@Totalanimefan: Aaaaah sorry for the delay. I'm having a bit of depression so I haven't had a chance to get on here. I'm doing great today though! I got this one dress that I ordered and it's super cute, and it's for my birthday so I'm happy I have something nice to wear for that TuT Finding clothes that I love and that fit me comfortably ; - ;

@Amber Lynne: Thank you!!!

@GoblinsAndTea: Whoa, that sounds really cool! I am still not sure if I would get into BJD, but it's pretty cool that you know a lot about them! :D

@Totalanimefan: Haha yeah, I try my best to reply in a timely manner but sometimes it doesn't work out for me TuT And my birthday is on February 16th! I'm excited but also not really expecting anything too crazy because of COVID and everything. Still, I got somewhat of a small plan for my birthday, even though it's not really a plan for the whole day. I might just watch movies probably, but not sure yet. Ideally I would like to go either to the aquarium or the beach, but that's probably not happening.

@Totalanimefan: You're totally fine! I've been distracted with videos and writing some valentines for friends ^ ^;
But yeah that's what I was hoping to do, and buy alcohol because for some reason I've been wanting to drink these past few months. Not getting completely wasted, but just to drink I guess? It's weird T u T
I live in Texas in the US, and I live like 2 hours away from a beach, so technically that would be doable, but money is tight right now and I'm not sure if it would be safe to be at the beach either. O:

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, I really love Valentine's day, it's one of my favorite holidays next to Halloween ^ ^ And yeah that's true, I've never actually gotten drunk (yet anyway :'D), and I haven't drank alcohol since July, and that was for my friend's birthday because she didn't want to drink alone. And yeah you're right, a 2 hour drive there and back would be hard. And I would think that a lot of places would be closed too due to COVID, so that's also a thing to think about. I'm fine with celebrating my birthday at home though, since I'm still going through a depression and I don't feel as energized as I can be. ; - ;

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, and I think friends should also make it a thing to actually celebrate Valentine's day too, because Valentine's Day was about all kinds of love D:
I don't like the taste of alcohol either, but I found an alcohol brand that I like called Smirnoff Ice, because those drinks taste like soda and it's got alcohol in it. That's basically what I've been wanting specifically when I mean alcohol. That and spiked lemonade, since I really love lemonade. :D
I would love to have a dinner/lunch outside and decorate for it, but I live in a trailer complex so there's not much of a yard here. We do have a porch, but it's not that big and it also doesn't have a roof. Otherwise I would've planned to do something like that O: We don't have outdoor furniture either, which is always a bummer because I would love to sit outside right now. It's not too cold but also not warm enough to want to go back inside. Just a bit humid though, but either way!

Seihou

Friend PM Trade

@Totalanimefan: Yeah exactly!
Oooooh that sounds really good. I'd love to try more drinks like that in the future honestly. And right?? Lemonade is so good. I wish I could grow a lemon tree so I could just have lemonade all the time! TuT
And yeah, I guess we could go to a park, but I don't really want to go to the nearby parks for my birthday. I'd rather go to downtown for the park that they have there. It's an eco-friendly park and it's really nice to be in, and not to mention all the public art exhibit projects that they have decorating the part sometimes. It's really cool, and I also just love the city. TuT How cold is it where you live? I just checked the weather app and it's apparently 70 degrees here O:

Also thank you for the gifts!! I'll definitely put them to good use! :'D

@Totalanimefan: Thank you! That was so nice of you to do, I really appreciate it! TuT
I'm not sure if I could grow a lemon tree outside, but I think I would need to do a bit of research for that. I know that lime trees might be more doable, but I'd have to check. It's not too cold most of the time here, since I live close to the coast it rarely gets super super cold like in other places (kinda sad honestly in my opinion). I haven't had lemonade and iced black tea together, but that sounds good. I'd have to try it sometime.
And yeah, cool parks and urban things are great! I just looked up The High Line, we have something kinda similar in the city where I live! :D I forgot what it's called, but it's kinda like that. It's super cool! I miss going to the city D':
Oh wow, that's pretty cold! O: I'm not even sure if it's gotten to the high 20's here at all. I know it's probably gone to the high 30's but not for too long. Wow, I'm kinda sad. I like winter because I don't do well in hot weather, but oof. That's the thing about living in the east coast of Texas T ^ T

@Totalanimefan: Ooooh makes sense O:
And wow, I think I remember this one place I used to work at sold drinks like that, except they used sweet tea. I don't really like sweet tea, but for some reason it's a big deal here. >>;; It always taste like sugar water to me, so I never really liked that.
Ooooooh that sounds so cool! I really do like parks that are not like your regular parks. :>
Yeah makes sense about the winter though. Here it gets dark at around 5:40pm or somewhere around there, but yeah, I guess it's nice to not freeze O: I just like winter because we don't have a real winter down here. But that's okay I guess.

And thanks! I tried to make it as Valentine themed as I could TuT

@Totalanimefan: Yeeeeah, I always hated overly sweet things like that. Literally just a lot of sugar in what's supposed to be iced tea >>; I wouldn't mind if there was flavor in it like lemons or something, but nope. Just straight sugar water. > <
Yeah! I want to go to more new places in the city. I found out recently that there's a public art gallery underground somewhere in the city, but I don't remember where it is exactly. I could probably look it up though O:
And oof yeah. I get warm really easily, so if it's like higher than 80 degrees I'd really be sweaty and gross and I hate that T^T

Seihou

Friend PM Trade

@Totalanimefan: I do! I try to drink more tea, but it's taking a bit to get used to. I would like to grow herbs and plants so I can dry them and make my own tea like that though! O:
Ooooh yeah!! I would love to go to more museums!! :D They're so cool. A bit ago I actually started to look into more Art History stuff on Youtube mainly, and it's so interesting! I think I got a better appreciation for Vincent Van Gogh because of some videos too. T u T Also science museums are really cool too!

Welcome to Voltra! 8D
Btw I enjoy drinking teas too. Any kind of them, especially naturally made ones. I've got dried lavender and mint, it feels so good after drinking them together in one mix. <3

@totalanimefan: Thank you, I will! Just trying to prepare and figure out some things first. <3

@Totalanimefan: Ooooh that sounds cool. I don't think I've ever tried mint tea before either, so that's something I should try O:
And man, I really want to go to a museum now. Specifically the art museum and the natural science museum that's in the city where I live D': Those museums are so nice.
Ooooh that sounds like a good tea. I like hibiscus tea, so luckily we have a lot of that right now. I usually put milk and sugar in my tea that's in teabags, but if it's loose leaf tea it depends.

@Edelaen: Hi there, and thanks! Welcome to the site to you too I'm guessing :'D

@Totalanimefan: The city isn't exactly near me honestly, and even then, I think I'd rather not risk going to the museum right now ^ ^;
Hibiscus tea... Actually, the last few times I tried making hibiscus tea with milk it didn't really work because the milk curdled due to the hibiscus tea being acidic. I didn't realize until I looked it up, but it's really gross when it happens D: Other than milk, hibiscus tea is good with brown sugar O: But I do like chamomile tea with milk and sugar! :D

Seihou

Friend PM Trade

@Totalanimefan: Yeah yeah, makes sense!
And ooooh, I'm not sure if I tried Oolong tea, I should probably try it some time! Actually, I need to try more teas O:

And sorry for the late reply, things have gotten busy and then there wasn't any power here due to the winter storms happening in Texas. We got our power and water back though, but from what I heard there's people who still haven't gotten anything back. This whole thing really sucks ; - ;

@Totalanimefan: I don't really go to a lot of Chinese restaurants, so my best bet is to go to an Asian grocery store and get some there, which shouldn't be too hard. O: I just need to go there at some point, which might take a while. O:

And I'm doing okay now! Basically we're lucky enough to have a grill and my stepdad had friends who had charcoal and stuff. We have lots of candles because my mom likes those, so we were good on light for the most part. It was just the coldness of everything that made things unbearable, and also not being able to know when the power was gonna back on, or any way to charge our devices to find out. At one point even the cellphone tower didn't have power (or at least was giving off a really weak signal). But we were okay I think. A funny thing that happened was I literally had just finished making my blanket fort, because I saw on twitter people suggesting to do that to be warm since you're surrounded by warm stuff, and a minute after I finished, THE LIGHT CAME BACK. I kept my fort up for a while after though because it was nice, but eventually we had dinner and I had to bring the chair I was using over D': But yeah, basically I was very bored, and I slept/stayed awake a lot. I would read some books I had, but then it would be dark and too cold to even think so I would just sleep again. > ~ <

I hope things get better though. Climate change is such a real thing, and this definitely showed how terrible our Texas government is. I always didn't like Greg Abbott, and Ted Cruz made me feel a bit concerned, but now I definitely don't want them in office anymore. Luckily now I can vote them out, but jeez.

Seihou

Friend PM Trade

@Totalanimefan: I definitely would have made the fort sooner, but EVERYTHING WAS TOO COLD. I literally didn't want to be exposed to the cold air because it was so cold! I just wanted to be under a blanket the entire time. T ^ T The only reason I was able to make the fort that time was because I had gotten back from eating warm food at a restaurant (there was places in the next town that had electricity, so we went to a restaurant to eat).

Yeah, that's basically me. If I'm bored enough I will eventually end up napping. And it was like that for me, except I would randomly wake up at odd hours because I find myself to be a bit warm, and that's sometimes how I normally wake up too. I've always had sleeping problems, and especially when I'm depressed. So I'd wake up, and then I'd just read or do whatever. Honestly, I don't even know what I did now @ - @

Yeah, definitely. Also, speaking about Ted Cruz, it just reminded me about how there was that one Vine video where this one guy was at a rally that had Ted Cruz in it, and the guy had a poster that implied that Ted was the Zodiac Killer, and when he turned it around to show to Ted Cruz and yelled out "WE WANT ANSWERS", Ted Cruz just gave him a look that was like "Wow, really?"
Just a random thing that makes me laugh. At this point I'd believe that he's the Zodiac Killer as a meme

@Totalanimefan: We went for breakfast, so I ate a pancake platter that had pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. It was really good! I honestly wish I got more bacon T u T
Right?? It's too cold! ; - ; I think the lowest that we got to was maybe 9 degrees? It was hella cold!

I'm not sure honestly. If it gets too bad, I have melatonin gummies I can take. But me sleep schedule had always been weird, so right now I'm just letting it be and see what happens. Sometimes I get into a sort of routine, so at least me sleep is consistent. What I really care about is that I stay asleep. When I start waking up randomly at odd hours is when I have actual problems. >>;;

And as for what I'm doing now with power, I'm checking the news, talking to friends, and watching Youtube. So yeah, basically that. I'm also trying to write in my journal, but that's been a struggle because depression D':

Right?? Lately I've been remembering memes that are relevant to conversations I have with friends, which is kinda funny. I never knew it would come to that though :'D

Also! On random news, my friend-crush had told me that he's so comfortable with me and that he likes me enough to where if he wasn't single and if I lived near him, he would totally date me. That happened yesterday and I'm still happy about it despite knowing that it's not gonna happen (at least anytime soon). I've had a crush on him for a while now, and we've been online friends for a few years, so this was amazing. I don't think I've ever had a crush tell me they would like to date me so this is really special to me T u T
