so many bunnies around here?!

So I have found a channel on YouTube a few days ago called Clownfish TV. They cover news on comics, movies, and other media. And one of their hosts found out that a particular version of a famous character--Doctor Who-- had, in a past life, been an animal. Now he is saying Oh, so the Doctor is a furry now...that ruins the show for me. Excuse me, but I thought that that was how reincarnation worked, through things like karma etc. And some religions believe in reincarnation, so is this guy saying that such religions are suddenly wrong and horrible now?? I'm having difficulty typing this as I'm so upset with this guy. Do any of you think that believing in reincarnation automatically makes someone a furry??

Well now I have something to talk to my therapist about later today.....*sigh*

Alright, so with my not being able 2 sleep at all last night, I thought that I'd watch a little YouTube while I have breakfast. And I find this in my suggested listing. Somehow they messed up Android 19's voice in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot on PS4.

Here is his voice in game (skip to 7:30 in play time 4 it).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUdx5piBLhs


And here is his voice from Dragon Ball Z Budokai on PS2 (form 0:16 to 1:22).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVVuCAQryfk

Now I'm not into bashing a new voice actor 4 a character, sometimes a new person can b better then da old actor. But sadly I do not like where this guy is taking this character.

Am I being crazy in thinking this, or wut??

I do not mean 2 sound like I hate this new voice actor, I just don't like his performance, though I understand that some others might. And I respect that.

Well, I've been rather busy lately.

Given that we just had a brand new base set of cards in Pokémon I now have 2 come up with new deck ideas. Especially when they chose 2 remove 1 of my favorite types from da game.

And in Yugioh, we have a new Master Rule coming in April, though many r saying that they think it's just a poorly thought out April Fools joke or something. Regardless of those doubts I'm still building a deck 2 use if and when these new rules actually take effect.

Also I have been working on a little art project that I've wanted 2 do 4 a while now. But I have 2 work on not doubting myself and just crumpling up my sketch paper in frustration, as it's REALLY hard 2 get my ideas onto da page without messing up something.

On that note, can anyone tell me if sergals r an open species or not?? Idk where 2 go 2 find out such things.

Then going back 2 Pokémon 4 a moment, I have both Sword and Shield and have found that this time da gyms where actually pretty easy. A little 2 easy. I mean, da 8th gym leader Raihan was a joke. He was also said 2 be da most difficult gym in da region as well. Now I'm worried about da Pokémon League, as I could actually b way 2 over leveled 4 it.

Some might think that's great, but I still want at least some kind of challenge when I get there.

And all of this is going on while we're dealing with our adorable yet hyper pup Shamus getting into everything he sees.

So u could say that my life is pretty crazy right now.

Hope u all have a wonderful day!! Or night, depending on when u read this.

Alright, so my copy of da games (I got both in a bundle pack) should b here in a matter of hours. Now I understand that a lot of people r upset about these games and they r right 2 express themselves. But I'm going 2 give these games a chance, even if I also happen 2 b upset with these games.

Maybe if we take da time 2 find wut actually works, we could tell Game Freak that we just want that, and not da other things.

Though I think that they should have spent more time with these games, and have waited 4 their other new game, Little Town Hero, as both seem 2 b a bit.....unfinished I think is da word??

Anyway, here is 2 a new adventure in Galar. Though I'm rather nervous about this.

Alright, so after having 2 deal with an art block 4 da past few days, as well as dealing with my PTSD hitting me every so often I’m having real trouble with my art.

I know full well that my art is horrible, but lately I just can’t get anything 2 work right. No matter wut I do I always find something wrong with each attempt I make. After a few minutes I just wanna shred everything up and go hide somewhere.

This is making me feel like I shouldn’t even b here, I’m no artist, and I’m only wasting everyone’s time by being here.

I’m not attempting 2 get anyone 2 feel sorry 4 me, or 2 pity me. Really I’m just getting this outta my system.

I’m sorry 4 wasting everyone’s time, with my bad art, and with my bitching here.

Hopefully u still have a wonderful day, as I love u all.

Now that I’m 28 (as of 9/15), I’ve been thinking. I don’t believe that I have any “good” art, just a bunch of doodles and random pics. (Gift art from others is not counted here, just my own. I greatly appreciate da work put into those gifts and think that they’re amazing.) But as of my typing this I have 465 watchers.

Why r there that many of u here, wut sort of things do I do interest u??

I never thought I’d ever get even close 2 those kinds of numbers. But there getting up there all right. Maybe if I knew wut u all enjoyed about my art, I could learn from that.

Really, let me know anything u think I should do better.

I've been wondering, having seen some amazing species that others have made, is there a way 2 check if a species is open (alright 2 make OCs with etc) or closed??

I know of a couple that I would love 2 make art of, if it's alright 2.

Have u ever really wanted 2 do or make something, but ur sheer lack of skill in 1 or more areas just makes it impossible??

That u just wanted 2 curl up and shut out da whole world, 2 hide until everyone forgets about ur mistakes??

As u tend 2 see sometimes around here, I have gotten some really sweet adoptables. But while I do have some ideas as 2 wut 2 do with them, I’d love 2 hear of any ideas u have. I have 3 atm, as well as a new form 4 my main sona. As my main sona does have magical abilities, allowing me 2 have versions of myself in other species.

Please let me know if ur interested in anything like this.

So I saw a YouTuber that I love post an upload recently saying that he’s not doing so well right now.

His name is RetroSpecter, and da upload is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k-9s1YWvKwc

I was thinking that maybe if u guys aren’t 2 busy, u could send him some love and support 2 help him out.

BUT B SURE 2 WATCH DA VIDEO FIRST SO U KNOW WUT IS GOING ON.

If he asks how u heard of this, I’m fine with u telling him about this journal. But I’m not doin this 2 get anything out of it. I’m just wanting 2 help someone who I think is a amazing artist.

So I happen 2 play Magic the Gathering, and a new set of cards just came out. In this set we get 5 guilds 2 pick from.

But I wonder, just which guild should I join:

Da law making Azorius??

Da (not so pure) church of Orzhov??

Da deadly cult of Rakdos??

Da creature mutating Simic??

Or da wild and free Gruul??

Hey!! I hope u r all doin wonderfully today, tonight or whenever u happen 2 b reading this.

So some people have been saying that they like my artwork, though I don’t really think that I’m actually that good. But it has got me thinking, do others think my art is good as well, and then how many??

I’m always thinking that I need 2 do so much just 2 make something passable. That I have 2 push myself 2 get better all da time.

After hearing those few people say those things, I got da crazy idea that I could do a few art trades...maybe...perhaps. I dunno.

I could just b goin crazy, though wut is sanity, really??

Uh, anyway, I’d love 2 hear from ya if u any ideas of wut I should do, if anything.

Hope u have a wonderful day....night....wutever!! 😜

Alright, so there is a card that a lot of people have had 4 a while now, and have used it so much it's now limited 2 only 1 copy. That card is Firewall Dragon, and only yesterday did I get a copy of it. Now I wonder, is it worth it 2 play it??

Or even more so, is it right 2 play it, as so many hate wut all u can do with it and getting it limited as it is now??
