Sheep

Are you watching Lapis ReLights? It's pretty cute and it combines magical girls, high school, and idols. Main character has pink hair!

how's it going? :3

haha, don't mind me, just lurking

'tis been a while, but I might as well say hi! been almost 2 years. xD

I wanted to say I'm a spooky ghost, but that's just too silly

It was, thanks! Seems you had one more recently than me though so happy belated birthday to you as well! I hope you still managed to enjoy the day in the midst of lockdowns really starting to happen at the time.

Korean skincare is incredible! I've noticed all of my friends come back with suitcases filled with Korean beauty / skincare products whenever they go there and for a good reason. Have you seen those 10 step Korean skincare routines? They're super amazing but I can not imagine having the money / energy to use so many products. :')

I feel like the same could be asked of Northern hemisphere winters! Even when you can throw on layers, I'm struggling as soon as it drops below 20 degrees because I'm so used to the heat in Australia. I remember when I went to NYC last Christmas and it snowed? It was super pretty but so so cold, though apparently most people would find it mild (it was only 23F I think?). I remember being super relieved when we got to San Francisco because their winters are like Sydney's - it was a pleasant 60F in comparison. :D

Nearly three years late now but thank you! :)

No worries Sheep, I've been away for a couple of weeks anyway! Thanks though :)

happy to help. o/

btw, i remade my love live twitter (this wasn't by choice, long story) it's @kirihara_atom again

nw! I also missed this thinking I responded earlier but it turns out I never hit send :'D

Oo what do you like about the idea of living in Japan / South Korea specifically? The UK has always sounded great - either the city or the countryside. I know it isn't too different from Australia apart from the weather and history but it has a different, cosier feeling. And yes we have some err not so positive statistics but as you said sunscreen is the holy grail in Australia!! You said you've visited here before right, was it a lot different to what you were expecting? :o

You guys forgot about this user's name change request.

This isn't something I normally try to poke staff about, but I figured I would since it seems this one was forgotten about.

Thank you for this! You're so kind.

I'm getting back into my usual schedule, and happy to be back! I hope you are well Jana <3 <3 <3

I'm good, how about you?
I'm ready for quarantine to be over too.
I hear ya

Ah, fair enough :D Have you guys thought about what country you'd choose to live in long term if you could? I sort of understand - wanted to work in the US in the past so I could go around to see all the national parks / famous cities but it's just... not the best country for a lot of reasons (guns, healthcare, politics etc.). :(

At least you're doing a lot of travel now which is really cool! Switzerland was really pretty from memory - especially the snowy mountains!!

That's awesome being able to go for half a year, would you guys be looking to live in South Africa permanently if possible then :o Or elsewhere?

Yeah, it's for school! Am going for a 1 yr exchange as part of my uni degree, haven't decided where I'll be studying yet but I was thinking the UK as I'd be excited to go around the rest of Europe during the summer. I've always wanted to revisit Switzerland, we were there for 2 hours tops but it seemed so nice. And nice :O A lot of people seem to have made tons of progress with ACNH, I think I haven't touched it in a few weeks yikes

:O That's the only time I get out of the house these days actually! We live near a national park which is really lucky as I love hiking and the trails are relatively quiet. Otherwise I try to just walk some of the quieter streets / parks which is very relaxing to do around sunset. Been trying to walk in new parts of the neighbourhood, makes it feel more exciting I guess?

Aw sounds relaxing! Have you been playing a lot of ACNH? That's really frustrating about the travel ban, sounds like the worst. :( South Africa has always sounded exciting to visit, I hope that when you go it's a good time. A 1 month stay sounds amazing. Am in a somewhat similar position, I'm meant to go travel overseas for a whole year next year but not sure how that will go... hopefully OK?

Aw that's still really unfortunate for your mum but I'm glad it wasn't too drastic of a reduction! Thankfully employment here seems OK but I really feel for all the small businesses hit by the pandemic :( How have you been passing time during the pandemic? Things are easing here but am still stuck at home to protect my grandma's health.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can go and travel soon! Where are you aiming to go? :o

ooh yeah, i know the old mental exhaustion game. it really sucks, i hope you can find some respite where possible!! i'm...okay, now. for the first time in a long time i'm as close to being okay as possible i think! i quit uni because i was studying for a degree i didn't really want & had basically been forced into by my school/college before i applied, alongside uni REALLY not being the atmosphere for me. i have always, very obviously, wanted to be a writer/creative and my parents are currently allowing me to stay at home and work on my writing for now! not sure how long i'll have this kind of opportunity for so i jumped on it and i'm not looking to the future just going for it and writing stuff!!! as a result of the life change im off the antidepressants i'd been on for like... 2 and a half years now?

sorry for the rant, just felt like it was worth mentioning!! thanks janna, i know i can always pop in and say hi to you when i come back! :]

Hihi, I've been OK! The world's obviously not in a good place at the moment so I consider myself very lucky to be able to lead quite a normal life right now. Basically been cycling between exercise, reading and watching TV when I've had free time outside of uni. How has everything been on your end? Also I love your AC theme <3
