I like Saint Bernards. They’re so big. I like Maine coons. They’re so big.

Summer camp in grade school! Putting chopsticks into the mouth of a fish and pulling out its guts. That’s when I learned what life means.

My eyes are sensitive to light, and I need it to be completely dark to sleep. If I sleep during the day, there’s like a 90 percent chance that I’ll suffer from sleep paralysis.

I suck at Werewolf. Whether I’m a werewolf or a villager, I get voted to be hanged because I talk so much.

I asked my friend to help me out as an assistant, and it turns out they know my current assistant. What a small industry!

It’s been 350 million years since I said I wanted to get a cat. I’ve come up with a name already.

I had dried herring for the first time in a while. It would go somewhere on my full-course meal of life! Dried herring!

I keep forgetting to give my assistants the reference material, yet they return with amazing background art. I’m so thankful…

I went to a cat cafe and ended up having the whole place to myself. I had a cat toy, so I was very popular. Those kitties’ foreheads were so soft.

I drank Yakult 100 that helps with sleep along with a meal that causes poor sleep. I think the former won by a hair.

The MBTI test is a lot of fun! I ask around, and everyone has a rare personality type… Too many Advocates!

I need to eat a bunch of nutrients so my organs will be strong enough to handle those nutritional drinks.

Someone started talking to me, and I meant to take out my earphones but removed my glasses instead. I froze and tried to play it off with a serious face.

Seeing people in costume in the city is so fun! But seeing a No-Face from Spirited Away at night is bad for my heart.
