![A bipedal brown insect-person with large eyes, four arms, and chitinous plating stands mid-twirl while holding three trays full of beer mugs and a single mug in her remaining hand. She is wearing a green dirndl with a bow on one antenna and seems to be smiling.

![The same image from before, but in different colors. This insect barmaid is mostly green in a blue, red, and white dirndl.

The final creative commons illustration of 2023 - a very peculiar barmaid. Fun fact, I drew her while I was in Germany, so... that may explain the dress.

Dude, what is up with people today?
I got elbowed (he went out of his way to do it) and clapped at (while wearing headphones and reading a book; I ignored him) in public today. Go back to kindergarten! Learn how to play with others! >:U

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole moving to another country and learning a new language thing! Honestly kinda surprised it took this long to hit, but also not that surprised. I tend to work on an emotional delay.
Yeah I know that's probably not healthy. But like my emotions: problem for later.

Two days into the new German course.
HOLY fuck it's like night and day. So much more organized, much better quality lessons, using better books, assigning a REASONABLE amount of homework. I am fucking relieved.
C1 German here I come.

Y'know... I'm going into computer science. Wouldn't hurt to make and maintain my own site. I have heard domains can be a bit expensive though.

Still worldbuilding behind the scenes. I have a much better grasp on the magic system now that I've let it marinate for a moment.

I was a teen. We were almost homeless from that crash. Hell, I think living out of a motel for two weeks IS homeless.
We went from upper middle class to below the poverty line. The 2008 recession WAS that bad.

Listening to Gen Z folks talk about how the 2008 recession wasn't that bad, it was just the stock market and housing market, but everything else was fine...
I basically worked as a long-term temp for *9* years because that was the only job I could get, with a master's degree.

WIP base I'm doing in survival mode. I have access to commands, but it's just not as rewarding for me to build in creative. The most I've been doing is setting the time to day because it's a server without any plugins.

Minecraft has me in a chokehold.

Got a few irons out of the fire. Kinda weird applying for university again, but hey, never too late to get that degree you've always wanted!
I have always found the university application process to be incredibly strange. The process is only stranger when you're applying as a foreigner.

I build up muscle tone pretty quickly! However, I am very bad about remembering to work out regularly unless it's interesting exercise, and the interesting stuff is expensive. Might get back into rock climbing one day. Or martial arts. I need money for those.
