You know how sometimes when you are not used to certain climates you essentially feel like you're dying when you gotta put up with 'em?
You know how the area of Mexico I live in is notoriously hot?
... You ever been so cold that you essentially go through most of the day with a massive headache and a stuffy nose?
GEEZ DUDE. I'm freezing out here. The worst part is? It's only about 9°C right now! If anyone here lives in one of those places where it goes way below 0, hi, yes, how do you survive??? Is this like a superpower or something? Plz help. Ya boi's human popsicle rn.
Also, on a slightly less annoyed note, I am playing Earthbound! It's one of those games I keep re-starting and re-starting, but now I'm gonna do my best to finish it. (Funny how the game's older than me and yet I never managed to get my hands on it until like, five years ago or so).

OK I really did not know what to title this but YO WHAT DO I DO.
I have some stories I'd like to maybe write up here, maybe in a separate World, BUT! One of the character's name is Orion, a.k.a the name I am going by. And like, I promise you he is not a self-insert or anything. It's just that I created him before I started trying out how much I liked the name for myself.
I might change his name? But it might be a struggle because him and his two siblings that are part of the story are all named after constellations or stars, and I don't wanna have to look up another one.
Ah beans.
I tried writing a comment on this album I just purchased off of Bandcamp (because I was so excited I found it available for digital purchase! I had only been able to listen to it through Spotify)... but it was too long and it didn't let me, so I'm copy/pasting it here, 'cause I'm pretty darn proud of it. The album is The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League by The World/Inferno Friendship Society.
"I feel like I'm much, much too late to have discovered this album. See, this was released when I was two, three years old. I'm now twenty-eight, and the only reason I even discovered it was via the creator of my favorite videogame talking about it on Twitter last year... a few weeks after lead vocalist Jack Terricloth's passing. I always dislike getting to know an artist's work after they pass away (or after one of their musicians passes away). It's kind of heartbreaking knowing you will never listen to them the same way, be it because now you are painfully aware of their absence, or because the new instruments or voice will never compare to the original.
But I was looking for new music, and I was going through a weird patch of my life, so I decided, 'hey, why not give this one album a try?'. So I did. And oh man. Oh man. I'm so happy I did. It was one of those times where I didn't know what to expect of the album I was about to delve into, and it certainly... Wasn't That. I was iffy, wondering if I was going to like it, but I listened to it all the way through several times. And I fell in love, I guess. I fell in love with the strange instrumentation, the lyrics that are kind of too fast-paced to sing along with. I don't know what it was about this album that caught me so much. But listening to it feels exciting, and freeing, and like being an unruly kid all over again. And I think there's value to that. I think there's something wonderful about being able to feel like a bit of weight drops off your shoulders and suddenly you're in the thick of the feeling of invincibility of being young - and then going through the first realization that said feeling of invincibility is fleeting, and having your spirit crushed for the first time, and learning to move past that.
I don't know. It's authentic. I guess that's all there is to it.
I'm excited to delve deeper into the W/IFS discography. Hopefully I'll like what I find. Hopefully it'll feel like flying."
Y'all if you listen to weird punk music and/or loved the game Night in the Woods, please go give this album a listen I promise you it's so g o o d. Also yeah, I'm a rambler. I didn't know Bandcamp only allowed for teeny-tiny comments. Geez.
