Hello! I know I've chatted with you a bit already in my hobbies thread, lol, but here's an official welcome. I thought you were new face! (I am too, just slightly less so XD)

@ArsenicAttitude: Yeah, Wicked Whims is a hefty mod to be sure, but I guess it's understandable with how much extra you could potentially add with it. I have some mods for like, expanding the personalities to six options instead of three, stuff like that. Because I'm a picky bitch when it comes to my characters, lol. Also custom drinks and custom food, because I like options, lol. Oh and the one that lets you do things like change character's outfits after creation, MC Command Center.
Come to think of it, my one concert that wasn't open-air was a fairly small venue, too. Maybe that's why it wasn't too bad for me. o3o What band did you see? (you don't have to answer, I'm just nosy lol)

I knew I'd heard it before but I didn't know it was from Robert Frost. :O And yeah, it's a pretty good philosophy, honestly. Though admittedly I've never played those games so I may be missing a bit of the joke. ;)

@ArsenicAttitude:
Sims 4 just gets so much more play/replay value with CC! Like the stuff packs and expansions are great and all, but they're often so paltry and then you get something from a CC creator (or group) and it's like. Holy crap this pack is better than the official packs! I know with my version of Sims 4 it won't let me play unless the game is up-to-date, so then I have to keep my mods updated, generally. I've had it refuse to start if I don't, like crash before it really starts, lol. Which sucks considering it takes five years for the darn thing to launch and load a save in the first place.
I'll check them out! If you like Acceptance and The Little Trashmaid than you clearly have good taste. ;)
YES same, plus with anxiety from noise/crowds I can barely survive a day at a convention! Then again I have been to concerts, but except for the like one they were open-air with seating and stuff so they weren't super stressful. (and the one that was in a club was so fun, even though I was there alone, that it kinda overrode my anxiety, lol.)
@Purpsy:
Sketchbooks and journals are special, though, they're different than just any old junk, so I totally get wanting to keep them. And saaaame I love notebooks! I recently got into Moleskine journals; I have a lineless one for sketches (half-full now, I'm proud of that!), a lined one for keeping my recipes, and I'm currently heavily debating this denim-covered one (still the same size as the others) that I can use as a mini scrapbook--I want to put iron-on patches on the cover! I really fell for Moleskine journals hard; I'm kinda happy to have an excuse to get a new one, lmao.
I did recently get paintbrushes, too, but technically I bought them (and some paint) for painting the faux stone backdrop I'm making for a terrarium I'm building, lol. They're nothing fancy but I as long as I take care of them I'm sure they'll last a while. Also I've wanted a tablet for a while; what I do mostly when I draw recently is sketch on paper, 'scan' it in with my phone, then digitally line and color it with the mouse using line tools and stuff (I have learned some neat tricks though!)
I haven't gotten a new one in quite a while, but I've in the past been working on replacing favorite books from my childhood, especially in hardback when I can find them. I love them so much, but they're in storage in a friend's unit in California and I'm just praying that I'll be able to get them shipped to me eventually (I'm in Florida now x.x ). I have some really cool science books that were a nightmare to track down and I was on cloud nine when I got them, plus I have this wicked 'fantasy creatures' encyclopedia set my grandfather--who passed a couple years ago--got me when I was little (the full set goes for like $400 USED, so replacing it might be impossible for me). They mean a lot to me so I'm prepared to sink a fair bit into getting them shipped, I just hope I can come up with the money when the time comes.
Those are some of the best book series, omg!! I remember borrowing my cousins' Goosebumps books as a kid and just loving them. And I grew up on Babysitter's Club books! And Nancy Drew a bit, too. Thrift stores are often a good start, though I've also gotten quite a few of my 'replacement' books via eBay. It's kind of shocking how cheap you can get books for sometimes, as long as it's not like super rare.

@Ava:
Lol you know, that honestly does make sense! I can get the 'mean' out of my system without actually being mean to anyone. :)
@Colin:
I quite like the verse in your post style and quote in your sig. Just wanted to say. :D

@Totalanimefan: Cookies & Cream from Edy's/Dreyer's. Good stuff! :D

@Wildfire: Haha, yes, I'm happy to be 'weird'. Most of my friends are to some extent as well. I actually have a quote on my wall: "Don't ever be ashamed of loving the strange things that make your weird little heart happy." :D
And thank you! I commissioned it from a very talented friend.

@ArsenicAttitude:
Lol that's valid, I think that's been the case for most people for the past year and a half! I know when I got out lately it's like "must wear favorite clothes because who knows when I'll get another chance!" even if it's just like, running to Walgreens. XD
Yeah, I love the Sims, but whoo boy do I love to customize, and there just isn't enough options built into the base game! I do hate having to update the mods every time I decide to play, though.
I honestly haven't heard of any of those but I might just have to check them out! I know I binged the first 70 'episodes' of Acceptance when I first found it. I need to get back to it, actually.
Yeah, it's a rave thing. I never went to raves and it's not really my scene (loud noises and crowds are so exhausting for me), but I've had a fascination with kandi for years, and it looks like fun to make and collect even if I don't go partying. (I do have an OC who's all about raving, though; I kinda live vicariously through her, lol!)

@Wildfire: Lol no worries, I know Sea Monkeys are on the stranger side of the hobby spectrum. Most of my hobbies are, lol. (My dad once was encouraging me to basically fake other interests to make "real" [as opposed to online] friends. I explained that I don't wan people to be my friend on the basis of BS! And this was only about three years ago, when I was already in my 30s. Dad's gotta dad, I guess.)
Aw, thank you! And I wish, lol, I'd love to be that fit (within reason at least). But kinda? The hair is about as close as I could get to what I have normally (it's really grown out irl at the moment thanks to the pandemic) and I do actually want to dye it, though I think I want to go teal, not blue. The rest is sort of close-ish I guess. Usually my avatars aren't 'me' but the first one often is, or at least as close as I can get lol.
The art on my profile, though, is actually me, albeit at more my target weight than my current. It's even one of my favorite outfits, lol.
Also your current avatar is so pretty! Very sort of iridescent looking colors. o3o

@MoodyB: I have depression, bipolar, and a slew of anxiety disorders (and possibly ADHD). It is definitely exhausting. Here's to more 100% (or at least closer) days in the future!

@ArsenicAttitude: I haven't done everyday makeup (a full face anyway) since high school, lol. At some point I just decided it was more trouble than it was worth (to me at least). I'm always amazed by people who do their makeup all nice, especially when they do it every dang day! I'm just not patient enough I guess, lol.
I love Stardew Valley and Sims 4 (I have over 10GB of custom content for the latter >_>; ). I really want to play Animal Crossing sometime, it looks so fun and peaceful. I've only seen glimpses of Miitopia, though I used to play the Mii app, whatever it was called, when it was around (kinda miss that actually).
What webtoons do you read? I recently got into one called "Acceptance" that's super cute, and I also read "The Little Trashmaid," which is adorable, though a bit sad (with a good message on littering).
I know people incorporate perler bead 'pendants' in kandi jewelry, too, and I've been fascinated by and wanted to learn to make that for years too. Maybe perler beads will be my gateway into kandi, too! :vanora-celebrate:

@MoodyB: Oh gosh, as a chronic illness sufferer myself (invisible ones at that), I understand. What it must be like to be 100% regularly!
