Dipping my toe in
(LOL When joining communities that requires actively using one's LJ account, it may be helpful change default entry privacy off of "Just Me".)
Facebook stole me away. It was too easy. I didn't have to write anything meaningful, just a few words. Coming back to LJ, I feel exposed. It's been nearly two years since I spent time actually typing on a computer - usually it's just click-click-click.
I always have a lot going on in my head. I got to the point I was afraid to share it. I easily offend people, especially with the brain damage - I often don't even know what I've said or done that was offensive. When I ask for explanation so I can avoid a repeat, it seems that just pisses people off more and I don't get real answers.
I'm tired a lot lately. These last 3-4 months have been really trying for me. Just when I had picked things up in my life and was on my feet again, I got completely and totally financially screwed over by someone I'd thought for years was a friend; I ended up homeless and back in debt. So, pack & move, couch surf, move & unpack and then... monsoon season starts, triggering a serious flare and keeping me in bed and misery for another month or so. It's been months since I went out dancing. I don't even see bf that much lately.
Now WOW has stolen me away. My new housemates got me started about two months ago. I thought I had a general idea about the game but, OMG, it's much much more involved than I could have ever guessed. It's probably a good thing I hadn't been introduced to MMORPGs years ago; I've had several roommates deeply involved in MMOs over the years. But lately, having something to do while bed-ridden has been a blessing.
Since WOW was mentioned, I know I'll get a few queries. For the first three weeks, I just played various types on the trial account to get a grasp of the game but now I've got real toons going. Here's what I got:
Troll Feral Druid, lvl 71, on Galakrond.
Forsaken Demonology Warlock, lvl 31, on Feathermoon.
Honestly, I still don't know enough about what I'm doing to give anymore info.
I've still got a lot I want to write out, write about, but I don't see it all getting out of my head quickly. It's going to take me a little to get over my LJ shy after having been away for so long. But I miss the connection. I don't connect with anyone on FB, it's too shallow. I've isolated myself over the past couple of years and it's done me no favors.
