Welp, August just started less than 10 minutes ago. I can't believe how quickly 2024 is flying by, before you know it we'll be halfway through the decade. At least I still have a month and a bit of summer holidays left, I intend to make it count.
Let's go, 14 years of Tory government is over!!!
And yes I don't love Labour but they're immensely better than the Tories, especially when it comes to trans rights
Also the person who I voted for in my constituency won and I'm thinking of writing to them
Let's go I just did LSJ for the first time ever after! (edit: LSJ stands for Life Shroom Jump, a frame-perfect glitch that lets you Flip, and subsequently jump, if you revive with a Life Shroom in midair, in this case after dying to the 3d meter whilst jumping across the gap that normally requires the green bridge)
By skipping Thoreau you unlock him after beating the level and even activate a special message that normally isn't possible to see in normal gameplay!
Translation: In a basement in Steinaltstadt (Yold Town) waiting, this Pixl has heard of your adventures. Wurfowitz (Thoreau), the throwing Pixl, is now your friend!.
Do you know what's awesome? Your theme this month is Sweetie Belle and my Mario Wiki signature for this month has Sweetie Belle in it! This is truly the month of Sweetie Belle (Mind blown)!
Hey folks, I'm afraid that my second uncle [my maternal grandfather's sororal nephew] died today... I wasn't close to him at all so it hasn't affected me much myself, but I feel so sorry for my second cousin because she'd be about 13 or 14 now, and her dad's death was really sudden and out of nowhere - a heart attack with no underlying health conditions. It's honestly terrifying to have that happen to someone in my family, and to know that something like that could happen to someone closer to me, even healthy people, so suddenly.
The first time in 3 years that I've themed as a Mario character despite this being a Mario forum lol (since Antasma in March 2021). That is if you don't count my "default" theme with the Amayzee Dayzee avatar.
The end of my 1 year streak of Ever After High themes. Which started only 2 months after I finished my 1 year streak of MLP/EqG themes
Only the 4th Mario character I've themed as, and it continues the streak that all of them have been villains: Grubba, Cackletta, Antasma, and Grape.
The very first time I'm theming as a non-RPG Mario character.
The first time I'm theming as a character from upcoming media
Birthday updates:
I went to a play yesterday which is why I wasn't around here much. It's the first time afaicr that my birthday hasn't been spent either at mandatory school/university or just chilling/gaming at home.
My family made me a great cake (Victoria Sandwich)
My presents were:
An Ever After High birthday card written in EAH lingo
Two EAH-themed mugs
Two bottles of Soju (one Peach flavour and one Mango flavour).
