Posted in engagement rings arrived :DDD Posted 3 years ago


@macsen191:
Thank you!!


@blue:
That sounds pretty too! I'm real hard to buy this style ring for because I don't like a mountain of diamonds, or anything too big, or anything too expensive, or anything too "cookie cutter". I just wanted something that suited us, that he and I both liked. Wanted a nice artistic design, particularly in the metal itself. Etsy has a lot of designs where they sculpt the metal into intricate ways, it became hard to choose. But we felt this one fit best xD
He was a little easier, he wanted a black tungsten ring that isn't too bulky, but has also something creative in the metal works. I love what he picked!

We didn't do any bent knee proposal, not really into that sort of thing. Maybe its the mild aspergers in me but I never understood how that gets set up without making everyone uncomfortably awkward LOL I dont like public attention anyway, so maybe we'll just do a cute photoshoot later on idk
I can't actually remember how we brought up engagements? We went through a lot together and still came out laughing, so we figured we can get through anything at this point. He knows I'm not into the idea of waiting until I'm asked, so we probably both brought it up naturally lmao

@Totalanimefan:
Mine was made by Ohjewel and his by GentlemansJunction
Both are on Etsy! I searched through every common-name jeweler you could think of and didn't like a single thing. But Etsy took me a minute cause I liked too many things XD
as Etsy does

Posted in OH COUCH Posted 3 years ago


@koneko:
Haha yess! The last couch I had was a big L shaped thing that was sold to me for $300 (wayyyy less than they bought it for) cause they didnt like how stiff it was. They were too rich to care, and very generous to those with less money lmao
I left it with an ex cause he had a home for it and I didnt when I moved out XD we split on calm terms so I didnt mind.

I cant wait til I can have a dining table though! My home is currently too small, but ONE DAY >:D


@Koah:
Yeah I mostly aimed cheap cause I have a new kitten who will probably stab at any sofa I get. So I dont want to care too much about it Haha
We're still training her so that'll get better. But cats will be cats!

She has one little chair that she's allowed to stab to get it out of her system xD

Posted in OH COUCH Posted 3 years ago


Sorry I'm probably the only one online rn screaming excitement over everything

BUT I GOT A COUCH! :DDD

Like I had one on order since July. Cause yknow, material shortages, furniture stores are really struggling to keep up with orders. The couch I ordered is like this, super cheapy thing. Its pretty dang comfortable, like moreso than some of the $2k sofas they carry tbh

so it gets a lot of orders cause its cheap af in cost compared to the rest of the store.

I work next door for mattress sales so I talk with these guys a lot, so I get updates pretty frequently. My couch kept getting delayed further and further and I didn't care all too much, but I do hate my computer chair being my only thing to sit on in my home aside from my bed xD

BUT with our building under some major remodels, they need to get a lot of furniture off the floor asap to make space to condense things. So this floor model thats like... pretty much brand ass new, was chucked on sale. From being a $1600 loveseat to $200. Its one of those deals like you buy it if you can pick it up same day, cause it needs GONE and we cant do same day delivery (not enough drivers/trucks sadly, we're going through worker shortages too)

But because I work with them, our drivers agreed to squeeze me on for next-day delivery. I upgraded to a setup delivery (even though its just being plopped right next to the front door) to basically give our drivers extra pay for doing this for me ;v;;;

BUT Now I have a recliner :D and I got refunded like $150 for the difference in cost compared to my other order


Posted in early etsy xmas shopping... a thread >v>/ Posted 3 years ago


Oh I------





I need this

Posted in It's finally getting cold~ Posted 3 years ago


Yayyy its getting chilly here too!
Nothing compared to colorado colds, down here in texas. but at least I'm not melting at 7am anymore :D!

Posted in early etsy xmas shopping... a thread >v>/ Posted 3 years ago


I LOVE CHRISTMAS SHOPPINGGGG
As always, doing it early so things arrive on time.
I think I came on here last year when trying to pick out something for my partner. Back then we only knew each other for just under a year so I was like uhhhhhhhhh music thingssss?
But now I know him too well and I have TOO MANY ideas ;c;

So I wanna share cause its always exciting finding cool shit on Etsy!

He was wanting a Zelda themed room in our home so we decided we should do that for the bedroom. Lots of greens and nature colors, great for sleeping. So this is where I start!

(we set a $50 limit for each of us so we can be reasonable, but I might bump it to $60)
(also his bday is in December too so I get to buy him an extra thing >:) )
I'm also using this thread so I can keep track cause I have too many tabs open now
.

BIG MAYBE

He really wants to start a little garden on our porch, so I thought of something like these to decorate with. But we haven't started on that yet so it'd probably end up getting strung to the ceiling fan or something instead x'''D

ANOTHER BIG MAYBE

Back when he lived in his apartment, he always had this giant framed poster of this classic piece.
But now--ZELDA-FY IT!
He's seen this before and I know he'd really love it!

BIIIIG MAYBEE

because OBVIOUSLY--
Its a really decent size too! Like, not huge and not too tiny.

MUSIC AND ZELDA

These play the song of storms
HE LOVES STORMS
xD

ITSPRECIOUS

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;v;;;;;

ANOTHER BIIIG MAYBE

He's been super into writing daily poems and I think he would really appreciate this. Plus, something to attach his pen to the journal!
I could also get him new journal.....

There's so many cool thingsssss

Posted in ACNH updateeeeees!! Posted 3 years ago


I know there's another ACNH thread on here but it seemed more fleshed out and for a better purpose--I just wanted to make a quick thread to screech in a quick burst of excitement and hopefulness that the game may finally start filling with content soon!

Nintendo Direct ACNH updates

Updates coming on Nov 9!
ALthough the whole concept they did with the happy homes decoration bit doesn't sit well with me. Having to buy something AND pay annually/monthly, AND being locked out of it if you dont pay for it. I mean, sounds like mmorpgs but.... shouldn't be on a game that isn't solely for online play. I'll wait to see how that turns out and what feedbacks come of it.

But that aside, I'm excited! How do you all feel about the whole thing?

@star2000shadow:
here it is
Lemme know if the link works :O

@KDA Drew:
Yess I agree! although I'm very much a fan of learning along the way and googling tips later, rather than having a tutorial xD but the game really doesn't have anything TO tutorial from what I saw. Its kinda just empty rn?
It would be nice if they started to flesh it out a lot more. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens!

@MaxIsConfused:
@milkshake:
Same thoughts! Im excited to see if this turns into a proper game sometime <3
being early access and all, might take some years since its pretty fresh. But I'm cool with waiting~

Posted in I am an embarrassment Posted 3 years ago


Sorry Im bad at replying on decent timing, work work work xd

@Minerva:
Oh gosh I try to do that too, make jokes on myself before someone else can. But I probably do it wrong so either way people make fun of me :'''D
I have a serious lack in social skill these days! But when I'm with my partner I get the most relaxed and outward, and thats when silly moments like these happen xD


@blue:
oh goodness lmao manakins could have feelings too!

Posted in Fer.al Posted 3 years ago


@Minerva:
I feel like if i had friends to hang out with in the game, there might be more incentive to play. but it really is just, dress up animal and then otherwise seems more like a glorified chat room. which would've worked a decade ago, but not now days xD

but yes, i hope they add more to it!
and make the UI less... huge.
idk though maybe it's intended for children :vanora_xd:
