Welp, I'm a mod now. So fear me! Just kidding. Or am I? No I am kidding. I'm actually really excited about this. I think I had been asked to apply to be a mod during my first few months of being in the VHL but let's face it, I definitely was not ready. Am I now? I guess we'll see. I'm thankful and grateful that the mod team has let me join them and I'm looking forward to learning how things work. Right now I'm still getting my feet under me but I can be a quick learner. So obviously this means I'll be around a lot more. Well, hopefully. Life still happens but I think this is going to be good for me. It'll give me a chance to get to know some people with whom I have had very little to no interaction. And maybe I'll have the opportunity to just get back into the social aspect of this community. 163 words for week ending 5/4/2025

Just finished Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo. 2nd book in the Shadow and Bone series. Gave it a 4.5 stars. Really enjoyed it and despite the 3rd book being available on libby, I'm giving myself a few days before borrowing it. I think I need to read something a little less heavy. Maybe something about dinosaurs. Also I may have spent about 3 hours of my work day finishing the last 150 pages lol.

Hey @animal74, I finished A Gathering of Shadows last night (audiobook) and I enjoyed it more than the first book. Just had more fun with it. 4 ! Now just to wait a few months for the library to have the 3rd one available.

Getting back into the swing of things hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be. Got out a decent media spot and have been working on approving updates. Though I find myself slower to get back into the interaction part of it. I think I just got used to sitting on the sidelines for the last 4 months that it feels weird to just pop in and start chatting again. I posted in the locker room and that’s pretty much about it. Maybe when there’s something to comment on I’ll speak up in one of the few admin chats I’m in. One thing that happened which I wasn’t expecting was being offered a new job. Though I’m not sure if it’s a paid job lol. But a job is a job and maybe it’ll help me get back into being social and active. We’ll just have to see if the powers that be deem me worthy. 158 words for week ending 4/27/2025

Honestly, just wasn't for me. I had a few chuckles and the premise was interesting but I just couldn't get into the story or the characters.

My rating may be skewed due to the narrator, I'll admit. The world building I do very much enjoy. The second book has a male and female narrator and I am enjoying them more. So I think I'm going to end up rating book 2 a little higher.

Omg ya'll I haven't updated my reading since July. And it would seem I didn't read in August at all lol. It's so long I put it in a spoiler box lol. Get. Fucking. Ready.

I’m back! Did you miss me? Of course you did. Don’t ask who I am if you’ve never met me. I think an entire season happened while I was away due to work but I am back and ready to be a productive member of the VHL community once more! Until the next tax season rolls around at least lol. So, what has Ahsoka been up to while I’ve been barely earning and not really paying attention? Let’s look into it. Based on numbers alone (which is really all we are), Ahsoka seems to have had her best season yet. Most goals, most assists, and most points. Low end for her +/- but that’s okay. Overall, all her numbers are up. 16 goals, 51 assists, 195 shots, 6 game winning goals, and 8 power play goals. The only numbers she was down on were penalty minutes and hits, which is exactly what I needed her to do. Lowest so far and I am happy with that. Given that I didn’t build her as a fighter or a menace, I’m happy to see that she’s finally on lines with players who keep her focused on actually playing. Looks like once again she didn’t find herself on any of the leaderboards, but I supposed we can’t all be top 10 players. Though she is tied in 10th place for game winners so had the algorithm worked differently, she might have that number 10 spot. So in terms of the league, she wasn’t all that great. But I guess I’ll take personal improvement as a consolation prize. This was her 4th season so I’m hoping that as she gets further into her career, maybe we’ll be able to see some growth. I think I also may be approaching max build with her. I need to double check with my sources but I’m pretty sure I’m coming close to banking for depreciation. Makes me really happy that I worked my ass off prior to February to earn as much as I could in order to get here so quickly. I think a few more weeks and I’ll be there. As for Seattle, apparently, we made the playoffs? Fucking mint. In 2 games she’s only got 1 assist but I’m sure Bana has some strategy to try and get us as far as possible. Honestly I’m not going to worry about it too much. I always stressed over Jesse Teno because they were such a superstar but I think I’ve come to accept with my time away from the VHL that not every player I make it going to be a star. Not every player I make is going to make a name for themselves and be recognized around the league. And that’s the power of maturing. But seriously, I think I’m okay knowing that Ahsoka isn’t going to be the best or collect accolades. She’s still a great player who I have missed these past 6 weeks and I’m looking forward to getting to know her all over again. 505 words for week ending 4/27/2025

11. April 16th! My next day off! 12. Nothing at the moment, but I used to be obsessed with Bear Grylls and Dirty Jobs. 13. Amazing! Ahsoka still needs some work but I think she's really found her home. 12. I think we gotta play a little meta and find the best way to utilize our player's stats to have them play off of each other as best as possible. 17. Black out, no one talks about it, delete all the pictures. 18. His jock strap I hear is going for major bucks.
