Goal Results:
Bouldering: A+ I went bouldering frequently this past winter, and started up again this December. I showed easy improvement over the year, and continued to do some basic grip training during the warmer months
Ice Skating: - The weather never got cold enough in Jan-March, and the ice hasn't frozen thick enough this year. Technically I failed the goal, but it was 100% outside of my control
XC Skiing: B The weather didn't cooperate here, either. I did manage to go a couple of times, but it melted too quickly.
Cooking: A I learned a lot of new recipes over the 1st 1/2 of the year. The second half was largely practicing those recipes. Lots of failures (even when following the directions to a "t"), but some successes as well.
Learn Something New: D I finally got a guitar in the summer, but it took a backseat to other obligations pretty much all year. The few times I did try it things went horribly. I haven't quit on it yet (and picked it back up in the past week or so), but I definitely do as much as I had planned at the start
Card tricks: C+ There was one card trick I really wanted to learn where you someone move a card alongside the back of your fingers, but I could never find it. I did find a couple of other simpler tricks that I got down pretty well, so I won't complain in that regard, but I ultimately haven't even attempted what I really set out to learn.
Sign Language: B The original plan was to learn sign language, but I flipped it to learning Japanese when I decided to take a trip to Japan. Learning the sign language letters went well enough, but I'm hardly at a point of using it day-to-day. Same for Japanese. Things went well enough initially, but I kind of hit a wall. That said, I've been very consistent at spending at least a little bit of time to study up on it.
Vacation: A+ I took a trip to Japan in October and November and it was awesome! Some minor bumps here and there, but ultimately I did/saw nearly everything I planned on. 10/10 would go again.
FAL: F 983 in Fall 23; 5148 in Winter 23; 2215 Spring 24; Top 500 Fall 24 (most likely). Whatever. I'm going to be frank, I lost interest in studying up prior to FAL seasons. Also, MAL cancelled the Summer FAL, so I had one less opportunity to win it (not that I was going to). F for failure, but also F for I don't really give an F
Cats Pet: F My heart is broken. I pet (I believe) about 30 different cats, well short of my goal. I have done a disservice to the feline nation and will have to live with this shame forever
:0 i see. congrats on coming in 3rd in trivia! and hopefully you'll win the bracket contest! also, that's nice of you to cat sit for your parents! how's their cat doing? and i hope you and your friends have a nice, safe time bouldering together!
glad you're having a good time replaying breath of the wild! i don't have a nintendo switch, and i haven't ever really played a Zelda game. just wanted to let you know in case you thought i have a switch or have played a Zelda game.
are you thinking of checking out season 1 of wind breaker? and i see. have you watched the handmaid's tale? i've heard of it but haven't watched it. it's on hulu. also, hopefully you'll like the stuff you get with your apple gift card if you decide to use it!
you're quite active! i'm the opposite. lol and i don't have any season-specific hobbies that i can think of.
no problem! hopefully you'll like the audiobook! and i see. yeah, it is crucial to have money for essentials during the times we're living in. hopefully you're having a good time replaying breath of the wild, and hopefully you'll like tears of the kingdom!
and i see. i can help you if you want. for now, i'll just let you know how i feel about windbreaker season 2 and witch watch. for windbreaker season 2, because of how the overall spring 2025 anime season is looking, i think it'll consistently be at least somewhat popular throughout the general spring 2025 season. as for witch watch, i think it'll steadily grow in popularity as time passes and will at least be kind of popular by the time the general spring 2025 anime season starts coming to an end.
also, i see. you usually only watch anime in the winter? do you have other activities that you usually do during specific seasons?
will do! there's a preview of the audiobook on youtube if you wanna give it a listen. and i see. one of my friends is looking forward to xenoblade chronicles x: definitive edition. are you looking forward to it?
here are the anime i've chosen for fal (note: even though these are the anime that i've chosen, that doesn't necessarily mean that i'm going to watch them.):
active: mha: vigilantes, danjo no yuujou, witch watch, Shiunji family, the new Yaiba anime
bench: Takamine-san, kowloon generic romance, rock is a lady's modesty
are you thinking of checking out any spring 2025 anime btw?
are you thinking of checking it out after reading the synopsis? and i also don't use discord much, so i might choose a different platform.
also, i see. it looks like there's gonna be a timeskip in the recent pokémon anime (pokémon horizons) btw. are you thinking of checking out the anime? i watched it up to either episode 32 or 33, i think. it was alright imo.
as for the fantasy anime league, i'm gonna do it just to get the badge. what anime are you thinking of choosing?
i see. yeah, hopefully they didn't disband. and yeah, the my little pony fan base used to be quite something. i think it's different now. not sure, though.
i'm thinking of reading an american beauty by Shana Abé (not related to the movie american beauty, at least i don't think it is). i've heard of atlas shrugged. not sure what it's about, though. and i'm thinking of creating the group chat on discord. still not sure if i'll create one. i'll let you know if i decide to do it.
i see you changed your profile pic back. any reason(s)? by the way, just want to let you know that i sent you a private message.
glad you've been doing well! did you take any pics at the con? and there probably wasn't a wrestling event for safety reasons. or maybe no one thought of hosting one.
i've been alright. i've been watching and enjoying my little pony: friendship is magic and the mighty b. i've also been: trying to find a moment to start a specific book, thinking of starting a group chat with some of my friends (one of those friends being you), and worrying about someone.

It's because of those cute kitties on your profile that made me curious xD
