updates

sooo... i may or may not have stopped blogging for a while there. similar to what i do with journalling; i tend to drop it during periods when i'm not doing much of anything, because i habitually avoid situations where i have to admit to myself or others that i haven't done anything much for weeks on end.

so, brief highlights:

• got my associate's in creative writing from my community college.
• did basically nothing in June. i wrote like 1k in the We Die Like Fen exchange, and started playing Stellaris. that's it.
• came out to my immediate family as a trans guy at the end of June.
• went to RTX with my cousin
• haven't done much after that, except i did a moderate Kondo-ing of my clothes over the last few days.
• and finally, i've started playing Your Turn To Die. i'm in the middle of Chapter Two, Part One currently, and am enjoying it.

i... was going to maybe write some thoughts on where i am in YTTD, but honestly i should probably sleep instead, and post about it later. i'm mostly posting this in the hopes that maybe i'll stop feeling the need to avoid posting on Dreamwidth because of brain bugs.

this summer... man. i don't know. at the beginning i dearly wanted the relaxation of not having classes; especially towards the end of the spring semester, i was... not exactly downward-spiraling, but i was failing to keep up with homework in several classes. but now it kind of feels like i'm in the doldrums. sigh.

Hey, you earned a break after completing your associates! WELL DONE!

Tim was playing Stellaris really hardcore. That game was too much for me, I tried it on the free weekend and just could not deal with all of the things going on. Civ is my limit to that kind of micromanaging game LOL.

Hope you feel less doldrum-y soon. Are you going to take classes in the fall?

thanks! hard to really feel accomplished, i guess, but it's not nothing.

my brother got me into Stellaris, and i'm definitely enjoying it -- ironically, he's the one who sometimes says he just doesn't bother with certain mechanics because "too much micromanagement." that said i suffer a little in multiplayer games with him because i'm used to pausing whenever i feel like it so i can figure out what i should be doing -- you can still pause in multiplayer, actually, but i still wind up pausing less. i still overall like Civ more, though.

not going to take classes in the fall -- at least partially because in June i was both still feeling kinda iffy about school bc of my spring semester, and then as i kept procrastinatory-avoiding the subject, i wound up missing the deadline to apply for readmission to my previous university (the one i was at for a depressed year before community college), and long story short i'm probably going to try to look for a part time job in the fall instead (which i need anyway if i want to be buying any more games or going to any more cons.)

At least you've got a goal. :) Fall is right around the corner too, ugh can't believe it is August this week!!

Congratulations on your degree and on coming out!! :D I hope it went well, or at least not badly. <3

I totally get not posting when not much is going on (or when there's too much!). I've been avoiding my blog like the plague, but I keep meaning to update, I do! Ahh the struggles of blogging, lol.

the struggles of blogging, indeed :p
