First off, shoutouts to the KH2 community. You guys are so crazy dedicated to a game that's NOT easy to run, and I respect the hell out of that determination and all of you.

Special shoutouts to Ninten866 and iiSalad for teaching me basically everything I know about KH2. Ninten, you're a mystery, but you're chill as fuck, an absolute monster at KH2, and are always a pleasure to talk to. Salad, you're a genuine friend. You've gotten a lot of flack from parts of the KH community over the years, and I have no place to comment on any of that since it doesn't involve me, but I've always appreciated all that you do for this game. Keep pushing forward, my friend. You're so close to sub 4, and I wanna see you contest WR :)

So, I need a break from KH2. I'm still going to be competing in the tournament, and I still want a PB somewhere between sub 4:05 and sub 4:10. I think I accidentally burnt myself out too fast by going apeshit ham for a straight month learning this game. I don't know how long this break is gonna be. It could be a week; it could be two months. Still, I've been feeling the itch to play a game where movement tech is an absolute must, so I need to scratch that itch for the sake of myself as a streamer.

Current projects in mind:
-Rac1 NG+, because it's about time I finally got good at this game
-Rac: A Crack in Time NG+, because I told my boy PerilousPeanut I would bop him, as long as he bops me right back


Other things that have been occupying my time:

-Job hunt, which has slowly been murdering my soul because I just want a dumb part time office job and it feels like I've applied to everything in a 5 mile radius.

-Preparation for my classical voice recital on June 11. I'm preparing about an hour's worth of music, encompassing many different styles and settings of texts in English, French, German, and Italian.

-Writing music, which has been a lot of theory crafting and not a lot of actual writing just yet. I have some really cool ideas, though.
		1. Piano sonata. I've written about 1.5 movements of this so far. 4 movements in total.
		2. Tuskegee Sunrise: A standalone piece dedicated to the victims of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment
				             Instrumentation to be determined.
		3. Songs outlining my experiences with abuse and depression: This one is kind of a heavy subject matter, but one
		   that I feel needs to be addressed to give myself some closure, some empowerment. Music and lyrics will
		   both be entirely written by me.

-Finally, I still intend on making the UYA tut series. Shit got kinda crazy for a while, so it fell to the wayside. Sorry to those who have been waiting with bated breath on that one.
