Para [livejournal.com profile] battymaiden; ella puede probarme. Y puedo practicar el escribir.

(No, no me siento como el trabajo todavía. Porque puedo oír a mi compañero de trabajo el reganar de un cliente en el teléfono. Como si fueran un niño.)

Sí, todo el esto tradujo mi Google, no yo.

Now, does that bring back every horror of 5th grade Spanish?

Keep moving Looky Lous, nothing to see here. Just waiting for the body to stop twitching.

**********

Fighting with myself all day….want to write have to keep working focus focus. Feeling aggravated with self.

Since today…yesterday….last week(s)… have wanted to write—

***********

Virtues of vice---or at least the attraction of character flaws that people want to exorcise from my mind/actions/emotions.

My reticence? Indeed, causes me the loss of many potential friends. I’ve often been told that I come across as cool, withdrawn…shutter, putting up walls.
And these dear friends that I’ve lost, who have lamented this? Most fantastic wall builders I’ve witnessed. Emotional Masons.

Likewise, the people who have urged me to be more extroverted, to contact others and themselves---are the ones I never hear from The most glowing lights in the social firmament, the most technologically advanced mammals on the planet cannot deal with phones, e-mails or postage stamps.
Please feel free to ignore me….but do not waste my time by urging me to contact you in the first place. Just ignore me—save us both the time.

********

Keep waffling back and forth. Sent a letter to my instructor informing her that I wanted….no, I did not. I sent a note asking what she thought. Could I stay in the class even after blowing off the whole 2nd week and quiz.

This morning: Half wanting her to write back and say it could be done.

And this afternoon….I don’t want to. No, not even wanting this class. I don’t want to be on another schedule. It is to the point where I cannot even schedule myself to do things I want to do: set down time to write, to paint, to practice music, to crochet or knit or stitch.

Because I can’t stand having one more action, any action, as scheduled. As required,
No more mustdo shoulddo oughtto haveto. No no no. No more.

Because I can’t decide what I MustShouldOughtHave to do. All are important, all take priority, all must be done because of deadline or previous delays. Because they will never get done.

Because I can’t find any one project that is worth pursuing. That will be worth the time, as it is useless,
Or worth the effort, because I cannot do these projects, because they so often turn out badly done, feebly done, amateurish. Because they turn out so WRONG.

********
Time to stop. Time to go and do another ShouldOught. On schedule to leave one place with work undone, and go to another and start another attempt in a set time frame.

Later down the rabbit hole…no wait, I’m late for the rabbit hole. Or at least the rabbit.
Very late for very important epoch.

I have time to actually relax and enjoy the holiday, and do all the things I wanted to do.

Bake. Find gifts. Get together with people. Play music...or just play.

So, in a tradition established by meself and me mum.....Christmas is extended to January 31. If I can keep the mood going.

Yep, some of you are extending it until Jan 6. I'm going to go long.

This because it didn't feel like Christmas---REALLY feel the way it used to---until Christmas Eve. And I felt like the Grinch and my heart, or Christmas spirit, or Winter Solstice glow, started to grow inside. So, I have some catching up to do.

OK, this doesn't affect the spin of the universe. Just needed to post.
jinglejinglejingle. And love to you all.

is asleep, sleepy, hungover, or at a faire.
Or more likely, a combination of the above.

Drowsy. Have pulled out sewing to finish up. Seems SO close to the finish line. Will do this before schoolwork.
And if brother has not called me by 2pm, will call him. If he is not coming up today, I will go visit Dad today, and my bro and sis-in-law can move that lounge chair by themselves tomorrow.

I. Already. Have. Plans.

And not to jinx. But life is starting to feel content. Maybe. Maybe things are getting settled. I feel very supported by My Other Family.

Even the weekend feels...relaxed, despite deadlines. I will get stuff done, or I won't.
And I'm getting to faire, come hell or....ah, you know my usual rant.

Liftdate: Not really an update of important stuff.
Was ill most of Thursday, fierce headache and fever. Went home and slept after moving Dad.
Woke up Friday, when into work. Tired, headache came back with the storm. Called Dad, promised to bring him a Thomas Brothers map of the area.

Went to Borders briefly after work, then on to In Sheeps Clothing, to check out yarn for afghans, new wood needles, patterns....and that lovely, bestest, Irish Crochet book (from Ireland, for once!) that I've ever seen on the topic. Have been putting off this purchase for a few months.

Sold. Damndamndamn. The world won't stop spinning, probably best I didn't spend the money....but damn.
Lovely book, clear details on the basic forms and fills, and interviews with elderly ladies in/near Monaghan county.

The store said they will likely reorder. Amazon has a few copies. But it's just...fun to wander among the colors and textures, browse through The Book to entice myself, and maybe give myself a treat.

I just wanted 'my toy' last night. You feel ill, you want a toy.

Headache came back nasty. Slept on and off through the evening and night after I got home. Nothing practical done, weird dreams. Will visit Dad today, shop for battery for laptop, do homework, sewing work, maybe get out. Oh, yeah, still need to get yarn.

1. Fri, 7:45pm. Ever waste time reading someone else’s LJ? I mean, going back in their archives a few years to see what they are like, what they are going through?

And sometimes, it’s not really a waste of time. Sometimes, you run across folks who are saying what you wish you could, but you are too dippy to write it as well as they do—or too nervous / self conscious to let yourself do so.

And good goddess, sometimes you find yourself reading exactly what is going on in your head and heart. Even the negative, hurtful things. And they done it, thought it, worried it, guilted it, raged and ranted and funked it.

And then they wrote about it.

And I’ll continue in these tales, and see how the princes and princess turned out in their adventures.
