I feel unwell

Probably would jump into a Charlie Brown movie so we could be depressed together. Or maybe something more upbeat and cozy, but have forgotten the name of every fun movie I've ever seen just now

I'd make a super dark chocolate bar stuffed with peanut or almond butter and sprinkled with cayenne or ginger cuz I need that heat

Thanks for the check in & for all you do

Thanks for setting these check-ins :)

1. how are you doing today?

Extremely sensitive. I've been like this for the past two days. It's like each emotion is a tsunami. It's a little overwhelming and I really hope it will slow down with time... I pulled myself out of some kind of deep fog earlier using my strength/my friends' care for me. It was heavy but now I feel better.

2. if you were to create something what would it be and why can also be more than one thing.

I'm wondering if that involves magic. I wish I could create magic like in the movies or books. Be able to create things from thin air.

Sometimes and on days like today, I wish I could create something to teleport all my friends around me in a halo and hug me for real. It would be better than having them hug me in my head (though that helps too) :)

If it had to be something real, I think I'd love to create so much art that at some point there is no way I don't organize a mini-display of it all :)

3. if you could transport into any movie or favourite game what would it be and why

If I say Harry Potter, is this a cliché haha? I love Harry Potter.

4.if you could make your own chocolate bar or any food item what would it be

I think it would be a gelato with topings right now. Free whipped cream. Sprinkles. Lots of colors :)

1. I'm well, thank you! I'm eager to motivate myself to get things done today!

2. I think today I'm going to make a letter and a painting for my Oma :)

3. Oh man, it'd be nice to live in the Shire...

4. I'd make a brand of high-quality chocolate coins that had a dragon theme to them! Maybe a whole line of dragon treasure chocolate!!!

1. how are you doing today

Awwwwwww! I love today's picture!!!! And I appreciate the effort you put in the check ins and answering every single one of us. Thanks 🙂❤️ I am doing fine. Good actually. I think I am really moving forward in my recovery lately. I have a lot of good days. Two of my friends and I have started a quarantine challenge: everyday we choose if it will be workout, where we videochat and exercise together, self care challenge, taking before after pictures, or art challenge, choosing a theme and show what we came up with at 8 pm. Which is great to fight perfectionism. It can be any type of art, from make up to dance or poetry, drawing, singing, sculpture, anything. Sometimes we make more than one challenge per day. It's a lot of fun.

2. if you were to create something what would it be and why can also be more than one thing.

I usually draw or craft stuff. I also like to write, but perfectionism completely blocks me at the moment

3. if you could transport into any movie or favourite game what would it be and why

SKYRIM. Right now please. Stunning landscapes, lots of nature, celtic world, magic, dragons, trolls, spriggans, ghosts, zombies and the possibility to make good use of all those awesome medieval weapons

4.if you could make your own chocolate bar or any food item what would it be

I don't know... Maybe some kind of cheese cake, or something that is truly both healthy and super tasty

@GhostlyLilian

thankyou i love waterfalls and thankyou so much and your welcome ❤️❤️❤️ thats amazing to hear too that challenge sounds so much fun

aww i understand that how i somewhat avoid the block is just dive in do a draft until happy with it doing more than one draft before finalizing an art piece is perfectly ok

LOL should have guessed mine would be elderscrolls online xd

mmmmm cheesecake is amazing

@CaringBrit

Aha! We have another estimator of the brand! Bethesda is so buggy, but still worth it. Although I am trying to stay away from video-games, and succeeding. Now my goal is to make them real as much as I can. Not meaning that I'll go around with a huge 2 handed hammer looking for trolls, just nature and Celtic stuff. Follow what really makes my heart beat and see where it brings me

1. I'm kind of low today. Very tired. My partner said I was tossing and turning all night.

2. I want to start writing again. I'm always hesitant to start and I don't even know what I want to write.

3. I've been watching Outlander and while I don't necessarily want to go to Scotland during the Jacobite uprising, damn do I want to go to Scotland. We were supposed to go this year, but the pandemic is making that look unrealistic.

4. I've been super into chocolate and pretzels lately. Maybe chocolate, caramel, and pretzels.

1. how are you doing today

I'm doing well! :) Just spent an hour on FaceTime with my friend (respecting the social distancing rule!) helping him prepare for his driving test next week.

2. if you were to create something what would it be and why can also be more than one thing.

I'm pretty sure this isn't unique or creative but I'd find a cure for cancer or HIV or any other disease that's affecting many people but doesn't have a cure. I guess that includes COVID-19 as well

3. if you could transport into any movie or favourite game what would it be and why

"Spiderman Far From Home"

4.if you could make your own chocolate bar or any food item what would it be

Probably a chocolate bar with fewer calories so you can still eat it as much as you want and not gain weight. I don't have that issues but many of my family members can't eat as many sweets or baked goods as they'd like because it makes them gain excess weight

Hand made toys for children to see them happy...

3. if you could transport into any movie or favourite game what would it be and why.

Oh there are so many...Zathura, Jumanji, Never Ending Story...Kisses...a universe of movies and games...

4.if you could make your own chocolate bar or any food item what would it be

Crumbling old toffee...

I'm doing alright, thanks staying safe and sane as possible. Even though what is happening in the world is unsettling etc... I wished my friend Jay from high school a happy "quarrantined" birthday he is 36 years old today. I also talked to my other friend Jen from elementary school online on Facebook today, just keeping it together best I can, chilling.

I think a virus vaciine/cure for Coronavirus would be really cool/helpful to make.

The Wizard of Oz (1939) one of my faves movie as a kid/now. It's just a exscape for me and it is a very relaxing movie idk why but I like it though.

Idk, some kind of Italian food or if a choclate something like a everlasting gobb stopper but in a chocolate like Willy Wonker or something lol.
