All this staying home has made me slowly clean the house.
|
Well, shopping today was certainly an...adventure. We did manage to get pasta and toilet roll - although I had to go further afield for them into smaller shops - but crisps? Nope. No soluble painkillers either, so if I catch anything I won't have any relief =/
I HATE panic buying. People need to calm the fuck down and stop being so bloody selfish. |
The UK has finally ordered the closure of bars, restraunts and the like, though it was a bit strange of them to announce on Friday that they'd be closed from Saturday onwards. Gave people the chance to flock to the pubs on Friday night for cut-price drinks. Takeaways are still open though, can imagine they'll be busier than ever tonight.
|
this sucks.
like... as much of an introvert as i am, i still need to go outside every once in a while. and while i get that i'm not disallowed to do that per se... it's just... boring. i can't go to the park anymore, because i don't want to risk exposing myself and becoming a risk. i can't really go out and escape the house like i want to sometimes and it really bothers me. i get that this is a minor, selfish complaint in the grand scheme of things, and the virus pandemic has affected me in far worse ways that i don't want to get into, but still. i can only hope that this passes sooner rather than later. i get safety is top priority but a lot of people's lives (including my own) are affected by this and being stuck without a path forward isn't fun. |
I am back and I am in quarantine. We have a duty to everyone right now to practise social distancing. I just rushed home from a country which (at the time I left) had no cases, but I am quarantining myself in my room for two weeks because going through international airports is more than enough for it to have been passed onto me. My mum is a nurse, therefore a key worker and I am not about to risk letting her get it. Didn't even hug her after the most stressful journey home of my life rushing to get out of Angola hours before the country imposed an international travel ban.
It's a really crap situation and I am completely sympathetic towards everyone's lives who have massively been changed for the time being (I've just potentially lost thousands of £££) but we just can't afford to not live this way for now. |
Guys.....i'm sorry. It's just someone in rl said they were going to escort me to the hospital, and i'm really sorry. I had my bags packed the whole weekend, but she who shall not be named never came. I didn't shower the whole weekend, so I took a shower Sunday night and unpacked once I realized the whole situation has been exaggerated. I decided to come back to PC because I can't live without my Pokemon news. I'm sorry for worrying everyone. If you don't want me here anymore, I understand. I am a bit of a bother to the average person.
I am NOT asking for your pity here. I am asking for your HONESTY! Please, real friends are honest with each other. |
huh. what's that all about o.o
|
This is why we escape to the online world away from the craziness we call life even if it's just for a little bit. We gotta take care of each other and make each other laugh.
|
Outside of working at home and not being able to go into stores because they're closed nothing really has changed for me. I suppose when you're living that lifestyle for years it doesn't affect you as much?
If you're looking for something to do and you're not willing to spend the time inside your head then this would be the perfect opportunity to pick up a hobby you may have neglegted. When you're not able to act in the social sphere then go into the individual sphere, improve something there and when you're allowed to socialize again you have something to show, so to speak. Turn the problem into an opportunity! |
So i'm guessing you guys are accepting me back?
So anyway, I hear rumors on the internet of a March 26th Nintendo Direct. I just pray for ANY Pokemon news if this were the case. What do you think? |
I don't see why we wouldn't accept you back :P
im slowly going coo coo at this point |
Everyone is always welcomed back. We know this is trying times right now and have to be there for each other. :D
|
You guys are the best. I'm going coo-coo as well. And you're right Caite, we should help each other in these hard difficult times.
|
I'm def past coo coo already
|
does anyone else remember outside? i remember outside
|
I remember outside from when I was a child, about 20 years ago. But then I got this weird thing called a Gameboy and outside ceased to exist.
|
I was just camping for 18 weeks straight so this whole don't leave the house thing is quite the change for me. Still, running water, clean clothes and good internet are quite nice to have.
|
i don't really stay outside for long, i don't think. only really leave for essential things and work and that's it lol
|
I was sitting out on the sun porch with the windows open yesterday and then left my bedroom window open all night and it felt great. Touch bit chilly but still felt great. I know we'll be getting rain for the next few days.
|
So what about that Nintendo Direct Mini huh folks? The info at the end about the Pokemon DLC seemed a bit underwhelming in my opinion, but hey, I paid for it so oh well. Something to look forward too.
Xenoblades Chronicles Definitive Edition and Bravely Default 2, I heard good things about their original games which I never played. I must admit BD2 has an amazing art style in my opinion. |
game freak being conservative with what they're revealing as far as swsh news is concerned is not surprising in the slightest. given that was what their aim was pre-swsh release, it's safe to say these kinds of trailers are what we're going to get from here on out.
definitely getting xenoblade chronicles and bravely default 2, though! |
I had the strangest nightmare last night that bolted me out of my bed at 6 in the morning. It was so weird. I was in a doctors office, and this boy from school was eating a steak sandwich with mayo and ketchup. He offered me a piece, then he said he broke up with his gf so we went in his....car and drove...somewhere? We kissed and agreed to be bf ad gf. Then we were in gym class and this OTHER boy was singing to me in the sweetest voice, and we kissed and agreed to be bf and gf. Then the gym teacher offered us mayo and ketchup packets, and the other guy I was previously sharing the steak sandwich with broke down and cried. Then we were practicing for the school play and somehow I got a lead as Donna Sheridan in Mama Mia, and we were practicing the part of the play where Donna meets the potential fathers for the first time and two of the fathers were the two guys I made out with and we messed up the scene. Then I was pacing around my school hallways questioning a lot of things about life, TONS of things about life, and then I woke up scared out of my mind.
Okay, i'm a girl in rl, but i've been questioning my sexuality lately so it was a very awkward (and to me scary) nightmare. I don't want to go back to school anymore afraid to see those two guys. I mean they're both taken in rl, but I know them both well, so until I recover from mental stuff, I just want to stay out of school. Speaking of Mama Mia, the school play (which is a big deal in my school) was SUPPOSED to be this weekend, but it was POSTPONED until further notice, so oh well. And NO I was NEVER in the play to begin with NOR do I want to. I don't even want to be in the back stage crew (which I was considering) anymore cause of that nightmare. |
i have gone officially coo coo
|
werent you always
|
yes but actually no
|
I had a mental breakdown this morning tears snot and all. I cried loudly for a good three hours straight this morning. Can I join the coo coo club?
|
my whole month has been a mental breakdown lol

smiling is hard in this day n age :(
|
I have JOINED THE COO COO CLUB! Oh and Soaring Sid, the whole leaving civilization thing was just an over-exaggerated situation.
|
i had another breakdown today too, fortunately the bf was able to help calm me down haha, there is so much stress right now it's hard to stay sane
|
it's hard for me to have anxiety breakdowns unless the bottle in which i stuff all of my emotions in starts overflowing to the point where it can't take much more of it. over the years i've slowly but surely gotten better at generally stuffing my feelings deep inside and being stoic about things for better or worse, even if they're bad things that happen to me. unless it's something i have a lot of personal investment in, i've always tried not to have too much of a reaction to things. helps keep me sane for the most part.
|
Emotions seem to be a weird thing. I'm kinda on the opposite spectrum in that regard: I'm barely able to show any. It even goes way worse when it concerns other people's feelings. Having no empathy I constantly have to remind myself that what people feel sometimes should at least concern me in some way. This lets me ride on this weird slippery slope that starts with "you should feel concerned", goes to "society doesn't want emotionless empathyless jerks" and usually peaks at "when are you finally killing yourself".
There's a lot of effort involved in getting out of it. Sleeping usually helps in some degree. Admitting to yourself that you're too afraid of suicide also helps. Though, I will not guarantee this to work for everyone. The best thing I found, but also the hardest thing, is to realize that you're having bad thoughts and then telling yourself to stop and then stop thinking. After a while things usually calm down. The human mind a piece of work sometimes, isn't it? |
its april fools and I have not been pranked yet i feel the apocalypse is upon us
|
Doesn't feel like April Fools day today. :(
|
i'm wanting today to be over with mostly because i'm not quite in the mood for jokes. u.u
|
I want it to be weekend already :(
|
What is this "weekend" some people speak of??
I'm in my weekend rn, and work is insane thanks to COVID recently, I'm thankful I got to do jack nothin' today except go to a grocery store. Also, pretty much ignored April Fools day today. 2020 is the joke. |

This pandemic is just making it so hard :c
|
it's making things hard for a lot of people, myself included. it's just not a fun time. :s i'm actually hoping to come back to work in a month's time because i really need the money. my bills aren't going to pay themselves, after all.
|
It'll all be fine once Xenoblade Chronicles comes out. Assuming I live to see it...
Supposed to be picking up my laptop from work today so I can finally work from home and I am both dreading the call and having a conversation with my manager... |
i would love for the opportunity to have a work from home job at one point, but i'd have to have a big enough room free of distractions to do so, and that's much easier said than done. i wish i had more of a dedicated office space. .__.
|
I'm anticipating a fair amount of trouble with that in the near future, because I start work very early and my mother will be going in and out of the room I'll be in...and my little brother is at home, and he's loud. Very loud.
But it's either attempt to work from home, quit, or go into the office. I can't quit because I need my job, and I can't go into the office because I'd need to use public transport to get in and out, and I'm not risking my health. The last time I caught a bus in the pandemic I had two separate panic attacks and I nearly broke down in tears in the office >.> |
i get your anxiety about public transport. :s for me, i don't really have a choice because once work starts back up again, it's either take the bus to work or quit and i definitely can't do the latter. x.x
|
Is there no financial support if you can't get to work in a safe way? Pretty sure there is something to that effect in this country...with the US having substantially more cases and the whole care package thing recently approved I thought there might have been. But I haven't been keeping up with the news to a great extent, because reading too much into it is awful for anxiety.
tbh there would be hell to pay if my manager insisted I come to work on public transport, because I have a health condition. That said, I don't think he's happy with me for taking the last couple of weeks off...although it's not my fault that the laptop hasn't come in, and I *did* tell him despite his claim to the contrary. |
it's the US so.... no, not really. it sucks because as someone with a health condition myself it's going to be pretty problematic if i catch this thing, but i don't really have a choice. my job isn't something i can do from home (i work at a restaurant), so either i put up with the reality of the situation or leave. i unfortunately don't have much wiggle room, here.

Firm belief we will all live to play our fav games. |
Speaking of games, seems like New Horizons released at the perfect time! There's such a craze over it and I just want in so badly!! Sigh, maybe next year?
Like you guys I know I'd suffer badly if I caught the virus, since even common colds wipe me out. :s |
I've never been one for Animal Crossing, but New Horizons looks really fun and I kinda wanna play it...
|
heyyy is anything new going on DCC people? o:
|
Feeling extremely nauseous right now and struggling to cope generally =/
But hey. 52 days to go! |
i haven't actually went outside in like 2 or 3 weeks or something idk, at least not even longer than a few seconds.
it's.... getting to be really annoying. |
starting to feel more and more like the dude in my avatar
|
smile more TY
|
mission impossible at this point
|
just got back from a walk
not too many people outside and most seem to be keeping their distance, plus as soon as i notice anyone approaching I move more than 6ft away because i'm paranoid haha otherwise, animal crossing has been keeping me busy!! stay strong everyone |
i can't actually go outside because apparently cops are allowed to arrest people for violating isolation orders LOL
|
Wow. I guess I should be lucky that there's nothing THAT serious where I live (cops arresting people I mean). 97% of businesses are still closed here but oh well.
But in all seriousness, stay safe, wash your hands, and all that stuff you've been told before. ..... Lol? |
it doesnt feel here like anything is closed because i still have as many customers as before >.>
|
Living in a villager has its ups and downs - it's pretty quiet here and easy to keep away from everyone...but the pollen is aggravating my nose and throat and putting me on high alert because I keep coughing =/
|
I do wish i was still living in a cozy village now. We could call a village meeting (outdoors!) and agree on anti covid measures to follow.
|
i would actually LOVE to live in a village. it would seem like so much peace and quiet away from the city life. :o
|
I've been back and forth with Animal Crossing though I'm not as into it as I was when I first got it. It's been REALLY nice the past few days that I went out walking just to get out of the house.
|
Eeeeyyyyyyyy gang, guess whose moving after the pandemic is over? *dances around the room* I'm not moving far though. It's in the same town for some reason literally two minutes up the main road, but i'm so glad i'm getting out of this butt hurt area of town. Also, because it's in the same town, not that it matters because I don't do public schooling, I still am going to the same school so yeah (when school opens again that is).
|
Pretty much what I did a few years ago. Moved literally 2 miles away because the house we had was just to much for Mom and I at the time.
|
so far i've kinda moved around in different parts of my city, and that's likely going to be the case again this year. dunno where to though, and the current situation threw a wrench into things so who knows if i'm going to move at all this year. :s
|
It's to much of a hassle to move. Although my best friend helped Mom do a lot of the moving for us because he wasn't working and I was. So thank God for that...lol. This was the only time I ever had to move as I lived in the same spot for 30 years.
|
I can't imagine how much hassle it'd be moving. Like, getting all your stuff to fit in the new place + getting accustomed to the new (hopefully better) bedroom you'll have. I don't think that's for me.
Lived in the same house all my life. Built by my grandparents in 1979. Dozens of typhoons and 3 major earthquakes later, it still stands strong. I want this place to be my forever home. Can't imagine myself living somewhere else. |
I'm a homebody type so I hated the thought of moving from something my parents put so much work into. I was also the last one in my group of friends to move.
|
i love the idea of moving! not so much dragging suitcases around + flying, but living in a new place sounds so fascinating to me, i wish i could experience it more
|
I wouldn't mind living in a different country but I have to be able to bring my cats because I refuse to give them up. Just like if I were to have to move somewhere it has to allow pets because I'd rather live in a box then give them up. I know one of my cousins had to give up their cat when they moved for work and we ended up taking him and was the most awesome cat ever. I swear he was part dog because I use to take him for walks ALLLLLLL the time and taking him to the parades in town and people loved it.
|
So I’m back. I’m gonna change my avatar and all that later...
Anyways my computer broke again. I do have a back up laptop, so I will get this account set up there soon. Also I have a debate. I want a thing for a game, but my parents made me clean my room and my Pokemon plushes are taking up too much space, but we have little space to move them too. Should I get rid of them or should I give up the game thing? |

Ok, I was able to somehow store my Pokemon and therefore get the game thing I wanted. And fyi, it's for a roleplaying game on Roblox that I like.

i've been art blocked but on the other end, a lot more motivated to play games than usual lately. normally i'm demotivated to do pretty much everything. didn't wanna believe it was depression (even if mild) until somewhat recently haha |
i was gonna mention how dead this dcc was until now but its too late for that i guess
|
Happy weekend, everyone!
Just 28 days to go...28 days... |
