Post about how happy you are and the good things going in your life.
Sonic Generations, my first self-christmas gift(the other being Mario Kart 7) arrived today, along with Rayman Origins, which I can't play until the big "X". My Lady Gaga concert Blu-Ray movie(Over two hours long with an amazing set list) is on its way, and next week my complete Harry Potter Years 1-7(8 pc) Blu Ray set will ship.
And finally, I'm getting back into writing. Inspiration has struck and I'm working on my book, my play, my screenplay, and I've written three more songs. Not only that, but I'm back to painting and drawing. I've realized that the reason I can't create art I'm happy with is because I'm an abstract artist. When I experiment and strive to create what I feel, I'm finally happy with my work.

I recently read an excerpt from Lawrence Block's novel A Dance at the Slaughterhouse, where the protagonist alternates between hope over humanity's brutal past showing that we are not becoming worse, but also despair over how we are not getting any better either. While I too do often feel frustrated at the same mistakes and misdeeds being constantly repeated by humanity, I honestly don't feel very hopeless about that. I'm fine with humanity probably not growing into a Star Trek-ish high-tech utopian species, but remaining cavemen in different clothing. This is partly because I like that there is something so familiar about people from the past, that they were mostly just as bad and good as we are. It feels good to know that for all superficial differences between time-periods, they were people just as we are, and we will be to our descendants. The past societies feel more real that way. But if that isn't enough to lift your spirits, there are plenty
of statistics
about how daily life has actually improved over the past centuries.
I had a fantastically amazing time having dinner out with my friend Max and his new fiancee. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!Got myself a cute new cardigan today
And for extra uwu factor I picked out a flower crown from my collection to go with it! Feelin' pretty cute today tbh ^.^
Hi, everybody. I have great news. I am now officially a Freemason. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!My current project is finding old cardigans/jumpers (sweaters to those of you who use American English)/jackets/whatever else have you at op shops and garage sales and doing them up! Some buttons on this, a bow on that... I even turned a bow tie-collar-thing (idek what it was but it had some sort of elastic thing in it that did up at the back with clasps or some such?) into a hair clip by way of pulling out the stitches, removing the elastic, then buying some duck-bill hair clips and sewing it onto one of those! (Gonna add a little dab of glue on the inside just to kinda secure it a bit better but overall v v cute uwu)

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!I had a very fun day hanging out with my sister and brother-in-law and some of their friends. :) It was a very welcome change of pace. As much as I like hanging out with my oldest sister (who was in town for a brief surprise visit), I wasn't really in the mood for spending time with crazy and grouchy old men again (my father and uncle).
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!My visit to one of my favorite museums was a great and complete success. ![]()

Deltarune Chapter 2 is free. I just realized this.
I'm probably going hiking in the coming week.
I'm going to start going to a team training gym tomorrow and for the next 3 days.
Definitely looking for karaoke places so I can get out meet people and have fun.
Hoping to get back into school now that my financial issues seem manageable.
I'm going to start downsizing my to-do list so I don't feel overwhelmed, and can manage tasks at a reasonable pace.
I've been invited to a wedding that's happening next month.
Aww.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Sorry; I meant to post this yesterday, but I must have been more tired than I thought. x_x ^_^;; But anyway, here's the good news. A friend of mine really lifted my spirits with her compliment about my story idea that I had recently. :)
Who among you remembers that gorgeous silver dress Raquel Welch wore in Naked Gun 33-1/3: The Final Insult? The story idea I had was my pondering this: what if that dress came in other colors? So far I thought of a metallic red version. I didn't even include that in my writing yet, and my friend told me Princess Lily would be a show stopper if she wore something like that. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!Sorry about the double post, but I have some good news I should get off my chest. Lately, I've noticed that I feel like I don't really run into that Double Standard anymore. I remember my old group of friends I used to hang out with (well, actually it was only one of them who was doing it; the others in the group were just following his lead) were like this: "When we make nasty and inappropriate jokes and comments, it's hilarious. When you make nasty and inappropriate jokes and comments, it's an atrocity." Like I said, it feels like that hasn't happened for a long time now, and I'm very glad of it. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!I was just given a prescription for an antidepressent. "Lexipro" I think is the name.
I took one yesterday in the evening and didn't feel any different. I did some quick research and got worried about some of the warning signs that the antidepressant isn't working, one of them being "if it works too quickly/you don't feel yourself."
But through a combination of going to the gym, eating relatively healthy, and going to bed early I actually feel good. Like I'm smiling, dancing, showering early, and not entirely dreading work.
I'm giggly too, which is a little concerning. I didn't think 1 tablet would be this effective.
I take another around the same time... today.
This isn't the anxiety thread though (whatever happened to that) so I'm tickled. Antidepressants actually work. Go figure.
I have some good news. I finally finished the new edition of my first book on Barnes & Noble. :)
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.
:)
Sheesh; is there anything the state of Florida can't do?
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!
