Let's blow our entire afternoon and just enjoy the view

✿ Lately I've been listening to music that makes me think of hot summer days. Stuff like My Favorite Highway's "Closer" and Treaty of Paris's "Rollerskates". Maybe I'm just getting restless and wishing time would go faster, faster, faster. Come on, hurry up! I want summer! Not spring, because spring isn't nice here. It's just like winter, except wetter and muddier and not attractive at all.

✿ So many people have been up in my face lately. I must have flipped my shit at least three times today. This is probably a sign that I'm feeling really antsy here. (It's also a sign that people need to learn to leave me alone, but that's neither here nor there). I might not be able to skip town, but it'd be nice to be able to do something. Shit, I need to get my driver's license, soon as the weather is good. Taking the bus is such a damn drag.

✿ My parents keep bugging me about my writing. I wish they would drop it; I don't want to discuss writing with them. Whenever they try to get me to talk about it, I get this slimy gross extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if they're snooping through my private things. It's even worse when they try to actually poke their nose into my original writing.

✿ Of course, I don't mind my friends reading any of my writing at all. I like the thought of it, and it doesn't give me that skeevy feeling. Maybe it's because when my friends read my stuff, they have a general idea of what to get into, what to expect, and they keep reading because they know they'll (probably?) enjoy it.

✿ While I'm on that thought, I'd just like to take a moment to say how much I love y'all. I know I might seem distant or noncommunicative at times, especially lately due to my work schedule, but I really mean it. You guys are awesome, and I'm so happy that I know such cool, friendly, wonderful, amazing people. I really hope that whenever I move to a different area, I'll have more opportunity to meet up with some of you guys, because that would just be so awesome.

To all my friends I hope
That every word I wrote
Finds you well you know
I loved you all along ♪ ♫ ♪

...I'm sorry, you reminded me and I couldn't help it.

And that's winter for you. Being cooped up in a house with people who get on your nerves. But it's been a little warmer lately, so maybe spring and summer will be here sooner than usual and you can get out more on your off days. Hang in there.

[yuuago]

Oh my gosh, perfect.
(Also, you're just as ridiculous as I am. This is wonderful.)

Apparently the groundhog said we'll get an early spring (for once) but I don't believe a single word of it.
I'll manage somehow.

[diplopod.livejournal.com]

Am not. I just got bored. ...And I might have watched one episode and couldn't stop. /cough

Did it now? I didn't even notice groundhog day had passed. Probably because I don't believe in that hogwash either. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?)

Sharing your work with friends sounds great! I'm hestitant about it as most of mine are in different fandoms and not into slash. I guess you have to be really comfortable and open around each other for that kind of thing.

Offtopic but: aw, your icon. That fanart must be one of the most heartwarming things pixiv ever produced imo.

I guess you have to be really comfortable and open around each other for that kind of thing.
Yeah, I think that definitely makes a big difference. Were my friends not the sort of people that they are, I probably wouldn't be so open about what I write.

On the other hand, there certainly is something to be said for just putting it in one's journal and not caring what anyone else thinks. :)a

Re: OT: Yes. Agreed with you. It's actually one of my favourite Den/Nor fanarts ever, that one.

This icon is still making me giggle.

Is it harder to get a license in Canada or have you just not needed to bother before?

Pffft no one IRL knows I write. Plan on keeping it that way, just to avoid the feeling you described. (How do they try to see your original stuff?!)

/ROLLS AROUND IN YOUR CHIPPER ENDING

[yuuago]

It isn't more difficult, I just never needed to bother. When I was still in university, I lived first in a tiny town, and then in a big city with good public transport, so I didn't need a car. Now that I'm back in hicksville again... I definitely need it.

I wish I'd never told anyone that I write, sob. Unfortunately it was unavoidable.
My honours thesis was a creative project. Writing poetry. I can't remember how many poems it was - 40? Maybe? Anyway, mum insisted that I get copies bound for the family. If I had refused to do so, it would have been a total, complete, absolute shitstorm. So. Now they've read my recent writing.
That aside, they keep pressuring me to talk about the more recent original project I'm working on. It's frustrating because I don't want to talk about it, but I get in trouble when I refuse to answer questions. I just try to change the subject most of the time, though. Ugh, it's such a pain in the ass.

i'd offer more summer heat and sun but we don't really have any and i don't think you want more water!

hopefully things stop popping up to bug you & i hope things are well for you otherwise <3

[yuuago]

Nooo I don't want water. Water + snow = ICE and dangerous driving.

Things will get fine. I was just having a whine. Hey, that rhymed!

I hope things will go fine for you as well, with regards to... life in general. orz seems everything is a bit of suck for people lately.

[scrii.livejournal.com]

haha, as i thought. although water + heat = humidity and that's no fun either, man this water
and hey whining is always nice and cathartic :')

thanks bro, i hope so too. maybe since everyone's going through particularly tough times, things will pick up again soon eh?

^summery icon!

Maybe because with friends, it's like you're sharing what you like and you know we're interested in them, but with parents, it's like... they're going to judge you?

[yuuago]

Exactly! I know my friends are interested, or just don't care (which is fine), and they don't get all judge-y on me. Whereas parents... definitely get judge-y. And interpret things wrong. And tell me my ideas are stupid. Or that I shouldn't write about communists.
(... that last one kind of tongue in cheek. Though if my parents knew that my latest original project is about an Estonian character, that is probably what they would say, orz)
