Today was... drastically unplanned. Actually, that is the story of the last two days, really, I think -- last night I had to choose (with a gross amount of emotion that I hope I can ascribe to spiritual exhaustion + lack of meds) between going to a mall in another town with my mother and sister, going to my weekly coffeeshop open mic night, or ( Read more... )

Here is a picture that aptly summarises my pre-weekend.

Hello, internet! I have been busy and distracted with AWESOMENESS and have not been telling you about it! This should be remedied posthaste! (I have been telling Twitter and Tumblr and my mother in spurts because there I can narrate in little bursts as things happen and needn't settle down to describe everything, and since everything has been ( Read more... )

HIIII INTERNET. I MISS YOU A LOT BUT I AM HAVING AN AWESOME TIME DOING AWESOME THINGS like following pigeons around SHUT UP I MAKE MY OWN FUN. Am perhaps slightly high on travel because I bloody love flying and airports and everything that goes with them, especially when something seems to have dissuaded the TSA Goon Squad from coming in today ( Read more... )

To try to keep myself posting: nicked some bookly questions from such_heights! Because books are always relevant (and also don't insist on me being introspective when I am tired and fuzzy-brained, yay).

The book I am reading:
A Game of Thrones, which I am really enjoying despite having the feeling that 300 pages in the pieces are still being set in place and ( Read more... )

Today's a dark and rainy day; through the windows it already looks like dusk although it isn't four yet. Normally I would be Extremely Bothered about this, but today's too cosy for me to grudge it a little dimness. Anyway my fairy lights are so lovely and bright and my lamp glows redly through the brocade lampshade and I love the sound of rain and ( Read more... )

So, my headspace has been largely pretty rotten of late, and I'm coming down with a Death Cold (so far: just an irritation in the sinuses and a bit of sore-throat-low-lung-capacity nonsense but also DEBILITATING EXHAUSTION which never leads to anything positive) and I'm so behind on NaNoWriMo that if I look at how many words I have to write to get ( Read more... )

this is just to say
that I have eaten all the cupcakes
and will probably feel squashy forever

also I haven't posted
in far too long

forgive me
the internet is so vast
and my brain so disorderly
and so procrastinatory

WHAT EVEN IS MY BRAIN.

Um.

Anyway: yeahhhh, there's been a fair bit of radio silence hereabouts, mostly because Not All Is Well In The State Of ( Read more... )

Hello, denizens of Eljay! My holiday was lovely, just the sort of magical sojourn one needs to have at least once an October. The only downside was that the star-watching was not ideal. It has been far, far too long since I have been to a place far away enough from electric lights that one can see real stars, when you feel as though you are turning ( Read more... )

You know, I thought I had read through the flist a day ago, but apparently I had not checked in five days? I don't even know, you guys; I am so sorry. And I promise that this is more indicative of my mental state (ADHD-y and having trouble focussing in general) than how I am drifting away from LJ (I'M NOT! My best friends are here!). And that I  ( Read more... )
