testing...
Jan. 3rd, 2012 06:11 pmThis is me, testing things out... I seem to have set up a dreamwidth account. So far, so nifty, though I'm still playing around with things. This will be my first attempt at crossposting.
Today I've spent watching cartoons and crocheting a tentacle scarf and doing laundry. I'm covered in kitties and yarn and blankets. Also, loose socks. I have tea and a computer and a small bitey kitten only occasionally tries to eat my hair. It's not a bad way to be sick, even if I am irritated at being sick. I'm grateful for the luxuries I've got, basically, even (perhaps especially) when some of them have teeth.
I'm tempted, since it's the beginning of the year and I'm writing in a new space, to do the thing where I look back at the year that was and think ahead to what I want in the year coming up. I like beginnings, especially these liminal moments between arbitrarily segmented moments of time. I'm not sure I will indulge in the usual reflection-regret-resolution cycle. I will say that this last year? It was an interesting one, and a good one, overall. And I hope this next one is filled with awesome.
I have no resolutions, just indistinct things that I want. I want to make lots of great and geeky things, and finish things I've started (this is more challenging than it sounds), play lots of games, write nifty stories, pet lots of kitties, read gosh tons of books, learn neat things, cuddle awesome people, have fun with my friends, and maybe (just maybe) do some traveling. All those things seem rather likely considering the current trajectory of my life, so I must be doing something right.
I think tonight I'll work on the Snow White story I've had squishing around in my brain for a little while now. I haven't made much progress on it - I've been pretty social lately, but today I've got some alone time, if I can ignore the germs.
