I am so reluctant .-.

So I'll do some chores today, some packing. That's the goal. But the reluctance means I'm sticking my feet in the mud and just wasting time on youtube rather than get things done

I'll do it but I'm so against leaving it's ridiculous. I was pretty worried about it when I initially agreed. I know I got guilted into it. Sam, surprisingly, was against me coming home

Not at all because she doesn't want to see me, but because I'm doing so well here it seems stupid to pull me away from a healthy environment

Guys, I'm just glad someone in the family gets it

Like. I was apprehensive staying with Sam but I think she'll be the best fit while I get my feet under me before going to the farmhouse

Sam and I bicker a lot. We aren't close siblings like hanging-out wise. We're distant and have opposite interests. But we've been through shit together and I'd like to think we have each other's backs emotionally speaking and she has a far better grasp of my personality than I'd like to admit

I am trying so hard for optimism

I have a big guild event tonight for BDO and then I'm on hiatus until I get things set up. I wanna be present in-game by July 1st but I'll be 12 hours off from the server and that's gonna strain things

Even though I'm telling the guild it's fine, I'm nocturnal, you can't get rid of me~

I'm also thinking Ffffffuck this is gonna suck

One of our members killed a content creator at random and bragged about the kill on our discord server. The CC is controversial in a lot of ways. He has fans and he has haters and no one seems to be in-between. The CC has been getting a LOT of backlash lately and the fans are antsy

So the CC has a bounty system and he rewards hunters with putting their names on his streams/videos

And now an officer of ours is going onto the discord server with a secondary account to check the bounties in case our idiot member's name shows up

We scolded the member publicly but sheesh

To the officer's credit. Our second-in-command, which he's accidentally become just because he's too damn good at helping out, poor guy

Second was right behind me in calling the member out. Posting a screenshot of the bounty channel with "Can't wait to see your name" lol

My method was "Please avoid unprovoked violence, ty" and just repeating that

The channel he bragged in is PUBLIC this idiot aaaa

WAIT does this mean you're going to be around here for a while or

FOREVER.

lol

No plans to return to Asia at this time

I think if I had plans to come back I wouldn't be so sour

Well you know where I live, hit me up if you wanna hang out at any point!

WE WILL

I'll be more stable in the fall

Summer I'm staying with Sam in Albany

Fall I'm moving to the farmhouse my dad got

If you wanna see Monticello uhhhhhh we're neighbors LOL

Totally fair! I'm sure there will be a real adjustment period haha

And oh LOL yeah I know exactly where that area is, I've been down there before haha

Yeah. James Madison's place is the ACTUAL neighbor but Monticello is like 6 miles away so

Yeah. We'll be there...

But yeah IT'S BEEN FOREVER so I would absolutely love to get to see you again

WE MUST it has been actual ever forever

IT REALLY HAS

YEARS

LITERAL. YEARS.

IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS-- /Titanic soundtrack

ohhhhh too soon

LOL

... OH WHOOPS YEAH I GUESS SO

I. Wasn't even thinking about that fff

lmao someone made that joke in vc and everyone was like BRUUUUUHHHHH

SEE I WAS JUST PICTURING THAT GIF

Yeah, don't worry I know what you mean

The goal is GMU for an MA in teaching Chinese

So if that works..... I'll be back in DC area

Oh, the Virginia Square campus, or?

NO IDEA

That one is really nice, I took classes there at one point

I think it's ......................... Fairfax....... squints

Ah, okay, so main campus, then

STILL. CLOSE ENOUGH

Admittedly, I need to do more research

yessssss it'll suffice

I keep telling myself I should learn Chinese too but

This will sound strange, but it's easy

The learning curve is only at beginner's level

I think it probably would be considering I already know Japanese and can read a lot of the characters!

It's easy once you have basics because everything just builds off the basics

Yeah, reading should be a bit easier

It would be way less of a hurdle than starting completely cold

Yaaaa

Try to learn it with zhuyin

Or bopomofo

Don't learn through pinyin

Zhuyin goes by characters and sounds, it's like hiragana but there's no romanization equivalent

good luck with travel and also packing

Oh yeah, that shouldn't be hard at all then

THANK YOU. I thought the cats would be the struggle but actually it ME

BUT YEAH whenever you're actually in this area feel free to hit me up at any time to hang out!

Will do~
