Helloooooo.

In the time since I last posted, by which I mean in the journal-ing capacity and not just Arashi's faces (though they are worth a million posts and all of my time ♥) I have:

Something I've always really loved about you is your positivity -- which isn't to say that you aren't "allowed" to be negative or sad or stressed or whatnot, because that's totally welcome and I don't want you to feel guilty about it when it happens -- but the fact that you always try to focus on positive things and work on making yourself feel good makes me feel good.

I'm not sure where that came from, but there you have it. ♥ Also gimme your LINE INFOOO

[nicefinalbeam]

Ah, that really makes me happy to hear! Really, truly it does. ♥

Oh! On LINE I think you can find me by the userid nicefinalbeam! :D

I literally had to go on Wikipedia and figure out what LINE is. I feel so old. You kids and your apps. I use my Instagram to take pictures of my cats so...

Can you give me an overview of why you use it and why you like it? I don't even text much so I'm probs not their target audience hahaha

[nicefinalbeam]

Ahaha, I just recently got Instagram. I don't share pictures all that often, but it's nice. :D In fact, most of what I do on my phone is super recent. I am also behind the times~

The reason I like LINE is because it's essentially text messaging but you can do it without the fees and reach people in foreign countries. So all the friends I could never really text before, I can reach with it. And you get these cute "stickers" that you can send too and I just like being able to exchange cute things. I spent 2 dollars on a bunch of rilakkuma ones and it makes me happy. LOL.

If you don't like texting much, it's probably not all that important you get it, but it's a nice option to have. Especially because half the time my conversations are just "HAVE A NICE DAYYY" with a smiley and I don't require much in-depth discussion beyond that :D

[astrangerenters]

I don't know if it's a like/dislike thing with texting so much as I don't have a lot of friends?? Hahaha I usually communicate via Gmail and I don't even check my phone during work and then I play with it mostly on the train to play my Simpsons game. So every time there's an article about kids averaging monthly text messages in the thousands I wonder how it's possible when I send maybe 20 LOL!

But if you'd like to be friends on Instagram, I'm astrangerenters there too. I'm not really into the 'document everything' kind of lifestyle so don't expect much but I do 'like' other people's posts :)

I guess the majority of my social networking is Tumblr now and even that is maybe 3-4 reblogs a day hahahaha. I'm in my bubble or just talking to work people and I'm not connected with them outside of work.

[nicefinalbeam]

I use my phone a lot more than I used to, especially because a lot of friends I made in fandom now use things like twitter and instagram and what have you. But I've always been a bit chatty, so text messaging a lot is not too difficult for me XD

I added you on instagram. I thiiiink I'm aheartquake? Yeah? I think so. :D

I don't reblog much either. But I have seen yours! I can understand the bubble thing. My daily routine is mostly the same, but. ♥ Wherever you are around the internet, I will happily attach myself to you as a friend. :D

[phrenk]

I'm happy to hear you've had a productive summer! All of these good things sound like good things, to be redundant but also happy for you. ♥ It sounds like you've made some progress of a kind that opens up your future in such a hopeful way. ♥

(I just paid a whole bunch on my car, too, so fingers crossed our cars are shored up for a while!!)

[nicefinalbeam]

Thank you! I really do hope it's going to improve my life little by little. I'm recognizing now that I might not be the type of person who can drastically change myself with a short span of time, but if I take the right steps, eventually I'm going to get where I want to be. :D

*crosses fingers* I know what a pain that can be! Good luck with your vehicle ♥

[nunuuu]

This made me feel so warm and fuzzy...I am so happy for you. Your glow is infectious! ♥

[nicefinalbeam]

Aww, thanks so much! :D I'm glad I could make you feel warm and fuzzy~
