hello this is the OPPOSITE of what i should be doing right now (packing my things and such) but i didnt want to have that last journal entry be the last because it makes me SAD
so, i'm moving to another youth living facility thingy tomorrow and i do Not want to. i lived there for three days about a month ago to test how i'd get along with everyone and the
other residents were all nice (+ theres two trans people there as well) but i think i just hate the idea of leaving home again... i'm scared that i'll lose most of the contact with my current friends
because i won't have that much time anymore.
i already know that getting a plug won't be an issue so i'm at least glad about that because i genuinely don't know if and how i would survive this scenario without a little chemical assistance...
i hope i can be friends w the non binary person who lives there because they are immensely cool. like tremendously so. almost a world-shaking amount of coolness. they're the one i shared a room with
while i lived there on trial and they are so fucking cool i cannot put this into words. AND pretty too. i am Insane we talked like ten times max. BUT they lent me their salt lamp and their charger and
they said my shirt was cool. IT ISNT its red and has a gecko on it. Not cool. Cute at best Embarrassing at worst. Sorry i will stop talking about this stranger now.
I've been thinking about asking the people in the group to call me by my chosen name or a variation of it. i think they would do it if i asked but i dont want to ask lol.. maybe i'll just start by having the other residents call me niko and hope the adults understand without me having to elaborate! it would def be nice to not be deadnamed 24/7 so. Yeap.
i need a project to keep me busy and otojam literally starts tmrw so i might try my hand at that again, reviving a concept for a game thats been in my brain for years now lol... maybe i'll put a little devlog on here
but i don't know how comfortable i am sharing my frankly embarrassing interest in Dating Simulators... ^_^;; IM SIXTEEN I CAN BE CRINGE!!!!!!!!!!
i've some general concepts and character designs and a rough story flow but no real details just yet but i've got two months and i'm pretty fast when it coes to EVERYTHING but plotting so i'll be fine. even if, you can submit demos, too so there's really no need for stress.
being a completely solo dev Sucks ass because i cant make music to save my life. I AM NO TOBY FOX! so i'll have to figure out what to do there. best i can do is a shitty accoustic guitar tune or literally using something from the web....... but the rest i can manage. im no expert artist or writer or programmer or ANYTHING but ive taught myself enough to at least not be completely inept. but MUSIC? cant do it!!!!
Speaking OF music (excellent segue) i've been listening to lots of Sea Power and Arab Strap recently. dont really know why, it's spring thats usually not when i fall into these melancholia rabbit holes...? whatever. GIVE THEM A LISTEN !!!!!!!!!! i've been especially obsessed with
deeper by arab strap. its really ambient and hardly even a song (more of a poem?) but i LOVE love love it. hits so deep. GOD. also just the entire philophibia album.... i LOVE ARAB STRAP. and theyre named after the belle + sebastian song. i LOVE BELLE AND SEBASTIAN!!!!!!!!!!! perfect band literally no notes.
OKAY its time for me to go. NIKO OUT (o゜▽゜)o☆
