Aight. Almost 2023.

Here's a complete synopsis of Fadran's year, from off the top of my head:

• 2022 started as 2020 part... three??? I swear nothing has ever happened since then.
• 
  • The scrollover text says "I'm hoping 2022 is relatively normal because I don't know what symbol comes after the asterisk and the dagger."
• Was it this year I went to TABC with Tesh? I think it was. That was fun.
• It was also this year that I got a job working at Coldstone. That was awful. Remind me never to work customer service, and defintely remind me never to work in the food industry.
  • I quit that job. It sucked.
• And then after that I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL. I mean, how friggin crazy is that? I wasn't valedectorian or anywhere near that kind of thing, but I got through it.
  • And now I'm going to college soon??? Yeesh man. I don't understand how I got this far on my two pathetic little legs and my two pathetic little brain cells.
• Anyways, then I got really depressed again. And for an extended period of time. Several months I was just doing nothing and getting nothing done, and honestly it was just the worst. I didn't read, I didn't write, I didn't work - I just sat at the computer and vegged - for months. It got really bad, actually, until I finally convinced myself to get another job.
• Enter my job at Target. It was... actually okay! Suddenly I was keeping busy and getting stuff done - and getting paid some actual monee for it! I have a good stack of savings for college now.
• I quit that somewhat recently for... other reasons. It's probably not a good thing for me to talk about (for other peoples' privacy), but some stuff happened recently and I've been REALLY depressed. I might've made another status update about it, but... probably not. Suffice it to say that I've was really struggling up until recently just every day constantly.
• Honestly I'm kind of worried about college now. I don't know what kind of scud is going to go down or if I'll be able to deal with it. Support for the future would be appreciated.
• Buuuuuuuut for now I'm fine! I'm on vacation in California visiting family. It's been pretty relaxing so far, 'cause we're not going hours out of our way to visit every single second cousin my dad met once at a Denny's eighty years ago like we did last time we visited; just hanging out with grandparents and cousins and such. I'll be leaving for college just a couple days after we get back.
• Uhh... what're some other things that happened...
• Stuff I wrote:
  • A short story about railroad pirates - 6/10 (Eh)
  • Started a space opera novel - 9/10 (Pretty good so far)
  • Started redrafting the Iconar Collective and even finished the first act - 8/10 (Not as good but whatever)
  • Some other things?
• Stuff I tried:
  • Learning to program (gave up)
  • Learning to draw (getting better)
  • Eat healthier (doing okay?)
• Stuff I failed:
  • Being a good person (not a joke)
• I haven't actually finished reading The Lost Metal yet. I should probably get on that; dunno how much time I'll have in college.
• IF YOU'RE IN ARCHIPELAGO OR WHITE IRON THEN PLZ GO REPLY TO MY THINGS I LITERALLY LIVE AND BREATH RPS
• And then we get to today.
• We really need to push New Year's Eve back to February.
  • Pros:
    • We fix the July/August problem to make September, October, November, and December actually be months 7, 8, 9, and 10
    • December becomes a lot less busy
    • February finally gets a thing besides being short
    • Leap days become a lot easier
    • Every programmer on the face of the planet has to fix everything they've ever made lest the digital world fall to chaos
  • Cons:
    • None
• Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
• Don't die
