March 29th, 2025. 12:36AM ★— I pulled another all nighter this day to finished my evil character assignment. I needed to finish it by my professors next class so I could give him my physical copy. Which I did! Epic yay and win! But I was so tired I ended up going back to the dorm and napping through my figure drawing class. When I woke up I went back to the labs and was greated with these wonderful creations on my friend's cintiq.

Coloured printing was the easy part. The real challenge was finding a single pair of scissors in the animation wing (we failed). My roommate ended up cutting him out with our friend's box cutter, which was also pretty challenging. That's why it looks like mikey way himself took a giant bite of the paper.

Went to the Murray McKay (1944 - 2024) exhibit with some friends.

—

March 20th, 2025. 1:40AM ★— It was a collection of works featuring the recently deceased life drawing model Murray McKay. Our life drawing professor (who was also in it) told us about the exhibit and I went with some college friends. I reaaalllly really love figure drawing and it was so cool to see all the different approaches by all the different artists there. We saw some other life drawing models attending the show as well! Life drawing is such a great thing, rest in piece Murray.

A theme within the show that really resonated with me was the relationship between the model and the artist. The passages in the show explain it better:

I drew Petekey yuri for class.

—

March 12th, 2025. 1:37AM ★— Used to say "I drew Petekey yaoi for class." but I can't not see them as girls! ... Based off Pete's live journal entry about the new mexico sunet.

The assignment was to draw a couple layouts based off this rough storyboard and style sheet. In the storyboard, one of the characters goes over to a computer and then they talk. So the story behind this is that Mikey Way from My Chemical Romance has found out about Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy's live journal through the grape vine and Pete is super shy and embarassed about this because he's been writing gay fanfiction of them in secret (this happened in real life) (see image below).



And Pete's like "gaaaahhhhhhhhh don't look at that haha don't look at thatDON'T LOOK AT THAT!..". But then Mikey is like it's okay... I like queerbaiting too. Let's make a bunch of money TOGETHER ♥

I'm not gonna post all the panels because well it's actually really bad but here's a taste here's a picture here's a painting.

My best friend came to visit during Zine Zone (wearing the coolest outfit ever)!

—

March 9th, 2025. 1:53AM ★— Had such a CRAZY FRIDAY (March 7th)! My best friend came to visit from America!!! And so did a friend that goes to another school!! And it was ZINE ZONE!!! #SoThatHappened. I wish they could've stayed longer though!! Heartbroken emoji... WE NEED TO TALK MORE AND SEE EACH OTHER MORE But the evil universe is keeping us away from each other physically. Bought a bunch of new prints and stickers and Other Secret things... In the process of re-curating my print wall. I started the night of zine zone but it's been taking so long I'm still not finished! I kind of peaked already with my previous curation so it's been a bit difficult to reorganize in an improvingly pleasing and satisfying way. I bought a couple more black prints, but also some green and orange ones—I think I need to restructure the flow completely! But it's still so exciting.

Also something so devastating I found out about yesterday that I wanted to write about. I recently came upon a song called 無核(No Seeds) by 盧凱彤(Ellen Joyce Loo) that I added to my playlist a while ago. Yesterday I was going through her discography and listening to more of her music, and I was wondering why her last album came out in 2019. I wondered if it was just Spotify but I checked QQ and it said the same thing. So I decided to Google her and see what she was up to now. She died August 5th, 2018 at the age of 32. It was an apparent suicide, footage of her falling off a building but no note. I found out the cause later in her Wikipedia, but before that, I also found out that she was born in Toronto and a lesbian and married to 余静萍(Yu Jing Pin).

She was also in a duo called at17. I listened to some of their music last year, so I was surprised to find out she was part of it. I checked out their Wikipedia as well, and it quelled my curiosity about their name.



Of course I then listened to At Seventeen by Janis Ian and it was just that. I don't know. It's just all so unfortunate. I've been thinking about it recently. I just can't believe it.

March 6th, 2025. 8:12PM ★— I've been wanting to write an entry for a WEEK NOW! Especially since I was nearing the end of the month (aaad now I don't know what to say)! And I was sort of on a roll last week, what with all my emotional fluctuations. I'm sitting in an empty classroom with 2 friends right now "doing" "homework". One is doing homework, the other is drawing Minho Choi shirtless, and I'm typing this. These months are really blowing by fast..!

After February I noticed I had two songs that really stuck out for me from that playlist, and it was similar with January. So I typed them out on the last date of those months. If I keep accidentally having "songs of the month" I'll continue adding! Also like how 1 is always in Chinese.

Later in the month, I like to organize my playlists into a good listening order. And because of this, I started viewing the playlist as having multiple "sections" or "chunks". For example, in February it was sort of like this.

——————————————
|    Beginning of the month vibe
|    1. Incredible - Madonna
|    2. You Make Me Want To Be A Man - Hikaru Utada
|    3. The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You - My Chemical Romance

|    5. One Of THOSE Nights - The Cab
|    6. I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers - Fall Out Boy

|    Transitional
|    7. 我不小心(I Was Not Careful) - 鐵之貝克(Tizzy Bac)
——————————————
|    SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|    8. Devil Inside - Hikaru Utada
|    9. 很小很小(Small Small) - 魏如萱(Waa Wei)
|    10. Stay Away From My Friends - Pierce the Veil
|    11. 可憐的東西(Poor Thing) - 窦靖童(Leah Dou) ft. 魏如萱(Waa Wei)
——————————————
|    Transitional
|    12. Tearin' Up My Heart - NSYNC

——————————————

If that makesss seeennnnnnseeee I thought it was interesting! I also kind of wanted to annotate my playlists (INSPIRED BY OOMF!) (hiiiiii ooomffff!!!) but that would be totally COPYING and also I don't have thaaat much to say. For the most part none of these songs really represent anything. Nonetheless, I think it's still a bit interesting how I came across some. So I'll still say that here!!

1. Said OOMF was singing a bit of it when we met up on February 1st, and they were going to make it the first song of THEIR monthly playlist BUT I BEAT THEM!!!!
4. From a blend with my emo college friend I DIDNT KNOW HE HAD AN ALBUM LIKE THIS I still need to listen to more songs off it It's so incrediiibaale though
5. Same blend!!
10. I was walking out of history lecture and I passed by a friend in my year who was wearing a Pierce the Veil Selfish Machines shirt and the shirt was kind of fire so I decided to listen to the album. Stay Away From My Friends is sooooooo gooood!! I later told that friend that I did that and it was my favourite song off the album and they were like ME TOO!
11. I was drinking while listening to the album this song is from
12. Rebecca Black boiler room set!! I keep confusing this with "I Want You Back"
16. I think I was looking through the "appears on" section on Spotify and I found this compilation and was like yeeeeeesssssssss so I found it off there. The album that this song is actually from (Ten Most Wanted) doesnt even have a photo cover on Spotify!!
18. A friend recommended!!!
19. Back At One got stuck in my head randomly so I listened to it and this played right after
20. One night I was going through 黄龄(Huang Ling)'s youtube channel for fun and then I decided to check out her Bilibili and I found this live performance she did with 二手玫瑰(Second Hand Rose)! And there's also a video of it on Youtube. I decided to check out 二手玫瑰(Second Hand Rose) and later got one of their live performances in a daylist. I listened to the song while walking home at the end of the day in the cold wet darkness and it was Perfect for that atmosphere.
21. A mirror of said OOMF's first song in their February playlist

Well that's that for that! Really excited for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and next week and next month and the month after that etc. etc. Starting to get back into doing HOMEWORK after not doing HOMEWORK for maybe 2 days and I'm starting to remember and realize why everybody is so miserable and why I as so miserable last week. Though I'm trying to find my center and inner peace and chiillllllllllll ouuuutttttt... ALSO I Am going to make this page the homepage and make the other pages the other pages laaater. Still going to be planetgob though but this is the Main Page noww. Gonna wash the dishes and take out the trash before sleeping. I hope everyone here is doing well and non euphemistic fabulous and I am wishing everyone here a goodniiiight~~~!

February 27th, 2025. 4:01AM ★— I did, in fact, end up doing my laundry! I ate and sat around and it was actually around 1:38AM when I convinced myself to get up and do it. I was sooootired. But I changed and made tea and listened to music and got to business. I washed my sheets too. And did the dishes while I waited for it all to dry. And then put the laundry away after it dried and made my bed and took a shower and went to sleep at 6:00AM. I got the urge to listen to Evergreen again, and then ended up listening most of 07 WINTER SMTOWN. As I stepped away from my computer, toward the laundry room, my Spotify changed from my computer to my phone. So I was forced to listen to whatever shuffled. Which was more kpop Christmas music. I always seem to listen to Christmas music at uniquely low or stressful points in my life (or just during Christmas time). I remember pulling an all nighter in middle school to build this stupid thing out of cardboard for math class, and I streamed a bunch of Wham! for no reason. Really the only thing that could cheer me up. And it's Korean this time what the hell, sure. I saved Snow Candy (K.Will, SISTAR, BOYFRIEND) and 그것뿐이에요 Just You (SUPER JUNIOR-K.R.Y) to my likes. And then I listened to TVXQ! while doing the dishes. Luckily I have this really great playlist with a bunch of their songs from before they split. I got up in the afternoon again and worked on my animation assignment again. Animating Jesper from Klaus, blushing and peeing himself, for class, for school, for my professor, for my bachelors degree. I was trying so hard not to laugh in the labs the whole time. Worked some things out with my roommate. Had some conversations with some people on some devices and also in person in real life. I'm feeling much better today (NOT KIDDING)! I was going to continue working on my animation right now but it's 4 in the morning and my head wont stop hurting. I was about to list out what I had ate today but it's a bit embarrassing. I keep drinking water hoping it will cure me but it's not working anymore. I think sleep might be the only answer. Goodniiight~

February 25th, 2025. 10:59PM ★— Typing this from the labs. Finished a good portion of my assignment today, though I wish I did more! But still surprising how much I was able to do. About to head back to the dorm. I didn't do laundry yesterday! It was too late! So maybe #thistime. Because it is #only11rightnow. Cried again today, earlier in the day. Now I just feel so weird. I'm hoping this week is just cursed and once it's next week the curse will be lifted and I will be free. I feel so weird and sad but also not sad. When I close my eyes vivid images of Jesper from Klaus flash before my eyelids in purple red and green. How sickening!!! I don't know what to do. I don't know what anyone wants from me. I am sorry everyone. I am so sorry. I don't know what to do. My Google Snake high score is currently 131.

February 25th, 2025. 1:23AM ★— Uploading 2 previous logs that I wasn't going to post because I'm writing a third one now, and 3 uncomfortable strange logs are better than 1 and 0! Said that I was feeling better yesterday and then a couple hours later ended up crying myself to sleep and this time I know the reason why but I wont say. Cried again today (or yesterday, I suppose) out of stress, 3 hours before I aimed to submit an assignment. Both times alone. So nobody knows this except my dear reader who I seem to be holding hostage in this paragraph. I feel quite okay now though. Evil almost. I'm sad and then I'm evil and then I'm sad and then I'm giddy. Maybe it's not my period, maybe I do need a therapist. I think I just need to start doing my homework faster. Hopefully doing laundry tonight after I finish eating this delicious pasta my roommate made. Excited to meet with a friend this Friday. This is my second reading week at college and my first reading week AT college. Everything is darker and emptier, and I'm not just being dramatic this time. The automatic lights in the classrooms and hallways turn off faster and earlier, and there's a lot less people of course. But the on campus Tim Hortons is surprisingly open! The dorm is dark too. I don't know if they used to light up the entrance outside or something, but as I was walking back the difference was clear. It's probably a combination of that and people leaving residence. Also does not help that I have been getting up at around 3pm and the sun sets at 5pm. So dark! So unfortunate and evil and so ridiculous. It was 8 degrees today though. I cannot wait to walk again during the Spring and Summer months. My Google Snake high score is currently 122.

A friend came to visit campus with a fabulous (non-euphemistic) notebook sticker!

February 24th, 2025. 12:25AM ★— Another instance of imagining a log and then sitting down and then not knowing what to write...! I'm waiting for my food to reheat right now. I was "working" on an essay due tonight but at some point I had to let go of the idea of handing it in on time. #worthit though (the reason that it's late). But seriously after I eat this I'm gonna seriously lock in I swear. I have newfound hope and motivation for my assignments. Which I imagine will last me about 1 day once I realize what it's like actually sitting down and working on them. Feeling less depressed recently and I think it's because my period is ending. Isn't it great how I can just point to this as an explanation for all my emotional fluctuations to avoid digging any deeper into what I actually think and feel. But seriously, what else could it be! #yaaaayyyyyy. Still mildly upsetting that I will be spending my reading week actually doing homework. Buuummer. My mom texted me about my summer job that I don't want to do. I need to start applying to libraries again. But last time I tried to do it on the site it didn't work for some reason! It just didn't go through! But that was about 3 months ago. And I've been too scared to check back since. But if I don't do it soon... Also thinking back to the alcohol I had last week. Long story that my singular reader already knows about, but I've had some left over soju sitting in my dorm for about 2 months now, and I was so miserable last week that I ended up finishing it! I've never had the urge to drink during the school year because I've been feeling quite alright and I'm also so so busy. But really it was so fun and I want to buy more and I want to drink more. I want to drink and forget and have fuuuuuuun! Hopefully while still completing my work if that is possible. But it's quite difficult to get soju in my current living conditions so I will just have to wait until a bit later.

February 5th, 2025. 3:46PM ★— Writing this as I wait for the bus to Walmart. I never have time to write entries at the end of the day!! So perhaps I should opt for these small in between moments where I simply have nothing better to do. But I'm not such a big fan of typing in the Samsung notes app (these days)...

Anyway, to do some post month reflection, emoji playlist business is going well so far! Buuuut there are some evil qualms...

1. There are some sequences that are just not as aeshetic as others, unfortunately!

2. My computer doesn't have as many emojis as my phone!! (they get turned into line emoticons). Pretty okay sometimes, but the coffin was DISAPPOINTING (January 29th used to be a coffin (i died)).

3. Also don't know when I'm gonna start doing repeats. I've been trying to avoid it but I know it's coming one day!

4. Sometimes, I really just don't know! I started typing these out during winter break, when my life was superbly thrilling. Though I knew once I got to school, it would be a bit more tricky to pick interesting emojis. Being at art school helps though. I try to choose things that are more specific to the day rather than what I mostly did to avoid repeats. Ex. My roommate makes really good pasta. Even though it's so so delicious and maybe even the highlight of my day, they'll probably make it again another day. Ex. I have a friend that I like to go on comically long walks with whenever we meet up (because what else can you do?), but I wouldn't just put a walking emoji because we do that every time! etc. etc. Although if it's ever reeaaallly reaaallly relevant, I'll put it!

5. First and last emojis of the month get SERIOUS! (because they're the title of the playlists). Felt influenced on January 31st to make it a mailbox because the white of the mail matched the white of the mask on the masked emoji. Curse my artistic soul. One of my favourite emojis I could've saved for a more mailful occassion. Alas.

In the absence of a straightener, I tried styling my hair with 2 side clips and a middle part. There was lots of backlash.

January 22nd, 2025. 11:11PM ★— It was my first time sitting in a class time slot that wasn't mine! Apparently that's just something you can do here (depending on the teacher). I wanted to show her progress of my walk cycle before my Friday class. It's going not bad so far! BUT IM STILL SO SCARED IT'LL BE UGLY prayers appreciated. It also happened to be the animation class 2 of my oomfs are in, which I only realized once I was waiting outside the door at 2:00pm! Yaaaaaaayy! Still feel pretty on top of things even though I'm technically secretly really not, but we'll see. Hoping to start a personal piece soon as well so I can complete it before the end of January... And blah blah blah. Listening to MCR right now. Life is so nothing. Life is so burger. 2nd semester is a lot less excruciatingly lonely than the 1st! But I hope something exciting happens in my life again soon. I can only draw for so long. Boooooooriiiiiinnngggg!

January 21st, 2025. 1:35AM ★— My first short entry aside from a small emoji description. I want to start writing real entries under these but I simply never have the time! It's 1 in the morning right now and I still have to shower. Alas, this will STILL have to be brief. I just wanted to talk about cpop a bit. A bit of background (although my reader(s?) already know), I've been getting into cpop since August 2024 and it's seriously taken over my Spotify as of late. I'm always looking for new songs that have a combination of good singing, good chord progressions, and good production (code for: songs I subjectively like)! I used to actively seek out more upbeat and electronic songs, but nowadays I'm getting really into the ballads. I've always loved a good ballad, but I'm seriously feeling the emotions right now! (I'm just gonna be copy pasting the names I don't actually know Chinese) One of my favourites is 小城女孩(Small Town Girl) by 祁紫檀(Qi Zitan) — I don't know if it really counts as a ballad but OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG! I've been listening to 我對不起我(Sorry For Myself) by 田馥甄(Hebe Tien) this month and its soooooo sad. The chords are a bit boring to me but it's soooo sad I can't help but listen. Same with 你今天要走(You Have To Leave Today) by 葉蒨文(Sally Yeh). It's the way she sings it and the violin that makes it SO SAD. I could keep listing songs but I'll hold back. The reason I'm writing all this right now at this very moment on this Tuesday morning is to express my love for 楊乃文(Naiwen Yang)'s 1997 album One. I think it's more rock than pop really, which makes me want to discover more Chinese rock (...crock...... ? ..) as well. But such a great album! My favourite songs are 星星堆滿天(Stars) and 不要說出去(Don't Say Go Out), especially the live versions! I'm so drawn to this album because when I listen to it, it gives me this immense feeling of leaving the past behind. Leaving past sadness in the past, leaving past happiness in the past, and the sheer melancholy of just moving forward. Wow! Well that's all I really wanted to say (since I've been thinking about it for DAYS (but have TRAPPED (in my COLLEGE ENCLOSURE))). I will probably come back... HOPEFULLY...In the future, and add some more details about the days of January! To #remember (especially today, with our TONKATSU JOURNEY). Let's count this as the first cute tiny baby step.

I designed a character for my walk cycle! They're wearing a looong scarf.

January 21st, 2025. 9:14PM ★—



This the character I'm doing for my walk cycle assignment! Like many students in the past, I was inspired by the current weather... Today I made some adjustments for the actual assignment (more 3 dimensional for animation, more 3/4 pose, different persepctive).



I think I might need to get rid of the looong scarf! Because it would be difficult to animate in that perspective and I don't really need it anyway. Also apparently on the assignment sheet it says the character needs to be 4-5 heads tall! #oops. But I don't want to change it now because it's so cute... I didn't get a chance to converse with my teacher about the design because I was sick last class (and also didn't have it drawn). Just gonna make an animation attempt tonight and show her tomorrow before it's due friday. Have never successfully animated something in my entire life but I want this one to be good and if it's not I will be SO DISTRAUGHT!
