Jun. 23rd, 2019 12:11 amSo part of today involved me walking home from Alewife station. Because I am a certifiable Huge Dork, I stopped by the turtle pond first for a bit of a romp into the woods and a looking for turtles. I saw two! I scared them off, but it was so sunny and nice that they came back quite quickly when I didn't get any closer.
I opened pokemon to fuck around a bit and went "ha-ha! Foolish video game thinks the weather is rainy. It's so bright and sunny, don't be daft you dumb game!" Ten minutes later I felt the first drops. I managed to get under the bridge before the first big torrent came down, but it was close. I let it soothe out a bit, and then went walking. A few minutes later it re-torrented, complete with little bits of hail, and I was quite damp.
Luckily the squall was brief, and so I walked home barefoot and splashing in puddles while the sun dried my clothes. Absolutely lovely! Perfect early-summer weather, the kind of fun that Adam and the Them would arrange for. Really nice walk home!
It is good for me to be naturey occasionally.

I'm in a weird brain-space where I am hyperaware of the fact that I need to make some serious adjustments to how much Dumb Phone Stuff I am doing (Reddit, stupid games, etc) but have not yet worked up the self-discipline to...actually implement these changes. It's unfortunate! Lack of self-discipline is an absolute beast to work around. I don't recommend it.

Rang my first bit of treble-bob today! It's actually stupidly easy to keep track of as the treble, you just dodge down every time you reach an even number on the way up, and dodge up every time you reach an odd number on the way down. I'd thought it was going to be much tricker to remember/track.
Of course (and as always) the physical handling side of it is not _nearly_ that smooth. But it's nice to know that I should be able to get the hang of this pretty swiftly.
In other bell news, I have been able to ring Stedman Doubles for exactly a month now, and I've managed to do a plain course on each of the five bells. And I even tenored to it at least once in that time. Bam, very good, well done self.

I haven't said in a while, but I'm still forcing myself to write my words every evening. It's good for y'all, it means you get entries here, and it's good for me because it means I give my brain a little bit of interrogation each night about how things are going (badly). I also wrote an absolutely fabulous 1400 word Behind the Walls post that never even touched the words website. It's...really really soothing to do that, to write something totally separate from my usual spaces, and write something *dedicated* to the private diary space that I don't share with anyone.
Or rather, the private diary space that I totally share with people, just in tiny snippets here and there. Anyways, I haven't needed it as a diary since I started on 750words, nine years ago, so it always feels *really* special when something feels important enough to talk about in there instead of in the rest of my nonsense. I...might clean that one up and post it here sometime, but still maybe not yet.
ANYWAYS the point I was trying to make is that today is day 197 of writing at least 750words between the hours of 6AM and 6AM. That's pretty good, I think.

The real world is falling to absolute fucking pieces in a way I am pretty fucking useless about. I definitely need to work on that too. Although it's really hard, when I say "I ought to do something about the world falling apart" and the obvious response is "do you mean the concentration camps, the impending war, the rape accusation towards our president, or the fact that climate change is literally causing the end of the world right now." Yes, I know there are other things too. There's...there's a lot of things right now.
Please be kind to each other. All the other stuff too, but as much as we can, try to be kind.
