Well. It's been a while.

I'm not sure if anyone even uses LiveJournal regularly anymore, anyway, but I used to like it here, back in the day when it seemed like people posted regularly and it facillitated communication between its users. I think I'll try reviving this journal experimentally- Mostly to see if I feel it's worth it, though I have my ( Read more... )

I keep meaning to start updating again ( Read more... )

Advice for me on January first, 2011:

You will feel better than you do right now- Start counselling and keep busy. Ditch your shyness and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You aren't pregnant. Join roleplaying games and keep LARPing! Quit your AFS volunteer job- Between uni and two paying jobs, you really don't need ( Read more... )

Know what would be amazing? Not being controlled by the weather. Depression in winter caused by lack of natural light, nausea and headaches in the summer from the humidity, plus the temporary bout of anxiety that happens every year when the days start getting brighter. I can't win.

I was alternately amused and alarmed to recall that five/six years ago I:

I'm on proper holiday now. Woke up on Monday thinking, 'Ah, uni break. The only thing that would make it better would be if I didn't have to go to Fish Serve,' followed up with 'What if I didn't?' Decided to find out how much leave I've accrued, hoping to be able to take a day off next week and have a long weekend- And discovered that it was more ( Read more... )

So it seems it might snow, and part of me is saying: "Yay! "

I don't know if it's because snow's gained a certain novelty it never had before (growing up in Western New York leaves you with a lot of strong opinions about snow, none of which have anything to do with novelty) from living in New Zealand for four years, or if my brain's simply caught ( Read more... )
