I am a sheep, and I follow. Now that I'm not watching a certain long-necked ruminant every hour of every day, I have the bandwidth available for the big transfer over to Dreamwidth. I will be trolling here and on Facebook for everyone who reads me to follow me on DW, and allow me reading access. It's not likely that I'll post there any more often ( Read more... )

Depression and anxiety doesn't let me do much these days. As previously reported, I rarely leave the house, rarely get out of bed. It's a conundrum, sort of. I'm able-bodied, for the most part, but not able to look for work. Since I don't look disabled, people don't believe there is anything wrong with me. Early last year, during the brief window ( Read more... )

It's been a year and several months since I last posted anything. Things were crap then, and they're a million times worse now. And it's all my fault. We've become so good at hiding how bad things really are, people don't believe me when I say that we are in imminent danger of becoming homeless. After all, I've been saying it for years- we could ( Read more... )

I'm due for a long-ish LJ post. It's certainly been a while. Not since before Wiscon. I had a great time at Wiscon, and yet, it was fraught with so many moments of social angst. While I managed to go to at least 10(!) amazing panels, what I was really there to do was see the people that are important to me. And to a large degree, I did that. But ( Read more... )

24 hours from now I will be on an overnight flight to Chicago, on my way to Madison. I'll spend about a week with the folks before Wiscon. I'm nervous about the flight, as always ( Read more... )

Months since my last confession, er, post ( Read more... )

That's the question I get asked whenever the subject of unemployment comes up. I've been out of work for five years. "Are you looking for work?" is the next question. And when I answer "no", I get the look. They don't say it out loud, but the look says "wow, you must be really lazy ( Read more... )

I read an article that was posted around Facebook recently, and I found it interesting. It talks about how Candy Crush is a scam, which it totally is. Nevertheless, I'm hooked, and I totally get why, even though I don't play like most people do. Anyway, the article:
Candy Crush is a scamOnce they started talking about other games, they lost me, ( Read more... )

I've filled up a sticky-note full of things I could post about on LJ, which will then get cross-posted to Facebook.

Sacbo, aka The Seattle Art Car Blowout, happened weeks ago. It was awesome, yet I still haven't posted any pictures from it. If it ever happens, it'll be in another post. But the gallery is HereLJ photo galleries are annoying, you ( Read more... )

There was a paper bag that we brought some leftovers home in, and it was sitting behind the recycle bin. I picked up the bag and went to put it inside the recycle bin, when something HUGE sprang from the folds of the bag, and dashed under the stove. I only caught a fleeting glimpse, but it was gigantic, black, fast, and had at least six legs. It ( Read more... )
