Hello everyone! 
Time has flown by like crazy. My last post is already exactly a month old. But a lot
has happened since then. The first weeks of this year have been quite stressful. We
had a lot to do at work and if you follow
my graphic site you eventually already know that my colleague had the Corona Virus.
I was very nervous because I was worried that I might have caught the virus too
and I didn't want to pass it to the people I live with.
But luckily all my test results were negative. My colleague is also feeling better by now.
Somehow I felt out of energy all the time though and had to take things slow.
But despite all that I managed to finish a new website project of mine: my very first fan listing.
It's a fanlisting for the Pokémon Sceptile. Sceptile has been my favourite Pokémon ever
since the Ruby and Sapphire games came out. I wanted to create a fanlisting for a while now
and feel very lucky that there was no fanlisting for this Pokémon at TAFL (The Anime Fanlistings -
a collective for anime related fanlsitings) yet and that I was able to have it approved by them.
If you like Sceptile too I would be happy if you could join my fanlisting.
The only information needed for the registration are your Name/Nickname, eMail Adress and Country.
(The eMail Adress won't be shown in your profile if you don't want it to be shown.)
Besides that something else exciting happened in January. Someone that I met through a friend at
an anime convention a few years ago randomly contacted me on my social media
and we happened to talk about websites. Since this person runs a small convention
himself and didn't have a website for his convention yet he asked me to build
one for them. I told him that I'm no professional at website creating and only
do it as a hobby but he didn't mind. I love conventions so I was very hyped to build
this website for him. At first everything went smoothly, I had the layout and the
basic coding done quickly and he agreed that everything was fine at first. But
then he showed the site to some of the other people who run the convention with
him and they wanted things changed here and there and in a certain way.
I underestimated how difficult it can be to build a website for someone else and to
meet their expectations. My coding knowledge is very limited, I only know a little
bit of HTML and CSS. At the moment I'm stuck at creating a mobile version for the
website (haha mobile devices, my old enemy 
). I have never done that before. It will be tricky for me but I will try to make it work.
This is a good opportunity for me to learn something new. I already found some flaws
in how I usually do my layouts and was able to fix it for that website and will consider
that for future layouts for my own websites.
But before I continue to work on that site I'm planning to finally upload something to
my graphic site. I already finished a few graphics which I will add to the site
after this blog post. A new pixel set will follow as soon as possible too, but
these take a very long time to create. I have this week off so I will
see what I can get done, but I also plan to relax a lot (and play Animal Crossing
on my new Nintendo Switch ) to get some energy back. I couldn't relax yet because
in the last few days I had to get some things done first and I also had to help
my sick grandma. But she is feeling better now. 
Now to some topics related to this blog:
I changed the featured website in the "latest added" area to Jessica's website Sictaena Ethereal Goat. She
is also the first person who got an award from me. You can check out the award
in the "Awarding" section.
I also have my very first affiliate for this blog now: Suzy and her blog Redvelvet (linked on the heart
symbol in the affi area). Thank you for the affi request.
That's all for todays blog post. I hope you all are doing good and I wish you a nice evening.
Sincerely, Ran

and something to read. There I found it on a table with discounted books. I think
I found the second one a little later in a supermarket as well but I don't really
remember how I got the other ones anymore. I think my parents ordered them
for me online.
Online" for years, but I didn't like the last season that much. I'm also
dissapointed that "Swort Art Online: Progressive" will be just a movie
and not a whole series. 
But I will watch
it though and still love the older seasons. I especially have a soft spot
for Sinon's and Leafa's character design. Blue, yellow and green are my
favourite colors and I also love cats (i.e. Sinon's Alfheim version is love! 
).
But what else can I say? The "Super Sonico" anime wasn't too great, but
she loves cats and is kinda cute so I somehow ended up with way too many
figures of her, haha! I also loved to watch all kinds of music anime for a while. My favourites
were "Love Live", "Love Live Sunshine", "Bang Dream" and "Bang Dream 2nd Season".
As I already mentioned on my graphic page:
the customers were crazy around that time. So work had been very stressful, plus I also had lots of stuff on my To-Do-List which
needed to be done before chirstmas. Now my bf and I have put up a new shelf in the bathroom and spent the last few days
eating nice foods, playing
games and watching youtube videos all day. Yesterday I was somewhat bored so I even
made a spring layout for my graphic page already. I found a cool PNG of one
of my favourite characters of all time and was so inspired that I immediately
had to create a layout with it. Ofc I will keep the character and layout a secret for now so you have a little bit of a surprise 
when I release it. I would love to already
use the new layout but we are still in the middle of winter.
