Wow I am still exhausted. I dunno why. Got a full sleep – and woke up feeling refreshed. I dunno why I’m sitting here yawning and about to crash out.

I better wake up, I’ve got Phasmo with Rainbowwaffles tonight and I don’t want to be late. Before then I’ll be on Warframe too, even though the drops dont start until tomorrow. I do just love streaming.

Oh! Grabbed Warhammer 40k Darktide today and was playing with AlchemicalCowboy. May have to see if they will collab it with me.. next week? This week is pretty damn full LOL

Ok short one today, I’m beat. Love ya! 💜 -Tan

Sorry I missed blogging yesterday, but I’ve been having a hell of a time going to sleep and getting up like a normal person.

I know I know laugh it up, incorporating breaks seems like such an easy and boneheaded thing to overlook but I do it all the damn time. I will just hyper focus until my body gives out.

But likewise, now that I’m super enforcing getting up every two hours – I cant freakin’ sleep! I have too much energy!! Even right now I’m running on like 2 hours of couch nap. I fully intend to get more before.. not streaming tonight? I dunno yet.

I built a timer and gave partial control to the mods, so we will see how that goes. It’s literally just a 2 hour countdown. But hopefully it keeps me honest.

Hope your week is going spectacularly! Love ya! 💜 -Tan

So I learned that the quasi pepe replacement emotes called Froogy was created and maintained by a non-binary streamer, so hey – I re-added BTTV to the channel. I mean it was still there, we still had to have peefus after all.

So – I’ve added most (not all) of the Froogy emotes and some gif jigglers from other emotes I had at one point. I like it. It feels a lot nicer.

Also going through and re-vamping my Twitch Rules, thank you Grem for the idea. And – having to separate off my music from the VODs again. Pretzel is getting copyright hits. *shrug* I like it too much. This amount of risk I can handle. Pretzel is providing it so the chances of THIS music getting a live strike is much much lower – which granted at the moment we don’t KNOW what the risk is since there’s not many times that live strikes happen – and they happen to channels much larger than mine anyway.. for now.. until the bots catch up.. ugh.

Well anyhow, love your faces! I’m enjoying the longer streaming! I hope you are too! We did marbles for the first time in forever last night! Might do more! Love ya! 💜 -Tan

So it seems like all it takes is ENFORCING taking a stand up break every 90-120 minutes and I can go a lot longer on stream. Did almost 9 hours last night and really enjoyed it!

This could be dangerous when the holidays are over, but I will just need to also enforce going to bed at a normal time. This does come after being up until 4am like a lunatic 😂

Felt pretty cute today. First time in a while, although.. for most of my life that wasn’t a thing. Why don’t men ever feel cute? I think it’s literally beat out of them. It’s sad.

I mean not cute enough to do a face reveal or anything but if someone were to HIT that goal tomorrow I wouldn’t be upset about it.. *side eye* hahah

In any case, yes, I know it’s toxic to say ‘streaming longer is better for growth’ but fuck it really feels like it is. It’s NOT but it FEELS like it is. Let’s see how long this lasts. Love ya! 💜 -Tan

I’m not sure why.. ok that’s a lie, I know exactly why. I’ve been staying up late to hang with friends. I’m not used to like.. having friends? Much? I am crying happy tears so much lately, I can’t believe this group of people that actually wants me to spend time with them and enjoy their company. So yeah, I try to stay up as late as I can lol

I need to be more responsible with my bed time though, once I’m back to working full time after the holidays. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. I’m so ready to just retire and skip mornings forever. hahah

I’m *not* a morning person. At all. I could wake up at noon forever and be fine with it. Any socially acceptable interactions I need to have I can do after lunch. Post office? Bank? Most of that shit can be done online, but if there’s something that absolutely requires my presence in meatspace, it can be after lunch. Anyway, more tomorrow. Love your faces!! 💜 -Tan

I’m actually pretty proud of myself. I’ve spent some time these last couple weeks improving the systems and tools I use to produce content and notify everyone – specifically this blog, removing and re-integrating Twitter so that it’s a modular thing that can be replaced instead of a lynch-pin, and re-working the website. I’m happy with it.

The next task I’m tackling is my schedule. I’m not content to do the power-point cookie cutter looking schedules. I have enough skill I think with the tools to make a stand-out graphic every week – I just keep forgetting to do it, since it takes time. I think I’ve finally gotten ahead of it.

The biggest challenge has been dealing with it being in multiple places. Now that I’m putting it on the main page of the website, I can just toss it up on Discord and put it here and call it done once a week. Getting it done ahead of time has been great too!

So, talking about schedules – next week I’ll be collaborating with RainbowWaffles TWICE – Tuesday I’ll be playing DRG modded and Thursday is the return to Phasmophobia! I can’t wait, these streams are going to be so much fun!!

I do still love Warframe, but I have to diversify. And I need to be getting better sleep. Anyway that’s another blog entry.

Ok I’ve got a lot to cover so I’m going to be brief.

First up – I’ve fixed the quotes, and added 200 or so that I was able to scrounge from an old chatbot; the Mods (thank you so much, crew) were able to help me clean up the list, delete ones that were no longer appropriate, nuke deadname and get it all consolidated. Our favorites (quotes 1, 12, 42 and 69) are intact and ready to be used. I’ve also re-instituted the bot running !quote on a timer so we can have a free giggle every so often.

Spending a lot more time on the bot made me realize, finally, it’s almost been a year WE NEED TO RENAME IT. Here’s a link to a tweet, put your ideas as a reply, ok?
https://twitter.com/Tanandra_/status/1600926031577174016

Tonight – I’ll be on Warframe as we warm up and wait for RainbowWaffles to be available.. and we may have a little surprise for you.. *evil grin*. You will want to have Rainbow’s stream open as well as mine..

Ok I think that covers it. Help me pick a new name for the bot, and be ready tonight for something new. Love ya! 💜 -Tan [!quote 1]

Yep it’s hump day! Well, or Wednesday. Which I still haven’t seen because I don’t have Netflix. Honestly I can really only pay for one streaming monthly service without feeling guilty and Disney+ has been the most bang for my buck. Of course there’s still Amazon Prime Video and.. oh yeah I pay for Discovery too because me and Draco can’t get enough of home remodeling shows.

It is going to suck when I have to go back to work full time. I like this time of year because I can take a lot of time off and when I’m “working” it’s so dead I can just do all the content creation administration work (like writing these blogs as an example!) during the day.

I wish I could do this full time instead of the job I don’t like. I wish I could just retire or win the lottery. I’m sure a lot of you do too. Ok. Enough whining from me today! -Tan 💜

Well that was short lived. LOL! Yep, I’m back on Twitter – however I do have a new perspective for it and I’m changing how I’m using it.

I just did a lot of work cutting it out of my life and routine, so I plan to keep it this separate, modular thing in my life now; instead of this impossible-to-remove tumor.

Twitter used to feed into things for me, now the opposite is true. This blog, Twitch and maybe something else in the future will feed into twitter, not the other way around. Aside from supporting my friends and replying to tweets (which I am making an effort to slow down on), Twitter will be useful as a notification service for me and hopefully for you. I’ve re-built my bots and images for it and re-linked twitter here on the homepage.

What’s surprising to me is that for the most part – no one unfollowed UNTIL I CAME BACK like.. wtf people are weird. I almost feel like I should have started over from scratch. But whatever. Number go down. I gotta get better at dealing with that. Anyway, I hope you have a marvelous week! 💜 -Tan
