新年…！

Happy New Year!!!

I did the New Year's countdown with my friend and my parents. ^_^ We had a toast as well...!

Yes, yes, I suppose it was rather irresponsible of me to drink champagne, especially since the last time I had alcohol, it sent my heart rate up to a nice 170 BPM while I sat on my friend's couch and regretted all of my actions. But I do enjoy champagne quite a bit. And I did better this time. The only thing that happened was I got a little tipsy and said just a little too much about what I want to do to Izaya. But it's okay! Because my friend agreed he was very hot. So that's a win for me. (what the hell is this guy talking about)

Anyways! My mom got me a gift for the New Year's as well! Michael Romance Three Cheers Oxford Blood Vinyl... :333 It just shipped out today too I'm so excited.

I'm going to try to go to the DMV this week. I need to get my license already... I can drive well enough, I just need to actually...be legal lol. I won't go back to college again this semester unfortunately... the timing is just really bad, and I want to go work for a bit to save money. And once I get my license, I'll be able to drive myself places...!

For starters, I need to get back into therapy lol. Both physical and mental. My back is only going to get worse the longer I put it off unfortunately... and I just need to manage my anxiety well enough so I can handle travelling.

Which brings me to one of the main reasons I wanted to get a job and save money. Back in late November, I got the KICK BACK CD single from Kenshi Yonezu...I was only getting it because I really wanted to own it physically at first, but then I read on his site that there was a code to enter in the ticket lottery for his tour next year...! And so I entered...

And I won!!!

So I'm going to go to Japan in June to see him in Saitama. ^_^ Of course, I'm planning to stay at a hotel in Shinjuku not for any particular reason haha no way. Actually on a serious note I found this hotel that's got a fucking IKEA and Kinokuniya right next to it so this is perfect. Plus the hotel itself is really nice looking and a good price so I am glad I found it.

I probably won't go too far while I'm there. I do want to go to Shibuya, and I'll go to Saitama of course, but I probably won't go too far out of Tokyo. There's this Mexican restaurant I wanna go to in Shibuya... it would be nice to have something so familiar while I'm across the globe. :3

I don't know how long I'll stay yet. I'm not too good with long trips, but I think if I go alone and just go to places at my own leisure, I wouldn't have to worry about getting stressed...

Ah, but there are some other things I need to do here as well...mainly, getting a passport haha. But I also want to at least get a little better at actually speaking Japanese. My vocabulary is...alright, but my speech problems are the biggest issue I have. Really, I'm bad with speech no matter what language, but Japanese is even worse because I'm nowhere near fluent and tend to trip on my words a lot haha;;;

But back to right now. There's only a few weeks until the 28th...! I had a dream that Kujibikido tweeted out the art for Shizuo's bday kuji that's how excited I am. Please let the yen stay low so I can minimize the amount of money spent...!

My New Year's has been kind of stressful. More than I would have liked. First of all, my prescription ran out yesterday...so I got to sleep while suffering the terrible withdrawal symptoms. It was really bad too. I woke up randomly at 6am with a stomach ache, nausea, and it felt so hot. Then, when I got up to go grab my old prescription of a different beta blocker just to see if it would help, my heart rate went up to 160 BPM... 🙂 Needless to say I did not feel good. Thankfully, the medicine worked a little bit, and I got to fall back asleep a little bit after. ^_^

Originally, I wasn't supposed to get my refill until tomorrow, because for some reason I had to request it myself since I had no refills? But whatever. Anyways I was already going out to get bloodwork, and so I clung onto hope and checked my prescription status. And to my surprise, it was actually ready...! I thanked whatever god was out there and was going to go get it after my appointment.

...which actually took a bit longer than I expected. See, when I originally booked it, I just said "hey I wanna get my vitamins tested" and figured I'd just elaborate when I got there. But apparently, if you're ordering it yourself, you have to buy the test online first. I was not told this on the website. But whatever. So I went back out the waiting room and ordered a Thiamine panel quickly. The rest was really quick, thankfully, and then I went to go pick up my meds. And then... I got to get crab sticks and katsu...! I was so happy. ^_^

Ah...I want to talk about my Last.fm wrapped as well.



It's reallty unsurprising lol. I listened to a fuckton of My Chem this year thanks to them coming back and seeing them twice haha. I really hope the rumors about a 2023/2024 tour and album were true because good lord twice was not enough. Same with Fall Out Boy...! I haven't seen them in years (I missed so many shows of theirs because my parents said I already saw them once 🥲) and I really am looking forward to FOB8...! The teaser and websites are so exciting. Ohh... what I would give for a double tour with MCR and FOB together... Snitches and Talkers and TIHID better be on the damn setlists too.

And KICK BACK...! I just hit like 666 scrobbles the other day haha. Ohh...and I also hit 7k FOB scrobbles! ^_^

But aside from all of these, I've been listening to a lot of Radiohead lately... (looking around) I got OK Computer on CD a while back but I want In Rainbows now as well hehe. :3 Actually they are still my top artist of 2023 which is a really... interesting start to the year;;

And this was my top songs playlist! I prefer this one over the Spotify wrapped because it went all the way to December 31st and not just October lol.

I think that's all I have to say for now, though...ohh...but I did preorder the Kaito Dollfie Dream back in December! Hopefully the yen stays low by the time I pay the rest haha. Because I have another preorder that comes out around what I'm assuming will be the same time... though I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed haha. Either way it's fine... I'll be able to handle it, I'm just really excited haha.

And then the Durarara bunkasai kuji stuff ships out late January-early Feburary so I'll buy some stuff of Amazon JP and combine that together hehe.

Alright that's all now... bye bye !! ^_^
