It's 4:50AM, and I just finished my replay of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I paced myself with this one, and it ended up taking me over a year to complete everything. It was a nice change of pace, and felt like a really nostalgic way to play.

I won't make this too long since I have a page specifically to talk about games, but so many moments in this game stuck with me. I remembered this being "my favourite game ever!" after I first played it, but I really didn't anticipate how well it would hold up today.

My characters were based off something meaningful to me, and I felt the emotional moments between them very deep in my heart. It really reminded me that whilst games with giant budgets and gorgeous graphics are great, they're not a necessity for telling a heartfelt story.

Something about stories like this really gets to me for some reason... I just wanted to remember the day I finished this.

Today I went with my friends to Stratford-upon-Avon as a pre-birthday treat! We started with big Tesco for treats, then my friend drove us all the way. The weather was so nice all day, and it felt just like Summertime!! There wasn't a cloud in the sky!

The butterfly farm itself was amazing! It was really hot inside, it felt like we'd been transported to a tropical island. Getting to see the huge butterflies all around was so much fun! We also saw lots of ants, caterpillars, stick insects and various other critters. It was the perfect place to visit~

Afterwards, we rode on the ferris wheel! It went around really fast, and it was a lot of fun getting to see the views from high up. We got ice cream and explored the town afterwards. We even saw Shakespeare's birthplace (which had some kind of Shakespeare cosplayer taking photos outside of it, lol.) Before the end, we walked alongside the river and played at the playground. They had a zipline!!

My friends gave me really nice cards for my birthday, and thoughtful gifts too. It made me really so, so happy. I hope I can always remember it! Today was one of the best days. Thank you!

Tonight I'm going to watch the Inazuma Eleven GO movie with my friends from work. They don't even know the series, but they asked to see it with me. It's a very warm feeling that I wanted to write down so I could remember it.

The first entry in my new journal! I might write up the old entries some time, so I don't lose them, but we'll see. Today I went to see the movie "Flow" in the cinema. I wasn't sure what to expect but I realised just how much I've always wanted an animal film without any dialogue or narration. It reminded me of Night on the Galactic Railroad with the repeating theme of being kind and self-sacrifice. I really loved it! Especially the more abstract moments. I know it's only April, but it's most definitely going to be my film of the year!

I've been feeling happy this week! Things have been nice. I was invited to a small server with some friends, and it's been a lot of fun. I feel very accepted. Part of this site has been to help express myself online, and it's definitely served that purpose so far. I hope things can continue to get better and better.
