(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm a little bored, and feel like I haven't gotten to really talk to y'all in a while.

Been watching Loki, felt like episode 3 was a little weak, but I still am very excited to watch episode 4. It's just fun to be watching a series at the same point everyone is watching it. Usually, I wait to binge a show after it's completed, so this is a nice change of pace for me. It's just exciting to get to speculate for once as I usually know a few plot points before I watch a show typically.

I feel like when you have younger sisters (or brothers), you naturally start to have to become "fans" of series they like, otherwise you're going to be driven nuts. I've been watching Miraculous with my younger sister. It's not that bad of a show tbh. Sure, it can get a little childish or perhaps feel like a generic "girl group" or "care-beary" show at times, but I've always been a sucker for romance dramas and this show is the epitome of it. I've said it before, sometimes it's refreshing to see kids' show villains because they are a different type of villain you'll see in older-audience-targeted shows.

I've been enjoying my final summer before I start my career. Cleaned my room, so I feel at peace when I am in my room. Been doing some writing on a superhero story I have crafted in my mind for over 8 years now. It's formatted as a TV show because admittedly, I always wanted to turn it into an animated show. I've only ever completed the first season, but I can finally say that I have completed the story in my mind, at least all the important points. It's fun to watch all kinds of superhero shows because you let them influence your mind, and see how you can create your own superhero. My goal is to put my foot down and write "one episode" per day. I keep telling myself that when it's done, I'll somehow find a way to actually create and animate it, so maybe that's why I've been dragging my feet on it.

I have been wanting to lose weight, but it's hard mentally to make the push to do it. I made good progress last year, but really messed up on that. There's been this mental block for a while now, that I'm hoping to overcome. I know I can do it, last year is proof of the results I could start getting, but at the same time, I want progress, when it feels like I'm just doing the same thing again. It's like accidentally deleting your save file in a game, and having to convince yourself to redo everything all over again. I want to get past where I left off, but the thought of doing the same thing over again just unmotivates me.

Lastly, I'm debating my long-term plan. My friends suggested moving together with them when I get my job. The problem is, I always wanted to save money so I could actually buy a house earlier and pay off my debts as fast as possible. When I'm in my 30's, I'm hoping that basically every dollar I earn is mostly mine outside of a few things. I'm hoping to also have wiggle room to invest in crypto as I feel the gold rush with crypto isn't quite over, and a few years from now will be the next big wave. Living at home sucks though because I will be 50 minutes from work, which means, a lot of driving every day for me.

My older friend wants to move somewhere that will be about 25 minutes from where I work. That would be a lot better, but honestly, I feel he is choosing an area perfect for him, while if I'm going to be ruining my savings plan, I would like my commute to be even smaller than that honestly. Additionally, I would be paying the same share as him, while his younger brother (my other friend) would be paying less due to the fact he earns less. Now, I don't necessarily mind, as living with friends would be nice, but when you factor in that now I'm paying rent (which goes against my principle of owning property and not throwing away money on rent), along with having to pay for a share of every living expense, it's less enticing. Still, I hate the idea of how much of my day will be gone due to commuting.

Oh, how work-from-home is so appealing.

Sorry for the blog post.
