So, umm, yeah.
Obviously, I've been not posting for quite a while. That's mostly from not really feeling that I have anything to say, and partly from having too much work to get done.
I probably won't get anything except some rants in (about the use of certain terms in English which don't seem to bother most people) for a while yet, either. C'est la vie.

contemplativeAfter an on-line conversation with aetherealcreepy, it's become
yet more clear to me that my communications skills are not what I'd like
them to be. Part of that's an outgrowth of who, or maybe I should say what,
I am - or have been, anyway. It's part of a Protector's job to
seem angry when the situation's confusing, since the combination of
confusing situation
and Protector is out
tends to mean that
the situation is potentially threatening.
Well, my understanding that mechanism doesn't help with how it feels to others. It also doesn't make it right for how things are now. Trying to learn other ways to handle things, though, is going to be tough. Oh, in the abstract, it looks easy. When the ordure hits the rotating air-circulation device, however, it's tough to notice that it's a situation where something new should be tried, instead of what's become essentially reflexive. *sigh*
At least I know that it will be tougher than I'd like, since I've succeeded in some of it before. I've just had my nose rubbed in the fact that I'm not done with such things yet. Such fun.
discontentWell, I was sicker than I thought. My sister tried to take care of me, but that only did so much good. I still have an intermittent fever and swollen lymph glands, but it's all better than it was. So much fun.
In the meanwhile, it would seem that the SailorOrion quizzes have all disappeared. That kinda sucks, but it's the nature of the web these days.
I suppose I should start trying to add other stuff here, but there are a lot other things I need to do, too. Especially trying to catch up on both role-play and coding requests on Twilight, and updating my (more) permanent web page data. Maybe at some point I should even think about getting a life again, but I'm not sure at this point that it's really worth it. *sigh*
C'est la guerre.
listlessGee, it's so much fun to be sick. Not!
Had plans for the day, but they got tubed when I found myself spitting up everything down to my toenails this morning. Whee! Such fun. Slept most of the day. Well, more like tried to, since it wasn't very restful. Lack of physical affection, along with sexual frustration, made a hash of my dreams. And, of course, to make things just perfect, the plans that got scotched would have involved getting some of that missing affection. But enough of that - I hate the sound of my own kvetching.
Otherwise, last night (before I got feeling bad) I was browsing through some of the matching interests and such, and found plenty of interesting people and communities. Even if I don't wind up doing a lot of actual journaling per se here, it looks like a cool virtual "hangout" of sorts. And who knows? Maybe I'll even re-learn the art of journaling. Stranger things have happened. Especially to me. Besides, I can comment in friends' LJ entries now without it having to be anonymous. I just never was into doing it anonymously.
contemplativeHad some fun helping my niece's friend do some maintentance on her mohawk. The sides had grown out a lot, and needed shaving. She was all nervous about cuts, so I dug up an old electric razor that still works, and we used that. Some of it should still be touched-up by hand, with a regular razor, but it went pretty well. (:
amusedIt's fun to play with the customisation features, at least. I'm still not sure what I'm really going to do with this, but at least I'm entertaining myself today. (:
amusedWell, I've finally been tempted into this. Not at all sure what I'll use this for, since I'm not normally the journalling type, but we'll see.
