+ I took too many things out from the library. I don't know how I'll finish them all in a reasonable time. Like, while I was browsing, it didn't seem like a lot, but it was like - 5 movies, 5 graphic novels, 5 nonfiction, etc... It adds up. Whoops. Luckily none of these are things that will go on hold and have to be returned, probably. Aside from maybe the Junji Ito works. And also Susanna Clarke's Piranesi.

+ Went to mom's on Sunday and made fudge. It turned out well. It's a two-person job, so I'm glad we got it done. Not sure if I will be able to help her make any of the other Christmas baking, though. It depends on how things go with the course I'm taking, whether I will be able to set a few hours aside to do that.

+ She asked me "Are you feeling overwhelmed?" And... yeah. A little. I wish I had started the Quickbooks course in November; that was an option. But I thought that I would be super busy at work, and then that didn't happen for various reasons. ...Anyway, I had better get this course done now. I'll do my best.

+ The pride org has arranged a coffee and board game meetup at one of the cafes this upcoming Sunday. But the post announcing it got almost 100 comments from homophobic assholes being nasty and horrible about it. I want to go to the meetup, but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with that, considering that these people know where and when it will be happening. (Plus, I'll be busy, and might not be able to stay long.) ...I'll probably go anyway, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned.

Library visits are always an exercise in hubris for me! /o\ There's always so many tempting titles...

Ugh, that really sucks about the announcement post. D: I hope you can make it and it does go smoothly, but - I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to risk it, either!

No kidding! I love going through the list of books they've recently added and putting stuff on the to-read list.

I'm still kind of on the fence about the meetup, and I'm so annoyed that I'm in this position in the first place.

The way I end up with more library books than I can read at a time is that I put tons of new books on hold, either when they're on order or when there's a long list of holds, and then inevitably a bunch come in at once.

[yuuago]

Ah yes, I've done that one too. Trying to break that habit though. :P

Yikes. I mean, people are always braver being assholes online than they are about actually doing anything offline, so hopefully it'll be fine, but totally understandable to be worried.

[yuuago]

Yeahhh. Hopefully it's all just online BS and none of them will show up. ...But. Yeah. :T

I hope all goes well if you go to the meetup. It's a lot easier to post a nasty comment online than to show up to harass people in person, but it sucks that you need to worry about that happening :\

Hopefully it'll just proceed as normal and everything will be fine. We'll see.
