As a retired social media user, I was born to post. I come here to talk about
whatever is on my mind or going on in my daily life, as well as post other various
things every now and again. There are many things I am deeply normal about. You will bear witness to normalcy if you remain here. If you do not wish to do so, please exit out of the tab.

Anyway the need for a new bag has just tripled because this new laptop is bigger and than my old one ;__; I can't keep using a shoulder bag for hauling all my stuff to/from work I'll actually dieMarin - 15/07/26 05:45PM
I am the most special princess in the office (they gave me a brand new laptop and I'm the first person to get one!)Marin - 15/07/26 05:17PM
CAN IT PLEASEEEEEEEE BE SEPTEMBER ALREADY I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

I desperately want to 100% Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy but holy fuck sometimes you can really tell it was written by the people who made Danganronpa/AITSF/Zero Escape. I mean this so very lovingly by the wayMarin - 15/07/26 06:10PM
It's an "order a kebab and hop on XIV for frontlines" kind of night why is my job evil as fuckMarin - 08/07/26 10:45PM
Working on a 100 questions template of my own~ I can't wait to post and answer my questions for FFXIV fans :>Marin - 06/07/26 10:40PM
Every single day I tell myself I will Not sleep on my wet hair after showering and every single time without fail I do and I end up looking like I've been dragged through a bush the next morning and have to fight with my hair to behave. Many such casesMarin - 06/07/26 10:38PM
Got told by one of my Karate juniors that I look too young to be my actual age. My addiction to skincare and not wearing make up is lowkey paying off rnMarin - 05/07/26 09:31PM
Given that this is a closed style and I was specifically invited along by him feels nice though... WTF do you mean I am percieved in a positive way and he thought I would fit in here. I feel so bad for waiting so long to get back to him about it but it was so hard to run into him at the office... and I was too worried about seeming weird to message him in case he wasn't being for real because I know people offer things without being serious sometimes ;__; I almost want to ask him for technique help at other points too but again I don't want to seem weird. Wah. I like him he's cool...Marin - 05/07/26 09:28PM
I have NO IDEA what it is, but training with my coworker (who is also now my sensei.) in a second style of Karate makes me feel so deeply embarrassed. Please stop looking at my bad Mawashi Geris PLEASE!!!!! I am a cringe loser blue belt and NOT the paragon of (my main style)'s techniques!!!!!!Marin - 05/07/26 09:22PM
Sooo glad I finally finished and posted the homepage for my subdomain. Now I've got an excuse to write a lot more LOLMarin - 27/06/26 11:37PM
Caved and got a Switch 2 today in preparation for the new Fire Emblem game... which will be coming out WHILE I'm in Japan. I have a whole night to myself during the trip before TGS so I'll be doing some lame nerd stuff then immediately retreating back to the hotel to lock in and play it LMAOMarin - 27/06/26 11:35PM
I'm happy and feeling blessed to be able to go back to Japan but I'm SO gutted that I will be missing SideM 11th while I'm there... Asobiprem doesn't allow foreign cards for membership payment and it's way harder to hit days at the concert without it ANDDDDD it's especially bad this time around because they picked such a small venue!! Even people with Asobiprem are only getting SINGLE days IF ANYTHING!!!!! bamco I need you to stop fumbling this series every five minutes and leaving your bookings too lateMarin - 25/06/26 09:25PM
Feels good to work on coding and sites and stuff but I desperately need to start sleeping at a normal time. The level of exhaustion I feel right now is turning me ACTUALLY evilMarin - 25/06/26 09:19PM
The voices are getting to me again (the voices are telling me to play Wizard101)Marin - 25/06/26 09:19PM
I definitely need a new backpack because the one I used for travelling in Japan was NOT the most spacious thing ever and ended up breaking when I came home T__T the bag I use for work is a shoulder one and I'm worried about it fucking up my posture/shoulder too since I walk everywhere...Marin - 25/06/26 09:17PM
Small to-do/want-to-do list for later I guess- Fansites
- Design pages for fanlistings/figure out how to run one lol
- BL subdomain for yaoimaxxing/being a weird little freak/promoting The Greatest Yaoi Manga Of Our Time, Koala Ohmugi's Noumi-Senpai No Benmei
- Travel diary..?
- Finish posts in my drafts
- Lightbox tomfoolery
- Maybe redo bio page idk
- Open affiliates? Apply to be an affiliate with some other people's sites I like?? idk
- Designated updates page so that little scroll box on my homepage doesn't get too chokka when I eventually update enough
- Be normal and well-adjusted and remain employed (smile)
Marin - 25/06/26 09:12PM
It has been a BADDDDD week lmfao oh my god someone please shoot me. Anyway I just remembered I'm an adult with money and can buy the backpack I wanted as a teenager... but now I'm having second thoughts about if I like it that muchMarin - 22/06/26 08:50PM
Went along to a tournament this weekend for Karate. Watched my sensei get knocked out. Got baited into going for the next tournament over a cider with my dojo peers. If I post from the hospital later in the year, that will be why LOLMarin - 18/06/26 09:20PM
One of my goals for this year was to reach out and talk to/connect with more people. In some ways I've worked on this (joining a second Karate club on top of the style I already train in) which is nice and all, but I still feel like a hermit by nature and hesitate to for a lot of reasons. I don't really want to be like this anymore, but the idea of messaging people out of the blue feels deeply wrong for whatever reason. Not sure how to describe it.Marin - 18/06/26 08:30PM
The way I can tell exactly what kind of day I'm going to have based on the first email to fall into my lap is frankly insane. I should be allowed one free pass per month to explode somebody with my mind -__-Marin - 18/06/26 08:28PM
I wish I could be more positive about things going on in my life right now but work just keeps pissing me off and all I feel is annoyed and stressed. Thank god I have my Japan trip in September but holy fuck I need some time off STATTTTTMarin - 16/06/26 07:20PM
Prev post has made me realise I need to set up Lightbox for my blog post images. That'll be future Marin's problem, trust.Marin - 16/06/26 07:13PM
Haven't played XIV in a sec. OCE queues were bugging me a lot so I ended up moving to one of the Japanese Data Centers with a couple friends of mine so we can actually play the game outside of a smallish window in the evening. It took a few tries, but I landed a new house in Shirogane! I'm hoping to decorate it soon, as well as finish maxxing out Scholar/Summoner to level 100.
I pretty much finished MSQ as soon as it came out. I have quite a few thoughts on the story direction at the moment, so I maaaay write them down somewhere on here eventually? I'll need to figure out how I want to spoiler-tag things though... work is actually killing me at the moment so I've got no energy in the evenings/whatever free time I have X__X I can't wait until I actually have the majority of September off...
Marin - 13/06/26 05:05PM
Life was so good this week WDYM we got the Persona 4 Remake trailer, Persona 6 teaser ANDDDDD all the new info about the new Overwatch hero. I had KBBQ for dinner yesterday too. Life is so worth living. We are so fucking back.Marin - 13/06/26 04:38PM
I was lowkey that one coworker who got an insane tax refund this year because I worked like half of a financial year which meant I was technically overtaxed LOLLL. Most of it will be going to savings because I'm cagey about spending money but I bought myself some IKEA stuff :)Marin - 13/06/26 04:31PM
Busy couple of weeks. Changed registrars. Apparently deleted something which was necessary for this site to actually be online. I've learnt my lesson to be way more careful when tooling around with things I don't know much about.
Marin - 02/06/26 03:38PM
Had to renew my domain so you know what that means... it's almost been a year since I've had this lovely little project on my hands. I don't really have much prepared for it this time around, but I'm hoping to put together a subdomain for collating all the fanlistings I'm in/the ones I plan on owning.Marin - 01/06/26 12:33PM
I did NOT wake up for the Team Sweden qualifiers match this morning. Bless.Marin - 31/05/26 09:45PM
3 am OWWC Team Sweden qualifiers match tomorrow queen?Marin - 30/05/26 10:15PM
I've been thinking a bit lately about how 2020 was such an absolutely bizarre time to be online especially in relation to parasocialism.Back when I was a teenager on Overwatch League twitter, I wanted to be acknowledged by the pros I was a major fan of and be "known" by other fans (which, looking back, was really silly and clearly a desire stemming from my own teenage insecurities lol). Ever since those people went stir crazy during the pandemic and started going turbo-crazy over people from the Dream SMP, it's just made me realise I want the direct opposite of that acknowledgement. Do not percieve me. Let me be a freak in my little cave all by myself and do not look at me. You do not need to know I exist, thank you.
...I think the only exception to the rule would be an in-person event. Partially because they're very rarely accessible for me (let alone who would be going!) and because I think it'd be nice to have a signed shirt or something lol T__T
Marin - 30/05/26 07:05PM
All I did today was eat pancakes, look at Lego builds and play Overwatch... and code of course I'm literally working on putting this page live as I type lolMarin - 30/05/26 06:50PM
I love watching team South Korea in OWWC quals. Like why are they even here. It feels so cruel watching their games because the roster is just pro OW Avengers for Korean pros and they actually dogwalk everyone else in the bracket. (CHOOSING TO IGNORE JUNBIN ON SUPPORT)Marin - 30/05/26 05:30PM
I got Takoyaki Zenyatta in my vault this time around thank GAWDDD I instantly bought it!!!!!Marin - 26/05/26 07:45PM
The only reason I stopped working from home is because I don't have to pay to not freeze to death there. Literally why are New Zealand homes so uniquely and terribly cold when our climate is like this. WTF.Marin - 26/05/26 06:39PM
They're holding me down and injecting five million pages of legislation directly into my brain this week. Goodbye blissful ignorance you will be dearly missed...Marin - 25/05/26 09:33PM
It is SO bizarre to admit I have genuinely and wholeheartedly loved Overwatch Esports for nearly 10 years now. Of all things to hang on to from my teenage years it just happens to be grown ass men playing a shooter game and getting a little toxic with it. Maybe I should write a big post about what it all means to me...It all started here, BTW. Absolutely lifechanging stuff.
Marin - 25/05/26 08:50PM
Spent the whole day genuinely thinking about the Kevster Cassidy gameplay vs Twisted Minds on New Junk City from two days ago instead of doing my job like a good little wage slave. My bad
Marin - 25/05/26 08:40PM
"Is Kevster genuinely washed" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,Marin - 23/05/26 08:16PM
That Virtus.pro vs Zeta match was DISGUSTINGGGGG thank god for Shu and Viol2t backline saving their assesMarin - 22/05/26 11:32PM
Spacestation Gaming experiencing the boomage of the century over a Jetpack Cat and Bastion comp is frying me. Couldn't help but beg for Sugarbron to turn on his monitor...Marin - 22/05/26 11:32PM

I really love the WHA adaptation but oh my fucking god please stop hiring Hanae Natsuki for literally every male lead I swear I see his name around 40 times a season. Hire somebody else PLEASE!!!
