sorcyress: Drawing of me as a pirate, standing in front of the Boston Citgo sign (Default)

I am still in California. Or, if I never bothered to mention it properly, I am in California!

Spending all my time with someone creative in the same ways in which I am creative has been really good for me. I am still Woefully Unemployed (TM), but I've also drawn a couple things, and written a couple things, and best of all, three days ago, the clone looks up at me from our Left 4 Dead game and says "wanna write a collaborative story about a zombie apocalypse?"

So that's been going very well, and I've written like 4500 words of characters I haven't used in a while fighting zombies. Which is pretty damn great.

We've also done some cooking experiments (which resulted in bacon-wrapped potato bites!) and playing way too much Left 4 Dead (<3333!) and spending too much time on Tumblr and not enough time watching Doctor Who, but whatever, honestly. Theoretically, I can watch that on my own. Keeping up with the reblogs is tres important, zohmgar. :P

Mek might've gotten me hooked on Fallen London, or at least starting to be hooked on Fallen London. I am currently more frustrated than pleased by the throttling of actions. I appreciate that they're keeping me from wasting all my time on there, but man, I have been running out of actions quickly and that's annoying, especially when I'm still very badly in explore mode and trying to figure out the game. We'll see if it sticks at all.

I miss Boston. I miss dancing. I might claim to miss being too cold, but judging by how I actually respond to temperature, it's a dirty lie. But I'm happy I'm here because...there's a reason I call him clone faster than boyfriend. Mek gets me like no one else. The conversations we have tend to be long, meandering, weird and utterly fabulous. When's the last time you jumped from Neil Poon Handler to Oglaf?

The hope of course is that I'll go home and be rejuvenated, ready to try again being a real adult. We'll see if it works at all. I am in turns optimistic towards how lovelyinteresting this summer could be (Pinewoods in July, and Alys might visit me) and shaking with fear at the lack of funds and lack of impact I am having on the world.

In the meantime though, I'm going to clutch at this creative paradise while it is still accessible to me. Lying in bed all day in my underwear writing might not sound to you like such a beast, but oh, am I satisfied.

Even if it is too damn hot.

MOOP!

//When's the last time you jumped from Neil Poon Handler to Oglaf?//

From that name to Oglaf seems a perfectly natural jump to me. I bet several of the background characters in the queen's court are entitled Poon Handlers.

Enjoy it! Maybe it will help you find your path.

*smiles*

Thank you. I am enjoying lots of it, but sometimes that seems to be the problem. How am I supposed to make rent if I am too busy enjoying myself all the time? :|

You will find something, money-wise, to get by. I'm pretty sure of it. But for now, it seems like you're enjoying LIVING.
I once read a list, written by someone who worked with dying people, of the most frequent regrets people mentioned at the end of their lives. Working too hard and not spending enough time doing the kinds of things you're doing right now were high on the list. It sounds like you're living a good kind of life to look back on.

Shall I be seeing you at the Highland Ball this weekend?

[identity profile] kdsorceress.livejournal.com 2012-05-08 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
You shall! I will be there with bells on!

Okay, probably not actual bells. Hmmm. Maybe though! They'd be a mite noisy though, for dancing.

Y'know, some of us sorta need bells for dancing...

"You got your Morris dance in my Scottish!"

Honey, if I was a Morris Dancer, you can damn well bet I'd get it in my Scottish. Hell, I get my Scottish in my contra, and I want to get my Squares in _everything else_.

Dance purity is for historians.

Oh, of course!
That was meant in a "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" sense, ie "even better together than separate. :-)
