(no subject)
So. I haven't posted in a bit, let alone made a public post. Let us see what I can do to fix that, yes?
I am 24 now, birthday quietly came and went, just the way I prefer. GF, my fiance, is still not back in the country. He's been gone well over a year and it makes me very sad to talk about it, so let's not. We speak over Ventrilo daily, about the only thing that keeps me sane.
The cats have grown. Well, Teeny has grown. He's enormous, monstrous. Very furry and very cuddly and still an intrepid explorer. Victor is still my skittish little ratty thing, grumpy and aloof. Until something upsets him, in which case he clings to me like it's the end of the world.
The original dogs my parents owned are all dead now, but they have recently adopted a 2-year-old dog called Arnie. He's a Shetland shepherd (think Lassie) crossed with border collie. Very sweet animal.
I'm still living in my two-bedroom flat, which has devolved into a complete mess as I don't have anyone else to hold me responsible. I'm paying my bills off in time and being careful as I can with money, but that doesn't leave much to save afterwards.
I still cook. I still bake. This week has been muffins. No pictures, I'm afraid.
I still read an awful lot. Currently re-reading The Princess Bride, recently finished a number of books on forensic pathology and various communicable diseases. I don't know what I'll read after this, I have an unfinished biography of Mary, Queen of Scots sitting on my desk glaring at me so I suppose it'll be that. I have an active library membership again, so I can actually borrow books instead of skulking in the stacks, devouring what I can. My current online reading material is cleolinda's Secret Life of Dolls, which entertains me far more than it should.
I still don't watch television. The last movie I watched was, I think, The Watchmen, which I thoroughly enjoyed but cannot, now, remember much of.
I haven't discovered much in new music recently, silence seems to be more appealing at the moment.
I don't remember the last time I left the house for anything besides buying food and visiting my parents. It doesn't bother me. I've stopped sleeping with the lights on. I feel better about that, and my electricity bill is lower as well. I am not currently on medication. I haven't been able to make myself to go back to the doctor for more. I'm still deeply unhappy, unsatisfied and afraid. But I'm coping.
The weather hasn't been particularly cold recently, but I'm spending most of the time with the heater going and slippers on my feet.
I have new mobile phone. It's still quite shiny and I don't understand it very well yet. I do have a Twitter account. My online presence has not really expanded much recently. I still play far too much WoW, but I think I'm improving at it. My current active characters are Xll, Iily, Iizzy, Deliria and Ailura. I enjoy them, though I do not spend as much time doing things that I would prefer to. My guild is doing well, and my guild mates are, for the most part, perfectly nice and reasonable people.
I have very little else to report. I'm still boring, I still miss my fiance terribly, my cats are fine and I am coping. That's all. There's nothing else.
