I am amazingly calm right now, I actually don't have anyone in my energy right now, it feels... blissful. I am making my pickled onions right now, I am about the roast my pumpkin from halloween, I think I am going to plant the seeds outside since I can. I mean, it is very pleasant. I know I need to still do my homework and such but since I have 5 pages of todo lists, I really have spare time to do stuff right now.

I kind of don't even want to listen to any tarot card readers either right now. I am really enjoying this calm time, and I didn't expect that from a Venus in Pisces.

Well, I guess even though it would be more romantic love technically, I think it has become sort of a self love thing this year.

Well, I mean, I guess it could be all my loves and crushes that are making me want to be a better person. I mean, that was the video I made on Youtube was about. Basically, a good dynamic between a teacher and student is that, we can learn mutually from each other. Also having the maturity to understand that.

I really pose?

Pose?

I want to say poser but that can be negative at times, I wonder if there is the same sort of negative connotations to Japanese nominalizations of verbs?

Usotsuki?

mm yea, I guess it is.

Well a nominalization sort of creates a title, correct?

Vlad the Impaler

Balor the Destroyer

It is just a nominalization, but since it denotes the origin of the act, we would just its merit based on the action.

I don't even think there is a "result" to that nominalization? It is like a perpetual state.

Perfect past tense.

Has eaten.

I've decided to wait until tomorrow to smash the pumpkin outside. I don't want to ruin my table just to break it.

Talking to Nancy, I mentioned the romanization of the Japanese "shi" character.

In the past, I talked to a man who was 56 when I was 25, he used " si "

Now that I am thinking about it, it probably more revealed his alignment with Chinese than a previous romanization.... Bruh, are the Asians fighting over their white people? LMAO

Are we the labubu?

Because, yea, who was the creator of pin yin vs. romaji? They would be different people and would have had different accolades based of who they've worked with.

Hmm.. I am awake inthe morning now. I am finally waking up at a decent time. I decided to go to bed early last night despite the fact I had more energy.

I am on day 6 so, I am wondering how I am going to fill out my slots going forward.

I have today figured out so, I guess I just need to focus on that.

Either the hacker increased my computer's overall volume or my hearing has improved for some reason.

I am not worried about school right now, since I don't even think this is a facility that could help me progress in living successfully.

I mean, I know I will have to write more people there to finalize things officially, and I will but I have my current day filled out and I just need to follow through at this point. It took me a while to get back on track on my Todo list so, I need to really follow through for my own sake.

Also I think it is the whole thing of separating from my mom right now, that is sort of looming over me.
