HELLO FRIENDS, I have survived(?) exam season, and my brain does, as anticipated, have the consistency of scrambled eggs. I've been alternating between staring into the void, napping, and playing video games that I have minimal emotional investment in, and that's it. BUT there are only sixteen twelve nine working days to go until I break up from work for the summer, so I CAN MAKE IT.

... I was gonna launch into a "what I've been up to since I first tried to write this post" and seriously, scrambled eggs for brains.

• I made a crack about not having Hobonichi money at the end of March, then went "ACTUALLY —" (I do not have hobonichi money. I did the thing anyway because I have zero impulse control.) I think I need to figure out how image hosting works so that I can talk about it properly? Or at least go "Witness the conspiracy board I made to help me with puzzle games" and "I have a normal amount of feelings about the Undertale Fish Lady."


• Oh yeah, I played Undertale over the weekend, and what the fuck.


• Probably mentioned this before, but one of the ADHD books I read suggested a rule of getting rid of two commitments before adding one, because, y'know, ADHD is a neverending refrain of "That's too many battles, put some back." I try to apply it to media as well because of the zero impulse control thing, which has... Varying levels of success. >_> But I've F I N A L L Y finished enough video games that I've cancelled out the deficit I went into during the new year's sale! \o/
  
  • Q: Susan, do you really need to do bookkeeping to manage your fun?
    A: I need to do bookkeeping to stop me buying a load of new books/games without ever finishing the old ones, so yeah!
  
  
  • Genuinely this is the best motivation for finishing things that I have. Doing things because I enjoy them? Weak. Can't always stand up against ~the depression.~ The satisfaction of making lists and crossing things off? Unstoppable.
  
  
  • That said, I used up all of my new book credits and now I have to read something I already own, which is just rude. I want to buy the new Cat Sebastian!


• Went looking for something in my old drafts, and holy shit I used to write fic. Like. Actually good fic. How.


• I can use an overlocker now! The internet managed to set the terror level of threading it about right, in that I was dreading it and now that I've done it a few times it's fine. Like. I don't wanna change colours much if I don't have to, but it's doable! So far I have only misjudged where the knife was and put ONE hole in my pyjamas. ... Also holy shit you guys, finishing seams with an overlocker is fucking magic and I'm into it.


• Started watching old episodes of The Great Pottery Throwdown. Kiln Master Rose has always been life goals/wife goals, what the hell.


• We have been cat sitting for a couple of friends! Cat is very cute! Unless Lex is in a room that she can't access, in which case she S C R E M.

And... That's it, I think? One day I'll make short posts in one sitting, today is not that day, etc etc etc. ♥
