blee bloo angst and woe bloo blah
Aug. 22nd, 2013 12:26 pmI have mostly been "not online" for...basically the whole month of August. There was not having internet at home, and there was gencon, and there was being in Chicago (where I am more apt to get things done with mom than internet crash.)
Part of me is all "I should internet!" and the rest responds "but what do you do?" Tumblr and Facebook and Twitter are equal infinite streams of brief banalities. LJ has always been my preference for reading (just like it has been for writing), but I haven't touched my friends list consistently since before Pinewoods, and I find myself fatigued at the idea of "catching up". I should at least be keeping my email inbox cleared out (yesterday I answered a few messages that had been lingering too long) but even that seems to require _work_ of the sort I'm not used to being online.
Meanwhile, lots of my time right now (well, some.) is going to doing full-solo activities. Reading comic compilations that have been lying around the house, or stealing dad's backlog of Games magazines to do the nonograms and battleship puzzles. There's no ads popping up telling me to "share your score on Facebook", I get to read the whole archive without feeling as if I'm missing out.
Maybe I'm wasting my time right now, maybe I'm losing track [failing to stay connected] but at the same time, it's nice to spend my time with the people who are here, arrange quick and casual dates with Amul, get things done with mom, hug![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
megasaurus_rex and put her boys to work because they are the ones who happen to be here right now.
Meh. Everything changes, over and over and over again. Soon I will be back in Somerville, where I will move all my things and clean all the rooms. Then to Medford (and where do I stay that one overnight?) then living in a new situation with new people and struggling to put together a new job. I can't predict how much I'll be online (which is scary, there are people here I don't talk to any other way) and I've never wanted to tie myself down with promises of the future.
I suppose all of this is just a long way of saying that I miss you guys, and I miss being here. I'll keep trying to stay in touch. You should do the same.

MOOP!
