Re introduction

ok. this has honestly been one of my weirdest years ever. there is just so much that happened. tons of good stuff but also tons of stressing shit.
i'll try to write it in an organized way but, since this place is basically my corner to dump random information on the internet, you shouldn't expect me to keep my word!.
i'll start with a re-introduction, since it's been so long since i updated this and since i wanted to give more info about myself. My name is Thorium, you can call me thorium, tho, t or basicalle wathever you want, but one of those would be prefered. As you may have figured out by now, my english is kinda broken! In real life, i'm a student from Argentina. That means i speak spanish. i don't know the accents tho..
I always loved computers, my mom taught me the basics and gave me her first laptop when i was a kid. Since then, i've been learning random tech-related stuff everyday!. Right now, i (luckily) have a new-ish laptop to do my stuff in. The old one only had like 700mb of ram and ran windows XP. I still love it though, i updated it a few weeks ago. (i will do a smaill update o that one!). I have many cats, seven of them. I used to have more but they passed away. The one on the banner is called "Santiaguito". he's the only male, he's a goofball and i love him so much.

start

This year was not as tough as last year in terms of subjects. I had to pass the Basic Common Cycle to start my desired career. Last year i did most of the subjets but i failed math and technical drawing. I truly hated that last one since my teachers were a bunch of assholes who wouldn't explain anything but whathever. I chose an intensive version of the subject and passed it in four months. I ended up loving it since the new teachers that i had valued art and creativity so much more that the ones before.
I was also doing math in those four months but since i was so busy with the final assigment of drawing, i failed the second exam, and the remedial exam as well. Defeated, i spend another four months doing things in math that i already knew how to do. i passed the subject without doing a final exam (that was like last week) but i don't really feel proud about it.
looking for a job is also awfully hard. I really wasn't aware of how hard it is to even get an interview this days. Currently i have applied to 120 different jobs. 105 were places where i went and gave my curriculum or sent it via Email. The others were online. Right now i have a small remote job as an Ai traineer, but it's not a good job and they pay me like 20 bucks if they even give me work at all.
So, in terms of life achievements, this year i got bically nothing., but it's not a good job and they pay me like 20 bucks if they even give me work at all.

The lack of motivation

This year was terrible in terms of personal projects. I have so many tht i want to do but i fell like i don't have time for anything. I wanted to start this blog entry 5 MONTHS AGO but my lazyass never even made the file for it. I really want to get better at drawing but i don't practice a lot so my drawings all look kinda odd. I know this are all skil issues on my behalf. but it's still terrible. I truly wish to finally get a job so i can put my life in order. Everything's been so hard since i finished high school and stoped being forced to follow a timetable.

the projects and inspiration

This one's good i swear. I'm currently doing an overhaul on the whole sit since it's been ages since i lat updated it. I'm learning 3d modelling by myself and i wanna make 3d models of my friend's OC'S so they can use them in animations and stuff. I think i finally found out what i like the most. I love 3d animation. I always liked the PROJECT DIVA series of rythm games and was always amazed at the high quality animations and stages on the music videos. It's kinda the reason i chose my career.
i'm also writing a story with my OCs to make my first actual game (i made some before but they were all kinda shitty). I really struggle connecting the different parts of the stories but it's been fun for now. I have like 30 ocs and their stories are all connected so it's kind of a fucking mess but who cares (i do).
I made a full switch to linux! i've been using it since last year but i stopped using windows all togheter this year. If you are interested, i'm using Fedora 42 Cinnamon edition because i like the Cinnamon desktop (it runs nice and come on, cinnamon is a sick name) and also because fedora is really easy to install and i had homophobia towards linux mint and zorin OS (i like men) I also learned a ton of stuff from people on the internet and on youtube!, i ditched visual studio Code for NeoVim (terminal program that i used to fear with my life). and it only wasts like 20 mb of ram which is crazy.
I learnt to record my screen with FFMPEG on the terminal and i also installed rofi to launch scripts easily. (i'm not a terminal addict but sometimes it's really cool to use and it's blazing fast and it has a nice colorscheme). I'm planing to save for a SSD for my laptop so it can be faster but i don't think i'll be returning to windows anymore. My only choice is windows 10 since i can replicate vista or 7's look on linux, 11 is shit and 8.1 is not supported anymore. At first i thought using linux was going to be a headache but it's easier than i imagined. At least here i can understand why a program is giving me an error.
i'm going to learn to use fl studio or a DAW because i want to be ble to create music. i love music, it inspires me so much. there's no better thing that listening to my 250+ song playlist and making random scenarios with my ocs and then trying to make them fit into the actual storyline. I'm also recording an UTAU with a friend. He already recorded his voicebank but i haven't found the time to record mine.
I started a small modded minecraft server to play with my friends. i love playing on it and it's really fun, i'm making a subway that will connect all our bases togheter. i really would like to make a minecraft lobby. I used to watch people playing on minecraft ps3 back when i was like 11 years old and i loved the lobby they had for multiplayer.

various good things that happened

I LISTENED TO ARTPOP OH MY GOD. I honestly can't believe i never thought about that before. Last year i started to listen to full albums with the goal of expanding my unified playlist and my taste in music. I listened to BRAT, The life and death of a midwest princess, my 25th century blues, AURORA's whole discography and more. But nothing could have prepared me for ARTPOP. I knew abot applause, G.U.Y and donatella from before, but one day while scrolling tiktok i saw one of someone doing the trend of being asked to play a song from an artist and then not playing the top 5 tracks of that artist. I literally heard 5 seconds of AURA and opened spotify. I told my trusted music and life bestie Moru so she could await my verdict and oh my god it was awesome. I only have 2 albums that i love from start to finish. One is Miracle Milk from Mili released in 2014, and the other one is this one.
ARTPOP was exactly what i needed, every song from start tofinish wasn't a song but an experience. i'd say my top trcks, but they keep switching. I also found out about the dozen of songs that were unreleased but that will go on a separate update, when i make the musi section on this site.

Me and moru are now artpop besties. I also bought the cd, it's the first and only music cd i've ever had, i love it.

My friends let me hack their wii and ps3, that was really fun since now we can play tons of new games and PROJET DIVA F2ND OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT GAME.

I got back to learning Japanese and chinese. I'm on duolingo for both but i use many other sources cause duolingo couldn't let me maintain a conversaion after like a year of it (i just use it for small practice.)

I made new internet friends and met them on one of my friend's birthday! they are all so fun and i'm so happy i'm making more friends outside of high school. My high school friends don't talk with me as much as before since they have their own friends so i wanted to make more. i love my friends so much.

i bought my first game! Minecraft Java! it was on promotion i'm so happy i love kpop.

i got my friends to listen to kiyo, and after being horrified for a while, it has become our default background noise for when we play roblox flee the facility.
