Whew, been a while. So to keep y'all updated, I did go through with the move to WA. I have a room for rent in a house and my landlord and housemate are very nice people. Being in OH with my family was a way stressful living situation so hopefully my time here will give me some space to breathe. Also, you know, it seems generally more LGBT friendly than where I was before. Like I'm still in a more conservative area, but nobody knows me here and omg that alone is so much less pressure. But anyway, I've been improving at my work and I've been getting the hang of things. The holiday season was very busy and stressful and it turns out other stuff caused more stress on top of that (online dating profiles are hahahahababababababababababa) I've decided to go full on pescaterian si that's exciting. I take a daily dose of omega 3's in the form of fish oil pills and just eat fish whenever I'm in the mood for it. I got lots of love from some friends back home that I usually see this time of year, and I'm honestly touched I have people in my life who bother to miss me (aside from just blood relatives, mind you lol). Adulting and budgeting and trying to save money is a new thing, but it looks like I'm managing it alright so far. Other than that, stress is still freaking exhausting, but I feel like I'm overall handling it okay. It's strange finding new ways to manage stress after years of handling it poorly. Also I live with dogs now and omg did I miss having dogs around. Well, that's more or less what's been up with me. How about y'all?

So, just an update here on some of what's currently going on in my life: I started working out! (Finally, you jerk) Just around an hour daily of walking on a treadmill machine thing. My plan is to start small with this along with leg stretches. Once I build up my stamina (and by singing in the shower more much to my family's dismay because I'm tone deaf -in order to exercise my lungs a bit more-) I plan on moving on to a more taxing regiment. I kinda want to invest in a punching bag. I still have loads of frustrations, so I think it could help with a healthy outlet for stress relief. Besides, I hear it's a good workout from people who box. I could also start dancing, maybe practice Hare Hare Yukai like I did forever ago. The point of this isn't to solely lose weight, though. I've seen first hand how damaging neglecting a body can be. Physically, if I keep being lazy and keep eating terrible foods, it's entirely possible my brain's serotonin levels will get out of whack again, then I'll spiral back into a depression and then I'll have to go back to antidepressants to correct it like what happened in my youth. I honestly don't want to live a life where I feel like my only option is to constantly go back and forth being depressed, overly happy and then normal after treatment. And, yeah, it can still come back even if I am healthy and there's no guarantee that it will come back either if I remain a total slob. But here's the thing: this is long overdue. I want to be healthy, I want to stick around for a while, and if I have grandkids or great nieces and/or nephews, I kinda want to meet them. And I know I can't have that if I keep neglecting myself and deprive myself of my own happiness. Let me be clear here: this choice is totally selfish. I'm not doing this for bragging rights, I'm not doing this because I want to feel superior or shame anyone else in a similar position because that's a really terrible thing to do. I'm doing this because I have felt insignificant and ashamed of myself for far too long. It's time I stop treating myself like garbage and start to realize I have actual self worth. Because, you know what? I'm sick of it. I don't feel strong, I feel hopeless. I don't feel inspirational, I feel ashamed. I don't feel like I'm worth it, I feel like a total screwup that should never have existed in the first place. I'm done. It's time to move on from that mentality and that terrifies me. It also makes me really, really excited, though. Goal for 2015: Become healthy physically. One hour of exercise per day minimum, continue to drink enough water and don't push yourself too far. You can do it, jerkface.

Anyway, seeing as I have literally raised every starter in every pokemon game five times over by now (or something like that), I have decided that my starter for Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire shall be a Cleffa of my choosing (trying to Masuda method these things and I'm on my third box. One of them's bound to have good stats) and a lvl 5 Milotic. This shall be done through Pokemon Bank with the hope that I can reuse this method. (I restarted my Pokemon X version and started with a growlith and a togepi. BEST. STARTERS. EVER.) I raised this Milotic( her name is Midori)'s sibling, Akai, to lvl 100 in Black 2. She's one of my bestest fighters, so now I shall raise Midori and have an unstoppable Milotic empire! Or, you know, a fun team for online battles. Not competitions, though. I want to have fun with my video games. =P Only, you know, here's hoping Omega/Alpha's story is actually enjoyable this time! 8D (I played through X/Y's story over three times now... I cannot put up with that stupid, un-fairy tale, pathetic story EVER AGAIN EVER! D8< ) Digressing is fun. Speaking of which, I had a Gravity Falls marathon today. Not through season one yet, but it's right down my ally! I like all of the characters thus far. They really do a good job at having creepy scenes. It's even better when someone immediately breaks the mood. XD I think it has a good formula set up, although I wonder if the entire story will take place in just one summer. The Halloween episode was fantastic about that, so no complaints whatever they decide. In other news, my hair is now long enough to put back into a warrior's bun. It sits on the top of my head and I can't decide if it's adorable or if I look like a total dweeb. It's most likely the second one, so I'll wear a fedora when I want to go out (which will most likely be the case because it looks socially acceptable and this way I get to wear a blue fedora... Man, I really need a bowler hat or something more ridiculous). Anyway, I forgot what it was like to have my bangs not totally invade my face all the time. I missed this way more than I should. In news unrelated to the previous one, I repaid my student loans in full! It left a giant hole in my bank account... Yaaaaaay! 8D Anyway, just keeping a sort of journal about my life thus far in this here blag. Heck, I'll probably look back on my blog in a few years and laugh and laugh or sob extensively in a corner and punch myself in the face. Perspective is fun. Yeah, adult life is kinda boring. Glad I have nerdy interests to preoccupy myself until I wake up in like fifty years or something and I die. (Yeah... being alive as a human kinda takes a while...). MUAHAHAHAHA! ~Melon Lord <3

Okay, so I just wanted to blog. I have no reasons for doing so as nothing eventful has happened in my life lately. I'm still working an average of 6 days a week (though, my seasonal job is coming to a close, so probably by the ides of August I'll have more free time until my baking career demands more hours out of me. I still have two cats and a dog who are adorable. <3 The avocado tree I'm growing is making progress, so that's cool (it's germinating and its sprout is around two inches long now. If I am able to grow avocados I will be eternally happy). The basil I planted still seems to be doing well. Rapunzel, my spearmint which was purchased at the supermarket, is purple, but still appears to be doing well (I named her Rapunzel because she's about four feet or so off the ground and her branches touch the floor). I think she may be suffering from Phosphorus deficiency. I got a few new Lego sets yesterday (The Chima game, a notebook, the Springtime scene, Valentine's heart box amongst others), which are always sooo much fun to build. =3 I have a driving lesson this Friday which will be so much fun. Yaaaaaaay... ... So, yeah... My life's pretty boring. I kinda like it. ^^ What's that, Billy? You want to go partying? GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3
