That is how I feel about all the things right now.
Basically, similarly to the last _many_ months of life, I have been somewhat fighting to exist as a Real Person and an Adult. It's going okay. I think I may be at an uptick just now, but I am also extremely aware of how fragile that uptick can be. So I'm trying to really push myself to actually get things done while I still feel existent enough to do so.
Luckily for y'all, one of these things that counts as Getting Things Done is doing my 750words every day, and really just...writing in general. I mean, real writing is the best, of course, where I make stories and create worlds and _do the thing_ that I am meant to do.
But just...fucking around on livejournal, throwing words at paper (or screen, whatever), that's important too. Simply getting some of my current thoughts or whatever down, that's a thing I don't do enough of. Livejournal is dying, and I hate that, but this is a tiny way to try and prevent it.
So some things:
*Ria came over! We got crepes with her, me and Emily and Lauren, and have done much chatting and hanging out. She is wonderful as always, and I adore her, and will always let her rant about terrible things to me, because she is my moirail and that's how we work.
*Emily (from college, known sometimes as Emily-twin) has moved in with her boyfriend Tyler. Ty is nerdy and smart, and Em is gothy and kind, but the age of ARSES is shifting swiftly downward, and that's weird.
(When I say age, I mean less chronologically --although with David, Sparr, and Jordan all leaving, the chrono-oldest people in the house are now 25-- and more to do with attitude and existence. It's not awful, but it will be interesting living in a house where I am perceived, even if only by myself, as the oldest.)
*I am going to be hosting that Middleman Party I've talked about for ages. There is an event for it on Facebook. I will post about it more as it comes up, but this is a thing I find exciting. I plan on turning the living room into a magical wonderland of squooshy furniture (flatten the futon, extend the couch-bed, etc.
*I have not yet unpacked from GenCon, which is not awful, it's only been a day since I got back (not even). But I do have to pack for Dragon*Con, before I leave in the morning/afternoon on Wednesday, and that's rather a more desperate thing.
And really, strictly speaking, I have unpacked two thirds of my bags, and I cleaned much of my room, and part of getting myself able to DO THE THING is to create structures in my life that better enable my good habits, and decrease my bad ones.
*On that note...
I have a new policy, that was working really well while I was travelling out of town, and then sorta got sunk, where the first hour in which I am home each day, is an electronic free hour. No phone, no computer --I am allowed to set the alarm on the phone, but that's it. If I cheat, I have to pay back the number of minutes the next day, before I can start my hour.
It...it gives me space to clean my room, my house. To practice juggling. Theoretically, eventually to draw, to play, to build, to craft. Maybe to sew. But let's face it, I have _significant difficulties_ getting my arse off the computer, and being aware is the first step to solving this sort of problem.
(Maybe I will start cooking. During summer school, I was using part of that hour to pack my lunch for the next day, sometimes.)
That's all I've got for right now. This isn't quite 750 words, but that's okay, I have squeeful sighing words to say that don't go on livejournal. (all the reasons why not are depressing.)
Let's all be better together?

MOOP!
