Progress report: February ‘20

Now… this is definitely something we need to talk about.
(Psst! Amitte actually wanted to make this post look cooler by embedding the image here, as one would, but that would mean having to randomly share it with the whooole Imgur community and that’s one thing we’re not doing, ever!)

Let me tell you… I have nothing interesting to talk about in regards to my “progress”, so assuming you bothered to check out the image, I’ll just talk about my life in February. Finals… are… coming closer and closer, inevitably… I probably should be studying, but since I have no idea where to start, I just try my best at keeping up with school as it is. And since I should be studying, I’m procrastinating in… the least relaxing way?, which would be playing casual games, yeah. It’s even come to the point that after putting on a few long music albums to listen to in the background, I started thinking “Wow… for some reason, I feel like I’d rather listen to someone talk into my earholes.”, and even though I did put on some talky videos from YouTubers I watch a lot before, it was the first time I straight up thought that to myself. …so shortly after my winter break rolled in, I ended up shifting my sleep schedule to going to sleep at 4 AM, waking up at 11 AM and spending most of my day playing that thing that’s most prominent in the lineup and listening to videos I’ve already seen (from one person in particular). I know this isn’t something to be proud of, and believe me, I’m not trying to make it seem like it is, but I feel like it made me feel better about life in general. I don’t even feel like making self-deprecating jokes all the time. I don’t feel tired constantly. (Obviously, if I stay up late, I do, but that’s just a given.) And besides that point, I went to my first casting ever! It was for a musical and I got in! Don’t have a role to play (I’ll only be one of many backing vocals), but it wasn’t surprising, knowing how my audition actually went. Still, it’ll only be a week since the casting on Sunday, but I’m already super excited about learning all the songs and harmonizing with so many people who are just as excited as I am, if not more! Even if that does mean dedicating my Thursday afternoons to rehearsals. Actually, I think the casting was the reason this post didn’t come out sooner! I probably got too lazy just thinking about it, but now I got to it and managed to write all my thoughts down.

See you next month! Here’s to more progress in March (in gaming AND in real life)!

You are able to just upload to Imgur without sharing it to the community. At least I’ve never had any of my photos show up because I’m not signed in and there is a hidden button right next to it to stop anyone from accessing it without the url

Also damn thats a lot of hours on a colouring game

Upload, yes, but without making it public, I can only link it, not show it.

Ah, I’m not really clued up on all that stuff, I may as well be an 80 year old when it comes to all these things. It took ages just to figure out how to show the picture on here and sg and I only did that once each

That’s amazing! Congrats on getting into that musical. I often have LGR or AVGN on the background while playing, it’s nothing to be ashamed of (I didn’t think so, at least). I also like to relisten to old podcasts. I’m on my third run of Hello from the magic tavern right now.

On another note, what would be the difference between linking it and showing a picture from imgur? I thought you could do whatever even when set to private.

Hey there, new commenter! I still can’t wait to start rehearsing it properly :D

Speaking of YouTube, it’s not that I’m ashamed of spending my time on watching videos in general, but rather my experience with seemingly failing to find understanding people outside select channels’ communities; by now I’ve just assumed the mindset of “watching X and/or Y is considered cringy unless proven different”. That being said, as weird as this may sound, I’m fixated on the aforementioned person and it injects me with a ton of motivation and will to get up and live through every day (that isn’t to say I have any underlying problems; I’m just super lazy and unmotivated by default), which in turn just makes me very happy. I haven’t had that feeling in years. Judging by subscriber count, I’m sure I should be able to find many who agree and feel the same, but either I’m not good at looking or I don’t last long with the people I find.
Oh, and I totally forgot about podcasts! Now that I think about it, there might be two, maybe three that I’d love to listen to ^^

Well, I really wanted to catch the eye of any assassin that scrolled by (I imagine I didn’t get much interaction this time not only because others posted shortly after me, but because there wasn’t anything that stood out in the post this time), but it just seems that Imgur doesn’t want to let me embed a photo unless I publish it. …that, or I’m just a dum-dum ^^;;;
