zesty_pinto"I just keep thinking back to it, I really enjoyed my gifts this year"
Michelle messaged methis morninglast Monday to say that. That made me happy and totally justified the debt. She's already using the phone to do the things smartwatches are supposed to let you do, like pay for the gas at the pump, and even paid for her lunch using it (because I forgot to bring her lunch, doh).
I've spent the weeks tired and a bit wired. Sleeping is weird for me, I can't seem to sleep properly these days. Edit: Sleep is getting better but I'm still deprived
I can't believe I've been sitting on this post for this long. I technically worked on this even before the GoT rant. I have a number of things that have been annoying me and more tasks, plus work has been taking my downtime since it's been busy and when it wasn't then I was either too fatigued to concentrate properly or had to work on plans. For some reason, it's easier for me to read news articles than compose words into thingies that make the pictures in your head when you read them.
Speaking of plans-
Garden
Is good to go. We got the OK to go at it. I celebrated by going back there, pulling dandelion flowers, and snipping up dandelion leaves, made them into a stir fry after steeping some of the tannins out and then fried it with bacon and lemon.
Social Media
I've started to find a community on Twitter and I think I enjoy it because it's teaching me to be better at being concise.I follow a lot of comedians, so reading and remarking with them has started to help me to understand why it's not just about what you know but how you say it.
I also mess on reddit; the communities are more insular but the ones that exist are mostly really active. I mean really active. It's easier to find a community there since I can usually rant a ton and I like to cite most of my statements if possible unless I'm trying to be funny. It's a healthy compromise from Facebook and Twitter's design.
I realize this is probably also what is taking up my time from here, for which I apologize.
Writing
A new idea came to my head. I'm debating if I should start an anon fanfiction account and write/post it there or if I should post it here somewhere or just keep it to myself.
For some reason, when writing fanfiction, I always gravitate towards Star Wars. I don't know why; maybe the idea of such an open-ended universe where anything happens and tech and magic have such a similar grip on explanation that I'm okay with it.
Anyway, the idea would be about someone who is alienated from the idea of the Force, Jedi, etc. More about someone who was stuck growing up around droids, and the idea of what that is like. The idea is centered on the basic idea of identity for a group that is not only a slave class, but is trying to understand its own awareness of what they are without the supervision of humans to rein that in. Nothing new, of course, but the theme of droids always interested me.
I have an outline in my head on how I would approach it and I worry that if I keep it there too long I'll get too bored to bother writing it.
I already sat for a long time on a short screenplay in my head inspired by my life temping which I could never figure out a proper beat for it.
I need to find a screenwriting workshop. Otherwise, I'm writing a fanfic. And maybe bugging someone to read the damn thing since I need to rein in my rambling style.
Oh, we are also a week away from a momentous occasion: for you see, in a week, I will be a month away from finishing up my debt!
Yes! This beloved month will begin with the countdown! From there, I will try my hardest to make sure not to spend money! Once I have reached the month from next week, I will triumph and we will begin the clearing of Michelle's debts!
Speaking of which, we argued again because of how slow I was this morning. We'll get over it. We always do.
