overview

i'm in my weightlifting fairy era!

"weightlifting fairy kim bok-joo" is the only k-drama i've ever watched in full, and it helped lift my mood/brighten my outlook during a low period. this is my weightlifting fairy era because these days i'm feeling better about myself and the person i'm becoming: i'm sleeping better, doing more with my day + seeing friends, and of course, weightlifting. and i'm looking forward to the rest of this year, even if i know it'll be busy... it's a much calmer state of mind than i've been in for a while, so i'm savoring it!

what am i doing?

art

• making some (less fanarty) stickers to give to friends and family!
• in lieu of artfight (bleh), i'm doing some art trades throughout july and august, also with friends.
• waiting on the anthology i was part of to get produced (woohoo!).
• trying to get plans for a cupid comic together...?!

site

• working on a cupid page, and brainstorming a general oc page.
• thinking about how to organize my more complex oc/canons!!
• I WANT TO MAKE MY FE3H SHRINE ALREADY!!! i just gotta sit down and plan what to put in it...

personal

• i started weightlifting and am really liking it! i'm not naturally athletic/movement-inclined, so finding a workout i enjoy is a win.
• a friend and i want to start a book club with anyone in our friend group who is interested.
• i'm going on a bunch of trips in august, before i start back at school!

obsessing over:

• i am still just in my ducktales era. i don't know what to tell you.

i'd like to balance my days better.

my days have been pretty leisurely because i've just been killing time before my program (which was moved to september) starts back up again. for the rest of this month and august, i've gotta start preparing, so i hope i can figure out a plan to work on school stuff AND fun stuff for me without doing too much in either direction and get back to studying feeling sufficiently prepared.

want to watch: mythic quest
want to play: ace attorney, specifically apollo justice and tgaa
want to read: the fetishist, the odyssey, flowers in the attic
(all of these are still the same... i just read a doll's house between april and now)
