One more thing off the list...

thistlechaserA post containing many random things.
* I sent Heidi an email this morning, letting her know I was stepping down as a FA mod. It was the next step in my attempting to cut back on on-line work (and thus, hopefully, stress); I wish I could have remained one for longer, but this was really something I had to do. (If I had stuck around I would have started slacking off and cutting corners -- I'd rather leave while still doing the job right than stick around and be a sucky worker.)
* My sister sent me an email this morning. I got her and her husband a digital camera for Christmas, but she doesn't like the one I picked out and so wants to return it. Grumble. Ungrateful kid.
* It's Too Damned Cold here! It was 33 when I left the house this morning. That's a degree from freezing! I could see my breath! Aie! It's supposed to be warm here in the winter! (But on the other hand, my oranges are nearly orange. I wonder if they needed the cold to make them finally turn colors?)
* I left hp_dungeons and a couple of other LJ communities. Need to cut back more, but I'm not sure from where yet. I can't handle 300 or so new posts a day. I like LJ, but I don't like feeling like I *have to* check it many times a day or I'll fall behind and never catch up.
* I had a great dream last night. All the PoT guys were sitting in a tree (K-I-S-S... no, wait). While they weren't kissing, they were so close and so comfortable with each other and you could just feel the love. Like Momo was sitting on a branch with his back to the trunk, and Echizen was leaning back into him, Momo hugging him loosely from behind. They were just so relaxed and comfortable -- it was so great to see. A whole tree full of them!

...or are you using Faerenheight(I so know I spelt that wrong..)?

Date: 2003-12-16 04:14 pm (UTC)I'm used to water freezing when it hits Nil - because then, there's /no/ heat left in the air. It makes more sense to me than thirty-two, anyways. I guess it works for you, though.

Shame on you!
;)

Date: 2003-12-16 04:46 pm (UTC)I was thinking about this just this morning, and was rather sad. I really do focus mostly on one thing at a time, and it's shifting away from HP. I haven't read a HP fanfic in weeks, and I haven't read any of the HP100 or HPsquick100 drabbles this week or last... I'm seriously thinking about stopping writing them. But I don't want to go! Don't wanna leave the fandom! I'm hoping I can balance more than one "love" at a time, but I think a key to that is to stop making HP into work (which means more like "no more forced drabble writing" than "no more modding", but both count).
I just don't understand it. How can I not really care for the HP characters so much anymore? When I loved them for a whole year?
Bah. :(
