idk what even qualifies as bird watching? xD whenever I am outside, I just naturally look at my surroundings and see birds.

i'm ok, hanging in there as best as I can. .-.

There's been these auto insurance people that won't leave me alone. I don't have a license or a car, so like... come on. I have blocked like 5 of their numbers, but they keep calling and texting on different numbers, so I can't block them all. They're not even calling for me, somebody else gave them the wrong number. -_-

ah yeah binoculars makes sense o: I don't have any of those. That would be cool to get. Then it would be easier to see the small birds around here like Brown Creepers! I remember the first time seeing them and I was so surprised I even noticed them. xD like bark moving on a tree.

yeah idk why they haven't given up yet. >_< I told them to stop calling me. lol.

aww ^^ i hadn't heard of brown creepers but i looked them up and they look so small and adorable!!
i had a friend who would just have binoculars on him, i never asked why Lol but sometimes we would use it to look at the moon!! would recommend :3
i've been listening more for bird sounds lately but i can never see them, only hear them ... there aren't that many trees around here, esp around my apt

how's ur weekend going?
i started a new book today and it's really good ^^ and made some banana bread to eat as breakfast this coming week :9

one of my favorite hidden birds. lol.

ohh looking at the moon is great. I always look at it when it's visible, and I'm like, damn.... wish it were bigger. xD I love when it's like, noticeably massive.
sometimes it's kind of eerie o: like it's headed straight for us...

yeah lately the birds have been keeping to their own. I guess the babies aren't as hungry now?

my week has been... so-so. I've been so stressed today because of how awful I feel and how awful my mom feels.

a new book! what is it about? :D I haven't read in a couple years, but I love reading. and banana bread sounds fantastic!

yes i love looking at the moon!!!! the binocular friend i don't actually talk to that much lol but our text messages are exclusively moon pictures we send back and forth lol
i can see the moon from my kitchen/bathroom window most nights and it gets pretty bright! one time i showered w the lights off cuz of the moonlight and it was really nice :-)
the idea that it's headed for us is fun :0 ! it's gonna give us a little kiss lol

and i'm sorry to hear that :-( i hope yall can feel better, it sounds like things have been rough
i'm here for you if you want to vent or talk or anything!

the book is called the city we became by nk jemisin! it's urban fantasy, i've just started and it's so imaginative, i love her writing
what kinds of stuff do you usually like to read?

hah that's so cute!
oh man I wish my bathroom had a window, but it's completely closed off. Sucks when the power goes out. xD

thanks, idk what the hell to do about it. It's so bad. .-. I need to see a doctor, but i'm nervous about the covid stuff

ohhh that sounds like something I'd like. Most of my favorites are fantasy and mystery stuff o: Daughter of Smoke & Bone, The Raven Cycle, Six of Crows, House of Leaves...

oh i've lived in places where the bathroom is like that
when i was apt hunting having natural light was my #1 priority, would take it over space and even cost haha .... i'll do anything for windows

damn :-( if it helps, every appt i've had has been telehealth/video chat basically
so could be worth making an appt and asking, i think there's a good chance you can take the appointment from home?
i hope you can get the care you need <3

i don't usually move through books this fast but i realized i'm halfway today?? it's been a fun read!
oo i haven't read those but they all look really good! and i love corvids lol
someone rec'd house of leaves to me once and i do wanna read it eventually!! how scary is it?? or like how would you describe it?

unfortunately everything is just... insanely expensive or in shambles. x_x usually both.

oh yeah I've had phone appointments already... it's... very not helpful. xD at least with my current doctor. I'm planning on changing.

it's crazy how fast some books go by! o: sometimes I have to hold off so I don't finish it too fast. I have an affinity for books associated with corvids xD Including The Foxhole Court's second book titled The Raven King.
I wouldn't say that it's scary at all. More... haunting and puzzling and comforting, even. Also uncanny, which is mentioned in the book itself. And it's also fun to flip the book around. lol.

-gasp- I chose Sound because I feel like creativity and nature and music suits me better? xD; idk. I like Ice as an aesthetic though.

uhhhh I haven't really gotten into the event yet >_< I don't really know what to do

I'm glad that the book seems interesting to you! :3

also you have a great avatar. i love the styling

i liked the description for sound the best ^^ the uniform looked good but might not be my avi's style hehe
i liked the metal uniform the best followed by ice :3

yeah the event can seem kind of intimidating esp the team forums
you can collect badges by posting (you get 1 more badge per post in the event forum) or playing the jigsaw
you can trade the badges for foraged materials (at the top of the page next to the jigsaw, click on the "camp" fire)
and then you can trade foraged materials for event items at the joyful jamboree shop !

and tysm!! ^^

@Unicorn: I feel you there. this summer has been extraordinarily hot. x_x a cool snowy winter day sounds good right now


@xvz: Uniforms aren't really my style. I'd rather just have my own look! :p
The items seem tough to get since it's just so much currency. and I'm not that big of a poster anymore. man, I used to be able to rack up hundreds of posts on events. >_<

hehe i probably wouldn't wear the full uniform only but the separates are cute :-)
i like the cut of the shorts for ice!

yeah the forums can be a bit much too, some of the team threads move rly fast and i think some posters are burning themselves out lol
the hard jigsaw puzzles do give a lot of badges tho! they take some effort/time but the second hardest puzzle gave me 900 badges which is equivalent to like.... 450 forum posts? so if you don't mind puzzles that could be a good way to get badges!
