-pretty bad.
Im hoping to find a room mate situation soon, as much as I love living alone, so I can have that extra presence.
My parents raised me to be afraid of everything and its been difficult to unlearn that.
I dont talk about it much, but I've had bad news anxiety since I was 8 or 9 and used to get really bad panic attacks. The news was always on in my home and I couldn't escape it, and now with internet and social media, its gotten a lot worse. Living alone doesn't help either, so I tend to spiral-
Been slow with comm updates due to a bad wave of panic attacks over the last couple weeks, so a lot of my energy has gone to trying to keep myself calm before the this trip.
I dont have insurance anymore so I've been raw dogging it and its quite difficult. Do not recommend.
Happy birthday!! How lovely of them to make an appearance just for you!
How I wish to be crushed between them.
Those tomes get heavy, you know?
They keep giving him the beefiest arms and shoulders in the official art and I just want to shake the hands of everyone involved.
Arms.
LRP Portland just got a Jollibee in too and I've been itching to try it!

Its the same thing that happened at my last job. They put me through 2 interviews (which they didnt for anyone else apparently) and then gave it to someone with zero experience. I only got a job because someone quit when I responded to the rejection email.
The job market is so bleak. I can't even land PT customer service positions with 20 years of experience.
Welp, I didnt get the job. Cool.
I am going to close all comm forms tonight so I can focus on the ones I have and prepping for Fan Fest. I'll be opening them again when I return because sadly rent still exists and I am trying to move.
Yes yes, please do! Blorbo bag gotta smell like the blorbo.
Hahah well I always like doing those little tester strips at beauty stores and keeping them in my purse so it smells nice, and I plan on doing that for my Uri ita bag anyway.
Oh his sounds so lovely and fresh!
I'd be happy to spritz it on something for you cause I'll have it in Anaheim.
I really love the notes they used for his, I remember thinking Alphi's sounded lovely too! Wasnt bergamot one of them?
Oooo yay I'm glad you got it! I got very lucky having a friend who lives in Japan and is bringing Urianger's to Fan Fest for me.
I actually started playing on the PS4 but wanted to mod so I eventually moved to PC. I tried modding and ended up not liking it, so back to console I go, hah!
I definitely will keep the keyboard and mouse though, I suck with the controller now.
As an ardent Wolianger, I am LOVING these! They're hauntingly beautiful, tragic, and I am loving your Lightwarden design.
Ive been working on a little Nez adventuring journal, but its hard to update without the game. To my Encyclopedia Eorzea and Garland Tools I go!
Augh all I want to do is play FFXIV but I don't have a computer anymore T_T
Maybe if I get this job and move, I'll save up and get a PS5.
A lot of it is because the streets are massive and the lights take forever to trip and cross.
At least its gonna be like 75 the entire time!
I made that mistake the first time I went back home to visit as an adult. My bank was a "few blocks" from my hotel and it took almost an hour.
And poor Uri is so conflicted and absolutely messes up because Nez is so earnest with him. He doesn't want to push her away, but he still believes she'll hate him when she learns the truth.
Meanwhile, Nez is fighting some strong urges after seeing him in his new attire.
Oh no! They have to stay close to one another to stay hidden from the pixies on their way to the Nu Mou!
Oh no! Nez needs constant watching and soothing while dealing with the Light she's absorbing!
Oh no! They have to share a tent in the Empty!
They got SO CLOSE during the Warring Triad (in which Krile and Y'shtola maybe nudged them along a little after picking up hints) only for Nez to leave for Doma not long after. Then Urianger gets his ass isekai'd and Nez is a moping MESS. Then they see each other in Il Mheg and malfunction.
The more I try and refine the timeline of NezRianger, the more I feel a primal calling to make them slip up in ShB. Like, they wont fully confess until EW, but my gods they need to be (not so subtle) idiots on the First at least once, or twice...or thrice.
