Today is the Autumn Equinox! I was able to celebrate with two candles, incense, and an apple. My kittens fell asleep as I worked on my incantation, and soon after this, I got back into working on my site. Today I finished the index, my about, and this journal! On january 1st 2023 i decided to make a bigger effort into witchcraft, since i always left it aside in favour of making illustrations. I'm happy to say that i've been doing witchcraft much more than last year.

Today is Halloween and also my birthday!!! My favorite day of the year. All of my friends sent me nice messages, and I spent three days playing animal crossing with a good friend of mine due to technical difficulties.The Halloween party was amazing!! I went all out with the decorations, early in the month I prepared a list of groceries we would need for the party and we went to get them with a lot of time to spare! I also spent the entire month watching spooky movies, cartoons, and baking! It was the best. I also did a meditation for Samhain and and recieved my little angels for día de muertos in my house. I put up my ofrenda and made a flower path, and I lit the candles the night of the 31st because that is the first night the souls of the departed start visiting us
Today is the Winter Solstice! Which is to say, Yule! I got all dressed up with my astronomy shirt and lit two candles, worked on my journal and used gold as the main colour, and did a meditation and spell to channel the energy of rebirth and new beginnings that the solstice is giving out with the return of the Sun. The tarot card of today is knight of pentacles, which is interesting.

Today's New Year's Eve!! As usual I have no hopes or dreams of anything getting better and in fact i'm pretty hopeless about life but i'm happy about my cats. The new years party was super cool and fun. I looked extremely hot and I got glowsticks and we did the 12 grapes thing (though not by second) which was lots of fun!!! The dinner was amazing.

Today is monday, the first day of the week, and also the first day of the year! All my life my new years resolutions have been to get better at drawing, and that's still the case but this year i'm adding a new one, I really hope to finish my zine by the end of this year...perhaps december? And I'm thinking that I might finish this site around february but i'm not too sure. I might get a new planner soon! Not the little prince one I saw but a pretty cool one still!!

Tonight the Wolf Moon arrives. During the past few weeks i'd been feeling deeply disconnected with life as a result of certain events with my ex best friend. It is extremely unsettling to me that all this has come to pass, and i'm not really mourning the loss of the friendship anymore because i already did that but there is something else about this, something strange and unreal, and yet, familiar. I lit some incense and meditaded; the full moon is very beautiful and it is lighting up everything outside.
February 11th 2024 1:00PM
Took a while to finally do my february reading but i smoked a bit and finally took two cards from my deck. I got The Moon and the knight of wands...I think I know exactly what my deck is telling me. Also I'm extremely late on the Imbolc celebration but I'm going to do it anyway.

Today is Valentine's Day!! One of my two favourite
holidays. It has been a very long time since I crush on anyone, and I have never had the
opportunity to confess to someone on this day, but I have had a crush on my friend Hallow for a
while, and I made a love letter for them & confessed to them...and they like me back!!! Where I
live valentine's day is by default for platonic love too, so I gave my friends valentine's day
cards as well and they all loved them which made me very happy! Plus I baked heart shaped
cookies. It was a beautiful day ♡♡♡

I went to a festival to the cultural center near me to see the total solar eclipse, it was
amazing; unfortunately it was really hot but I had a huge umbrella as well as food and cold
juice so it was still really awesome. I bought a silver star necklace and a turqoise necklace, I
love them a lot!!! I enchanted them with sun and moon energy! I never thought I'd get the chance
to experience something like this but it was amazing. It felt even more special because I was
talking to my wife the entire time while I saw it.

As usual it's extremely hot during the "spring" months, I cannot wait for our rain season. I thought today would suck but it was okay, we ate sushi and had a great time and I didn't get to have much cake which I'm disappointed about but it was delicious from what little I got to eat. My mom made it and its extremely good. I also did some spring cleaning

Today is the summer solstice!! I prepared some things to be able to celebrate, since I don't have much money I can't do much for it but I lit some candles and incense. I did not go to pride this year but I really really enjoyed it last year and I think I'm still fatigued from it but its ok. I think this summer will be awesome, and I've been preparing myself for artfight during july!
August 1st 2024 10:23AM
Artfight is over!! I made way less drawings than last year but same quality, I'm really happy with them all. I'm also officially super ready for halloween!!! I've been thinking about it a lot and hoping I get time to make a beautiful spooky landscape Illustration this year. I am also already thinking of what to draw for my wife on their birthday! Our birthdays are very close together-well, sort of, there are a few weeks of difference. I'm going to enjoy autumn to the fullest.
September 21th 2024 11:25AM
Today my friend announced his decision of sharing her discord server with me!!! I'm very excited! and also a bit nervous!! My beautiful gf has been very supportive as usual ♡. I am also getting ready for mabon as it starts today! The autumn equinox is here and as always I'm extremely excited about it. I have my altar set and I'm going to do some meditations. I'm getting some cider and pastries to celebrate and I am also going to start decorating for Halloween :3

Today was really good! A certain insufferable person was away all day today so i was
able to enjoy my birthday!!!! I had a halloween party and it was super fun. I got to do
everything I wanted without interruptions! My beautiful femme boyfriend got me So Many Gifts
I'm so surprised and happy about it, I wasn't expecting so many things!!! I had some
breakfast and then watched gravity falls with my beautiful friend night and my brother, and then
I spent all
afternoon talking and having snacks. When it got dark I lit all my jack o' lanterns and fairy
lights, we took a lot of pictures and played spooky muuusiiic! it was awesome! we had pizza for
dinner and talked about costumes and our favorite things about Halloween. I also had a
meditation for Samhain. During all of october I worked hard on making a Halloween album so that
I didn't have to worry too much about taking pictures today and I'm glad I did!! I also finally
have a spooky sweater

In december 31st of last year I had a bad time because I couldn't sleep all night and due to insomnia and other things this continued on to february; and not being able to sell anything to get essentials put me in an even worse state; and this month I've been pretty absent. I've been having an extremely bad time but my beautiful wife and some friends are extremely supportive so I'm very thankful and appreciative.
I
think so much about
music all the time. It
makes me experience so much; i think i feel it in my bones and in my soul, it runs through my veins
and is one of the things that gives me life. I really would like to make my own music, I have to
make time to learn the piano. Also I'm close to finally finishing my side project of putting custom
icons with art made by me on all of my playlists!!!

I bought the tickets last tuesday and today I'm going to the theater to watch the annicersary showing of pride and prejudice 2005!!!! I'm so so so excited, It is one of my favorite movies ever (and one of my favorite books too) but I did not get to see it on theaters originally. I wish my wife was here so we could go together!!!
June 27th 2025 1:12PM
I went to the theater for a dance festival and watched various different dance numbers, one of which my mom was presenting and it was really cool i really liked it, and the theater is very beautiful...
Last weekend, I went to visit my sister and went to her show, she was DJing and it was pretty cool I liked it a lot, this weekend its pride but i don't think i have it in me to go and i'm pretty disappointed about that...but! today i took my first polaroids! i'm very proud of them
April 1st 2026
I've been pretty busy updating this site and that's why I haven't written more! I also have a newsletter for my friends and I'm very excited. I can't believe I let an entire go by, but since I don't have a physical journal anymore and I don't have money to buy another, I guess I'll be updating this a bit more!
??? 2026
As it turns out I am going through extreme suffering with sorrow and grief. I will continue to journal for my own sanity but I don't have anything to write and will likely not write anything for a long time.

Pride and Prejudice (2005):
Pride and Prejudice 2005 closely follows the novel of Jane Austen of the same name. The Bennets are a family of five daughters, an uninterested father, and an over the top mother only concerned of marrying them, for back then women weren’t allowed to inherit a state.
The novel has a parody and satirical tone, using irony to highlight the ridiculous way in which women are portrayed in romanticism, especially in books by men of course. Because of this, I think pride and prejudice lends itself to the romantic comedy genre well, if done in a thoughtful manner. P&P 2005 definitely studies its characters closely, each of the sisters representing different problems and facets of the problem of marriage and Austen’s thoughts about it.
I never appreciate a dead wife backstory, so I disliked that from the intro, however the music and shots were immediately eye-catching. The intro is extremely beautiful, the storyboard, design, order of shots, timing, and synchronization with the music is amazing. As it started I could easily tell that the photography and cinematography were outstanding.
The main characters, Elizabeth and Darcy, are very interesting and well-rounded. In the short time that a film has to explore an arc and intense changes in a character over a long period of time, they were able to demonstrate their ability to grow from their experiences with each other. A main theme in both versions is learning to be wrong, being capable of accepting that you can be wrong, and being receptive to what to do to become better, for yourself and for others as well.
The music and setting are incredibly beautiful. Dario Marianelli’s soundtrack was made in such a way that it sounds like the music the characters could be listened to and achieved very perfectly, the diegetic effect is very well done, evidenced by how the first song we hear transforms into a piece one of the characters is playing. The wardrobe is one of my favorites in movies, its very beautiful, colorful, and extremely well thought out, I can tell each character reflects their personality and disposition with their clothes; Darcy is the one who undergoes the biggest transformation, wearing extremely tight uncomfortable clothes at first and ending with loose and soft garments. The wardrobe isn’t accurate to the time period and I think it worked very much in their favor.
But most of all I think my favorite thing about this movie is the chemistry between them. It is extremely charged, intense, and they are very funny and endearing to me.

🎃 Pending... 🎃
Videogayme...
I looove videogames, ever since I was a little kid i have always enjoyed them, as mentioned in
my
web history page, the first games I ever played were these black and neon orange/green
labyrinths
for class in kindergarten; it was my favorite class!
Currently Playing:
Adventure....!
I love many types of games but broadly, some of my favorite types are
story driven, character driven, action, adventure, mystery, cute lifesim (sick of farm fames tho.),
role-playing, puzzles, horrot, meta, dating sim, visual novels, and probably lots more!
There's a game I want to make but with all my hard work for my webcomic I've seldom found the time, hopefully soon though! I would like it to be a dating sim, not just because it is easier to make but also because I'm interested in dating sims and I think my idea would be fun to play.
Some of my Faves:
Witchcraft
I am a celestial witch. I have had an interest in the science of astronomy since I was young, and I developed an interest in witchcraft in 2017. I am not a person of faith exactly, or, not like faith is usually understood. I don’t believe in anything in particular but I feel very connected to all plants and all animals and I think all life is sacred and worthy of respect.
The Moon
The phases of the Moon inspire me when doing my witchcraft. Each different phase helps me meditate on different things but I always use these moments for introspection and reflection. Depending on how bright it is, the dimmer or brighter the stars are, and on meteor showers, the shooting stars will be more easily spotted with the naked eye on a new moon!

Tarot
I connect to these tarot cards spiritually; other honorable mentions are the ten of swords and the emperor
One time i pulled Death during the Autumn Equinox which was so really cool. Death, who is associated to change, during a time when summer becomes autumn and the moon and the sun are up in the sky for the same amount of time...it felt particuarly special!
Halloween
>All Hallow's
Eve, my favorite
holiday. This is the
time of the year when
the veil between the afterlife and the physical world is the thinnest, making it easier to communicate
with
those who have departed this world, letting us see their presence even more. It is a time to celebrate
their
lives, I believe that our loved ones who are now in the stars celebrate along with us.
