I'm so smart! ^_^

February 10th 2026

I'm so smart!! I've been studying my Spanish for tomorrow's test! I'm gonna ace this shit let me tell ya. I'm not going to give up I'm going to try to reach out to Financial Aid tomorrow because I've only got 2 or 3 more days to do it. I should probably try to do it tonight actually, I just couldn't find the office last night. I have so much stuff I need to do I need to get on my shit. My future is in my hands and I'm not gonna give up.

"There is no way I can win, I won't give up and that's my only sin!" in the words of 16 year old Neil Cicierega.

I love Lemon Demon's older stuff so much. I have a lot of nostalgia for Lemon Demon in general because I was really into his music when I was around 13 or so and I kinda miss being 13, I have a lot of regrets from 8th grade thanks to covid. That was almost 7 years ago and I need to let it go at this point, maybe there will be a resolution between me and that friend I talked about someday but for now there's not much I can do. But back to Lemon Demon, people call his first 2 albums mid or whatever and while I'm on the fence about them myself I have to admit they do have some bangers. Boat, the one I just quoted is a good example. I also really like Destructo, Mold En Mono, Switzerland, etc. These are all from what's considered his worst album, Live From the Haunted Candle Shop, It's my least favorite album of his too, like a 6/10 for me but I still really like it. I'd be lying if I said I didn't. 

Clown Circus is another one that doesn't get a lot of love or appreciation, Don't Be Like the Sun was Neil's first song under the Lemon Demon alias he made when he was 16 and while it definitely shows, I still think it's a banger. Hyakugojyuuichi 2003 is of course iconic although I could do without Shmorky's part and that's not even because Shmorky is a terrible person, their part just kinda derails the song I feel. I remember hearing it and being like "who the hell is this shmorky fella" then I googled them and went down an insane rabbit hole. I know the Shmorky = Stonetoss theory was disproven but I still think it's really funny. 

I have so much bullshit from 2022 in my Instagram archive I've been cleaning out recently, I was such a weird 16 year old. There's a lot of interesting MeadowHeart lore prototype ideas here that I should show y'all, and maybe I will. We'll see ;)

Song of the Day: Nine Inch Nails - Only

My first exposure to this song was a meme of the tbh creature dancing to it.

Song of the Day: Tears for Fears - Mad World

Living The Dream in 68 days!

alright

February 6th 2026

 

Dawg breh bruh i feel so cute rn i dont even know why. I'm so smart and cool and cute and I feel lovely right now. I can't believe 2024 was 2 years ago now around this time I was just uuuuuuugh I still feel weird about everything with her but this year I'm going to feel amazing. I have to study for some stuff and I have to figure out my college bullshit I'm going to live forever I and I love everyone and everything the world is so beautiful I'm so happy right now. I miss Tom Lehrer :(

 

It's so funny that Turning Point USA is doing their own Super Bowl and of course Kid Rock is headlining like yeah man the guy who wrote that song for Osmosis Jones about his love of underage girls that's great man. I'm glad this shit is finally resurfacing bruh I remember telling my dad about that some time ago and he didn't believe me. The fact that song was made for a kids movie too. Even if it wasn't in the movie it was still on the soundtrack and I think there was even a deleted scene that was fully animated for it.

 

God I wish I could find the motivation I had in 2024 to take care of everything, I don't know what happened. I don't wanna say that she ruined me because ultimately it's my own responsibility and I need to take the blame for this but man she affected me for sure. I just hope she can grow and change as a person and become a better person. I'm not sure if I would want to be friends with her after how she treated me or what but I hope she can have a better life for herself and for the people around her. 

 

Song of the Day: Alanis Morissette - Hand In My Pocket

She was in that movie I watched that shit was great

Living The Dream in 69 days!

put it in my video

February 5th 2026

I got some actually good sleep for once last night. I feel nice and well rested and ready to take care of my responsibilities ^_^

I'm mostly just thinking about doing another MeadowHeart Gacha Life meme or whatever the hell, I don't know it's stupid... There's this Childish Gambino song called "Put It In My Video" that's been a TikTok fandom trend and I saw it with South Park and Umamusume and I thought about doing it with  MeadowHeart girlies but it's Virginia simping over them :3 shoutout to hopeless romantics!!! Ireland forever It's Ireland Thursday. Ireland is like Japan for girls. 

Donald Glover is awesome, he was the best part of Community. Not to say Community isn't good without him but the show really suffered when he left. Troy and Abed are the best characters on the show. I've been rewatching season 2 and it's honestly incredible. Best season of television ever I swearrrr. Not a single episode that I'd consider below a 7/10. Most episodes are 10/10s in my opinion. Community as a whole is such an incredible quotable show but season 2 really knocks it out of the park. I can't wait for the movie oh my goodnesss!!!! 

I can't stop thinking about how great Earthbound's soundtrack is. I especially love Pokey Means Business! Did you know it's called CEASE TO EXIST in Japan? I think both titles fit the track well, I love the guitar too it's so badass. You don't hear that often in SNES game soundtracks. 

I saw a funny tumblr post today I can't stop thinking about

"weed before cider youre meeting the spider. cider before weed time for centipede." I don't get it but I really do in a way you know? I've also been seeing funny animal videos like owls and seals and cats and stuff I love the world and I love animals. 

Song of the Day: Childish Gambino - Put It In My Video

That Gaza line is fucking foul even for 2011 or whenever this was.

Living The Dream in 70 Days!

boognish return

February 4th 2026

 

School was not great today, I just feel so sick thinking about everything going on right now. I went home and cried then took a nap.

Ween had a new live album announced which is cool, the last one was in 2016 with GodWeenSatan live. It’s been 18 years since their last studio album though I’m starting to lose faith in the idea of them coming back. Live albums are always cool too though, Ween’s Live in Chicago is one of my favorite live albums of all time. The rendition of Mutilated Lips on that one is sooooo fucking good istg <3

 

Song of the Day: Crowded House - Don’t Dream It’s Over

Hey now, hey now…insert cheesy bread…

I invited Julian (Smug Horse) to my island, and Tasha (Snooty Squirrel) showed up in the campsite, I don't know if I'll invite her to be a resident on the island yet though.

No school again today so I've just been on that Animal Crossing grind, I did get a couple things done for school though I'm not a complete lazy dumbass. 

Much Love!!

Nora Meadow <3

Song of the Day: They Might Be Giants - Purple Toupee

67 reference lol :3 this is my favorite boomer nostalgia song

73 days until Tomodachi Life!

I'm just disgusted

February 1st 2026

This country and the way it's trying to cover up the disgusting actions of the elites just fills me with so much rage, and the fact that many of them are trying to defend it so hard. 

I don't have anything else to say for this day, I just really hope these horrific crimes don't go unpunished even though I fear nothing is going to happen. 

Song of the Day: Aesop Rock - Coffee

When I listened to this for the first time I noticed it was 9 minutes long and freaked out. Pretty good though.

Blood from the concrete

January 31st 2026

Villager #8 arrived on my island through autofill... it's.... ANGUS!

Animal Crossing Island Update!

Pierce asked to move out, I declined because I want to get a full island before I start kicking villagers out. I found my old 2021 island's villager list. Looks like I had Ava on that one too interestingly enough. I miss Jeremiah and Audie, though. 

I got Melba though!!! I invited her onto the island, that's resident number seven! 

Song of the Day: Pearl Jam - Jeremy 

Banger, apparently based on a true story. That makes it much darker if that's true.

Business Taken Care Of

January 26th 2026

So I can’t go into too much detail because personal business blah but my academic stuff has been going great and I’ve been making up for the blunder that was last semester. Everything works out, I just have to be strong and truly prove myself, and this semester will be my chance to do so. It may be my last chance but if I play my cards right I can show the world that despite some of my struggles I am strong and I am determined.

Animal Crossing has been cool too, I’ve been visiting dream islands (heh.) and one of them was named Lincoln, same as mine. I like visiting these because they’re very pretty while my island is just in the beginner stages. I’m still not entirely sure what I have planned for my island yet but I wanna make something awesome, also I like some of the clothing options in this game they’re super cute!!! ^w^ 

Yippee!!!

Nora Meadow <3

Getting the hang of this!

 January 25th 2026

My homework's all done, so I'm playing Animal Crossing. I set up the Campsite and the Able Sisters' store. ^_^ I'm making more progress than I ever did on any of my past islands, I would always lose interest then start things all over. I'm really getting into this game though. Also, school is closed for me tomorrow. I don't know if we're gonna have zoom meetings or what but yeah... I should still probably get to bed after this if that's the case. I could probably check online and see if my professors said anything, hang on...Yeah, I've got a couple things I can do tomorrow. ^_^ I'll be sure to work on all of that :3 I'm a smart hard working lady this semester I'm not gonna screw it up this time. 

I'm trying to make friends both online and offline as well, I'm a bit of an antisocial moth, but at least I'm one of the pretty colorful ones (Dryocampa rubicunda) hehehehe... I'm gonna get there soon, blehh

Much Love!!

Song of the Day: Panic! at the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies

January 24th 2026

Snowstorm hit us a bit crazy today. I don’t know if I’ll have classes on Monday yet… oh good heavens… >.<

 

I got all my homework done this week so I’m playing Animal Crossing. I finally got Resident Services upgraded yippee I missed Isabelle!!!! ^_^ I love her she’s one of my favorite characters honestly. She’s also my main whenever I play Smash which is extremely rarely.

 

I keep falling in and out of sleep. I really hope this snow passes soon.

 

Much Love!!

A better semester

January 21st 2026

here’s to a better semester.

All of my classes are in the same building, I find that pretty interesting. But also a lil sad because I enjoy walking around campus… >.<

oh well.

I have a class on the first floor of this building which I don’t think I had before. All of my classes in the past have been on the second or third floor of the building.

 I’m excited for the reading material of my European Epics class. The Iliad and Odyssey, as well as Dante’s Inferno ^w^ 

I’ve also got a new planner thing I’ve been working on staying on top of, I will do better this semester.

i’m gonna try to make some friends this semester as well. Some of the people in my classes seem really nice and interesting >.< yippee!!!!!

A better semester. 

Song of the Day: Elvis Presley - Burning Love

Wait this is kinda fire (pun intended)

What happened to me?

January 20th 2026

I'm so nervous for this next semester, but I'm also really excited. Today is technically the first day of classes, but I don't have any on Tuesdays. 

Either way, I'm gonna lock in and I'm also gonna let people help me, that's something else I need to work on. I wish I had the motivation I had in early 2024 back, I'm not sure what happened...

I need to start doing what I say instead of saying what I'll do

Whatever.

Much Love!!<3

Song of the Day: The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian

Animal Crossing's new update just dropped, and They Might Be Giants are dropping their new EP tomorrow! What a week. I'm gonna restart my island here in a bit for the new update because my old one wasn't all that great, I dunno I just freakin love this game! There's a lot of things that can be said about New Horizons that previous games in the series do better, but I do still think it's my favorite Animal Crossing game. I've played a few of the older ones though, mainly New Leaf and Wild World. New Leaf was my first one, I love Isabelle. She's such a cutie. I lowkey kin her... oops!!!! 

 

Some of my other favorite villagers include:

Song of the Day: The Doors - Take It As It Comes

Take it ez babe!

Media Log 2026 - January 14:

02. The Doors - The Doors

1967 Album, Magnificent

Anyone who knows me knows that I adore this album, the whole CIA funded circus music meme is true but it's such a fantastic album. 

I'm a coward.

January 13th 2026

Still haven't sent the message yet, they seem like a nice person I'm just such a huge coward. I just need to take a deep breath and send it and maybe we'll be friends or something...I don't have too many irl friends, and only like one friend who goes to the same college as me. I need to put myself out there, make some friends, and I'll be happier. 

In other news I've been playing Puyo Puyo Tetris and it's pretty fun, even if I kinda suck at Puyo Puyo. I wish Quest was released outside of Japan but it's been 13 years so I doubt it, even if it is a mobile game. 

Much Love!! <3

Song of the Day: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Achy Breaky Song 

Will always be hilarious to me how because Weird Al asks permission to parody songs he went up to Billy Ray Cyrus and was like "Hey man, love the song. Can I write a parody about how much it sucks?"

That was something

January 12th 2026

Went to a basketball game my dad was coaching because he's the basketball coach at the school he teaches at, his team didn't win but it was still entertaining I guess. 

I'm really worried about the financial aid stuff, but I found the appeal form I need to fill out and I'm going to do that when I get the chance.

Much Love!! <3

Nora Meadow

Song of the Day: The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever

Another one of my favorites of theirs.

guh

January 11th 2026

Very nervous for next semester.

It's going to be better I have a plan and I'm smart but I'm scared about the whole financial aid situation. I'm going to talk to someone ASAP but I don't know how that's going to go down. I've got this fingers crossed. I also promised I'd reach out to that cool person I want to be friends with before next semester, still haven't done it. Might do it tonight depends on how I'm feeling. 

Much Love!! <3

Song of the Day: That Handsome Devil - Viva Discordia

This was my favorite album around this time five years ago.
