since i know probably half of the ppl on the website watched ep 2 of d4dj

i cannot be the only person that heard shukashuu (watanabe you from love live) on that speaker when maho and rinku were eating lunch. i cannot.

please take a happy maho on your way off

oh GOD, election day is finally today and i'm nervous as hell. i ended up stress napping before class, i didn't really eat breakfast, and chances are the election will be the only thing on my mind today.

once again, if you're 18+ and an american citizen, PLEASE VOTE (for biden) IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

(edit 11/7): HE'S GONE. THE CHEETO IS GONE.

Happy Around! has taught me that spinning is fun.

Seriously, if I'm standing with space and I'm listening to a HapiAra song, not doing a full 360 rotation at least once means something is up.

Also Kimi ni Happy Are is really really really good. Favourite HapiAra song. Rinku's "Maho-chan!" is now an iconic phrase for me.

(*￣0￣)θ～♪

not BanDori but also kinda yes? I'd never know this song without BanDori and the reason I'm singing it is BanDori so does that count or

anyway it's been so hot that the A/C has been blaring 24/7 so I didn't really get to record a lot but today I braved the heat cause I just really felt like singing and somehow I ended up with a self-duet of Romeo I guess

it's the short version cause frankly I'm melting and I needed to turn the A/C back on but idk here ya go

this is irrelevant but im BORED BORED-

I really like this costume, I will try to pull and get it maybe!

hello and welcome back to random life updates with Nija (I swear I'll shut up someday)

I may or may not have made my intense frustration with linguistics known before but I recently had a breakthrough in syntax class; now today I was bored in class and just did some random complex sentences on my own and when I showed them to my prof afterwards, turns out they were entirely correct and he told me he thinks I'm gonna do fine in the exam in this rly proud & surprised voice (this is the third time I'm doing this class and the second time with him as the prof, he's one of the few who actually remember who I am so I'm like 70% sure he's personally invested in this lol) and like. getting praised for something you usually suck at is sO NICE and knowing you finally understood something difficult for good ...

I go on and on about how I'm dumb but I actually get rly easily frustrated when I get stuck something I'm supposed to excel at (like languages) and this was such a big roadblock for me ... blame my ~*\gifted kid*~\ upbringings for my perfectionism & inability to study which are constantly fighting in my brain (please if you are one of the younger folks here make sure you learn how to study properly even if you don't need it yet, trust me on this, otherwise it will heck you over in the future) aNYWAY what I wanna say is I CAME, SAW, AND GANBARUBY'D. is this the year I finally pass this godforsaken class??? WILL I FINALLY BE FREE

folks, let me teach you something ... know when to say no when people ask you for help. even if it sounds fun, even if you actually really feel like doing it, unless you know you have the time and patience for it be sceptical because it's going to be stressful

"can you sing this original song with really hard timing for me, pitch-perfect, from a sample that makes it kinda hard to hear what's going on, with no pay?" no problem pal you need my voice I'm here!!

"hey Nija can you draw a big illust for our website in a dl of ~a week even though that's something you usually take much longer for even when you don't have class?" absolutely friend who else is gonna do it!!

"yo can you switch presentations to a completely different topic and a much earlier date on short notice" sure whatever you need!!

no. don't do that. don't be a fool don't end up with several deadlines around the same time and this time it's not even the fault of your terrible time management and procastinating tendencies it just all happens to be a bunch of things that take lots of effort falling together

also ... if you're good at something ... never do it for free. about that song, I was on the way to uni tryna figure out how to do the harmonies when it suddenly hit me. why am I stressing over this. this isn't a commission. I don't owe anyone anything. but I already promised I'd do it PLEASE VALUE YOUR TIME AND EFFORT THIS HAS BEEN A PSA

I'm actually glad I did that illustration and I knew what I was getting into when I took up the offer, and it's getting paid at least, but Boy my head hurts from staring at SAI for too long now. at least I'm done with 2/3 of these things now and I've got the presentation scheduled through but sHEESH

Yay! Happy Birthday Kyoka-chan!

okay this is maybe like a super stupid idea but I figured I may as well ask cause I know some people here play it so!!!!!

I've been watching a lot ... like a LOT of Among Us streams and videos, and I really wanna play, but I'm absolutely terrible at dealing with strangers or people I don't know that well. like for the first two months I didn't play multi live because I was scared. and I don't have enough friends to play with ... but when I think about communities I enjoy being in I think about BanPa so bASICALLY what I'm trying to say is

I just kinda thought maybe if there's enough interest we could make like a BanPa Among Us group or something ...?

I mean timezones might def be an issue and idk if there's even enough people and I've never even done anything like this before and it's probably a bad idea anyway I just wanted to. bring it up. just in case. (／。＼)

Oh yes,I also started to play Genshin Impact yesterday night and I am still learning a lot but I also read the manga and I highly recommend it
