new blog post! #myblogpost :)

Your geology hike complete with ancient ruins sounds like it was fun as does the weekly collage group. I haven't done Postcrossing in maybe 3 years? But lately I've also been getting the urge to participate again.

@divergentrays I say you should follow the urge! :D

a collage meetup sounds heavenly!!

Thirding that the collage club sounds really fun! Your Sims 2 page is also really cool

@outofatuan it was lovely! and it was only like 5 people at most so not too overwhelming

@ratlands thank you! I got the latest gossip idea from your tomodachi life page :3

The first Sims 2 family page is now up ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ and it's the Curious brothers and the rest of their household!

the sims 2 page is now up, as well as the main page for strangetown!!! not *properly* finished but mostly finished! the first family page is coming up in the next couple of days! :) i'm honestly having a blast with these.

You already got me into Postcrossing, I'm not sure I have the time to risk another personal sims era :,D. Looking forward to updates!

...especially since I've never properly dived into 2, only 3... aaaaaaa

@vtipoman i'm glad i managed to get you into postcrossing! it's all part of my evil plan :D i've never actually played ts3! i switched from pc to a laptop around the time it came out and my laptop couldn't handle it :') anyway, i'm stoked that at least one person will be reading my updates, haha

I grew up with 3, but the only thing that's been tying me to it my last few playthroughs is Story Progression. One look at 2 and you can tell it has a lot more soul, and a lot less jank :D

So I might just bite the bullet and go for 2 the next time I play.

a MASSIVE wall of text all about my first rotation of playing the sims 2 strangetown + la fiesta premades!!! which my brain was ADAMANT i had to write before i could play any more!!!

it's the blog post! yay!

It really is so fun that Goncharov became so widespread without the use of AI. Humans can be creative and funny completely on their own. Who knew. Also, I would love to read a post about Goosebumps. I’ve been thinking about rereading some of my favorites soon too!

@oopsiedoodle - thank you for saying that re: possible Goosebumps post! I wasn't actually sure if anyone would be interested in something like that - which is funny because it's not like I've ever let that stop me from doing anything on this website!

this was so fun to read!

@emily-computer thank you <33

added a picture of the cross-stitched lighthouse i made back in 2025 but never really gave a proper finish to! also added some books to the read what you own list (i'm currently in my r.l. stine era, i guess)

Love the lighthouse and the frame too!

those cross stitch magnets are adorable!!

added a couple of finished cross-stitch projects! well, one project technically, because i still haven't properly assembled the other one. but i added a placeholder for it to possibly motivate myself a bit more.

honestly, there are too many projects that haven't been properly finished on that page. should do something about that, methinks

Love all your projects! This is making me want to try cross-stich now...

@ratlands thanks! it's a great hobby <3

i'm aliiiiiiive! and i wrote a post for the 32Bit Cafe end-of the-year event!
