Fifth Entry [22/12/2024]: Today (or maybe yesterday?? Idk its past midnight in my timezone rn, I should've probably slept by now ;-;) was one hell of a rabbit hole experience for me... And by that I mean falling down a internet rabbit hole. Like, I wasn't even online for the most of the day but looking back, I think I spent the past few hours exploring, lurking, searching and clicking random links on the internet.

Idk man, I'm so tired rn,

I wanna sleep so bad, but I need to finish this blog post first...

Anyways, I'll keep it short because I realized that I don't have much thing to talk about it anyway despite wasting my hours on lurking in the web. Long story short, I discovered some stuff that Melonland made, most notably the MelonLand Forum, which was such a refreshing thing to see after knowing no other proper forum site on the web outside of Reddit (*crowd booing*) (Reddit sucks I know). The discussions were interesting, the community was polite and engaging in general and the overall environment and forum style really intruigued me. I registered a forum account after that too and my account submission should be reviewed within a few days I suppose. Other than that, I also discovered many interesting webcomics through the "Webcomics" category in the forum and I also discovered some other stuff outside of the forum (but also through MelonLand websurfing stuff) such as the existence of a site called Sheezy.art which is an art & writing sharing platform apparently... I made an account on there too cuz why not? An art sharing site that isn't mainstream and is also filled with super cool artists as well!! How could I resist the temptaion of making an account in there too? (I guess I will put the link of my profile on the "Socials" section on the homepage of my website too)

Anyways, that's it for today. Its 12:45 AM in my timezone rn and I am staring at the computer screen at a dim lighted room without my glasses. Juno's out.

Fourth Entry [19/12/2024]: Writing one more entry before the year ends, I can't believe I already spent an entire year at a country outside of my home country for the first time in my life...

Last Sunday, I went to an indie bookstore called "Livraria Snob" in Lisboa and they have lots of cool books and zines (yes, even zines!!) and other stuff like that but yk what was the worst part? They were mostly in Portuguese and my immigrant ass isn't fluent in the language yet. My devastation was so immense that it could not be expressed with the limits of the English language but I told that about the shop owner (or was he just the employee in there? idfk) and he said "oh cmon dude I bet you'll learn it fast" but anyways, that kind of regret was always something that I felt whenever I entered a bookstore in Portugal and yesterday I finally decided to study Portuguese despite my procastinating tendencies I spent most of my day procastinating today actually but anyways and now I'm trying to translate a children's book in Portuguese that my friend gave to me and trying to expand my vocabulary with it. I also have an app in my phone that has most of the words (if not all) in Portuguese and their different versions (present tense, past tense etc.) so I might just search up words from there too. After I get fluent in this language, I wanna start learning either Spanish or Polish cuz my ocs are Polish (one of them is Argentinian/Polish actually) and they grew up in the 70s and 80s which means they lived in Polish People's Republic and that part of the Polish history is lowkey important for their backstories but unfortunately only proper resources for this time in Polish history are available in Polish and the only available English source for it is literally fucking Wikipedia which cites sources that are in POLISH which means that I need to learn that language in order to make extensive research for my story and my ocs. But alas, I need to get fluent in Portuguese first.

Within this era of scattered, unorganized and sometimes even inaccesible sea of information and media, multilingualism shall be my salvation (I'm so proud of myself for coming up with this quote today lol)

Anyways, Juno's out- *crashing noises*

Third Entry [28/11/2024]: Hello again!

I am dealing with a creative block right now, which is kinda sucky because I only just felt like I finally gained my creative and artistic confidence back. It's probably because I'm just tired though, it should get better later on, I guess.

I already made a sketch that I am planning on sharing on this website, but I have to make the art page before. I am too lazy for it but I'll eventually make it some day or another. I am lazy about many things in general nowadays, tbh, perhaps I need to stop being lazy.

There was also a Physics & Chemistry test today. The worst part is that the questions were about the topics I studied prior to that and I forgot about them all -_-

I am toying with a new story idea as well, btw, working on it will probably help me gain more experience with making a series or at least developing an idea so that it will at least become something more than an idea. I won't really promise anything about the series, though, because it's more of an experimental idea at this point.

And that was it for today, Juno's out.

Second Entry [20/11/2024]: I'm back again! Made myself some hot chocolate (it doesn't sucks this time!) and I'm listening a video essay about Hellenistic Polytheism. I think I'll study some Geography or Portuguese after that.

Anyways, that was it for today. Juno's out.

First Entry [15/11/2024]: Finally finished my journal section! (I hope, I haven't checked how it looks on the iframe, so I'll probably modify the code a bit after I'm done writing this entry...)

Anyways, so uh, today was a bit boring tbh. Like, we didn't had school because there was a protest, and now I'm just sitting in front of my computer and returning to my shrimp genetic ancestry while I code this website. Also, yesterday was very bad, especially the nighttime, I had a breakdown and I still lowkey feel like shit afterwards. I'm a bit better now, but anyways...

Some other notable stuff that happened today included:

And that's it for today I guess. I am planning on watching my favorite Ghibli movie (Pom Poko) but I'll probably take a shower before that. And we also recently bought a microwave as well, which means I can make myself microwave popcorns for when I will watch that movie.

Right after I finished writing the previous paragraph, I took a quick "What Does Your Favorite Ghibli Movie Says About You?" quiz and this was the result for Pom Poko:

Also, tomorrow, there will be a gathering between other folks from the Turkish immigrant community in Portugal, it will be in Lisbon but my mom says that it will only be adults. It's a shame, honestly, it would be an opportunity for me to go to a proper place outside of home at least for once. There is really nothing to see or do in Setúbal. Not to mention the awful smell that is present most of the days as well.

Okay, that was it for today I guess

Juno's out.

Edit: POM POKO IS WAY WORSE THAN I REMEMBERED WHAT THE FUCK-
