An Internal Monologue

I was just sitting around and reading some webcomics before I went to sleep when I realized that I haven't posted anything on here since... January. And even then, I think that I've posted so little on this blog that I scarcely deserve to have people look at it. Is anyone still out there?

My key-word for the past month (and the next) is: Busy. Maybe not objectively, but my natural disposition towards procrastination has been flaring up and I've watched entire days disappear into the void of "what was I doing?" Also, I've somehow let financial responsibility slip, and am finding myself in an unfortunate little debt. Nothing horrendously serious, but I'm going to have to watch my budget closely for a few months.

School is plunking along, as well as it does. I think I've got some idea what I want to do with my life, but right now, I just want a break from school. I really want to get my Associate Degree finished (not as close as I'd like it to be) and find some work that isn't with my Father. I'm seeking a life change-up of some major sort, and I don't think it involves me packing up and moving somewhere else.

Spring Mysteries is coming up. I'm not nearly as prepared as I should be, but everything is still coming together, so I'm not on the cusp of worry yet. As a rule, pressure = performance for me, and if last year is anything to go on, I'm not doing bad. Unfortunately, I still have to sit down and do a lot of thinking and writing work, and scheduling that into my world is being more troublesome than it should. I'm devoting Tuesday day to it. Hopefully I won't accidenally sleep for 12 hours :)

The first story of Nobilis is finally drawing to a close, having had a good run from July 17th to March 12th (9 Months, 8 Sessions). I'm really happy with how the story is wrapping up, and hope that the complexity is not lost on most of the players. I've learned a lot from running Nobilis, and I'm ready to spend a month or two of work to re-adjust and incorporate, and get back on running. Come June, I'm looking forward to a whole new adventure.

I think I'm well and solidly back on my feet now, as far as physical and emotional health is concerned. I'm still having the occasional problem with anxiety, and the slightly-more-than-occasional bout of stomach issues, but they're all finally in a place where they aren't major, and I don't feel completely out of control of myself. Hooray.

And Tyler's back. In fact, he's sprawled out on my couch right now. Which is cool.
