One of these days I'll stop disappearing unexpectedly. One of these days.
But in the interim, you want to know what I think of my life right now?
THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING OKAY. Once upon a time (read: week before last) I spent a lot of time writing.
It was great! Fun times, even! I wrote 10k over 6 days, which is a GIANT ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ME. (I might've even thrown myself a small dance party at the end of it all)
But then the universe decided I wasn't socializing enough yet and I started getting friends talking about traveling and going out and oh hey you only lived in X city for five goddamn years surely you haven't eaten at any of the local restaurants right (protip: wrong). So there's been a lot of this going on, too:
Now, though.
I've just gotten roped into giving a speech on Friday morning which means I have two days to come up with a topic and then write it. (I am almost thinking about writing about the pains of worldbuilding because THAT IS STILL MY LIFE RIGHT NOW and also because the "goal" of the speech is to get to the point, and I can "inform" my audience about the basics of worldbuilding because why the hell not I've already talked about commiccon with these folks LET'S JUST REAFFIRM THAT MY GEEKINESS IS INGRAINED AND PERMANENT.)
And I've been scanning downstairs all morning and have I ever mentioned how much I hate scanning? Because it's a lot. It's not so bad when there aren't any 11x17 pullouts but there's been a lot of those and they are all right. In the middle. Of my documents. WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST PLACE FOR THEM BECAUSE I HAVE TO STOP SCANNING TO REFORMAT THE PAPER SIZE TO SCAN THEM PROPERLY, then reformat it all again to go back to the 8.5x11 pages.
So there's a lot of this happening in my brain right now:
I'd missed breaking my life down into gifs.
