oh hi
I miss LJ/DW and I miss semi-regular blogging (and I think it's good for me, because I keep writing diaryish bits and pieces in the notebook that is supposed to be for writing, ha) so I'm going to try to be around a bit more the second half of this year. And also, just to be a bit more present and involved in my whole actual life. ( Read more... ) -
New Year's Resolutions

2012
2012 was a weird year.
The lows were really, really low. Like, seriously, this year probably contains about two or three of the worst moments of my life ever.
But the positives were pretty great, if sometimes sparse. And I'm ending in a much better place than I begun the year.
So. Here's to the upswing continuing in 2013.

Hello
I'm home. Aaaaah.
I don't have an advent calendar (yet? I hope) but the Christmas music has been cracked.
Another year, another failed Nano. But, I feel really good about myself anyway - I wrote more this year than in previous years, despite also having a not inconsiderable workload and generally having a lot of other stuff to do. I wrote so much ( Read more... ) -
Recent Music
So I have been listening to lots of new music lately. Well, some of it is only new to me, but hush.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

On tenterhooks
So I'm waiting for US election news. Polls will start to close in about 6 hours. I think Obama will win, and obviously I desperately hope he will, but I am concerned. It's a concerning time. We're all a bit anxious. I'm going to stay up all night to watch it unfold, like I did last time. Four years ago. Four years ago, a brief while, so long ago ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday to Me
It's my birthday! I'm 22 today.
Wow. Definitely not a child any longer. What happened haha. The age so many people seem to want to go back to. I suppose I'd better try to make it good then :)

Life, or something like it
Another set of stairs meet my suitcases, another fight to the death with my fitted sheet, another not very good yet internet connection. I promise the big how-my-life-works-now post is coming. Soon. Probably Monday.

So there's this girl.
I don't think she can read this, but if I've forgotten something and somehow she can - well, hi. I've been ( Read more... )
