jabber_mooseaka: in which I'm starting to feel like a person again and not a blob!
I've started getting back into exercising with RingFit. I've been stubborn about moving my Switch back and forth between my bedroom and living room, so i've compromised with myself by doing the rhythm games, which don't need stretching or too much moving, and focus on the parts of my body that really need the work. Plus, the rhythm games are so fun. It's helping me get back into a routine during the Off Days where i don't want to leave my room, but i'm at least exercising.
Joined the DMBJ Discord server! I have this awful habit of going into servers and immediately entering lurk mode, but i was determined NOT to do that, even if it meant me hanging out and posting pics of animals until I got comfortable to participate in Fandom Stuff (Which worked!). It helps that everyone is genuinely so cool and kind and awesome.
Joined a Bad Buddy server! I think part of my issue with servers is i get a little overwhelmed if they're large and established, but this one was already a small one and is steadily starting to grow. Everyone is super sweet and funny but i think part of me is a little held back because a lot of the members skew a little...young, and even though everyone's legal, there are just some things I'm not comfortable discussing (like brainstorming any PWPs). There are a few people more my age, at least.
Joined a Bad Buddy writing exchange! Me! A writing exchange! For a New Show/Fandom! I always feel like i see writing exchanges right when it's too late or just passed (other than the Guardian one a few months back, that was an anomaly). Again, i think small tends to work better for my nerves.
I went to Brooklyn yesterday to meet up with the guy I've been in contact with for the Job Thing- he wanted me to see the location of one of the facilities (which just started construction yesterday, so that was pretty cool to see it slowly coming together and understand the layout). I'm really, really excited about this opportunity- i just have to really sit down and think about how the hours/scheduling will work for me since it's about an hour commute on the subway.
Speaking of DMBJ- started a rewatch with a friend (their first time). We started last week with the first Lost Tomb and are now almost done with Ultimate Note. It is an absolutely DELIGHTFUL experience and I love being responsible for suffering.
Continuing my weekly dinner/socialization with my friend in the building. It's really nice having a routine and something to look forward to, especially since we're very similar, get along great and just understand each other. We both need just a little push to get out of the apartment, have dinner and bubble tea, kvetch about the week, and it just recharges both of us.
Next week, we are finally transitioning the Puppy to one longer visit per day as opposed to the 2x/day, since he's a Big Boy now. I'm looking forward to that (Not that i don't love him to pieces, but I'm happy not to be walking back and forth to him twice per day within a couple hours, and he's needed that change for awhile now.)
I've been bouncing around character ideas for this year's Titanic RPG, as mentioned last time, and I'd finally decided to just roll the character TTRPG style and make someone up off those stats. Of course, as soon as i mentioned that in my server with the people i play it, they all started begging for my character from 2 years ago to come back (Cole- an OC i created in 2005 but wanted to try out on Titanic, my beloved former bi hitman/reforming assassin that apparently people had the HOTS for and were hitting on him and uh...i Missed That Memo until after he died). I'm not interested in bringing him back only because he had a STORY with a specific group of characters, and it doesn't feel right to rehash his story like that, especially when so many people knew him.
(So, very likely bringing on a Very Charming Fella who may be tilting more toward Himbo Territory, who knows. Help!)
Writing! Also A Thing! Currently battling a Bad Buddy fic that started off very PWP in my head but seems to ALSO want to be a soft, emotional, introspective character study, so brain and i are having sit down meetings to negotiate a compromise. (HELP!)
We're supposed to be having a winter storm this weekend. For NYC that usually means everyone panics and there'll be a couple of feet that will be gone by the end of the day or the following day, but i'm not going to jinx it or take chances, so may just need to do a food delivery.
This...is getting way too long, and much longer than I would have liked, so if you stuck through me sorting out my jumble of a brain, hello, thank you, and i hope you're having a lovely day!
