Hoppers was so good but

I don't know whether I'm determined to succeed or even more deflated than before. Somehow, it's both. I'm going to master 3d art and 3d programming and yet also I'm thinking about Kittie and Avatar.  I thought I found what I always wanted - bear with me.  The blood is on your hands.  Like I hate seeing the credits and going "I understand each of these departments. I want to be on this. I NEED to be on this." I would've just stayed there forever. I don't need the ladder. I don't WANT the ladder. I don't care. I just want to master art and code. 

enough is enough, honestly

I hate this Screaming, "Fuck patience" - Tyler the Creator I'm tired of doomscrolling 550 jobs and seeing things like  If you excel in browser technologies and platform architecture, this is your next challenge! No. Like, what? That's such a weird thing to say. Who excels in that?  I will become the unicorn I always wanted to be.  I will not spend hours doomscrolling job boards. I will hit my daily quotas but I will not waste time. Onto actually building my skills. 

Really wanna cruise again

Haven't cruised since 2017-18 (over New Year's) and my parents paid for it then since we all went together. That's, well, probably not going to happen again now that I'm well past undergrad. :p But when I'm not freaking unemployed... Think about a nice Royal ship: Water slides! Pools!  Hot tubs! (I think) Bookstores! Hot weather! A park you can walk around in! And read books in.  Lifting at the gym! Going to cool islands! Especially CoCo Cay! Running with a view of the sea + trying not to fall on your face! Dying of norovirus on the toilet in excruciating agony with flooding in both the attic AND the basement -  Oh wait.  But yeah, at least while funemployed you can look up cruises you are 100% not taking, all while dying on the toilet. 

3/20.

Taste my own tears. I felt the same when you were staring at me, with no regrets.  I'm all alone, hunted and weak. But I'm stronger than you may decide.  - The Lust, Dear Diary

Theme park notes

Yesterday I did SFMM with no Fast Lane (because #FUNEMPLOYMENT, I am NOT having fun) and it was wicked. 98F but without my knowledge of how to navigate Lagoon in the heat and only the river rapids ride open for water attractions, which I didn't do.  11 rides from 10:30 (well, more like 10:50) to 6 (more like 6:15). No purchases except lunch because #FUNEMPLOYMENT (I am NOT having fun).  Cherry Hill, Splash Summit, and Cowabunga Bay have all released their summer 2026 hours. Not sure if I'm going to buy a pass to SCERA because #funemployment (I am NOT having fun). Lagoon is still slacking on the Lagoon a Beach hours specifically but we know the regular park hours and they need to hurry up and fix their Cloudflare.

  I thought I found what I always wanted  I got what I wanted  I got just what I always wanted.  - Kittie In a way I did find what I always wanted at DreamWorks. Or so I thought. I thought I'd be there forever. Laid off, landed somewhere else, laid off again.  No more faith in tech. It's gone.
