I feel like I haven't caught up properly with anyone on this app in a while, so I'll share a few nice/not-so-nice things that have happened to me recently, and y'all reply (if you wish) and share some nice things that have happened to y'all recently

So for me:

- it's IW at my college this week, so yesterday I got to meet a really awesome guy - a scriptwriter and comedian - and BAFTA award winner. really solid bloke - me and my friends did a scriptwriting workshop with him which was super awesome. 11/10 experience (all week has been pretty awesome, we've had a couple talks with some directors too). oh also i got a photo with him where i'm holding a real life BAFTA award (they're actually really heavy bro) and me and my team got a group photo with him too

- i was finally able to get my instagram account back, but someone had hacked and deleted everything (I think, I don't know exactly what happened) but it seems to be OK now, so I repurposed it into an art account (aliche_arts) if anyone's interested. Anyway so I drew the band PassCode a while ago in a chibi style and posted a time lapse reel of it. PassCode are a pretty small Japanese metal band, but I still wasn't expecting my tags to work, but it got liked by Nao Minami herself (PassCode's lead singer). Of the seven views, and the two likes, she was one of them 😭 11/10 experience. Best part? it was 3am in Japan at the time, so what was she doing up looking at my reel huh? Made me feel somewhat fabulous

- Did i mention my concert enough back in January? BMTH and Bad Omens? I'm still not over the fact i breathed the same air as Oli Sykes (and the others, of course, I love them too, but yk, Oli Sykes) and sang alongside him. madness and definitely ∞/10 experience

- got a chance to complete one of my new year's resolutions, got halfway there then chickened out, so it's still a mystery, but it was a good day nonetheless so I'm giving the overall day a 9/10 for sure (this is still goodgood)

- Less good is that my cousin said when I was explaining voices in my head to her that i might be schizophrenic (i think this was a joke) so I took a test to see what it said and it said early schizophrenia, so that's always nice to know. I know it's only a free online test, but every time i've done one in the past it's turned out to actually be true so yknow thats always nice to know huh, let's not rate that one

- Dave is always a ∞/10

- OK and final one we're gonna have to go with the band manager shit I'm doing now for my dad's band. We haven't done much for now, but they've completed five songs for the first EP, and we're working on a bunch of little reels and shorts for now. We have the intention of potentially shooting a music video soon in Piccadilly London (zero budget of course) but we'll see how that goes. honestly its just really fun to work on even if no one ever listens, but I'll definitely be updating you guys on how this goes if you're interested. My duties so far include logo design, EP cover design, plotting the music video, creating a couple little skits and clips with teasers on and stuff. Oh and practising my death metal scream for the next song 😃 So being appointed band manager is defo a 10/10 experience too

And that's me. Sometimes i feel like I focus on negatives too much so it's nice to think of everything positive for once (check me battling depression let's go). Hope y'all are doing ok and chat to yall in the next 3 months I guess :D
