Mar 01 - Personal challenge withdhampyresa; "finish and post 1 thing that is not for a fest/exchange"
☆ Feeling kind of stressed out for no specific reason. Might just be a random building up of stuff. It's been a long, cold week. The media's been full of celebrity deaths. The economy's in the toilet. Tonight, there was an explosion at one of the local oil refineries, and at least one fatality - it wasn't my site, thank fuck, but it's very very upsetting news. So... bad news and melancholy vibes all around, I guess.
☆ Sometimes I feel like I have absolutely no idea how normal human beings are supposed to act. Now, normally, that's not much of a problem, because when it comes to real life I just kind of shuffle through and do my own thing and try not to care about how people might react to my oddities (fortunately, I usually don't have the energy to give a damn, these days). And when it comes to fiction/fanfiction, I'm often not writing about normal people doing normal things anyway. But sometimes I do write normal people doing normal things, and I'm left floundering. How the fuck do people interact. How do they develop relations. How do they exist in the world. I have no fucking clue. Maybe I should stick to writing personified countries and post-apocalyptic weirdos.
☆ ...Man, this entry is such a downer. So, on a lighter note - I've discovered that I'm capable of reading while walking on the treadmill without tripping over my own feet. Hooray! I'm really happy about this, not just because it'll give me more reasons to go walking, but also because it's surprisingly comfortable. There just plain aren't many places in the house that I can read undisturbed, and when trying to do it in bed, I always fall asleep, so... this might be a good solution. I'm gonna' read so much stuff. :D (Well, hopefully.)
☆ Found out today that Jo Nesbø's Blood on Snow is out in paperback, hooray! I've been waiting for that, since I can't stand hardcovers. Except... after the total disappointment that Police was, I'm feeling a little hesitant. Then again, maybe I shouldn't - it's a stand-alone, not the Harry Hole series. And his last stand-alone novel (The Son) was pretty good. So, I dunno. Maybe I should try the library for this one, sigh. :T

Date: 2016-01-16 04:30 pm (UTC)Totally agree with you on this week being absolute shit. I've also felt really unfocused and blah and barely able to do anything besides eat too much candy (it's how I cope >.> shhhh) and watch stupid shows on Netflix.
Here's hoping 2016 will get its head out of its ass and start getting better soon!
