🎼🎵but I wouldn't mind a holiday there 🎶
- a low-key event hangout -



Feeling burnt out by the bustle of summer?
Perhaps you've burned a hole in your wallet with all those summer activities?
Need a break from the searing heat?

anyone else smell roasting meat?
Join me for a holiday on the moon.
Sure, you can't get a suntan, but you also can't get a sunburn B)






Actually, since the moon has negligible atmosphere, the sun's radiation would be more intense and thus, not only would you get a suntan, you'd get burnt to a crisp on the dayside. So be sure to stay on the nightside, or bring some SPF 30000.

:~ Moon Party Raffle ~:

duration: 21.7.19 to 28.7.19
I. Generate a random number between 100 and 1000 using the Post Actions feature. This will be your Ticket Number!
II. Ping me with your Ticket Number and you'll be placed on the raffle list.
III. Each user can only generate and submit one Ticket Number. No mules, please!
IV. If you happen to roll the same number as another poster, you may roll again until you get a unique number. Please remember to abide by Voltra's rules concerning spam and triple-posting.
V. At the end of the raffle duration, I will post and roll a random number between 100 and 1000 to determine the winners. The user whose Ticket Number is closest to, or matches exactly, the number generated by my post wins! I will roll three times to determine three winners, with more rolls as necessary in the case of duplicates or ties. Rolls will be done openly so everyone can rest assured that it's fair. c:

Icebreaker: What's your favourite summer activity? I really loved swimming as a kid. Never wanted to get out of the pool.

Kind of a shame that it doesn't have the same appeal as it did back then, especially since I live somewhere so hot now.

I used to love going to the water park as a kid, but now I just want to stay indoors because I’m old and the sun is evil.
@Vii: I love your summery avi!

@Tsundererra: For real tho! It used to be so much fun to play in the water but now it's just like, "meh" xD it's also a pain getting your hair wet when it's long, especially in pools with chlorine.

And thank you! Gotta represent that summer spirit, even if I don't really have it xD I like dressing up in themes! O uO

@Vii: I KNOW! Ugh, I’m also not a fan of the red, burning eyes that come with swimming in chlorine either.
I feel that way about swimming in the ocean too. It’s like, ain’t nobody got time to be cleaning sand from every crevice of their body afterwards.

You did a good job! Especially with the colors. :3

@Tsundererra: SAND EVERYWHERE! Like I love visiting the beach but it's impossible to not bring the beach home with you xD it gets into places you didn't even think it could get to LOL though imho the absolute worst part about swimming in natural waters is stepping on squishy seaweed Q wQ just thinking about it makes me squirm. Anytime we went to the lake I'd be kicking furiously to keep my feet from touching the bottom xD

@Vii: SO TRUE!!! Luckily, the brain eating and flesh eating bacteria are enough to keep me away from the beaches. No more sand!
And omg, the slimey ground of murky fresh waters freaks me out too. I’ve never stepped on the seaweed, but I’ve had it wrap around my legs before and I thought it was a snake or eel. Nope. Nope. Nope.
@Totalanimefan: The longer days are one good thing about summertime. I have SAD too, and I just want to hibernate in the winter because of it.
@Sirlionelnigelconrad: It’s so late, I misread your post as “nice buttocks of kids”. xD

@Totalanimefan: Yo it's awesome that you get to go to Otakon every year! Going to a convention is on my bucket list. I'd love to be able to go to Guardiancon or even the real deal Comic-Con one of these days. I've got to have an awesome costume if I ever do go.


@SirLionelNigelConrad: Nige the opportunist.
Back when I was living in a studio, I was right in front of the pool and had to listen to the kids screaming every Saturday morning during the summer. "oH nO i'M nOt TrYiNg To SlEeP oR aNyThInG". Do have fun and do what kids do but ffs why do kids have to scream.


@Tsundererra: Omg brain- and flesh-eating bacteria??? Is that a common thing at beaches? D: wat. DO not want.

@Totalanimefan: What kind of musicians do they usually feature? J-pop / K-pop? o:

Alas, DC is pretty far away; totally across the country for me xD though I did get to visit many years ago. It was definitely sobering to see the capital, museums, and monuments. I'm a sucker for history and timeless old things.

Nige - You seem more existential than usual. You good there bro?

@Totalanimefan: Middle-school me would've done almost anything to go. I listened almost exclusively to Japanese music back then xD ah, good times c':

That is definitely a long trip! Do you typically take the same route each time, or try to mix it up a bit with different scenic routes?
I hear it's really expensive to live in D.C. but I guess that's the trade-off for living in such a historical and culturally significant area.
It's been a while since I've had a good road trip, but without AC in my car I'd be a fool to do it again during the summer. xD I did a few years ago and chugged about 4 Gatorades each way lmao I had to pee so bad at one point I had to pull over and find some bushes cause there wasn't another rest station for like 30 miles RIP

@Vii: I think they’re becoming more common with climate change. They thrive in really hot waters. ): Same for red algae in ocean that’s harmful to breathe in.

@Totalanimefan: I agree with Nigel, you don’t want to live there. The “expensive” side is the gentrified side, and the parts that are still affordable (for now) is filled with crime. Like every day I watch the local news, someone has been shot or killed through some random gun fights. And very few people in the DMV area have the patience to drive in D.C. The roads coming and leaving the city are filled with big pot holes, and in the morning and evening they all somehow become HOV lanes. I’ve had so many friends and family get tickets because of that... And omg... the homeless of D.C.... I had one steal my money when I was on a field trip to the Smithsonian as a kid.

@Totalanimefan: I get that big cities mean bad traffic, but D.C. ranks #2 (and in previous years #1) as THE worst traffic in all of America. Here’s a source. Like not sure if you’ve seen the shit show that is NYC, but it’s way worse than that. I worked near D.C. years ago, and left two hours early (it’s a 30 minute drive without traffic), and I got stuck in standstill traffic because of an accident. I ended up being late to work by 3 hours. 5 hours of my life gone.
The metro is gross, and waaaaay overdue for upgrades. The red line is always smoking and breaking down... but to be fair, all American public transit is a disgrace.
I think the prices around Arlington is going up because Amazon decided to build their second headquarters in nearby Crystal City...

Oof, DMV makes me so angry, but then I remember how the southern half of VA is and I’m not as salty.

@Totalanimefan: I think LA is #5 on the list. I think D.C. gets so bad because it’s so small, and you have traffic from two states coming in and out.
Metro is gross. The transport in NYC and NJ is worse, but that does not make metro less gross or safe. Like I said, all American transport is a disgrace.
I think we can all find pros and cons in the places we live. Like you have to deal with forest fires and earthquakes, and we have to deal with tornadoes and hurricanes.
Also, niiiiiiiight~

@Totalanimefan: Oh wow, there isn’t any public transit there? And I’m surprised there’s no new housing because it feels like every big city is spending on housing.
My first bf was from the Bay Area, and he had his old Honda Civic stolen, and then found weeks later with empty crack pipes. /: America needs to step up its game forreal doe.

And I’m good! Having a super lazy Sunday. How about you?

@Totalanimefan: I always forget how big the Bay Area, and even Cali really is. Expanding public transit could really help control traffic and bring in more jobs. ): And new housing is important, especially for a place that is prone to earthquakes. But living in an area where they are constantly building new housing, I get the feels of NIMBYism. The newer housing raises the rent of nearby older properties, which makes people leave when they can’t afford... then when enough people leave, they tear down the old buildings and build new ones.
