I kind of want to do something fun + goofy on my arm. I have a fish wearing sneakers waiting to tattoo on myself and some cosmological tattoos too.

I really want to tattoo on my hands, but I have to wait to get more tattoos on my arms to do that. I am thinking that my next big piece might be a hip tattoo? Maybe an eel?

I also want to add a page to this site where I can display some tattoo flashes. If y'all want any, I could sell them. I like to make cutie tattoos of mushrooms and critters. I'd also be willing to make some custom work. Info will be on that page if I make it!

Banger of the day: A Horse with No Name by America + George Martin

Dinner: annie's mac (I eat it all the time)

I really want to do more coding stuff, but I'm about to be so busy with work and life things. My job is event-based and May is pretty packed for events. It means more money for the garden tho so it's okay. There's some fun not-work stuff coming up, too. In an area of Minneapolis, the art studios open for a weekend and artists sell a bunch of stuff. It is basically a bar/brewery crawl nowadays, but it's still fun. It's the big event in the city.

Banger of the day: Will I See You Again? by Thee Sacred Souls

Dinner: idk

I forgot to post the photos I took of the clouds on that stormy day. I had seen some really cool Mammatus and Asperitas clouds. I have definitely seen Mammatus clouds before, but I've never seen them that well defined. The camera definitely added more contrast than I was actually seeing with my eyes, but it's still looked pretty close to that. Man, I love weather.

Added:

♥ mug collection under collections page

I'm thinking about making a page for some free Procreate brushes that I've made, and maybe another page of my favorite cocktails to make? Thinking about it thinking about it..

update on the yellow sac spider situation:

My desk is overrun with yellow sac spiders. The first one I saw had a messed up leg, so she's a little scared right now. I'm letting her live on my desk as long as she needs cause she's very sweet.

There's another spider that is a rascal. It keeps running around so fast. I feel like I'm seeing things out of the corner of my eye. It's kinda big, too. Idk if I like him, but he can stay if he chills tf out.

Ok byyyee

Added:

♥ new about page layout w/ links on some blinkies + all buttons (there's a hover animation!)

Anyone else update a page and they have to clear their cache for the CSS to work? Sometimes, I don't have to, but other times, I do. It's weird and annoying. Oh well, though.

Banger of the day: Ain't No Love in Oklahoma by Luke Combs cause hell yeah storms and hell yeah I love Twisters

Dinner: idk yet maybe grilled cheese mmm grilled cheese

I haven't been awake this early in months. I kinda don't know what to do with myself. What do people do this early in the morning? I feel kinda withered idk if I can get anything done.

I am kinda sad that the storms missed me last night. I was really amped for some crazy shit, but oh well. My garden and house are intact I guess lmao.

Added:

Banger(s) of the day: embedded playlists

Dinner: idk

Yellow sac spiders confuse me, sometimes. I can be chill with most spiders, but I really can't read the body language of yellow sacs. One was in my shower late at night (creepo watched me shower), and I managed to piss it off enough for it to do a threat posture. All I did was move the shower curtain! I had things to do! Most spiders don't threat posture either. Arachnids with the huge fangs do it a lot more than normal house spiders.

Anyways, I had another yellow sac crawl around my desk this morning. It was a little sweetie pie. Poor thing was missing part of its leg, so it walked funny. I tried moving it around with a soft paint brush so I didn't accidentally crush it. I also didn't want it on me because yellow sacs will bite. Not that their bites are that bad. I just don't want to be itchy. It walked in circles on my desk, and it would play dead if it was scared instead of a threat posture. Eventually, it disappeared under my desk. Another thing that yellow sacs like to do is fully vanish. I have no idea how they do it. They just disappear sometimes.

Anyways, drawing is kinda fun again. I've been doing more of it. I've been vibing with the lepidodendron a lot today.

Mood: so tired

Banger of the day: now i'm in berlin by Sgarz

Dinner: mm big salad

It's not uncommon for me to crave a ciggy even though I don't smoke, but MAAAAN the craving is BAD today. I either want a ciggy or get so stoned.

Okay time to nerd out cause this is cool and imporant to me.

So, tomorrow looks weird and freaky weather-wise for me. Bad to say that I am excited, but I'm always excited for turbulent weather. From my (very amateur) understanding, the storm setup is dubious yet juicy. Meterologists I trust found the models strange, and there are some strong signs for a tornado outbreak. If no tornadoes, then pretty bad hail at the very least. Scary, but I love it. The convective outlook from NWS is pretty intense, too.

I might shit bricks if I see Reed Timmer in my neighborhood. He'll probably be in Wisconsin, though. I also don't live in an area with a radar gap, so I won't see a DOW. Sad.

Pray for me, y'all. It might be crazy or it might be nothing! We never know until it happens!

Today's Song: gΕΕn light㊜ by Iwakura + frontrooms

Dinner: anything i can find

I'm feeling like drawing a lot today. I haven't had this feeling in a long time, so it's nice. I'm gonna take advantage of it before I gotta leave for Revenge of the Sith in theaters.

Otherwise, not much today. I'm just tired.

Today's Song: Right Side of my Neck by Faye Webster

Dinner: squash ravioli w/ butter sage sauce

I did this awhile ago (like Monday), but I bleached some streaks into my hair and made it a wolfcut or whatever the kids call it. I'm super digging it. I think it's so fun, but I did forget how hard it is to tie up when I have short layers.. and sometimes I need to tie my hair up for like work..

I keep having vivid dreams. Not necessarily bad or good dreams either. Just strange and vivid. Like, this morning I fell back asleep for an hour and dreamt that I was wandering the Mall of America. This version was one long strip (instead of a loop like the real one) and there was a clothing manufacturer in it. I watched Bebe Zahara Benet (RuPaul winner and friend of mine) get knighted?? Idk man it's crazy. I also dreamt that I had a really good piece of toast in bed. Imagine "toast" said in a thick Minnesotan accent cause I physically cannot say it normally. I'm not sure what's going on. My dreams have just been strange, and I usually do not remember my dreams. I am entertained by them, so it's okay.

I'm looking forward to today's rain. It'll be good for the seeds I planted in my garden. I did mess up tho. I have forgotten what I planted where AND the radish seed packet broke so the whole bed is gonna have radishes. Anyone want radishes???

I'm gonna be working on a page for my garden today. I don't think it'll be up for a bit because it'll be kinda intense, but it'll come eventually! I put something up rq. The idea I had was too ambitious for a baby-coder like me. I'll come back to it sometime tho!

Added:

♥ quick garden page w/ my own background

goodbyyyyee

Mood: going through it

Today's Song: Blue by Lychee Juice

Dinner: idk my stomach hurts real bad

I'm feeling not that great, but I'll be okay. I kinda just wanna disappear from the world not in a harm myself way, but like disappear into the woods way. I just have this extreme urge to be alone and not talk to anyone. On top of that, I am just so exhausted. Apologies to those that know me. I just feel a bit fucked up rn.

There's the world's largest wasp in my office rn, and idk what to do. It sounds like a helicopter when it flies wtf. I'm not scared of wasps when they're outside, but when they're in MY HOUSE I lose it. I don't want it stinging me out of frustration. Killing it also seems precarious. I'm so scared rn, but all I can do is coexist with it.

maybe some drawing or a long walk will fix me.. i hope and i hope this wasp just disappears.

Update: The wasp situation has been dealt with.

Song with da vibe rn: Chateau (Feel Alright) by Djo

Doing some fun updates and the outside air smells good.

I'm currently working on adding a page for my EDC, watches, and pocket knives. You will find them at collections when they're uploaded! After that, I'll be adding in my own handmade backgrounds! Patterns are one of my favorite things to illustrate, so I want to do that as much as possible! Once I get my garden going too, I'll make a page for that. I got some fun plans for it, and I'm hoping that the rain isn't as bad as last year. I had some pretty flavorless radishes and tomatoes with blight..

ok luv u

checking back in at 12am

Added:

♥ EDC page

♥ knife collection

♥ watch collection

I'm not sure what is happening with my collections page rn, but it's a bit broken. I'm hoping that it just needs time to update because the CSS is updated and all there. It worked perfectly on my end before I uploaded the file. Not sure what's happening, but I'll check in on it again tomorrow. Fixed it!

Also, I tried this new spray, and it's making me SO itchy. I'm like dying rn it feels like a bad sunburn, but I think it's supposed to feel like this because it's drying out the skin. How am I gonna sleep

Upload Day

I think it's finally the day that I make this site public.

I have been working on it for weeks, and I feel like I could still add a bunch of stuff. I'll make those things future updates. Now that I am mostly done with this site, I can draw again. I kinda can only focus on one creative thing at a time, and this took over my entire brain. It didn't help that I had to learn coding, so it took longer than it should have. It was still so fun :))).

To add or fix in the future (probably soon):

♥ digital sketches

♥ more collections

♥ redo trinkets page; make it cuter

♥ fixing favicons

♥ drawing tile backgrounds myself

smooches for u, goodbye

Hello!

This is where I'll be posting about updates and blabbering!

If there is anyone out there that can tell me why I cannot get the favicon to work on only one page, I will kiss their forehead. The path to the gif file is correct. The exact code is copied and pasted onto the other pages, but it only works on the main navigation page. Let me know at garfriendyay@gmail.com cause I've searched everywhere for any answers. If there is anything else that's broken, let me know at that email, too. I am so new to coding. I WILL be embarassed, but I'll get over it.

Bumblingbats has helped me out with the favicons. What a goat fr <3

Anyways, thank you for being here
