So yesterday, I was reminded of a story that I wanted to tell a long time ago but never did. So I'm gonna tell it today. I have no clue when that screenshot was taken but I used it to explain what happened on 26th Sep, last year, so chances are it was that day. What it is, is the slide + swipe just before the chorus/fever in EXPERT 1000 Crying Skies. I also have no clue what the speed of this is, either 7.0, 7.5 or 8.0. Reminder that this was taken on my old phone:

...and there's a bad size comparison/how I held my phone while playing, minus the left hand. (Wouldn't be surprised if my hands were a bit smaller back then.) Yeah, I played Garupa for 9 months on a broken screen. I wanted to talk about that too, actually...

Hand reveal.

Let me set the scene. This was around the time where I'd got into playing (and FC'ing) 26s, and I was playing all the 26s to, at the very least, clear them. It was the first time I played EXPERT 1000-kai Urunda Sora and, up to this point, I hadn't dropped the combo. For whatever the reason I had for doing this (probably no prior beatmap knowledge), I held the slide with my right thumb and the very millisecond I did, I thought "Oh, I've messed up!". As you see, the slide goes from the right to the very left, but there's a swipe on the very right at the end, and my right thumb's stuck in the slide.

So what did I do? As my right thumb continued to move left, I (probably instinctively) stretched my left thumb underneath my right, mirroring the speed of the slide to the right side and swiped up (probably a bit diagonally) as I released the right thumb, as the song goes. You can probably guess what I'm gonna say next. I kept the combo. I was absolutely shocked that I did that, super over the moon.

I then proceeded to drop combo later on and couldn't FC it for 5 months or something but I have now so doesn't matter...

I was originally going to tell this story alongside a question. I think you can tell why I didn't want to.

Did you realize that when we play songs with quick notes, we move our fingers without thinking? It is incredible because when I try to think about how to give them the notes I failed them, yesterday I was practicing Ringing Bloom and I was impressed by the ability to move my fingers without realizing it.

Is it really weird that I play without music?

I actually remembered the song and usually just play with no music. The beatmap is also good that it reminds me of the song in case I forgot it. It's really not unplayable.

Finally, it's Tae Time! I will honestly say that she isn't my most top of the list girl but she does still have her nice good traits! First off her singing is good! BOF is amazing and is a big yes! Tae was also one of my first 3 stars near the start of the game and was super helpful. She also gets some really nice cards like the alice in wonderland 3 star and Dreamfes 4 star.

Next up on the list, Rimi Ushigome!

GUYS!!! Look at how gorgeous Rinko is!!!

That is all thank you for your time!!

I had the weirdest maths lesson today.

My friend (I'll call them KR), who doesn't even take maths as a subject, walks in with another friend and sits next to me. My maths teacher, being my maths teacher, is super chill about it when he realises KR's there, which is about 15 minutes in. It's really disorientating when the person who doesn't take maths takes more notes and is more active in answering questions than the rest of the class WHO TAKE maths. Then again, the stuff we did today was fairly simple for the level of stuff we usually do.

But in the second half of the lesson, my teacher had to go to a meeting for the rest of the lesson. About 98% of the class 'left to practice in another place' so I was left with my friends sitting beside me (I'll call the other LT). We went from doing the work like good students to slowly ending up with watching LT's super old AMVs, and me giving up entirely by playing Garupa. I let KR attempt EX Ringing Bloom on 9.0 (it went as well as you'd expect someone who plays on 5.0 to do, they play Garupa EXTREMELY rarely, in fact more like only when I'm with them), then I proceeded to try an FC again. No luck.

The good thing I can take from all this is that I straight up told them to listen to RAISE A SUILEN's music. They both know about my love for Bandori (and I know KR's listened to at least some songs, figured they haven't listened to any RAS though) so, fingers crossed.
