BTW has anyone else noticed an *extreme* slowdown of their services in the past year-ish? Like, to the point where only one person in a two person household can use the internet at a time? :/ *sigh*
Basically, I was nervous until March, and I've spent since then trying to convince the internet that no, I actually want to get on. If you want to talk to me, gchat/hangouts/whatever that stupid thing is called is probably your best bet, because there's no guarantee that I can answer email without kicking us off the internet either :/ You'll have to leave your gmail in comments, since mine's my IRL name and I'm not having it on my DW/LJ, thanks stalker dad.
Anyway, as fate would have it, I'm up and the boyfriend is still awaking up, and I am barreling past my stupid anxiety disorder to get on this while I have a chance and I'm at home.
The past six months have been fun! We came out of probate finally in like, late January, so we've been selling all of our dearly departed's massive pile of junk cars to buy our bread, WE FINALLY HAVE TRASH PICK UP, and we've spent a lot of time and effort fixing our A/C.
Besides that, life has been kinda slow? I wrote some, haven't really been able to podfic because it's too hot, I've done arty bits in the hopes that that would help some, lamented about the fact that I can't afford healthcare, and basically have been using the precious internet time I have on Duolingo (majoline) which has been interesting. It's pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good. I've been really getting back into comics and books.
I've been on ello too! Also majoline, and I've been trying to update it once a day as practice to come back on here.
I hate hate hate anxiety disorders, because I've turned into this person who can barely do anything without risking fainting and it sucks. I'm not even anxious about anything in particular, just. I look at things that need to be typed and I start shaking. It is so completely awful.
Currently I flit between a couple of fandoms, but not seriously. Memekon has me watching sports anime with her and the bf dragged me to Kingsman which has better than I was expecting from the previews, and I'm hooked on earlgreytea68's
Next Big Thing, otherwise I don't want to fight the internet enough to try to get on, sadly. I am honestly debating about buying another phone line and getting a separate internet connection because this sucks.
We live all the way out in the country and not being able to get on means I get no human contact at all and *sigh* as much as Bejeweled 3 has kept me from going too cabin fever, it's not really enough.
...anyway, I need to end this before he gets up and I lose my Duolingo streak from getting kicked off the internet.
