Lemme smash

My roommate and I have been playing an unholy amount of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is a lot of fun! The controls are a bit challenging for me since I'm not a console gal at all, but I'm doing my best. I love playing Zelda, Pikachu, Samus, and Palutena, and I need to practice playing Mewtwo since he's my favorite Pokemon. :D

The 18th was my birthday & it was surprisingly nice. I'd honestly been dreading it a bit, but it turned out okay. We went out for dinner and absolutely stuffed our faces with delicious Japanese food. My sister called to wish me a happy birthday, which was really cool and unexpected since we rarely talk. I also played a bit of Prey (my hand slipped & now I'm playing male Morgan again lol) and did some research for one of my fanfic WIPs.

I'm 30 now! Wow. I don't feel 30 at all. I guess I thought I'd suddenly start to be more of an adult, but unsurprisingly I haven't noticed any sudden changes. I do think I've done a bit of growing up this past year. I've certainly gotten better at making phone calls (which I hate), and I started bullet journaling again, so my life is a lot more organized now than it was last year!

My anxiety levels have been rather high for a few weeks & it's pretty exhausting. I think it's mostly a seasonal thing. I hope I can find some time to relax this weekend. And I need to pick up writing again--it tends to fall by the wayside when I'm not in a good headspace, but I know it'll make me feel a lot better once I start again. I hope I can get some words out over Christmas!

So I still want to do a WIP post, and I thought maybe it'd be nice to write up a more detailed friends-locked intro post where I tell you guys a bit more about myself? Would that be interesting/informative? God, I'm so out of practice with blogging, I feel like I need to learn how to do it all over again haha. I'm tempted to just post a lot of memes & ramble about the minutiae of the fanfics I'm reading. :D

i was actually too young to ever use livejournal much, and before this my dreamwidth was only a home for fic exchange letters, so i’m not sure i ever knew how it worked in the first place! but i am enjoying DW so far. it’s funny, because less people see my DW posts than ever saw my tumblr posts, but... i also feel like i’m getting TONS more interactions with other people than i ever did on tumblr!

(granted i mostly used tumblr as a ~stream of content~, but... still)
