Hi, hello, howdy, hey there, and h-welcome!

I guess "hiya" would also work as another h-way to say hello... Anyways! This week is Sunshine and Smiles week! And, frankly, that's probably how every week should be. I want your cheeks to hurt from being up all day with those grins and to tan, freckle, burn, and peel from all of that exposure to the sun! (Please don't forget to use your SPF so that no pain comes to you when you soak up the joy. I don't mean for y'all to really suffer!)

I'm going to try and write up a little somethin'-somethin' over the next few days in between my classes and watching the GB staff Extra Life stream, which should be totally rad and helps the kiddos! So supporting everyone who is participating this weekend either with your kind words in the chat or a charitable donation would be hella cool of ya! (If you're interested in what the community does for the event, you should probably visit explosiveruns.com, too! It's a good time. Be sure to thank @chaser324 for it, btw. Dude works hard, man!)

I know I did my own Extra Life stuff on the 18th and had a pretty good time. A lot of Pix The Cat was played and I think that's my favorite game ever oh god it's so cute I can't stand it and I just spent so much time gushing over it. I focused mainly on PS4 games and had a blast. Managed to pass my goal of $200, too! :D I had a few stretch goals as well which will still be totally valid if I can manage to get $500 before the year is up! (And I'll donate my hair to charity. (:O!!!))

There are a lot of local Halloween festivals going on this weekend, too. Oh shit, and a party with friends that I just remembered. The 25th is going to be a busy ass day for me. (That and some of my instructors keep pushing back midterm projects and my attention is all over the place. I think this is what it's like to be a hummingbird. Shit's stressful!) But it'll still be super fun! I know my boyfriend wants to do his own little marathon for Extra Life in the next few weeks, too, and that'll be more entertainment for me to look forward to. :D

I'm pretty stoked about being this busy, it's been a long time and it'll be good to shift my focus and I hope you guys and gals out there in the mythical world of cyberspace get to take some time to enjoy yourselves, too! October is a dope ass month filled with so many wonders.

Anyways, I derailed a bit. Extra Life is rad, kids are cute, and October is a pretty cool month. I'll finish this by asking:

What games do people plan on playing or hoping to see this weekend?
