I had an amazingly good weekend. My game ran well, and was liked by people that I like. I went back to work today, and it was the job that I have, in all it's complex difficult wonderfulness. I got home to an email from my dad; it's been a year and a half since we last spoke, and I know that this time things will go better than last time, I just ( Read more... )

Autism is OK.

Giving advice is OK.

Maths teachers are OK.

Lakeview high is OK, although they might not be the best.

Not educating people is OK. (And using the word 'privilege' in a way that I completely agree with is noteworthy.)

I've gone nocturnal again. Odd. Mildly annoying. But OK, I guess.

I wonder if I'll still be in a 'posting frenzy' state tomorrow?

So, the specific thing that got to me on Tuesday had to do with being precise about wording. A subordinate at work told me "There is no difference between these lists" and then went on to explain why one list contained items that were not present in the other list.

My flatmate says that this is the only anime she'll ever watch.

Life continues to be more and more confusing, but I find that I am more ( Read more... )

Cooler kids than I are doing this, here's some previews of the characters available in Vengeance of the Vampire Lord:

Having gone with the flow all my life and accepted the destiny my family made for me, it was difficult to renounce the throne, but it is something I had to do.

Shu Mo, the mightyFrom that day, I dedicated ( Read more... )

And so we see that I have reached the 'posting frenzy' part of the cycle, the bit that comes after the 'unbearable adversity' and kicks in around about the point where the 'bonecrushing exhaustion' is replaced by the 'intense fatigue' and I actually get a little bit of rest. Meanwhile, fpb embedded a Johnny Cash video, and makes an eloquent, simple ( Read more... )

Just under 6 years ago, my life was pretty damned close to empty, and there was this space called LiveJournal, where I could talk, and feel like a few people were listening. And I bound myself into the LJ community and it supported me through some really difficult times. I can remember what it was like in those days, but only just. Except for ( Read more... )
