Motherfucker.

So, today I spent pretty much the entire day stressed out for no fucking reason, and it's really pissing me off.

And that made me recall a couple of times in the past few months when complete strangers noticed that I was anxious for no particular reason. (Well, there were perfectly valid reasons to be a little nervous in those situations, but I guess I was obviously moreso than expected.)

Sigh.

Man, I really need to get out of this housing situation.

Of course, the fact that I'm in this housing situation is one of the major sources of my anxiety in the first place. (I mean, I'd still have it regardless, but this shit certainly doesn't help.)

What a vicious cycle. Shit, this just really sucks. I hate that I have to work harder than other people do just to hit the bare minimum of existence. Crap goddamn sonova-

Oh, well. I'm going to do some driving practice tomorrow, so that's one step more toward getting out of this joint. I'm not looking forward to it, but , fine. Okay. ONE THING AT A TIME....


As counter to the whole bunch of kvetching above, here are some nicer things:

☆ I have two potential matches for nightonficmountain, as well as somebody that I could treat if I decide to do that, which means I can stop worrying about whether I'll have someone to write for. (There's still plenty of time to sign up, if anybody is interested...! Tag Set and Ao3 profile/FAQ for reference. /nudge)

☆ It's just slightly over a month until Eurovision! Even though it seems like it'll be very Balladvision (according to what I've heard, anyway - I've only listened to maybe two songs), I'm still excited about it. I think this time around I might be able to listen to the semifinals, even if I'm not able to actually watch them. That would be nice. I hate having to skip them and then see everyone throwing their commentary on twitter; it makes me feel like I'm missing out on so much.

☆ My mate Tik is hinting that I should learn Polish. I'm trying to resist, but I think she might be winning. It's ridiculous, considering I haven't been spending time on Norwegian, so I shouldn't pick up another - but it couldn't hurt to learn some basics, so that I can at least understand how to pronounce everything properly... But this is how it starts. (And she's hinting that picking up Ukrainian would be easier if I know basics of at least one Slavic language. I'm still unsure if I want to even try to learn Ukrainian, but still, maybe -- she's so devious. And she knows me too well.)

☆ straightforwardly reminded me about the existence of the game Never Alone*, which I've been meaning to play for ages, but forgot about for a while there. It's set in the arctic, and it's inspired by traditional Iñupiat lore, and the screenshots look so pretty... basically it's everything I love in one nice package. It might be a while before I get to this one, but I really am going to have to play it one of these days.
