05-2018. edited this just because i forgot the title the first time.
Taking a moment out to write more things down. This weekend was simultaneously exhilarating, reassuring and heavy - heavy for reasons that are currently sorting themselves out though, so please don't worry friends. I will be okay.
Girls Got Game is now Play Without Apology/PWOA. I don't have the words to describe how grateful I am that all the effort, all the waiting, all the everything has brought me and the other site parents to this moment. There are many plans for this year, and I hope we'll be able to see some - if not, all - of it through.
Went out to lunch with Pio on Monday because he was in the office. It is nice being able to talk to an older brother who UNDERSTANDS, and - when he does not - is willing to listen.
Between his presence and my own, I think the family company will be okay.
Moving my free day to Fridays so that I almost always have an auto-long weekend. My free day used to be in the middle of the week because of the way things were in FEU but now it seems to make more sense for me to have an extended break rather than chopping things up in the middle of everything and still feeling tired.
Yesterday was challenging because as things are wont to go, family and family business plus personal matters will find new and creative ways of slamming into you all at the same time and a body and heart can only take so much. Thankfully, Card Captor Sakura was around for me to wile the hours away and reboot my brain.
Fun fact: this is the first time I am legit reading CCS. I wish I had gotten on the boat sooner now; the series is queer as fuck.
Am also revisiting Natsume Yuujinchou because I blinked and holy shit there are six seasons? LAST I CHECKED THERE WERE ONLY THREE.
Conversations with good folks last Saturday had me reflecting once again on all the narratives that truly influenced mine. Natsume was definitely one of them. X/1999 was another (also, admittedly, the reason why Hikaru Shinta has violet eyes yes shut up I know), together with Mushishi and XXXHoLiC. One day I will list down all the things that really informed my writing, and, by extension, my tabletop campaigns.
Judith-bee helped me figure out what might be causing my primer and face to eat my makeup up. Now I just need to buy a primer that'll test this theory without destroying my wallet. After a smol pep talk from the parents, I have decided to lower my CC expenses per month down from P12,000.00 to P8,000 or less, with occasional P10,000.00 if there is something I truly, truly need. Am also making good on ferrying away all the red bills and loose change for more savings.
I have enjoyed my money a whole lot as of late, but I am also getting older. I do wish, though, that more people would get how hard it is to save up when you don't actually have a lot of net pay to go around. I have never earned monthly past 28k in my life, and note: I pay for my own upkeep, meds and all, pretty much all the time on top of contributions to the household.
I know, by far, that I am still much better off than most. I don't need to pay for my own food, my own electricity and rent, and even my own clothes on occasion. Nevertheless, I think everyone deserves to feel like they aren't just working for work's sake more often than not.
Creative cycles are strange. I have been on a picset mood as of late for my tabletop, and I still have a lot of world building in the wings.meiyamie has also had me revisiting some of my old fanfiction since she is on a writing trip herself. Then there are, as always, playlists to sort out, and all those old bits - fanfiction, fiction, long fanfiction, original projects - that I have not gotten back to. THEN there are articles for PWOA.
Where Am I Gonna Get the Time: Season 32.
Still tripping out on Nier Automata songs. They're the best okay FITE ME IF YOU DISAGREE.
Note to self: clean your fucking room. Stop thinking about it. Just do it.
