It's that time of year where I don't make resolutions. I look at my goal, change them if I need to, and see if I made progress toward any old goals. I haven't done it in a few years, because my lack of motivation/progress was pretty depressing. But gonna look closely this year.

(  TLDR: I'm reassessing goals, and those goals include getting out to see you people and meet others. )

mhari's father died shortly before Thanksgiving, and rainbowjehan is trying to raise money for her family with a fan fic drive. The information is all here at her journal. I don't know Mhari well at all--I met her back when Les Mis fandom was almost exclusively on the dedicated board on the site. Her family really needs this help.

Yesterday was interesting and sadly, not terribly fun. It was me and Cantropos's 4th anniversary, but we haven't time to celebrate. We mostly played a bit of Dynasty Warriors when he got home. We still can't get the last item at He Fei Castle. We killed all the officers we were supposed to last night, but missed something with the rams so no ( Read more... )

I dreamed I was in my childhood home in NC, visiting I hope. The house now belonged to the people we used to rent from and live above here in Rockford.

The water wouldn ( Read more... )

This is very hard to write.

I'm going to have to do something rather drastic to close a door to the past that shouldn't be opened again. This is something that is usually very hard for me under any circumstances. I can put toys and pictures and other things into a box and hide them away until they don't hurt, but i can't put away something that I ( Read more... )

I found candles, eventually, at the religion bookstore. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I haven't had a great couple of weeks. In ways that it's hard to talk about. Still, I suppose it's better than other Decembers.

Last night, I deleted a bunch of puppet journals: Gideon Prewett (it_took_five), Spyro (bratty_wings), Lucca (lucca_rowan), Rosier (thorny_beauty}, and Charles Jeanne (hero_of_julyI'm ( Read more... )

Generally, things have calmed down a bit. There's evidence the landlords are working on the hot water/cooking gas situation. The house stinks from all the icky floodwater ( Read more... )

There is definately something wrong. Everytime someone from DF contacts me on IM (and lately there's few other ways to reach me since I don't go on IRC much anymore), I get all tense and defensive because I think they're gonna yell at me about something. It's not fair! I have friends there. They can say hi for no reason, and they do, but I'm still ( Read more... )
