Early Sunsets

I guess I used to be more hardcore (played lots of competitive games and ranked matches), but not so much nowadays. For the most part I just play PvE games, and the few PvP games I play are pretty casual, being MechWarrior Online and the occasional aram match in League of Legends.

I think it's cool. I used to think it was just a gimmick, but more games have added support for it and the technology has improved, and now it's starting to become pretty good. I probably won't get a VR set for a couple years, though. They're pretty expensive, and my current GPU couldn't handle that kind of load, anyway.

I dreamt I was training to become a fighter pilot.

Kind of weird, considering that's not something I've ever wanted to be.

I went to eat at one of my favorite local restaurants with my family, and that was it. I don't really have big celebrations for anything. They're just kind of weird to me.

One of the funniest things I've seen done in World of Tanks.

Currently part-time package handler at FedEx, part-time fursuit maker. I hope to be able to make fursuits and other costumes full-time someday. I love doing it. It's not exactly the most lucrative of jobs, and the pay is wildly inconsistent to the point where some of the largest makers see over $10k earned one month and just a few hundred in other months, but I'd much rather work a job I love earning $25k a year than a job I hate earning $100k. As long as I can scrape by financially, I'll take an enjoyable job over high wages any day.

For now, at least, it's good to have some form of stable pay. FedEx pays pretty good, and while the work is difficult and hectic at times, it's not too bad most days, and they treat their employees very well. Plus, I never have to see a single customer. Just my small band of 12 coworkers and any delivery drivers that come through.

I sleep as well as a fish trying to climb a tree. It consistently takes me well over an hour to fall asleep (sometimes upwards of two), and no matter how much or how little sleep I get (usually about ten hours) I still wake up exhausted, and only if I'm lucky will I feel awake two or three hours later.

Nope. I'd be open to trying it in the right situation, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Black, gray, and red are my top three. Grayscale and red is just such a beautiful combination.

I got diagnosed with depression and social anxiety in high school, but thankfully my depression is mostly gone these days, or at the very least asleep. I'm also extremely avoidant, paranoid, and I'm reasonably certain I've got inattentive ADHD, which is a big problem considering my dream job is in the realm of self employment. I keep meaning to see the doctor about that. I would have done it by now, but my mom kind of laughed when I asked her to take me to the doctor earlier in the year, which has kind of put me off it. Not sure how to go without getting my insurance info from her.

Night owl. I love being awake at night, and when I wake up in the morning it usually takes me half an hour or longer to work up the energy to get out of bed. Forget about me waking up any time earlier than 10 am, unless there's something special going on that day.

I don't know. I'd like more friends, but I'm the kind of friend who you constantly have to drag out to do stuff with. I never really ask people if they want to hang out or anything. Obviously that bores and annoys most people, so my friends don't usually stick around too long. Can't say I blame them.

I was very good at avoiding injuries as a kid. Given how reckless I used to be, I think that's entirely down to luck. I think the worst I ever got was when my sister accidentally tripped me and the side of my head hit the corner of a table. Luckily it really only injured my ear and I didn't have any head trauma or anything. It's one of the two scars I still have from my childhood, the other being a small line on the back of one finger from where I burned it on a light bulb.

If we consider high school childhood, I nearly sliced off a finger or two on a table saw sophomore year. Thankfully it just caught the edge of my left middle finger. After a few months of painful rehabilitation it healed, and didn't lose any flexibility or sensitivity, so that's good. Just an ugly scar and a crooked nailbed with a boring history.

I love the night. I'm always so much more awake when it's dark, and it's peaceful.

Moderately snowy, overcast, little to no wind. Just the faint sound of snowflakes hitting a blanket of snow. Bonus points if it's the middle of the night and the only light comes from streetlamps.

Unless it's a formal situation or I'm talking to a professor, no. I just find it weird. I remember in high school chem my teacher called everyone by their last names, and the first time he tried to get my attention he had to say it like three times because I was so unused to hearing it.

Destiny 2. Microsoft added the expansions to Game Pass, so I've been playing those a fair bit. Just got done with Forsaken tonight, now I gotta spend who knows how long grinding the materials to make Ace of Spades.

I think I've settled on bicurious. I've never been romantically attracted to a guy (well, I guess there was that one guy I talked to on Pony Town for like two hours, forgot to send a friend request, and never saw again, but no guys other than him), so as far as serious relationships go, I'm straight. 99% of the time anyway.

Sometimes. If someone's criticizing something close to my heart, of course I'm gonna be at least a little upset.

Well, time for an update, I guess.

In the last year and a half I have grown one inch and actually lost weight. Now I'm 6'2" and a little under 135 pounds, placing me firmly in the "underweight" category (I need to be at about 150 to be considered "healthy").

I swear, my body burns fuel faster than a damn Hummer. None of it sticks. I'll be a skeleton forever.

Yes. Considering Covid vaccines have already begun the distribution process in some areas, the pandemic should start to die down early 2021 (fingers crossed). Hopefully local businesses can come back to life when that happens. Or, what's left of local businesses, anyway.

The first one I ever heard was Rainbow Factory. I remember listening to it years ago, before I was a brony. I stumbled across it listening to anti-nightcore songs in middle / early high school. I didn't actually know it was MLP-related at the time.

The first song that really got me into MLP music was Are You There by Princewhateverer. Not one of his more popular songs, but it's still special to me because of that.

Sideways 

Really, though. My scooter fits sideways in parking spaces. Since the shopping cart returns at the local grocery store take up most of two parking spaces, it leaves the perfect amount of room to fit my scooter in, and acts as a convenient anchor point for the security chain. It also ensures there will always be an open space for me when I go grocery shopping, which is nice.

If I had to guess, I'm around 1,000 hours played in Terraria and World of Tanks. I really have no way to gauge that since those hours are across multiple accounts and platforms, many of which don't track play time, but that seems about right. I know I have about 400 hours in Terraria on PC, and if I had to guess, I have at least that many on console, considering the long hours I'd spend playing with my friends. As for World of Tanks I have close to 10k games played across my accounts, and I'd imagine that translates to well over 1,000 hours.

Skyrim and CoD:Black Ops 2 multiplayer are my next most played games. I think both are in the 500 to 600 hour range, basically all of which was played on my Xbox 360 back in middle and high school.

Yeah, I'd say so. I partially blame MLP for that, and partially my mom. Me, my sister, and my dad would always laugh at my mom for crying during movies, but fast-forward to recent years and every time without fail, we cry at the same scenes (the Christmas movies Klaus and Silent Night come to mind). That didn't start happening until after I begun watching MLP.

At the same time, I also love gore, tattoos, and piercings, I almost exclusively wear dark colors, I ride motorcycles (well, I will when safety courses open back up), and I have a severe case of resting bitch face that has on a few occasions scared people off. Give it a few years and I'll be that gruff biker covered in tattoos and wearing a bunch of leather and metal who walks into PetSmart to pick up a little fluffy bed for their kitten.
