oh GOD that is gross.... the thought of losing a fingernail really unsettles me. I'm super careful about these sorts of things because the thought of it makes me queasy, haha. hand accidents are a common thing in my family... my dad got bitten by a snake, my brothers hand went through glass, my sister broke her finger when bowling and my mum the door story. i have to be really careful but i feel like i'm just waiting for it to happen... uGH. pls no...

I haven't bought any in so long now and it makes me sad :( I used to be more keen to buy stuff for myself but in recent times I've just been saving. saving is good and I'm doing great but I do feel it's important to treat yourself sometimes too.

yeah she's all fixed up now, this was many years ago so everything has healed up but one of her fingers is a little shorter now because of it. on the bright side it's certainly an... interesting story to tell people :') haha

here they are! they're super duper cute :D

I actually have 999 sitting on my shelf (for about 2 years now) but never got around to playing it. I feel like I'd enjoy a lot of visual novels, but honestly, I haven't played many of them. Does Ace Attorney count lol? Because I love those.

oh god WHAT. that sounds absolutely terrifying and gross... my mother actually lost the tip of her finger in a slammed door once which is so gross. I was there and it was a very terrifying experience for a younger kid to witness. jeez. she was in and out of hospital for months after to get finger fixed up. :x eugh

I'd love to get one of those too!! I saw these Meowth Pikachu plushies that I really want. have you seen them online? I believe they're a new series. if not I'll try to find a pic. :]

oh god I would never attempt one of those... I'd probably end up losing my grip and falling to my DOOM in all honesty. I don't feel very adventurous tbh which might be a big hinderance to me but it's kinda hard to get yourself pumped to do stuff like that. I dunno, maybe some day. but even ice skating kinda spooks me out a bit. I am Not cool.

I'm not really much for toys but I do like them a lot all the same! I'm definitely into the plushes though. kinda wanna buy some more from amazon recently but I've been focussing on saving and not buying stuff I don't need to so I'm conflicted... is there anything you've got your eye on recently? :D

I hope you feel better real soon!

that sounds like a lot of fun! i'm a little bit scared of heights but i'd be willing to give it a try. how do you handle heights? and i agree, scotland is super pretty. i'd also love to check out ireland in full, especially the republic. so many cool places to check out.

cuute! i feel like i've actually owned some of those before, especially that charizard. i really need to collect more stuff like that instead of just going for the plushes but the plushes are addictive... i can't help it.

I play a little bit of everything, but I'm most definitely an RPG fan first. It's pretty much been that way since playing FFIX back in the day. How about you?

don't worry :D it's COOL BY ME. patience is a virtue and all that. I hope you haven't been stressing out too much!

I'd really love to visit Bristol, it seems like a super lovely place. any places you'd visit recommending there? there's still much of my own country to visit so i really should consider doing more of that before i rush off to others. America was a big exception and waaay too expensive.

ya, sure thing. PM me anytime you want. :) the closest thing I have to "anime" would be a shirt of Dio Brando from JoJo, I have no cosplay items at all :')

and yeah I'm AWFUL at unpacking. I probably still have some stuff packed from when I went to America... but mostly my room is really empty so there's not much for me to pack at all when I go away somewhere. I suppose that's actually kinda helpful. B) i'm definitely a cleanfreak so having an empty space is fine by me. no clutter! also, i need to get a kapp'n plushie next. he's like one of my fave characters. who's yours?

I'll give them a try! if you ever want more Bowie recommendations just ask, I know it all B]

It's hard to recommend since everyone has varied favorites when it comes to Tales. I think Symphonia, Abyss, and Vesperia are definitely the most popular titles in the fanbase. Graces f and Xillia 1/2 for the PS3 are pretty solid.

dang that sucks. I went out in it for a little bit and got covered! I was so happy though. it hasn't settled here since early 2013 so almost 4 years!

that sounds super fun, then! I might have to give it a try sometime soon. especially for the games stuff. B) I've always wanted to go to E3 in America and play some of the Nintendo games. have you ever been? and where are ya from? I'm located in Essex currently! I have been my whole life. it's... interesting here. not huge on it.

and yo nice! did you take any pics? i've never done any cosplay but maybe some day. B)

aaand here is the stuff!

I have heard of them, but never listened! do you have any recommendations?

hey Owl, that's totally cool by me. B) I'm actually doing great! it snowed here today so I'm SO HAPPY. is it snowing where you are?

ya I might give that one a try! big crowds don't really bother me too much but it can be a bit intense so ya I dunno... I'm in the south! near London, to be specific. I can travel pretty much anywhere but going up north might be a bit tricky. :x not sure about that one. have you ever done any cosplay?

you gotta show me pics of your merch! i'll take some pics of my animal crossing stuff really soon. B) it's in a nice sorta... shrine... which sounds weird. not a shrine. idk. and he definitely is! i don't get why nintendo has gotta be so cruel to my boy bob :(

listen to Low or Station to Station - they're incredible Bowie albums! I adore them

it was really good, yeah! I had actually never been to a convention before then so it was a pretty great experience. B) I'd love to go to one again, do you know any good ones in England? I'm not really much of an anime watcher anymore but I still adore conventions all the same. I'd probably dress up as a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or something tbh.

woah, you flew over Russia? it's a shame you didn't get to stick around for a bit instead of Russian off....

I have Bunnie in my main town!!! she's so cute. since I own two rabbits I obviously adore her 8) I also have a plush of her in my room... definitely a big Bunnie fan. I'm an eternal Bob fan but I don't have any merch of him very sadly :( I wanna get some but I couldn't find any on Amazon. I might find some at a con though.

yesss I was watching too! David Bowie was truly one of the greatest musicians of his time and all of time imo, whether or not people liked his music it's hard to deny his influence on music, even today. there are traces of him everywhere! I'm not sure yet but I'll read soon and let you know 8) I'm just terrible at getting around to reading... oops

lol, they're way past Annie too. They're on Atelier Sophie as of right now, with a new game coming out in a few months as well.

Familiar with the Tales of series? Decided to give Tales of Zestiria another chance since I originally put just 10 hours into it before giving up. It's prequel is out the 24th of this month hence my decision to replay it, lol.

hey don't worry! I'm really glad you are FREE. how long did that take ya?

I honestly didn't get up to a whole ton. I met up with a really good friend and we did a lot of hanging out, mostly at a convention called Sakura Con and a few other places there that were really pretty. all in all Seattle is a fairly quiet and standard place but it was still super exciting to travel to a new country. I'd really like to go to Japan too! it's an incredible place but I just worry for my wallet... since I collect a lot of stuff I know it'll suffer :')) and wow Ukraine? it's one of those places I'm guilty of forgetting tbh... but it sounds super interesting.

there are loads of new villagers that were in the older games but have now returned, yeah! my favourite is Ketchup the duck, a literal tomato duck. I love it. I LOVE DUCKS. who's your favourite villager? :D and you should definitely consider getting a Switch if you like the games. i'm just concerned about the price tag tbh...

I used to love reading but I haven't done so in a while :( as a kid all I'd do was read but then video games and the internet came along and boom... but I did get a David Bowie book recently so I'm definitely gonna read that. David Bowie is the best.

I can imagine! I'd really love to go study in a whole new country but I might be a bit scared being so far away from my home. :( I'm sure the experience is amazing but I'm such a scaredy cat, haha. MAYBE SOME DAY. I wanna travel a lot at least so gonna have to get used to it. I stayed in Seattle for like a week in 2014 which was super duper lovely, had a really great time there :] I miss it quite a lot.... where do you think you'd like to go next? :O

and yeaaah I'm not sure I'd like to go into detail about all my course stuff over visitor messages but maybe I can in the future!

you could do! the amiibo cards for AC are really nice to collect too, and not too expensive. it's just annoying when you get doubles and i do a lot. ;_; but they have actual uses within the game now so it's handy to get them. I love the big update they've done! I don't really play many games recently but I'm super excited for the Nintendo Switch. are you looking forward to the direct coming up in a few days? :D

yeah it's pretty minimalistic. it looks kinda plain now i'm looking around but i'm happy with it so that's what counts. the rest of the house is starting to shape up too even if it isn't totally my style. we're gonna be working on the kitchen next which is my favourite! very excited. :D do you read a lot?

Now there's a game I haven't heard mentioned in awhile. It was one of my favorite PS2 games back in the day. Surprisingly, the series is still going strong.

I'm mostly just playing Moon atm. I have a few PS4 games here and there that I'm slowly progressing through, too.

I suppose if you feel it's worth it then the money shouldn't matter too much! it's important to get educated in the way you feel comfortable so hopefully that's the case for ya! online courses definitely make me feel within my element so that's why i've been doing them. i've noticed much more personal progress so that's where i'm at right now. :D

you should! i have like... 2000 hours on ACNL somehow. i don't even know it's embarrassing but it's SUCH A GOOD GAME. when did you buy it? it's probably my favourite game of all time honestly, maybe even more than pokemon and I love pokemon so much. the AC amiibo are actually my favourite given how well designed they are. they're much prettier than the pokemon ones!

it's just the design. i'm a bit more modern than the rest of my family i guess so it's just how it turned out! what's your style?

oh goodness PLEASE ignore the username change I don't even understand. I am always Achromatic at heart!!!

student loans put me off so badly, seriously. I just don't have it in me to pay off that sorta thing so I've avoided it like the plague. :( any money I get I just hoard now and don't let out of my sight. i'm like that duck. i forget the name but i'm sure you know the one, haha. and yup, those are amiibo! i have a lot of animal crossing amiibo too. :D have you ever played animal crossing?

oh man i know the feeling. my house is super duper old and creaky, basically feels like it's falling apart half the time. :( painting is super nice though and i miss doing it. gotta get back into the swing of it soon now the holidays are over! my room is super modern looking but the rest of the house looks really old fashioned... but in a sorta pretty way.

woah. honestly that doesn't sound hugely enjoyable to me... I think you'd have to REALLY love Japan to wanna go from place to place to place each night. that sounds so tiring and I probably wouldn't even have much fun if I did that. I'm not really saving up for travelling necessarily but hopefully if I need the break, I'll have enough to take one in the future. cute keychain btw 8) in case I didn't already send it (I have the worst memory) here's my stuff: http://imgur.com/a/PO0QF

and ooh! you're decorating? any particular reason or just felt like it? my family has been working on decorating the entire house to get it to look nicer. we've completed maybe 2 or 3 rooms but there's a decent chunk of work to do still. i've actually been having a lot of fun decorating even though so it can be pretty stressful.

oh god that sounds SUPER stressful... I hope you don't overwork yourself! and I'll be hopefully running social media accounts for companies at some point! I've done a lot with PC's platforms (twitter and youtube notably) so I've got a bit of experience already

Yeah, they did. Unfortunately, it failed to capture the charm (among other things) of the first pair of games, but it's still really solid. I guess after waiting 7 years for a sequel, people were just expecting a little more from it.

Playing some Sun and Moon atm, I assume?
