Farnul weekly 24-27/10
Oct. 28th, 2024 01:17 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
subyssgoeitaRecently decided to start journaling. Kind of addicted actually. But anyway I've also decided that I'll do a weekly purge of what I've wrote onto my dreamwidth, alongside my own commentary added on to this, because it gives me something to do.
Now if you're wondering: oh well there's only three days here that's not a week. You'd be correct. But it's Sunday today and I was journaling before the 24th but that was lists and I'm not sharing those lists. So you're getting this.

Milk Tea Had
I don't care for fruit tea actually, so I only get milk teas. There's two main places I go to, one that's Hong Kong and another that's Taiwanese. Honestly prefer the Hong Kong one as it has a more unique range of flavours (mainly red bean. I love red bean.). As well as pineapple buns and mini french toast. Only thing I dislike is that the lids are so much more difficult to puncture compared to other shops. I'm weak and enfeebled so maybe it's just me as my friend instantly pierced it but you never know.
But both are great, I love them. They're independent instead of all the chain ones in Birmingham (I'm not in Birmingham but you know what I mean). I buy more from the Taiwanese place as it's more convenient to my University but I want to go to the Hong Kong one more because. Pineapple buns.
Here's a list of what I've had:
-Red Bean Matcha
-Hokkaido Milk
-Taro Milk
-Red Bean Milk Tea (divine)
-Hokkaido Matcha
-Ube Taro Milk
Pretty small list but whatever.
Here's a list of what I would like to try
-Coconut Milk
-Hokkaido Cofffee
-Vanilla Coffee
-Hokkaido Chocolate
-Vanilla Chocolate
-Vanilla Matcha
-Jasmine Milk
-Oreo Milk
-Oolong Milk
-Honeydew Milk
-Thai Milk
-Blueberry Milk
-Wintermelon milk
Bigger list. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to tell me I'm always interdasted in something new.

Music
Been getting into visual kei again because Nico mentioned it. I'm back into the stuff I originally liked (Kiryu, Mejibray).
I used to hate Decadence (Mejibray), but upon a further relistening... It's good. Not my favourite song of their's- because Raven is my favourite- but better than I gave it credit for.
Also on the topic of listening to things I used to hate and now liking them: I listened to The Raid again. I originally absolutely hated their music for some reason when I first got into Vkei, to the point where I referred to them as a band that was only popular because the vocalist was attractive. Youch. Anyway I was very wrong! The Raid is awesome, I wish I enjoyed their music earlier. I was but a fool.
Anyway, I got a megaset of Vkei CDs from ebay. I'll include them in my October buys post. Surprisingly, it was only £23 and it consists of 16 unopened CDs, Wowza! I mainly bought it for Mejibray, Razor, Royz, Rshitei and Diaura but it has other bands I haven't listened to before (Moran, v[NEU], Doremidan, Asty, Daizystripper, Sixh, Alycon and 12012. Also has 0.1g no gosan. I'll upload them all to Soulseek, as well as provide zips to anyone interested who doesn't want to use Soulseek. Bit of a naughty and devilish thing to do, but music preservation is important, especially for Vkei.
On another note, I also need to redownload a bunch of music for Wacup as I gutted my DLs out of annoyance for them being. I don't know. I just deleted them all anyway.
Wacup is awesome though. It's the best music player in my opinion. Unfortunately, not a big Soulseek fan despite it's usefulness, so I have to resort to other... methods.
Haven't thought much about it though, but I assume I can just use a YT, soundcloud and spotify DLer plus a metadata replacer to do the monumental task of replacing all my music. It's just way more time consuming than Soulseek.
25/10/24 7:26
Train was cancelled, plus I was randomly woken up by my dad.
(I wrote the rest after I came back from university, so like 6 hours later)
Still on my period, very annoying. Skipped my classes after the practical, because it was, I kid you not- a guide on how to make a CV. Absolutely ridiculous. Unfortunately for me, the one class I skip is the one time this module decides to give us an assignment. Yay.
23:05
Been looking at taobao lately. It's... very tempermental, but when you find a good brand you find a good brand. If I end up buying something from there I'll make a post about it.
Going to reorganise my room/clothes. Atleast I'm planning to. I'm not getting the rail methinks, due to multiple very stupid reasons; main one being my mother still wants me to have the temu rail that keeps falling apart. Temu warriors strike again.
I have so much stuff to sell on Vinted (normie clothes I have no plans on restyling/DIY) and just too much stuff in general. So hopefully this'll help.
Also, annoyingly, another 'men suck' moment happened today. I was on the train to my university and it was relatively empty as it usually is at that time. The entire carriage I was in was empty aside from like two seats infront of me. Then, an absolute stinker of a man, stank to the maximum, sat next to me. Obviously, I'm like 'Can you move please there's plenty of seats' and then he replies 'Oh they're reserved'
Okay? Still move? Plus, there was like. More empty carriages up ahead.
Yeah, I should have moved myself after he refused to move but why in the first place did he that?? It's just plain stupidity. Plus the entire journey no one sat in those seats. It's also just common etiquette to not sit next to people on the train when there's empty seats. Just sit in the reserved seat until the owner of it asks you to move. Absolutely ridiculous.
On top of the train stanker, I feel like my university is a hub for The Stank. It's ridiculous how just plain Nasty people smell in my modules. It's not me, by the way. I smell like vanilla and chocolate.
The only plus side of this day was that I got to talk to one of my lecturers about Darkest Dungeon and Terraria after the practical. Also my pompompurin baguette pencil case was well beloved (will post him in the October buys post).
26/10/24 5:01
I'm losing weight, yay. I attribute it to the fact I'm more active (I was walking a lot at my job but it was moreso standing than anything), as well as doing small exercises regularly throughout the day. I use workrave, which is a neat little application if you're unfortunate enough to be so chronically online you use your PC for more than like. 5 hours a day like me. You can set it up to kick you off your PC every few hours or whenever for a select amount of time. I do 10 minutes every 2 hours.
Tangent aside, I'm not too interested in losing much more weight, and I'd rather just focus on toning.
5:14
Would like to design inserts for my planner (it's a playboy planner. I'll show. also in my October buys). Maybe perhaps sell them if there's any interest. I love the idea of people bringing back filofaxes again. Everyone should do it.
I plan on using it as an everything sort of thing (as those portable filofax like planners tend to be). I love notebooks too, I'd like to buy more hardcover ones.
But anyway, I'm considering buying the dolphin and veggie sketchbook from yogurts.net even though I don't draw traditionally. Just because I love the covers that much. Also I love writing still so I'll just write in them instead.
I also need to work on my site more. It's so joever. It's just difficult, considering it's just a big effort and I always leave big gaps between coding sessions so i forget and... Eugh.
I want to make a webring with my friendlipopsss- fubread webring. Moe.
Also working on styling this dress. I wish I had pictures of it originally before I altered it slightly (took off an annoying chain part) but whatever. I'll post pictures of how I styled it later.
It's loose so I assume I'll wear trousers and a belt with it. It looks much better off shoulder, a scarf would be nice with it too if I had any full fabric scarves (all of mine are like. thin material).
(drawings of styling ideas. I'll edit this with pictures when I actually wear it properly. I had a styling idea and pictures of it but I'm not posting those. yet.)
I also want to start wearing more shorts, skirts and dresses, so I'm looking for tights... Any suggestions?
Thinking the obvious classics, red/purple/white with black stripes, leopard print, distressed/ripped (I'll make those myself). Knee/thigh highs would be nice too but I don't know how I feel about bare legs. I wear bicycle shorts with all of my dresses/skirts and particularly short shorts.
16:07
First belt I bought (it's less than a year old) is in shambles. I assume it's because the seller wasn't forthright with it being Shein/similar. Sellers never admit it lol. Anyway, it's got the classic belt crackling, which is normal, but x100.
It was a daily wear belt (to work), but I never did anything physically intensive with it aside from like. Walking slightly and sitting and standing for 7 hours a day. I'm just going to salvage the buckle as I still like that. Sad to throw it away but it's unusable.
19:54
I want to play terraria again. I can't though. It's a disturbing addiction. A disgusting vice of mine.
Also finished The Liminal People. Phenomenal book despite my few little complaints, there's really nothing like it.
20:16
I want to change my signature.
21:18
Using my new Sadie bag (got it off Vinted). It doesn't have as many 'footholds' as my other bags so accessorising abilities are limited to just the zips. So I stuck my most fitting pomppompurin on it. Pics below
Very cute. My favourite Sadie song is Juggernaut or Holy Terrors. Great band.
The censor is me btw. reflected back.
Going to wait for my playboy planner in order to start my October buy post, as well as a 'what's in my bag' because it's moe. I plan on doing dailies in there, small one line daily summings up and writing ideas as the planners always on me for easy writing.
I want a moleskin notebook too, for writing. Traditional writing is very freeing despite how convenient Scrivener is.
I also want two monitors...
27/10/24 23:23
I've been using a different pen to my normal pompompurin ones, as seen by the previous entries here. It's what came with this notebook (university gift), and it's obviously cheap and relatively useless. Still a pen though. I'll have to throw it away unfortunately when it's ran out of ink. It's got real shitty material to it, weird plastic-paper mix that dents easily and feels bad. It writes really bad too, much less freely and requires more effort than my pompompurin pens.
Trying to use semicolons more.
I actually want to write more seriously, complete my VNs/short stories as I have so many on the abckburner.
I don't want to be published (atleast not majorly, if I really want it I'll self publish or go to a very small indie publisher.)
My one goal is to be a disturbingly small one or two person army publisher. I adore anthologies and despite my general misanthropy, I'd love to have a magazine for creatives in my general space.
A very far away idea but you can always believe and strive.
