Jan. 29th, 2019 10:17 pmHoosband's been out of town since Friday, and it's been ... pretty tiring. I mean, Rutabaga's a good kid, and bedtime isn't actually that bad. It's just that by this morning's "Rutabaga dawdles while I panic about getting to work on time", it's been 5 days. Plus I miss the human interaction with Hoosband after I put her to bed. I'm really looking forward to him getting home tomorrow night! (His flight got canceled so he had to reschedule to an airport that's 2 hours away. :/)
( work whining, which is why this post is f-locked )
I think some of my frustration and discombobulation has to do with the fact that my current fandom interaction/activities is very different from the established patterns of the last 2 years, so it's not fulfilling the same needs. One of those square peg round hole situations.
I need to write a rec for someone, so no time to do a more thorough reflection right now, but:
Before Nov 2018, I'd:
- check the trashmeme every day to satisfy my fic reading desires
- check tumblr for ~5 minutes whenever I want a dose of that tumblr exuberance
- be on a few slow slacks that kept me updated on stuff like trailer releases
- do some mod-related work about once a week -- mostly because organizing spreadsheets gives a great sense of achievement
- draw a lot
Now I:
- check my DW reading page every day
--- this generates a bunch of open tabs, half of which are articles and the other half are fics
--- this also generates a desire to write meta and serious posts
- the slow slacks have gotten slower, while the discords have picked up. There isn't really a happy medium for me of chatroom style interaction
- I don't check tumblr because I'm still bitter about them deleting my entire account. (but the other night I went there and I laughed more in 5 minutes of scrolling than I did all week, so... maybe I should add a few tumblr feeds?? I tried twitter but it's too much?????)
- just started going to hubzilla yesterday???
- stopped visiting trashmeme -- I don't know why????
- I haven't drawn or done mod work in more than a week. Once again, I don't know why?????
Like, obviously I need to consolidate, but in which direction?
