Time waits for no one. ↑(　ﾟдﾟ)ハｧ？ 2024-11-12: Turns out, the cold is sleepiness’s best repellant. With me being me, I slept at 1:30AM and managed to net a good four hours of sleep. That meant that of course I’d be sleepy during my 2nd period, since that’s how it always is after nutrition break for whatever reason. I fell asleep during the note taking, but not when we were watching that Bill Nye video. Why? Because I took off my jacket. Inside the fabric of my black jacket, it’s warm. Like a mother’s embrace to a crying child at her bedroom door, sobbing about a nightmare as they cry into her chest. But leaving that comfort, leaving the safety of warmth the jacket provides, exposes you to the biting, unforgiving cold of the cooled classroom. It wakes you up! The cold, the discomfort, it snaps you into focus for a while. Because it’s uncomfortable, not suitable for a quick snooze. It makes sense. I stayed awake the rest of the class after taking my jacket off. 2024-11-9: I originally wanted this to be a log of how Reverie Bodega was going along. But since I can’t finish stories often, what’s the harm in turning this into a blog until I get to making my actual blog, on my site? Not a bad idea, right? I’m tired, for one. Yeah, nothing interesting going on today. I need to work on my site. I’ve got the urge to edit my index again. I notice that… I do this practically every week. Yikes. I remember a friend or mutual of mine saying something about constantly revising their site layout. They called it Chronic Layout Disease. They said it sucked. I told them, it wasn’t a disease to be feared, but a blessing to be celebrated. They told me, it’s bad because it tells them they can’t make anything good. I don’t see it so negatively, surprisingly enough. Sure it’s a burden but it’s also a blessing. It means you’re improving yourself. You’re growing, and finding ways to improve upon something already good. Mastery, right? We’re always growing and changing, I suppose the constant revision of an index reflects how we do. 2024-11-7: I thought of some things for reverie bodega but I don’t have so much. Like three characters and the basic summary. I need to think of better character stereotypes/molds that aren’t basically “new guy, cool guy, cold-ass fucker” cause that’s almost like OK KO and the idea is already too similar. What if it was a buncha silly trouble makers? Possibly. I’m already like that, and so are my friends. But my main friends are already drifting apart from me again. So it won’t be a kinda story with characters based on my IRLs??? That’s A-OK. Then I’ll just take inspiration from my favorite characters!! For the rival thing I considered basing him off my ex. But that’s stupid. So maybe their relationship— the one between the rival and the main characters, would be something like Bass and MegaMan? MegaMan and Bass… the game was cool I think (never played it cause all mega man games are really hard for me.. I’m more of a Gunvolt guy you know) Aaaah.. 2024-11-5 (After creation of the “call it reverie bodega” list): So, I MIGHT be onto something. Reverie Bodega, your one-stop shop for everything… everything! The extreme convenience store for anyone and everyone’s needs! And it’s akin to what you think of when you think of OK KO Let’s Be Heroes (rest that show’s poor soul smh). Like a buncha teens manning a convenience store but instead if it being a bunch of fighters who shop there, right? It’s like a… convenience store for robots… or something. I was thinking more of like “convenience store but make it weapons and cool doodads and gadgetsTHE MICRO CENTER? I LOVE THEMICRO CENTER)” but robots works too. Either or, or maybe both. ANYWAYS yes no matter what, the ones working there will be teenagers. Because I am a teenager. And I will be in this thing, since Reverie Bodega is a kind of piece I think… should be a fun little thing I can write scenarios with, with me in them! It’s like the entirety of Axel Catalog but me-centric. I might be grilling. Truuuuuust me.
