My ideal Friday night

I haven't had one of these in a long while, and tonight certainly hasn't been a good example of it (considering that I spent almost two hours on my self-study course lol). 

First, I would eat some good food. Orem gets crazy crowded after work on Fridays, so it's better to just get food right away before the lines get even longer. 

After dinner, I would do some art and writing. Just a little bit, since it's Friday night and I'm tired from the week. Then, maybe I would play a little bit of music. Or screw around with some CTFs, just to get the brain juices flowing a bit. 

After that, it would be time to transition into the Internet. I would visit all my favorite forums and social media websites, read fanfiction, RP, look at art, reply to emails and messages, and read webcomics, all while listening to some excellent music. 

Then, I would play video games for a while. I take forever to finish games; I'm still partway through Portal 1 and have been for a long time, plus Pokemon Shield. But if I did this consistently, I wouldn't be behind.

Then, I would watch some good T.V. shows. I'd be getting pretty tired at this point (ideally would have worked out in the morning) so watching some stuff would be a good way to cool down. 

After that, I'd get ready for bed. Read a book, spend some time in my imaginative world, and get to bed nice and early. 

Naturally, there would be a few Fridays in July and August where I would fight the traffic to go to Lagoon. But sadly, it is currently freezing and Lagoon won't be open until almost 2 months from now. 

Instead, though, my Fridays are usually hectic trying to get stuff done before midnight (thankfully don't have to do this tonight). I get super far behind on messages and fanfiction reading (so, sorry if you're reading this and I still haven't replied to your FB message or email, please know that it is not personal but is instead extreme brain-blech), which means that when I do have time for them, they are more stressful than they are fun. 

Regardless, just got to keep iterating. I'll get there. One day at a time.

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
