Not dead, just dumb

v3rucSoooo... I may or may not have forgotten my password shortly after creating this account. "But Veru, how did you forget it so quickly?" Well the answer to that is simple: I'm just dumb. Thought it was a different password than I'd actually used, couldn't log in, temporarily blocked my account, told myself I'd get back at it later, and with "later" I mean almost two months later, because life got hectic.
On the bright side, I'm back now and ready to continue yapping. I feel like there's a lot to yap about. I'll tell you guys what's been on my mind in later posts (assuming I won't forget my password, again); this one's just to announce my return. But I do want to include a bullet point list as summary of the past months though, because I love bullet point lists and I like sharing things. And it helps future-me remember what I wanted to write about.

- • The new school year has started this week. That meant an introduction week before the first lecture day, then the actual lectures, new professors and fellow students to meet, and a whole bunch of rather odd self-introduction sessions that none of us know how to handle. I think they decided to put all the awkward kids together or something.
• I recently moved to a different neighbourhood on the other side of the city. That means I need to get a new job, find a new GP (if I were feeling very sick, I'd have to travel for approximately 40 minutes divided over three tramlines to get to the old one, which I'm really not vibing with)(not that I vibe with travelling while sick at all, but still), find a new hobby clubs/organisation so I won't bounce off the walls and go insane during leisure time, and explore the new local stores. So far it's been... quite an adventure. Lots of unexpected encounters for better and worse, and still counting.
• Did I mention I have to do all of the above on my own? Moving out of my childhood home feels weird. After two decades of living under under my parents' roof and under their strict (and sometimes strange and straight up infuriating, but that's a story for another time) regime, I couldn't imagine any other life than that. And I find myself still unable to imagine it, as if they're gonna burst through my front door any second now because I'm not doing things the way I "should". But here I am now. Alone. Actually alone. And I hope I can equate that to freedom once I get the hang of everything.
• I bought a funky D&D dice set from a local board games shop (I freaking love that shop, but no way in hell that I'll buy a board game for 60-100 euros, I'm too broke for that) but unfortunately I have no one to play D&D with anymore. The old group I had kinda died out and I'm not sure how to go about finding a new one. But at least it makes me happy to look at my dice's funky colours. :]
• I've been trying to improve my improv skills, and since I don't have a D&D group anymore, I decided to move my roleplaying to a different medium: Minecraft. It might not be the most typical approach to the game, but if it's literally a fantasy sandbox, you can't expect people to not use it for roleplay too. I found a group that roleplays over voice chat, I think, but I'm still pretty new to it, so I'll keep y'all posted!
• I got a new haircut a few weeks back. Totally different hairstyle than I used to have, so I've been looking for new haircare products that work better for what I'm aiming for now. The internet has loads of advice, but all of them seem to contradict each other (heat good, heat bad; shampoo daily, no shampoo at all (also called no-poo, but that just sounds like you modify your intestines to avoid having to shit or something); gel, wax, clay, paste, pommade; shiny bad, matte bad;
