It's been a pretty long time since I've updated this damn thing.

First things first, ******** Ben. What a POS. I haven't talked to him since... March? Or so?

My store at Lakeshore closed down and I ended up migrating to Fisher, where I got a brand new bunch of coworkers. Among them was a guy named Alex, who I dated for a very brief period of time. I found him, and still find him, to be very attractive, but... his personality just wasn't for me and I was lacking romantic feelings for him, so I broke up with him. I don't regret it, but it's a shame because I do feel very lonely, but I just can't date someone who I don't have any feelings for... I didn't feel any compulsion to be affectionate or intimate with him.

After Ben found out from Dahlia's boyfriend -- who he had class with in a hilarious twist of fate -- that I had broken up with my boyfriend, he honest to god texted me to try to get me to meet up with him. Can you believe the gall? After everything he put me through, he really thought I'd still want to get involved with that s**t. I pretty much told him to ******** off, I am way the hell over that guy.

Anyways.... aside from that, my love life has been uneventful. I have a hard time meeting or becoming interested in anyone. I've had a few people express interest in me, it's just..... I don't feel the same way. Notably a coworker I've become really good friends with recently confessed to me, but I only see him platonically. Thankfully he was cool with it and told me he valued our friendship as it was, which made me happy. Despite working together soon after he told me his feelings, there was no awkwardness at all.

I love 2D boys as usual and tend to live vicariously through that. Persona takes up a huge chunk of my interest these days, and I loved The Royal. What an excellent series, it's terrible I took so long to get into it, but we got here in the end. I've also been back to playing Monster Hunter World, but I pretty much just play alone for the most part. I don't know why I always just play games by myself.

Hmmm.. other than that, not much to talk about. COVID is in full swing and ruining everyone's summer. It's really hot. My skin finally looks and feels great thanks to a combination of persistent and effective skincare and antibiotics, but I can't even go out and do anything anyways. My depression is being effectively kept in check by medication, which is a huge relief. Percy is as destructive yet adorable as usual, having recently spilled CREAM SODA all over my carpet I'm still trying to get out.

I was supposed to go to Japan in the spring but it got ruined by COVID. I still have a ticket on hold I can use later, but god knows when it'll be safe to go. I was really, really looking forwards to that too. I'll just save up a bit more money so when I eventually get to go I'll be able to do as many fun things as possible.
