I haven't posted here in a while. I've kind of moved to Tumblr, but I don't feel comfortable posting more personal stuff there because I can't f-lock it, so all I do is reblog and like fun stuff from other people. Also, I think I should have gotten a different username than SotetAG, because the other day my brother asked me, "Are you famous on

I've been posting on facebook a bit since certain people added me, but I'm really missing the custom groups f-lock feature on there...

Fandom shyness!! I can write a fic for a tiny fandom and feel all proud of myself then later I see someone talking about it and go "WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MEE?!" I like switching usernames. When I was a kid I had dreams of becoming internet-famous and then I realized people are super crazy and it's better to protect yourself and stay in the shadows lol.

Isn't there a custom f-lock feature on Facebook, though? I've never used it, but I think I saw it somewhere in the friends settings a while ago.

Haha, yeah, it's like that! I also use different usernames, partly for that reason.

I have no idea... Facebook's layout is so bad (narrow and "restricted" - and if you increase the font size or change the page colours the layout breaks) that it's really hard to read stuff on there even if it's just settings information, so I have a lot of trouble with it lol.

I really wish Tumblr had customs friends-groups for REBLOGGING stuff at the very least. I hate it when someone reblogs my post, completely misreads the entire thing because they lack basic reading comprehension or the basic knowledge that "not everyone blogging about something is an expert" and then I get hatespam : / Even if someone doesn't spam your inbox you can see the text already in the reblogs that show up on the dashboard...

I'm glad you've found a medication that is helping you!! I wonder if some of these suspicious stress-induced symptoms could be medication related, though? I find that my experience of side effects can depend a lot on different things, such as the time of day I take meds, with what consistency, etc.

Funny what you said about not giving a crap when you're tired, lol! As annoying as it is, sometimes I feel like managing health is kind of more like a balance, like how much relief from one thing you want to get versus how much exhaustion, etc, you're willing to put up with. But if it feels like an improvement, it definitely is :) I hope it continues to more or less work out for you <3

[gemini_artemis]

Well, I'm not sure. I mean, I certainly had some symptoms that were side effects from the meds, but some of them aren't listed as side effects (not even as "extremely rare side effects"), and even my psychiatrist was confused.

Hey girl! Nice to see you again here in livejournal. Tumblr, I thought that place was cool at first but when I couldn't comment or make any post private I lost interest. I know my journal is public but sometimes I do post one or two post in private for myself. University?! I had no idea that your are still a student, is it your last year?!

Did you say summar?! I'm shivering in cold girl! What are you talking about?!

[gemini_artemis]

Yeah, tumblr isn't really the best platform for socializing and chatting. It's good to look for art, though, and there are also some interesting texts, like theories about TV series, links to fun videos, etc.

Incidentally, you once said you didn't like tumblr because you ended up seeing some adult material. If you install "tumblr savior" on the browser Firefox, you can blacklists words so that any posts with those words will be blocked. So, for example, I added the words "porn" and "NSFW", so I rarely run into that kind of thing!

I've already graduated from university some years ago, where I studied Linguistics, but now I'm taking another undergraduate program at a different university, where I'm studying Accounting. It's fun! :D

Hehe, it's summer in Brazil, though! And since this is a tropical country (most of it, anyway), it gets pretty hot and humid from December to February. DX

Yeah, porn was the big reason behind my leaving. Thanks for the tip but I have this rule where what I delete I never go back to it. If I've known that tip before I would have stayed. I tried chaning my age so the posts won't appear, but turns out you can't change anything, there wasn't any fliter either in the options so it felt so hopless. I do agree that it's a good place for art, recepics and such but now I found an even better place for that which is pinterest. That place is cool, if you haven't been there before I strongly recommend you to do so. I got a lot of my felt work inspiration from there =)

It took me a while to get used to tumblr. I felt so...exposed at first haha But you gradually get less antsy about it. (Also, I just followed you for SU goodness! <3)

College also has me tired like nothing else. I don't think I ever needed to visit hospitals quite as much before, stress sucks. Stay strong!

[gemini_artemis]

Yeah, I feel a little less nervous about tumblr now, though I still don't post personal stuff. It's fandom-only. XD And thanks for the follow! ♥

Oh dear, is it bad enough that you need to go to the hospital?? D: I hope it gets better for you, and good luck!
