This is an idea I've had for maybe a week or so: with how messed-up everything has been for the last few months, I thought it might be fun to talk about what our favorite memories from this ongoing time have been. I guess we'll go back to whenever the COVID virus started impacting you--since that could be different for everyone, there's no definite start date.
The only real rule for the thread (outside of the usual site ones) is that the topic(s) you discuss must be something that genuinely made you happy (rather than something facetious/sarcastic/tongue-in-cheek/etc.).
The time that comes to mind for me was sometime before I started work on my song contest entry (which I gave most of my free time to between then and the deadline). I was being serious about studying a music theory book at the time (have been getting back into that, or at least related studies since), so I'd spend as long as I could in the evenings reading it with a notepad in my lap for notes. I have one of those Miku noodlestopper figures sitting across the room, and every once in awhile I'd look up at her in the soft light of the only lamp I had turned on and think that this would all eventually lead to me making something decent someday.
When I wasn't studying theory, I was often reading Percy Jackson. I remember on one particular night, when I couldn't take theory anymore, snacking on pretzels and peanuts while venturing into Auntie Em's Statuary Emporium (or something like that), with the hyper-realistic sculptures, Grover's flying shoes, and another of Percy and Annabeth's frequent little spats.
