I suggest (in animal crossing) to just do things based on impulses, the game is made a lot more fun by doing that, I think.
As for the forums, have fun! Maybe find a niche of players who share other interests with you outside of Animal Crossing. There are PS4 fans, Wii U fans, Pokemon fans, and other groups as well!
Also, the fair is going on right now, I STRONGLY suggest you partake in it.
