I love our families dog, but I don't show it often. I don't play with her or talk to her or anything, but I do care about her. Our pet dog has been with me and my dad many years now, so of course I care. I just don't show it like my dad does.

I'm not good at caring for animals. Especially since I can barely care for myself. But they doesn't mean I'm emotionless. Just that I wouldn't care for an animal if it was just up to me.

I feel like Ninjago seasons 1 to 4 are the definitive seasons of the show. Maybe. As someone biased towards that era both because it was probably the era I have the most very vague memories of, and it's also the era when Lord Garmadon was there as a frequent recurring character. Both those things make it read as the best era to me, I suppose.

I think season 5 might be okay, though. I haven't seen it, really. But it seems like season 5 might be something I can work into my watching schedule or whatever. I think seasons 1 to 5 might be the best seasons of the show, or at least the ones I most want to see. I don't know why I felt like sharing all this information, but I couldn't help rambling about all this.

I discovered or rediscovered the website whychristmas recently. As recently as today, in fact. Apparently it's just a website dedicated to trying to explain Christmas traditions around the globe. I don't know how accurate it is, but reading Australia's entry told me about some new things I'd never heard of before. Like how there's unique plants native to Australia apparently sometimes associated with Christmas there. I don't know if those claims are true, but the plants sure are. I found photos. And they're quite pretty.

Now that I see the website again, I think I'm remembering a school project I might've once did. It was about looking up a country's christmas traditions, I think. I don't remember the year, but I remember this website design. And I remember my country of choice: Latvia. I chose Latvia not because I knew it well, nor because I have history with Latvia. No, I chose it because SNL did a sketch back a bunch of years ago and made Latvia the butt of their jokes. Latvian president at the time Egils Levits was shown as the "Loser" that Trump was forced to sit next to when Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau and Boris Johnson didn't let him sit with them.

I found an article about the sketch! It was done in the December of 2019! So I must've done the assignment around then, if my memory is correct. I actually felt bad for Latvia them. I knew nothing of Latvia. I still barely do. But I knew that being called a loser by an american sketch show was tantamount to the US mocking and bullying another nation. And that made me want to study Latvia out of spite, because I wanted to do them justice and prove they weren't just "losers."

I actually kind of think of this occasionally when I see the Bob's Burgers episode "Touch of Eval(uations)," because Louise did a project on Latvia in one offhand joke in that episode too. I don't make the connection as often as I could, but still. Now I might be able to do it more again.

Oh, and finally : I'm still rather bored right now. So because of that, I may very well just explore this website some more and see if I learn anything. At least that'll be a way to kill a few hours.

I'm 21, and I still can't remember everything that ever happened in my life. What happened when I was five? I know something happened, but what things? What days and what months? It's hard to know. Now I think I know how people with memory loss might possibly feel. It's not like I've forgotten my life, it's just that memories dull as time passes. The past seven years are where all my strongest memories currently stand.

I keep wanting to just write down everything I remember about my 21 years of life, but that really is a fool's errand. Everytime I try to handle it in my phone's notes app, it quickly spirals out of hand.

I seem to worry about peeing a lot. Not constantly, but enough so that I kind of wonder if it's just my regular paranoia or if it's something dumb like masturbation too often causing the nerves in that area to be worse. I mean...that actually is an example of my regular paranoia. But still, you know what I mean.

I'm sure it's fine, because I deal with this on and off way too often already. I just wanted to write something about this and get it off my chest. The sun really is going down now, though. And with it now being close to five pm with everything being dark, I'm gonna probably have to consider heading downstairs soon enough. I still have one more post in my drafts, and I seriously just killed two hours listening to music and writing posts on here, but I guess I'll have to just accept that one.
