Woooo holy s**t, I could ask that question 'how is Gaia still alive wtf'. They're harder to kill then a lot of horror movie icons like Jason and Chucky. ... Watch, I'm jinxing this s**t. sobs
K SO Chances are you're probably future me (hey, honey, hope you're doing well these days), but if not, uh... hi. Go follow me on Twitter or watch me stream games and sucking at it over on Twitch (monstersakurah for both).
So what has happened to your old favorite pal Saku during 2020 and half of 2021? Well, lots of s**t, aside from the COVID thing that is still a relevant thing despite a lot of people thinking otherwise and will eventually be put in ventilators if they haven't already by now.
+ Major thing! I quit the grocery hellscape back in late Feb '20! Yep, right before lockdown began and the great Toilet Paper exodus. So does this mean that I'm doing something more meaningful? Depends on who you ask, but uh...
+ I originally quit so I can focus more on doing the food delivery gig and do art commissions, especially since I had upgraded to a not-Windows XP or Vista comp and having a drawing tablet that I still love. It was... slow. Mostly because a lot of other people lost their jobs and if anyone remembered 2020, it was a real shitshow, let's be honest.
+ Youngest sister had a baby. I'm now an aunt 5 times over.
+ I don't have a 'real' job and have been protesting the whole 'min wage slave' trend that's been happening this year. On the surface, thing seem to be okay, but living in constant stress isn't healthy. Some places have promised to raise their wages and I have been playing with the idea of trying to find something to supplement myself (and the idea of upgrading my comp to a gaming rig) with some terms and conditions of my own.
+ I am confirmed an autistic person. That explains a lot of s**t that had culminated and happened pretty much all my life This doesn't give me an excuse for any sorts of shitty behavior that I had done in the past and this revelation doesn't bring any old friendships back, nor would I want them to. It's knowing what you can do now that you're more aware of your quirks and how to handle them, especially regarding the meltdowns that get mixed in with depressive episodes.
+ Weed is love, weed is life. It has been helping me regain that sense of vibrancy I missed when I was younger and wasn't trying to paddle up shitcreek regarding grocery hell. Especially regarding last year to about now, things would be a lot more depressing and I am not going to explain beyond that.
+ Crypto is life, even if over half of it is capable of being extremely scammy. Still love it though and I'm not gonna argue with anyone about it. I'm not even gonna spam you with referral links to places I earn it because I am well aware that kind of thing is a pyramid scheme, except you don't invest anything but your time.
+ Got a new pug in Feb '20, right after I quit my old job. Penny is easily the sassiest one. Unfortunately, we lost Jack early August. Typing this now, it's still fresh.
Uh... that's all I can think of. If you got this far, go get you something nice. That includes you, future self. I may type up more random s**t until I lose interest in Gaia again. Or it actually dies, either way.
