Today I learned there are 2 different types of ice cream cake. 1 is ice cream in the shape of a cake, the other is a cake made with regular cake with a layer of ice cream inside. I've only known 1 of them my whole life. Next birthday, I should see if I can try the other.

Nicole: Clamor Within The Silent "Mage," the Voiceless "Angel" #GenshinImpact #Nicole Many of the stories Nicole envisions begin with a phrase as old as stories themselves: "Long, long ago..." Perhaps, for some authors, "long ago" is less the threshold of a tale than a refuge from all further questioning. For once a story is consigned to unreachable distance, all the people and events bound up within it may as well have faded into obscurity, leaving no path by which the present might truly follow them back. And yet, in Nicole's thoughts, those stories of "long ago" endure still. Long ago, the lights of many nations filigreed the earth in gleaming gold. Long ago, the daughters of heaven wandered in carefree grace betwixt divine courts and mortal cities. Long ago, the sovereign of ages past, who had descended into deepest darkness, had not yet brought disaster back to his homeland. Long ago, the three radiant moons that hung aloft in the night heavens were still three... The years brook no pause, the wheel spinning onward all the same. Within a cycle emptied of hope, the spark of paradise perished alongside the lives annihilated. Servitors once loyal to their ruler turned traitor for the sake of the lives that had been fashioned. The black dragonlord returned from beyond the stars. The moonlit chariot of the heavens shattered like crystal... The story had not reached its end. Rather, it was those who had once read it, and those who had once listened to its telling, who had long since taken their leave. The angel who once longed to write laughter into the world lost all that had once made laughter possible. In the end, she even lost the voice with which she laughed, and could speak no more. Thus, it seemed that the story Nicole kept within her would never properly find its beginning. She could only go on cradling her many "long agos," roaming the world and watching as all things passed, changed, and were remade by time. That remained so until the day she met a tiny mage in an enormous hat, its extravagant brim tipped up with such pride it seemed almost ready to brush the sky. Compared with the hat she wears now, however, it was still a fair few sizes smaller. The little witch tucked herself down at Nicole's side and listened intently as one story after another unfolded, not stirring until she had finished her drink and emptied her bag of biscuits. "So you really are an angel? And all those stories were real, too?" "Then yay, that works! I'm a mage, and you're an angel, so we match perfectly." The merry little mage stretched out a hand to the angel who had come so far, all the way from those distant "long agos," and warmly invited her along. "Want to join my Hexenzirkel? I only just came up with the name, but it has a real ring to it, don't you think?" "It's going to be the funnest, awesomest, best club in all of Teyvat — I promise!" "..." No answer came from the angel. None could. But the little mage did not wait for one. She caught the angel's hand in both of her own and slipped the last piece of candy into her palm. "There. Now our mages' pact is made." Nicole had no thought of joining then, nor could she have guessed what this little gathering called the "Hexenzirkel" would one day grow into. But at the very least... It did sound like a place with happiness enough to spare.

I both did and did not rest as much as I thought I would today, but I got a little bit of a head start on my busy day tomorrow, so yay to the productivity I did do!

Always be careful that you know someone’s true intentions when they reach out & try to befriend you. Don’t get sucked in with the love-bombing, excessive gifts, constant “I can/let me help”. While there are genuine people in this world, it’s always just better to be cautious 💜

Finally got to hang out with some of my big friend group today. It's been a while and I missed them. This week was extremely busy, but it was worth making time for one more big plan this week. Gonna be a blob tomorrow.

Really bad at this "going to bed earlier" thing

Such a busy week, but I got a lot done. Got to celebrate my niece's 11th birthday today. It was fun hanging out with family, tomorrow I get to see friends!

The rest of this week is extremely busy so I tried to make sure I got everything I needed to done today. A couple tiny finishing touches on the days of, but I did everything I needed to on my list.

My friend bought me the Fitness Circuit game for the switch. I have been using it consistently for 4 days in a row. It feels like it is helping me build a routine. I feel like I've done a tiny workout even though it doesn't take too much time. Time to get fit! 💪

@mintytuber Let's go, queen!!!

SO MANY!!!!! RAAAAA

Tutorial Time! Can we finish all the simulation tutorials in Endfield before Genshin update is live? twitch.tv/drezell

She's alive! Tell me about your weekend! What did I miss? twitch.tv/drezell

Due to timing with my appointment I didn't have my regular morning stream today, but I ended up being very productive after I was done. This week is very busy, so getting a lot of stuff done today instead of throughout the week is going to be extremely helpful.

Had a Happy Easter celebrating with my husband, his mom, and my parents. Delicious food and some fun chats. Holidays are wonderful excuses to spend time with the ones you love.

@DPrincessAlice That sucks 😞 I hoped you can have a better day tomorrow, but RIP shoe

My shoe broke in the middle of town fml I swear everything is going wrong

Finalized appointment times, deposited check, paid bills, painted a door, got things ready for tomorrow, and exercised. Very productive day!
