NEW RULE: NEVER TRUST HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR LIFE AFTER 9PM back?

i went to a revolving sushi place near me that was doing a pikmin collab. 15 plates for a little random pikmin trinket.. either a magnetic bookmark, popsocket, or acrylic keychain. all had three ver, of the primary pikmin. i got to 15 plates easily enough with my mom. i got the yellow pikmin popsocket... was really hoping for acrylic keychain. i made up my mind to go to 30 plates. a difficult journey... watermelon meta saved me. i ate over 10 plates of watermelon alone. then i got.... a red pikmin popsocket............ i asked the server if i could exchange it bc i got the same type twice, n he was like "yea sure ill bring it over" and brought this box w a bunch of them gachapons. i expected to exchange so i wanted to give red pikmin popsocket back, but server was chill n like nahhh just get another one. and i got RED PIKMIN ACRYLIC KEYCHAIN. i cheered it was So worth eating that much sushi and watermelon. oh my mom and i also got all the collab dishes (red pikmin crunchy roll, yellow pikmin cheese tamago, blue pikmin cheesecake.) that cheesecake was so good guys.
theres a chance i might be able to go on a backpacking trip to japan and south korea for two weeks in 2026. thats two years away but i am So excited by the opportunity.. i miss japan a lot. i remember my memories from there very fondly. those trains are so cool. gah. akihabara.. ensemble stars...

in light of it being a backpacking trip (ie only one bag allowed) ive been researching that a lot. gotten very excited abt it... ive wanted to pack for a trip like this for a while but somehow ive never come around to it. im going to sweden again for christmas, so great time to test out one bag. also been wanting a better backpack for a WHILE so again! interests are aligning here!!!
also really wanting to be around nature.. im again listening for bird calls on my walk home from the bus. fall is truly here.. cold in the mornings.. leaves changing vibrant colors... visited apple orchard again.

STILL SICK!!!! T__T..
today was very fufilling. had a breakfast at waffle house, went to a car wash, went to barnes n nobles, kinokuniya, boot barn... yea. i found these really snappy cowboy boots at the boot barn. they were So cool i cant even convey it to you over html. being in them made me feel 10x more confident. however they Did cost 190$ so maybe once i save up.....
also got jp vols 1 & 4 of oshi ni amagami at kinokuniya. they finally had it in stock... gotta lock in on my jp learning again man. !!! and it got picked up for an official translation, so i got vol 1 of that too. (@^◡^) things have been kinda tumultuous lately so im glad today was a good change of pace.

im a little sick. my throat started hurting yesterday, and ive been sniffling for a week. have chamomile tea with me today, and im dressed in thermalwear w turtleneck and a hoodie on top. very warm(hopefully).
mass of fermenting dregs concert was amazing. seeing them live changes the sound so much... natsuko was phenomenal. her stage presence is insane!!! the crowd was also amazing - my favorite part was definitely whenever you clap along to a song. looking around and seeing everyone in the same rhythm... very cool. though i think i lost a little bit of hearing ^^;
been driving to school most days. the sky looks very nice lately. its finally getting colder where i am: frost on car windows, vapor when you breathe out, frozen dew on the grass. very special ive been waiting for it the entire year.

feeling unproductive. in recent events:
- bought two radiohead cds
- bought a book on birds. very excited to read. its not birds but rather excerpts from american literature about birds.. thinking it will aid greatly in trinket page. once i finish this one ill go back and buy another that caught my eye: "the backyard bird chronicles" by amy tan. the illustrations were so beautiful and id love to draw like that one day...
- drove home from book store
- took photos of my collection by color. only have red, blue, and green done so far but once i get the rest (yellow/orange, pink, maybe black/white?) ill prolly upload em here...
- went to the mountains for apple picking with my mom yesterday! we're trying to do this every year. the apples from there are always the best. this time we stopped along the way and got a pumpkin too. the little shop we stopped at also had an antiques section, so i got a bright red belt buckle. knoxville 1982 worlds fair.
- drove home from the orchard and im very proud of myself. 50 min drive w winding mountain roads? splendid.
- today my little cd shelf came in and im very happy with it.. rlly hoping to buy even more cds soon!!!

- annddd i finally got around to using my new bedsheets. i have a tendancy to use nice things only for the 'perfect' moment, so im trying to break that habit. orange duvet cover w flowers from ikea. theyre So incredibly orange they make me very happy.
