Memery and stuff

Yoined from paralinguistic : 

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other.

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Or something completely random. Ask away.


Dogs have been walked, agility lesson has been attended, dogs have been fed.  (And I'm starting to wonder if walking Darwin before agility is a bad idea, since today he was kind of ridiculously low-energy on the course, and my teacher actually commented on how slow he was.  Not good.)

I need a shower and some tea, in that order.  I'm feeling yucky and crampy, and need to go to Home Depot, but really, really don't feel like it, so we'll see how that goes.  Today feels like it'll be a good day to settle in with a pot of tea and write.  I seem to be managing about 700 words a day, or have managed it for the past few days, whch makes me happy. 

In other news, am currently growing more and more addicted to Twitter:  WHO ELSE IS ON TWITTER?

SHOULD I BECOME ADDICTED TO TWITTER? i donno, man. this whole new tech thing scares me.

There are lots of fun Twitter apps for the iPhone -- I'm particularly fond of... Tweety, I think? It's not a freebie, but it's about $2.99, and works really well. It's not much fun unless you're following people you know, though.

How are you doing these days?

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

I... am not bad, actually. I'm kind of... trying to make more of an active effort not to patterns where I'm dissatisfied by everything, and I feel like a huge failure for having this awesome degree and not managing to do anything with it. I'm excited about volunteering for ARPH, and I'm excited about getting that abstract submitted. I'm finding myself wanting to DO things more. I'm also committed to finishing my book, as well as OGAM and Bump. I've been really easily distracted by a lot of other things lately, and I'm coming to a point where I want to pare back those extras and get down to the things that are important to me.

All of that said, there are some things that are sucky and will continue to be sucky for the time being. George's work situation being at the top of that list. But I'm also trying not to get mired down in the suckitude. I find it really easy to get on a real negative bent when it comes to his job, and there are times when it turns me into someone I don't like very much, so I'm trying to remain conscious of that. I need to work more at emphasizing the positive and counting my blessings.

...Wow. Could I sound any cornier?

Oh, indubitably.

Sometimes things aren't really Sucky per se, not on paper, but suck nonetheless. Your helpful neighborhood f-list (as represented by myself) can only offer *hug*s and reiterate threats as to the dire repercussions of not venting as needed in your journal. If that made any sense. Ilu

Yeah, I'm getting into a big "make my own happiness" kind of place lately. I may suck at running agility with Darwin, but it makes me happy to do it. Baking makes me happy. Writing makes me... frustrated, but happy. Today I am especially happy because the dogs got walked nice and early, I had agility class, came home, got a nice warm shower, and promptly dressed in my favorite jeans and sweater (black, hooded, belted, and reaches my knees), and am cuddled up in my chair, contemplating tea and wondering what I want to write on today. There are sucky things I could dwell on, but... I don't want to waste my energy dwelling on 'em.

*hugs*

Y'know, sometimes you have to stand right up and say, "Fuck you, life. It is a good day and I'm going to enjoy it." And then you get comfy and start writing something, and it is good. ♥

So...you're trying to get neilhimself's attention too? XDDD

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, when I have enough courage to reply with something not entirely asinine. Usually I chicken out. XD

[ankoku-jin.livejournal.com]

I need to hook my Twitter up to other things because I sadly neglect it. ^^;;

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Okay, I'll bite--are you still writing fiction, either original or fanfiction? (And if so, are you posting it anywhere? Because I could swear I haven't seen anything from you in a while...)

I'm not trying to make you feel bad, if Life is interefering with your Muse, but I was honestly curious.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Yes! Shockingly I AM. I am actively working on a new OGAM chapter, and also am futzing around with a new chapter for a Furuba fic that is wanting to be updated.

I'm also working on an original fic -- about five chapters in, give or take, and it's pretty much the main thing I work on, if I'm writing anything at all. I would like to be finished with it -- or close to finished -- this year. I have scads of notes, and a rough outline, and I'm actually really excited about the story. It's also the first thing I've written that I feel incredibly self-conscious about asking people to read it. So that's probably why you haven't seen it -- I haven't posted it. ;)

[sharibet.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing the newest chapters of OGAM and "Bump in the Road."

I'm also returning to work on an original fantasy novel that went on hiatus while I wrote a gift-fic for a dear friend that turned into a bloody long novel. Like you, I have four completed chapters of a first draft, a handful of scenes that go later in the story, and a thick folder of story notes and world-building essays. It's my goal this year to finish this book and start sending it out to publishers.

*insert my curious question about teh bunneh...um, when I actually think of one. Get back to you, promise*

What is this twit-ter of which you speak?

Because everyone needs more things upon which to waste scads of time.
