the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[eden;]

i compile my handwritten notes into a single google doc, it's more convenient to look through that way (and the actual compiling is pretty good studying as well)

^ dostoevsky like from bungo stray dogs??? (/j, sorry :P it's always a little amusing when i remember that that show's characters are named after famous authors). anyway it's cool that you're enjoying his work; i read crime and punishment last year for a friend and i also enjoyed it! a lot of his passages are really... ah, hallucinatory, rhythmic, it's great
> i cannot believe i was assigned a paper due at 4 pm friday, not midnight. how unethical
v thoughts on mechanical keyboards? (or other fancy customized desk setups)

[vi‎ ‎]

if u know something has to be done, always start early
^ yikes... hopefully these 18 weeks go by fast for u
> hmmmmmmkmmmmm perhaps im doing a bit of a thunk.... some pondering if you will
v what's a question you just can't answer?

[skyline]

anything like, "where do you see yourself in 10 years" because i genuinely do not know. i live my life so sporadically i feel completely unpredictable. i mean everything is unpredictable but. i haven't got a clear answer for anything regarding what my future will truly be like, and sometimes it scares me. because sure, i have an ideal view of it. who doesn't, if we're being genuine, i could not give you any clue. to be completely honest sometimes i feel like a little kid being asked what they want to be when they grow up, and that should not be the case for someone my age. like i'm not that old, but yk what i mean. guess it's kind of my fault though, i need to get over my fear of change and choose a path i want to work towards, because if i don't do it soon it just makes for that much longer dealing with the uncertainty.
sorry that turned into some weird deep partial rant. i think about it all too much 💀

^ reflecting.... possibly even cogitating.
> i have been so forgetful lately it's almost concerning. i had a cup of spicy ramen right before i briefly left my house today and i couldn't figure out why i had a spicy taste in my mouth in the car.
v what's something you think about like, a lot

[viles]

• chicken smoothie. although. idk. maybe i don't think about it that much? i check it daily but idk if i think about it consistently enough for the amount to qualify as a lot. i'm sort of a Thoughtless person, i guess? idk. hmmmm i suppose that A Lot of Thoughts about one subject is relative to the person who is thinking those thoughts,, i just. idk if it's a lot for me JSKDFHFKS or even if i have Thoughts about cs all that much. or even like...Many Thoughts:tm: at all?? i'm overthinking this answer though!!! possibly. idek if its possible to overthink something. /hj
  
  ^ also been forgetful lately. i don't know how i should respond to that /neu
  > the fact that magic is not spelled with a 'j' is a crime. like majic even looks better??? shame on you, letter 'g', shame -_-
  v show me an image you like.

[Espresso. ༺]

This young Soyot girl from Southern Siberia, Sarana Zhambylovna Bambagaeva, and her dog Tuzik and this lovely young girl who's name I sadly couldn't find from Chuvashia in our folk clothing. I absolutely love Aleksander Khimushin's work travelling and photographing indigenous cultures from around the world, many of the people he photographs are from my own cultures or are from a culture similar to mine and I see a lot of myself in his art. It's very clear to me that he, as an outsider, has a great love and passion for the cultures he chooses to share with the world, and I really appreciate that.

^ YES I AGREE! English is a nonsensical language !!! I don't understand it at all :( I think it looks better too, at the very least it makes more sense. It's easier for me to read Cyrillic because once you know what every sound makes you know how to pronounce everything. English is.. not at all like that, there's so many arbitrary rules about when to use what letters and how they sound. Terrible. 0/10 would not learn again /j

> FALL OUT BOY IS RELEASING A NEW ALBUM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS AND IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MANIA I'M SO HAPPY OMGGGG THEY RELEASED A SINGLE AND??? IT SLAPS??? I OUTGREW MY EMO/POP PUNK PHASE AGES AGO AND NOW I AM A ADULT WITH REFINED AND DIVERSE TASTE IN GOTHIC ROCK AND POST PUNK BUT I INSTANTLY REVERT TO BEING 12 AGAIN WHEN ONE OF MY FAVE EMO BANDS RELEASES SOMETHING. THIS IS THE MCR TOUR ALL OVER AGAIN. also edit: I actually don't hate Mania!! I feel like it's lyrical content is actually kind of catchy sometimes, but I think it's just.. an okay album. It's a little mediocre and I think the electronic switch is kind of fun, I just wish that it was supplemented with like, yknow, more rock music? I don't think it's bad, I just don't think it's very interesting or fun to listen to for more than 5 minutes and on its own it's really not all that bad! I don't even dislike the idea of them trying a new genre, it just didn't really sound like Fall Out Boy but electronic and more like, a generic edgy electronic band and I would've been sorely disappointed if we got another album like that. Although if they had continued using electronica and rock and improved upon the mediocrity of Mania I wouldn't have minded that at all!! I kind of wish that they did because it really feels like a diamond in the rough to me.

v WHAT IS AN ALBUM YOU ARE/WERE VERY EXCITED FOR AND ALSO DID YOU HAVE ANY EMBARRASING PHASES AS A YOUNG CHILD (THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO SHARE) IF NOT TELL ME ABOUT A PHASE YOU WANTED TO HAVE AS A KID BUT ARE GLAD YOU DID NOT HAVE

[Chevalier]

I adore Stupeflip's 'The Hypnoflip Invasion' a bit too much. I don't think I really had any phases as a kid. A lot of what I liked I latched onto a lot and still enjoy today (which was mostly reading, writing, and English Literature). Unless you count playing with toys and stuff as a phase, which I grew out of, obviously. I guess the most embarrassing thing was when I was a kid me and my friends liked to roleplay as animals and stuff, but I don't consider it embarrassing myself; it was just kids being kids.
^ Honestly, it's very nice that you can enjoy something you loved as a kid! As someone who was a fan of Hozier (and now listens to their old albums only) I kind of understand how their newest stuff is, kind of mediocre with only a little bit of funk left. Perhaps this kind of single will bring some hope for the kind of album you're looking for!
> I slept like a log last night. I could've slept for eternity. I had to wake up for a class, but I enjoy it so it doesn't really feel like a chore. That's a nice change from college (end of highschool for the folks across the pond). I interrupt this train of thought to remember There's a book I need to preorder!! Petit Pied's new comic book is coming out soon, I love his little strips on Twitter. It'll be nice to have it in a book form.
v Are you looking forward to anything releasing this year?

[marciplier]

not that i can think of off the top of my head honestly.
^ i hope you enjoy the book and i relate. i slept so good last night i did not want to wake up
> i dont have much peppermint bark left :( gotta savor it while i have it
v favorite seasonal treat?

[Winstalgia]

Candy canes!

^ enjoy the rest of it, peppermint bark is so good!
> I feel even more tired now than before I went to bed.
v Do you have a favorite cup you use?

[rover]

:D nope

^ any pronouns just like my bestie • hi!!!! lovely to see u again
> exam time
v what would your evil version (villain) be like. u can be creative with this!

[emiistar]

YES! i just got a new mug from one of my favorite vintage stores in the city (it's not vintage itself but it has the stores logo so im pleased) and atm i'm choosing it over everything else, so cute

hmmmm. this is such a fun question but i had a really close friend in middle school who turned out to be like super evil to me and did all kinds of terrible stuff LMAO but we had the same birthday so now i refer to her as kind of the evil version of me when i'm talking about the whole thing HAH so i guess it would just be her!

^ tired even though they slept - can totally relate :( hope youre able to get some rest today! has an exam today - OOO goodluck!!
> wicked hungover in PR class.... oh boy i need food
v what's an interesting quirk or habit of yours?
