So, March already. Still very much winter outside. *sigh* Still too cold to go traipsing around town, so I amused myself today by cleaning the place and cooking a big pot of stew. Oh, and let's not forget the Skyping. Skyping has very much become a permanent feature of my daily existence. In fact, I am exceedingly proud of myself for having the willpower to end this morning's conversation before it was too late to get anything done. It wasn't easy, let me tell you. My sense of time tends to become strangely suspended while interacting with someone who occupies the same wavelength.;) Introverted as I am, when I detect a kindred soul, I latch onto it with the tenacity of a starving vampire bat. And when the kindred soul in question seems to be doing exactly the same thing, the situation can get a little out of hand (only talked until 1-2 a.m. last night, I swear!). But I am still making an effort to pay some attention to other people occasionally, so there is hope.;P
Btw, our VC community on Dreamwidth is still absolutely teeming with posts and comments; I can barely keep up. I know I am gradually letting LJ fall by the wayside. I will not be offended if anyone removes me from their friends' list due to lack of interaction; though I do hope some people won't.;) There is just too much on my mind right now. I don't even seem to be finding the time for Netflix anymore; I tend to keep the same DVD for 2-3 weeks at least... Another thing that fell by the wayside, months ago, is any sort of physical exercise. *sigh* That really has to change at some point... but there's only so much I can focus on at a time. I do have an obsessive personality, and all things considered, it is really quite fortunate that this manifests itself through fandoms (rather than drugs or alcohol or extreme sports, for example ;P). These obsessions provide me with unbelievable amounts of energy and optimism I would otherwise lack - so I accept them with open arms when they come upon me, and try to go with the flow as best I can until they run their course. It's the best life-affirming philosophy I am capable of, and it has gotten me through a lot. So who am I to complain? :D
