issue #7

omg lucky number!!

dearest reader,

you are deer to me (get it because people eat deer!!!) yeah i can officially confirm that mischa has eaten deer during her stay to japan. do you guys wonder if mischa is an imaginary friend i made up to keep bringing up in these newsletters and mess with your spiritual energy? i hope you do. also tablet/ipad users please consider filling out this form: https://forms.gle/9tHq9WgcEQMtYjuV8. dont worry it is shorter than the 42 questioned one!!

thing #1: discord..

guys. i know i have been on discord for 8 years. but i am considering migrating to matrix!! #privacy!! matrix is like a bit complicated but i recommend getting the cinny client!!!! like in comparison to the element client (matrix’s flagship one) it is so clean like look:

cinny client

anyway i will explain matrix to my understanding but this video does it much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BieAw6lwntU&pp=ygUPanVzdCB1c2UgbWF0cml4. it is a decentralised privacy-focused chat platform! decentralised means that people can access the matrix servers (aka be able to access all their chats with people) on different clients so that no design can ever have a monopoly (like discord does)!! so you can talk to your friend whose interface looks like:

while you remain in normalcy:

this inspires competition between ux designers and also allows you to have more individuality in your viewing experience! this means you do not have to conform to a specific design to chat to your friends!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

ive been meaning to do this for like 2 years but i have been putting it off, oops!!! i kind of dont like the business direction discord is going in, so alternatives are kind of like necessary!!! and matrix is one of the better ones!!!!!!!!

please make an account, make sure you’re on the matrix.org server, and add me <3!!! @nicolemak310!!!!! or just like let me know that you made the account on discord… 

thing #2: microsoft

i would like to talk about microsoft emojis. omg i hate that i like realised my tendency to fall into the genkouyoushi opening. now i cant stop seeing it. please help me. back to microsoft! before i left my prior educational institution, i had a windows laptop. BEFORE THE EMOJIS WERE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!! BUT THEY BECAME SO CUTE WHEN MY DEPARTURE WAS NEAR AND I MISS THEM. REMEMBER THE OLD TEAMS EMOJIS TOO!! THEY WERE EVEN WORSE BUT THEN THEY USED THE NEW WINDOWS ONES!!!!!

TRES KAWAII, NON DESU NE? i love the artists who worked on them. 

i would love it if gboard enabled the option to change my phone emojis to the windows ones. i genuinely love them. ANOTHER FEATURE OF MATRIX THAT DISCORD DOESNT HAVE!! CHANGING YOUR DEFAULT EMOJIS!! ON MATRIX I COULD MAKE MY EMOJIS WINDOWS ONES!! sorry for the #️⃣ad. omg mia m like showed me #️⃣!!!! it is so #️⃣gang!!!!!!!!!!! thank u mia emerson!!!!!!!! (sorry i imagined her up too.)

thing #3: guys im funny right? right?

i genuinely could not stop laughing at this. well ive stopped now. dont worry! but like at the time it was a struggle. i cant believe a week ago he was 14. like wow 14 seems so young now. i was so young. and so stupid!

HAHA YOU THOUGHT I COULD BE REFLECTIVE!!! well SORRY im not a mirror!!!! insult 14 year old me and ill take that as a personal PRESENT attack 😠!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thing #4: mattress

oh my god guys i finally realised what i dont like about my mattress. it is too firm!!!!!!! omg i have been on papa bear’s bed this whole time when really i needed mama bear’s!!!!! or goldilock’s but like she tried mama bear’s one before she tried hers and that probably made hers feel better anyway!!!! i guess i am just like the princess and the pea. omg i used to like put a pea under my mattress to like replicate the story. and i like would lie on like a folded blanket and my pillows to imitate the number of mattresses!! did anyone else do that? i think i have like some sort of sensory issues like i cant recognise when i feel hot or cold without like checking my physical symptoms!! and i didnt recognise this mattress thing until now!! and socks. and just like clothing in general!! omg pls do not post on your close story about me. that is like a big fear of mine. i am giving you SOME info but not ALL the info bc you can pay for the rest. please have some journalistic integrity in your instagram stories. anyway im getting a mattress topper soon 💞yay soft!!! 

thing #5: hoyts

ok so i went to the watch kung fu panda 4 with a very special car!!!!!!!! a jess car 😆!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway its kind of not the point but the movie was quite good!!! like perfect 90 minute film <3 great structure, humour and i think it is great for a sequel!!! dreamworks is really good with sequels i’d say. we like ordered the xtreme popcorn. but we didn’t realise how extreme it would be. yeah so i am like a ffa type of girl when it comes to popcorn. it is a competition and i will not hesitate to continue omnomnom-ing it while you go to the bathroom. but this time. this time was different. yeah, i shoveled the popped corn over and over and over again. i shoveled and shoveled and shoveled but then. the movie ended. we watched the credits. we still had more popcorn. the bottom of the bucket? nowhere to be found. what the heck!! i thought. so we literally just sat in front of hoyts and ate the rest of the popcorn 😭 there was genuinely so much. i did not shut up about my shock to jessica and im sure i will not shut up about it for a while! my teeth still hurt!!!!! 

thing #6: soundtracks

you know what? i hate when shows dont add their songs to spotify. but i hate it more when they only upload some. LIKE WHY?? YOU ALREADY MADE THE EFFORT TO PUT SOME ON THE PLATFORM WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING ALL OF THEM? PLEASE IT IS SO FRUSTRATING. I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU MY LITTLE PONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE IS IT NOT FREE MONEY? YOU ALREADY PUT IN THE EFFORT TO CREATE AND PRODUCE THE SONG FOR A TV AUDIENCE?? YOU HAVE A SONG U CAN MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY OFF OF BY JUST RELEASING IT ONTO THIS PLATFORM OK!!! does it cost money to do or something? like other than the commission spotify gets from listens. is there an entrance fee for each song? please provide answers.

thing #7: regular show

yes i am again talking omg wait. i like forgot i was supposed to add to the mattress thing that in my head for some reason i picture jennifer as goldilocks like. i am not 100% sure why she just gives off the vibes of a girl who would break into someones house, try all their stuff and then fall asleep to be caught. like that is so comical and so jen fur. omg jen fur. jess car. live a (but like an australian a like butcha). i would move this up there but i cannot be bothered to scroll <33 sorry jennifer chan. anyway i am again talking about regular show. i have finished rewatching it. yes the final season though i understand it was supposed to lead up to the finale i feel like they couldve included more filler like more hehe haha!!!!! but overall i am happy with the series!!!!!!!!! i am glad that it was able to produce so much trololols. u should watch it. i would like to clarify this is not an invitation to talk to me about it. i will run away from you! anyway, i think adventure time is next on my endless rewatching 😋 marceline here i come 💞<3 🥰 pbg you are morally questionable.

thing #8: job

https://career10.successfactors.com/career?career_ns=job_listing&company=Woolworths&navBarLevel=JOB_SEARCH&rcm_site_locale=en_GB&career_job_req_id=972749 for those who live near st kilda, its metro (woolies) is hiring for night fill!! for people who wouldn’t be sleeping anyway, i think this is like a pretty good offer as your shift would end right before midnight. talk about a cinderella story!!! its funny bc its not actually a cinderella story because of a number of factors. one, no shoe of any sorts is involved. two, your shift is not actually when the spell wears off at midnight. three, you may look the part, but you are not cinderella. you can laugh now!! haha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha h a ah ahha!!!!!!!

thing #9: chi

omg gang chi is such the great a friend 🥹 she is so funny and so passionate WHICH IS TOTEMO KOORU (so cool.) LIKE!!! art!!!! manhwa!!!!! gay people!!! CHI IS A LOVER!!!!! LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF A HATER!!!! thank you chi for being so chi-rful!!! and reliable like i swear if there was a puddle in front of us during an excursion where we are walking in the direction to the ngv but not quite going to the ngv (its an art thing) chi would gracefully (grace reference 😆) kdrama-style lay a jacket she spawned from nowhere on the ground so our little shoes wouldnt get wet. guys i cannot think of a different word right now but i would like you to stop. OH AND THANK U CHI AGAIN FOR CARRYING US WITH THE CONNECT BOARD!!!! we did work hard (not me, sorry!) to make sure u wouldnt have to do as much heavy lifting this time 😭 but im sure we still need to pay (not me again 😆) the non-existent hospital fees (yay australia) for your broken back.. OH AND THE FACT U SPENT $99 ON ALICE LIKE WHAT!!! (i did not make that up a month ago and i did not just remember it now!!) yay chi!!!!!!!

thing #10: twitter

u might already know this but I GOT UNSUSPENDED FROM TWITTER!!! AFTER 4 YEARS!!!!!! THATS RIGHT IN 2020 omg you know how like when people say dead people’s names they are like bless their soul like “oh yeah i heard the queen say that once, bless her soul” we should have like the opposite of that for 2020. ANYWAY IN 2020, SCREW SCORE-SCORE, I WAS UNRIGHTFULLY SUSPENDED FROM TWITTER I LITERALLY INTERACTED WITH NOTHING BEFORE THIS!!!!!! OK LIKE THEY LIKELY THOUGHT I WAS A SPAM ACCOUNT BC OF THE NUMBER OF NUMBERS IN MY NAME BUT WHAT THE HECK I WAS NOT A SPAM ACCOUNT!!!!!!!! my respect in twitter as a whole plummeted the day the banned me. and thank god for that! i would hate to be a twitter addict when elon eventually runs it into the ground. x marks the spot (of burial) 😆 they didnt even tell me they unbanned me i like made a ticket and they just did it and i found out when they didnt kick me out of the page! so now i have a twitter account after hating on it all this time. i am kind of sad now that i dont have a good reason to hate on it anymore :( that was a joke. elon musk! elon musk is my good reason (not that he has any.)

i actually really like tres kawaii non desu ne. i think it encapsulates the essence of french and japanese outstandingly well! i also think that all football players should switch careers! but thats a story for another time. yes! this is the end!! omg minecraft reference 😆 i hate the end like its too dark and the ender dragons purple eyes arent big enough to distract from this darkness.  a reminder to get matrix!! and do this form if you have a tablet or ipad: https://forms.gle/9tHq9WgcEQMtYjuV8 !!!! thank you gang!!!

AWOOOOOOOO,

nicole (certified alpha) 

ps. omg guys do you think ppl refer to themselves as alpha whales. like genshin whales but more obnoxious yk.
