Still Alive!

Life has been very...strange recently. Nothing bad has happened, it's just that nothing really good has happened either. It feels like the emotions have gotten sucked out of everyday life. For example, the girl and I have had a lot of time together recently. We got a pedicure, made brownies, went to the library, rode bikes. All fun stuff. You

Personally, I can't often juggle reading books and living a full life because for some reason my brain can only process one or the other, so all sympathy for your current state of blah-ness.

I was thinking, though, it could work the other way- you may be reading more because you can't get excited about your life?

Wow, you may be right. I thought maybe it was too much computer exposure (LJ,etc), but I cut that down and immediately started reading like a fiend. Could be an avoidance of life. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've spent most of the year feeling like this; not happy, but not sad either. I guess I came to terms with it when I realised: "hey! At least I'm not full-out miserable!". I'm just hoping to return to normal soon, and very much hope you do too.

Urgh, totally get the lack of moderation thing. When I find something I like, I cram on it (and then usually get a kind of remorse when it's done; that's particularly true of books that I literally can't put down and then regret reading so quickly). If you find a 12-step programme to crack that, let me know ;)

You are right, it could be worse. I hope you feel better too.

I can completely relate to the saturating yourself into something and then wishing you hadn't. Too many times I've found an author I like and read everything I can find in a week.
