Um. Failing at LJ.

[valis2]

I somehow have lost the will to post. heh.

Actually, I have more long entries in my head than ever. I have a few unusual recs to do, and some book reviews, and I've been bottlenecked in reading X-Files by this ginormous Deeper Mary Sue thing that is making me squee with h/c happies. It's also making me pull out my hair every time something Sueish creeps in. But I'm not actually managing to put the entries together, which is vexing me. Usually the LJ entries flow like water. As you all know. It's a nice way of saying I'm spammy, lol.

I came back to work today, and all seemed...lost, at first, but then later my boss was actually joking with me. I have no idea what this means. I'm just going to cross my fingers and try to hide under my desk as much as possible for the next two weeks.

I've been writing more Riptide fanfic, and my head is swirling with ideas (not coffee grounds, thank goodness) and I didn't get enough sleep last night. I am going to bed early tonight. *nodnod*

January is one of the worst months for me. Just like April/May. It's because of the huge demarcation of going away for a month in Jan/Feb and May/June. As soon as I hit January 1st, the countdown suddenly seems that much realer and closer and it makes me squirm. I have to start making my Huge Checklist and stuff. I was planning on taking my computer and my scanner and my printer and both of my rolling organization units and doing Etsy and eBay while I'm there, but I have really thought about it and I'm afraid that my scanner will finally give up the ghost, and it's just so awkward, and I could only do maybe two auctions during the whole month because of the schedule, so I think I might have to leave it all at home. Which is good in terms of not damaging my beloved things, but bad in terms of money coming in. And conversing online. I will really have very little access to y'all, as usual when I go out of town. Only I'll have more time to not be online. wah. I must bring books. Lots of books. And paper. I really need to try to write some stuff while I have a month of not online.

Okay, I think I've exceeded my usual whine quotient for an LJ entry. Night, flist.

I feel the same about posting myself lately. I make comments but rarely make a post of my own. Not sure if it's the time of the year or some more sinister but - I don't know.

And after reading your posts about riptide I actually looked up the opening credits. Damn they're good. I may have to think about doing a vid to that opening...

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! It was a cheesy, fun show. I know the Riptide comm (pier56) would love to see what you come up with!! As would I!!!

[greenpear.livejournal.com]

Well it's on my list. My very long  list of mash-up to do. Not sure how long it will take to get to though...

But I'm thinking of you...

[little-tristan.livejournal.com]

I think I'm posting less overall because my posts tend to be outlets for weird feelings, and I'm expressing them more in chat now. Perhaps we should copy parts of the chats and post them.:)

Also, maybe I missed something, but where are you going for a month? Will there be computers there?

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

Oh lord. You make me want to start a "get Valis a netbook" fund! :P

Love you honey. If you might feel like a phone call or anything, email before you go & we'll set something up, eh?

*squishes*

[hardboiledbaby]

Aw, more time but limited online access is definitely *waah*

A whole month without Valis will be a month without sunshine, sweetie. Write and read lots and lots! (I know you haven't left yet, but still...) *smishes you*

[milomaus.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! No Valis for an eternity...I just met you, but you got me hooked in no time... The only good things are: You´ll be coming back, right???
And maybe you´ll be coming back with another looooooong story of Nick and Cody????
That would be so boss!

*hugs in advance*

I somehow have lost the will to post. heh.

Actually, I have more long entries in my head than ever.

For me these two things are often related. I'm not sure which is a result of which, but it seems like when my head's full of entries I can't actually find the will to just sit down and write them.

WAH, a month of not online. You shall be missed. >_>

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Chat is awesome. Chat definitely robs me of some of the will to post, lol.

I'm leaving on the 20th and will be gone for a month. Off to WI. One of my two month-long trips for the year.

I'll be able to email, as we do, but I'm not certain what else as of yet. :(

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! I have really considered getting a netbook, but sometimes it's good to step away from the computer, you know? ;)

*huggles* I'll let you know! But I'm not sure I'll have much time. :(

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it sucks. I'll have a couple hours to myself each morning, which would be awesome for computing, but without a computer, all is lost. :(

I'll be leaving around the 20th, so you'd better stock up on the sunshine! lol.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I'm not leaving until the 20th, fortunately! So hopefully I'll have time to write something little before I go, at the very least. *grins*

:) *hugs*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

My head is swimming! It's a weird thing. So much to say, but then I look at the entries and I just don't get around to them.

And yeah, I hate the month away. I mean, I can email a little, but much more than that, and I'd be a little wary of using friends' connection for. y'know? It's all well and good to read trashy fanfic with mine, but I hate doing that with someone else's.

*hugs*

[idleleaves.livejournal.com]

It's definitely weird. >_>

It's all well and good to read trashy fanfic with mine, but I hate doing that with someone else's.

ROFL, exactly. I loathe doing that on any connection but my own secure one. Not on free wi-fi and certainly not on anyone else's connection. Eeek. Heh. I like my privacy.

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

Well, if you feel like talking to a human sometime, ya know. I'd be up late night your time, and sometimes even early morning your time. Heh. My sleep schedule, she is ...non-scheduled?

I do texts, now, too, since I got a phone with keyboard last year. Well, a bit over a year ago, can't say last year really.

*HUGS*
