@Shark: Omg that's brilliant, it sounds so obvious now, lol. I'm going to have to remember that!

@Shark:
Ah, yeah, that make sense. The world's kinda a mess, isn't it?
And it's Tazo brand "Zen" green tea! It's got spearmint, lemongrass, and lemon verbena in it. Starbucks used to sell it years ago before switching to Teavana brand (I think they acquired Teavana? anyway). Mint and lemon don't sound like they should work (at least not to me, lol) but it's super refreshing. :3

Oh noooo. I've never thought to check an egg before popping it into whatever I'm making, but now I think I'm going to start! D:

Uh... I got my favorite tea for the first time in years yesterday and made a batch tonight and it's really good! (I danced when I tasted it, lol.)
I'm really sorry you're having bad stuff happening. :(

@ChiffonOrange:
Yeah, LiveJournal was founded in 1999! So it's been around a while. By comparison, Twitter didn't come around until 2006. And of course there were a ton of clones, like DeadJournal and InsaneJournal and such. I think Dreamwidth is probably the one that's the most popular of the surviving clones.
You're definitely right on the blessing/curse of social media. It's great in letting people communicate more easily but it can be a real pain, too, fostering toxic environments at times, and progressively stripping a lot of the personality/ability to customize our profiles and whatnot. I mean customization used to be a huge part of the experience even on most social media but over the years it's gotten more and more 'sanitized' and boring, with a lot less personalizing options. :/
That's why I like Neocities and the whole sort of "yesterweb" movement (i.e. the community of people trying to bring back personal, custom websites)!
@Amber Lynne:
I just really like non-human designs but also I'm not much of an artist? So I can't design my own characters super well, but I fall in love with neat designs other people make pretty regularly. I got this guy recently! I named him Aric and I've gotten art for him despite not having built a profile for him yet lol. I love him a lot. (He's the third of my growing world of monster characters; I think I'm going to have a whole collection of monsters that interact. Besides, Aric needs a boyfriend and the other two existing boys I don't think fit quite right. XD
I actually had to track the Aric's artist down since I expressed interest in him around a year ago but the artist never responded; turned out they'd gotten locked out of their DA account, lmao. But I found their Twitter and got him! :D

@ChiffonOrange:
Oh yes, I started out on LiveJournal, long before Facebook was a thing! Long before Twitter, even. Fandom on LJ was so big, and then social media kinda drained it away. I like blogging but sometimes I'm too lazy to keep up with it; I haven't blogged on my own site in almost two months, lol. And yeah, I've got a Pillowfort account but I dunno, it really didn't capture my interest that much. I haven't spent a lot of time on it, either, though.

@Lucifer Morningstar: Oh god, salty pumpkin pie, noooooo. And yikes, I've somehow managed to not blow anything up in the microwave yet! I can imagine the smell, though, yuck.
(love your sig, btw; that's from Lucifer, right? I need to actually watch that sometime; I've seen a few episodes but not a lot.)
@Kozi: Wha... how on earth? I'm... weirdly impressed, lol.

@ChiffonOrange: I'm definitely familiar with Dreamwidth, though I haven't actively used it in years. When Livejournal started to die I was looking for an alternative and ended up there. It's a good site, and I like it. Maybe I can figure out how to incorporate it into my site to make my blogging system easier. I know I did that with my old site, once upon a time...
@Amber Lynne: It really is, lol! Although I also find adopting cool designs to be a drug, albeit one that's a bit more costly than creating my own from scratch. I have a whole bunch of fun adopted creations though, that I've then breathed life into with personalities and stories (even if there's not a lot on paper in some cases).
@milkshake: Oh my gosh, I hate to suggest it, but maybe you have a ghost? o3o; Although, LOL, that video probably didn't help!
Oh yeah, it probably IS depression now you mention it. I hadn't thought of that. It's like.... not exactly losing interest but something stops me from going back to stuff. I still haven't finished even the first season of Beastars because I stopped one night to sleep and just never went back to it. "Everything is Fine," huh? Might just have to check that out. :D

@ChiffonOrange: You know there are people that deliberately artificially inflate the prices of stuff that shouldn't cost very much? Like they'll buy up all of a cheaper item on the MP and then relist it for ridiculous prices. It sucks. There was a cute Thanksgiving-themed item I needed for an avatar last year or the year before that got jacked up like that. I got lucky eventually but I wasn't able to do that avatar for a while because of it.

@ChiffonOrange:
It was an ongoing game that I'd been playing previously, so I didn't lose all progress on it; I think I lost a couple hours. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's a thought, too! I have a Dreamwidth account, technically, though it's just an archive of my old personal blog under a name I don't use anymore. I sometimes blog on my website, but maybe I'll make a new Dreamwidth some day. 🤔
