life update + some thoughts about virtual, cute animals

 so, i've been playing a lot of animal crossing: new leaf. i actually consider the hours i've racked up on this game recently as the most frequent form of social contact i've had in a while, because frankly, my family doesn't count at all. i went through something...tragic? traumatic? something with the prefix tra very recently. it was the fastest dissolution i've ever seen occur with my own two eyes. it was the first time in a very long time where i was forced to look at myself in the mirror and consider who i really was, even if my previous perceptions had gotten me by so far. i haven't come up with a conclusion yet, by the way. i think the stress of everything materialized itself into something tangible, real, and never to be ignored by my body. i got pretty sick and haven't quite recovered from it yet. i imagine it to look a lot like a koffing or a weezing pokemon, all gross and evil and purple and swirling around my insides. here's to hoping for hea...
