In... China or something?
No wait... that was a month ago.
Hm... Well, Happy New Year on Jupiter on something.
How are you doing? Addressing the ones of my watchers that either still uses this site or doesn't have Journal notifications off. Are you doing good? Are you eating your vegetables? Good, because if you eat someone else's, we're going to need to have a talk. I've had MORE than enough talks lately, so don't make me have another one, because I will be SUPER grumpy.
So keep to your own vegetables.

So uh... Let's see. What's happened since I was here last?
America got a new president. A questionable one, but a president, nonetheless. They also had a gigantic hurricane.
Something about North Korea. Something about Elon Musk being stupid... and some other stuff.
To be honest, I don't keep up with the news very well. Too much happening.
Much easier keeping track what's been happening on a smaller scale. Like, what I've been doing over the past few years.
A bit selfish maybe, but it's easier to keep track of things that you have actually experienced yourself, rather than things heard from other places.
That said, I spent most of 2017 trying to set up a new apartment, since I "moved out" from my parents in late 2016 and stayed with a friend for a few months. Then I started going to school in the middle of all that to finish some unfinished grades. It should go a lot better than it does, but y'know. Have a lot of other stuff to keep track of. No one ever just has ONE thing to keep track of.
2018 was... a year. There was an election held here in Sweden, as well. A lot of conflict over the results, meaning we kinda didn't have a government for a while. I think they've settled that now, though. I at least hope so. They've been acting kinda silly in later years, so they better have shaped up! Someone will have to fill me in on that, because I don't keep track of that either.
Oh yeah, my computer also broke in October 2016, meaning I'm currently on a very old, borrowed MacBook. Gotta say, I'm not a very big fan of Macs. Even now after using one for a couple of years, almost. Aesthetically, it looks kinda nice, but there are a lot of functionalities that I feel it lacks. Like a simple in-built drawing program (Man, I miss MS Paint), an easy-to-access task manager. I mean... it's relatively easy to access, but I miss the Windows one.
One thing it has that I'm actually kinda happy about though, is GarageBand. Far from the best music-making program, but hey. I'm the kinda guy who used MS Paint for his drawings for several years!
Who needs super-realistic and well-made instruments when the low-budget synthetic feel is what you're looking for?
Speaking of art, though. I have been doing some drawings during my time away. At least, when I've had both time and motiv... Okay, that's a lie. I've done it when I've had motivation, but the time aspect? Yeah, I've gotten late quite a bunch due to being caught up in drawing something. At least the motivation is there, right?
Yeeeeeeah, getting late isn't a good thing, but you don't want to lose motivation when you've FINALLY gotten a spark of it! So don't look at me like that! You've probably done the same DOZENS of times!
To show you it was worth it, I'm going to upload some of the stuff I've drawn and you can decide for yourself!
YEAH! Take that!
Can't promise I'll be very active after the fact; my schedule is all over the place.
But we'll see. The future has a habit of surprising you~
Until then, keep to your own vegetables! Have a good New Jupiter-year!
Honk!
