my current lease ends at the end of this year and have been thinking of places to move to. one place i'm considering is by the ocean, but the downside to that is that it's a bit of a drive from where i'm at now, and i'm afraid i'll be feeling lonely way more often without my friends and family nearby T_T
so maybe i might stay in the area? but it's also my dream to live near the ocean...i've got until the end of the year to think this all over, at least

Gratitude Journaling
Firstly, hello! I'm new to the comm.
Nearly three years ago now, I stumbled upon an Instagram reel that suggested you write down one good thing that happened to you every week on a piece of paper, and collect them in a jar. I thought this was such a lovely idea, so I naturally took it one step higher: I was going to write down one good thing that happened to me every day, in a journal.
Surprisingly, I've maintained this consistently for over two years, since the start of 2024. I'm the queen of never following through with my ideas/ambitions.
Naturally, the idea has evolved into its own thing. I generally write down something that made me happy in the day, if even just a little bit. I typically ask myself, "what am I grateful for today?" The answers don't have to be deep or philosophical, they can be (and often are) as simple as "the weather was nice."
On the surface, I know the sound of "gratitude journaling" can sound corny and even useless, but this has genuinely become an important part of my daily routine. It feels even cornier to admit that, when I truly reflect on it, this has positively affected my thinking as a whole. Apparently taking a moment to reflect on your day and pick out the happier parts does, in fact, do something!
A quick sampling of "answers" I've written down:
* Finished book, found a really cool sonic comic
* New intern was at work
* Had a BOMB ass nap
* The sunset was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
* Got on my computer finally and did some Tumblr editing
* Dinner was yummy soup & grilled cheese
These are all short ones. Sometimes I list a couple of things if my day was eventful.
I find that on more "boring" days, I struggle to find something truly "good." Since on these "boring" days I typically have done nothing out of the ordinary. On eventful days, I have a plethora of things to write down. I even find it easier to find something to write down on crummy days, since the happier parts are more shiny and sparkly against a backdrop of grey.
I want to leave this off with an encouragement to try this for just one week to see if it works for you. I started it because it sounded fun and very, very simple—and it is! I also had a journal I needed to do something with. I wasn’t considering the positive impact it would have on me in the long term—so don't expect this to be some miracle ritual, if you're anything like me. Anyway, try it out and see if the routine fits comfortably into your schedule.

Happy Wednesday!
I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!
Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!
Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

merlin, fanfic and the adhd hellscape
i finished elementary a week back and... i'm not revoking anything i said in my post. it just wasn't for me. overall i was a little disappointed to be totally honest. i dove into the tumblr tag (as i do upon finishing any media ever) and it seems to be widely beloved. i think it missed me quite spectacularly. ah, well.
i planned to re-watch merlin as soon as i had finished watching elementary, and now i'm there it's like a breath of fresh air. funnily enough, as much as i always adored it, i never sat down to watch merlin all the way through. i watched the odd episode here and there and i watched either series 3 or 4 as it aired. i avoided series 5 like the plague as i just knew what was going to happen. but now it's time to finally brave it!
and oh how i missed it. i forgot how much i loved these wonderful idiots. i don't know if it's because i've come straight off elementary, but it's really hit me just how much personality these characters have. i love all of them. especially merlin himself. my lord, he fits very snugly into my favourite type of character. he's a little ray of sunshine. i love him so so much. colin morgan too.
right now i am on series 2 episode 13. i've been watching as i draw or spin and it's been a jolly old time.
of course, with a new hyper fixation comes with the urge to write fanfic. i've always been a prolific whump / hurt/comfort writer. it's all i write to be completely honest. it's all i particularly enjoy writing. if i'm not writing whump i'm leading up to it. it's incredibly cathartic for me, as i'm sure it is for a lot of people. i've always thought it would be interesting to give my fic to a therapist and see what they can deduce about me from it, but it would feel like exposing a vulnerable piece of my soul. there's a reason why i never share my fic with people in my real life. i have at least 5 new fic ideas buzzing around the brain, all for merlin, all incredibly whumpy.
so then you would think i would be able to sit and write it.
this is my biggest struggle with adhd, even with medication. doing things. it is easier than it was before, but i still struggle. it's executive dysfunction, i think, combined with task switching (idk if this is more of an autism thing? have both makes it extremely difficult to untangle traits) i will sit with the document open, lost in my own thoughts for ages before i can actually start. once i do i'm usually on a roll. i wrote somewhere in the area of 2k words this morning, but it was exhausting. i love writing and it frustrates me that i can't just do it.
i feel rusty, too. my writing feels creaky. i feel like i've written so much better before and i can't get up to that level again.
on friday i'll be attending a lesson on adult adhd at the recovery college. i've done group things before, i did an online thing under the nhs not long after i was diagnosed. it was helpful just to learn about adhd, fill in blanks and answer a lot of questions i had about myself. it was only a couple of years ago and i've forgotten everything we covered. i'm hoping friday will be insightful.
i think what i really need is an adhd coach. i need to learn how to make my brain work for me... but i have no idea how much that would cost. i have savings, but as someone who can't work it's difficult for me to dip into them. these things are usually eye-wateringly expensive. perhaps this is something i can ask about at the session on friday.
i'm going to see if i can squeeze out a couple hundred more words.

Are you a Man or a Mouse?
I don't know why people keep saying this in response to team losses. Nuggets lose Game 2 yesterday in a splendidly embarassing fashion. We were leading like 14 in the first quarter, lost the lead in the second but Jamal threw a half-court buzzer beater to tie us. Then we just kind of fell apart in the clutch, had baffling plays and rotations, whole works. Now everywhere I go online people are dooming about it. Downer day.
Anyway that's just a non-sequitur for the rest of this post, because I've been feeling more mouse than man recently. Personal doomerisms under the cut, here be dragons.
Update Today
(It was like 4AM when I wrote the above)
Well, more bad news. Victor Wembanyama fell head-first on the court and was visibly unconscious for a few seconds. He definitely has a concussion and I wish him a good recovery. The Spurs also lost to the loathsome Blazers after this. Go Spurs Go!
In good news, I was pondering more on my dissociation and stint with DID/plurality communities, when I came across some more articles describing something like what I've been experiencing. I was very familiar with the ANP/EP framework (Apparently Normal Part / Emotional Part) with DID. This broadly describes the role parts play in systems. You have the ANP(s) who keeps things suppressed but functioning and EPs who struggle with trauma time, unhealthy coping mechanisms, the works.
But I've somehow missed Nijenhuis' framework of Ignorance, Fragility and Control. A redditor better explained it as Daily Life / Defensive / Autonomy action systems. So Ignorance would be parts that lack inner awareness while maintaining a functional outward appearance, like the ANP. Fragility is parts that hold defensive coping mechanisms against threats that were/are still present, like the EP.
But the most resonant with me is the concept of a Control or Autonomy part. Because yes, that is very much more in line with what my system is centered around. In my noggin, once you cut past the avoidancy, the pleasure-seeking, the desire to be normal, it really just seems like there's someone who wants control over their environment again. Something that has rarely if ever been afforded to me.
I like this article explaining Control-based systems, titled The Other Face of DID. I have read it before, but never really thought it strongly applied to myself because I feel rather lacking in control of my impulses. You would never see me turn to work as a relief mechanism, and I can't diet or exercise for shit. But everything else rings true. (side note: This blog is also a genuinely helpful and well-researched resource for people with trauma and dissociation)
So what's next in line? I feel like I don't have time to reflect on this further, because whatever happens, I have to somehow finish out my university year and graduate. The question remains: Am I a man or a mouse?

Closer to 40 than 30.I mostly post about:
I've only just started this journal, though I've used Dreamwidth sporadically before. I plan to mainly write about my writing progress, my writing projects, thoughts on writing, authors/poets I'm reading (English) and similar.My hobbies are:
Poetry, roleplaying, writing, ballet, art, icon making (sporadically and mostly RP-related) and scrapbooking/collage-making.My fandoms are:
I'm not active in any fandoms rn, though in the past I've been active in the Takarazuka Revue fandom and the Danish ballet fandom. I am, however, running the poetry prompt challenge community,25poemsamonth, if that counts as a fandom.I'm looking to meet people who:
Like to write, will share their writing with me, their writing progress, ups-downs, writing journal, research, thoughts. Just writing, ok.My posting schedule tends to be:
Honestly, probably sporadic, but as I'm beginning to work on an English-language verse novel soon, I hope to be a little more active than just once a month.When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

I got drunk again.
So... I'm living some of the weirdest days of my life rn. I'm balsically laid off my job, my employer said he don't want to see my face this week so I'm not making any money till I get back. Idk if I'm the problem or if it's the fact that the place is almost shutting down from crippling debt.
I'm searching for new jobs but I can't find one, guess I'll be unemployed forever. Anyways.
I've been struggling a bit lately regarding my psychiatric appointments. My psychiatrist just left me be so I had to restart my whole treatment, so I decided on my own I'd stop taking my meds. While I do not recommend anyone to do that, I still think it was right for me and the situation I was in. I was at the end of my treatment and getting off my meds, so by stopping I'm either no longer mentally ill or I've developed a new harmful strain of mental illness that I'll carry for the rest of my life.
That being said, I'm not an alcoholic (I can stop whenever I want ok?) I just made the habit of drinking at sundays... Today is not a sunday, but it's a holiday so it's basically sunday.
I'm eating fried chicken and I hate feeling my fingers greasy. Nasty. I'm not greasing my whole keyboard so I was sure to finish eating first before writing.
I have to stop defaulting to my self destructive behaviour every time things go wrong. It's beyond my control but I have to try a little harder. That said, I'm doing my best to finish my thesis and it's going great so far. That's my last year at college so I gotta do things right for once. I'm also working on a game that I hope I can finish this year.
Sorry for the messy post and messy life, I'm not pathetic off of the internet I swear. I just hope I can get back to writing soon because I've been so fucking busy with college stuff lately it's not even funny.

📨 letter from the editor
hello hello! I'm a little out of practice in writing. but as I seem to do.. coming back to writing in march. I get so twisted up about setting goals for the new year... its funny, in the last weekly reporter I talk about the first ever and it pretty much coincides with this week/this reporter.
I originally coded this back in january as a way to ease back into writing for reporter and encouraging some monthly reflection... but well then january turned into february into march and now here we are. I do think it is a little cuter as a quarterly recap but when you dont really do a good job setting goals for the year or the quarter its a bit hard to recap heh... well I'll get it all figured out. better to write something up than to keep dragging my feet writing nothing.
I'll keep most of the highlights for the monthly recaps down below.. there's so much to catch up on and to talk about I'm feeling a little overwhelmed!!
— january
january rolled by very slowly.. I ended up going to a bodybuilding posing seminar and now I'm getting ready to compete in a bodybuilding show x_x ANYWAY. CW: food / eating / food tracking
I have a coach and I'm tracking everything I put into my mouth... its been very fun! I have always been worried about the concept of tracking my calories as I was afraid of giving myself an eating disorder... but its more like a game I've found so far. which probably sounds insane but its fun to hit my goals. I'm following a macro plan so it's less restrictive- I can eat whatever as long as it fits in my macros. anyway. what I've found is that I'm making healthier choices and surprise! I'm feeling better too! woah... eating fruits and veggies and lean protein actually keeps you full... and you still look super jacked? crazy.
the same weekend I went to the bodybuilding event, there was an event in dallas that I desperately wanted to go to called sprinkle trinkle town- which was an art market/artist convention with a ton of artists I admire and like. mark my words- I Will Be Going To The Next Sprinkle Trinkle Town. and One Day. I Will Vendor At Sprinkle Trinkle Town. a recurring dream/goal/wish of mine is to make art and have my own studio and art business (ok actually this is like The Big Goal Ever For Me. (but I'm scared)) T-T which is a lot easier than I make it in my brain... In the Year 2026... I will start Making Art Consistently !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what else happened in january...? we got snowed in so I rewatched the witcher with my mom. #notmywitcher ....
classes started back up in january as well.. I have ~roughly a year left in my mba!! woah!!! crazy!!!
— february
february was the month ever !!! I had two big events: valentines weekend and the concert double header weekend.
for valentines weekend, there was a love and deepspace valentines event! so I got in the car and drove down to dallas and had an AMAZING WEEKEND!!! they were looking for volunteers to run a little welcome table so I did that for the afternoon shift and it was so much fun!! I mean the event itself was also awesome- so much cute fanart and cute cosplays! they had a cute little cupsleeve event and a little valentines craft area. it was seriously wonderfully cute. I did a little closet cosplay based off of one of the MC's outfits and put together an itabag with the og3. i spent entirely too much on stickers and merch at this event LOL. I finally got some lads plushies!!! and a cute little zip-up lads hoodie that I've been wearing in the office while I play on my new pc~
since I was in dallas, I also stopped by microcenter because I made it a 2026 goal to finally build my pc! now I am a proud pc mama ! I had been planning to do this for like 5 ish years now so better late than never. I was also was afraid with the rising costs of ram I was never gonna be able to do it unless I bit the bullet- flashbacks to skipping on the cherry blossom ram in aug/sept because "it was too expensive for ram." X_x we arent going to talk about it. I need to come up with a name for my pc... and do a write up for pcpartspicker too... sigh. so many things to write up.....
at the end of the month, I pulled off the most party girl I've ever done. 3 flights for 2 different concerts in 1 weekend. bbno$ was playing in dallas on the 27th, so I left home and flew out to dallas. after a short nap, I got ready and spent the evening dancing to his ridiculous music. I didn't make any friends at this concert sadly so I went for a giant slice of pizza by myself afterward. after getting back to my hotel and going to bed at 1am, I turned around and took the hotel shuttle back to the airport at like 5 am.
for the second leg of this weekend, i flew out to st louis to see joey valence and brae again. this is the second half of their hyperyouth tour sponsored by monster. on their merch preview, they had this awesome zip-up hoodie with HOOLIGANG (their fanbase name and the name of one of their songs) on the front and their demonhead logo on the back. its so comfy and thick. its been my go to hoodie when I leave the house. I did make a friend at this concert and e was super cool !!! we managed to get our way to like the second row to barricade!!! for the show, JVB has like this list of rules: dance, make/bring a friend, wear a cool outfit, etc. its so fun for the fan culture. they also take pictures of their fans at every show and post them to @jvbhooligang on insta !!! so... you can see my outfit it was so hard to get the X and the swirl with the gemstones BUT they stayed in place all night despite me being SUPER SWEATY.
BUUUT the highlight of the st louis trip was I got to see my best friend j!!!!!! we've been friends forever so they picked me up from the airport and we got to spend the day hanging out before the concert. we hung around in this cute little historic downtown area. we started at a lovely little cafe and had matchas.. then we went to this cute little bookstore and stopped in a bunch of different shops. we rounded out it out by stopping in a cat cafe and playing with a bunch of cute cats!!! then we went to lunch, checked into the hotel and I got ready for my concert. j didnt want to go (since JVB is pretty rowdy LOL) so they got to spend some time with family in STL. after the show, I chattered at them before we went to bed. the next morning they dropped me off at the airport and I went home.
and while all I wanted to do was lay down and crash... I got roped into going out to lunch and then dinner LOL. I called into work the next day and slept like all day to recover.
— march
march has flown by so far. I have spring break next week... I went to a prospective students event and need to get my app in for law school... it feels good so far. my big goal for this month was to actually recap and write up this reporter so... goal achieved!!! yay!!!
currently, I'm helping my dad update my brother's old room into my new room. we scrapped the popcorn ceiling today and I think we are going to primer and paint it next weekend. dad also talked about ripping out the carpet in there and put down vinyl. we are also changing out the light fixture. and it makes me wanna remodel my own house even more.. its hard work but its fun too.
I have a lot of work to do going forward... but I'm on the cusp of some exciting stuff!!!

Not tolerant of bigotry in any form (racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc.) I do, unfortunately, have quite a few major squicks on the fannish front, so if you're posting things like adult/minor pairings and/or incest, I'm going to politely keep my distance.
Before adding me, you should know: I prefer to keep my journal SFW out of personal preference. Neurodivergent (autistic), highly anxious to the point I sometimes delete posts for whatever reason, although I'm trying to be braver about posting my opinions even if they lean more towards the negative and come off as a bit whiny/complainy.

I made this account in 2022 but abandoned it for a while. I feel very new to this! It took me five minutes just to work out how to join and post here 🙃
Name: June, they/them
Age: 30s!
I mostly post about: My knitting and other craft pursuits, my health (it’s kind of bad, guys) in terms of life updates usually, and my solo rpg games, so far. If I talk about food I’ll make it filterable when I work out… how.
I hope I’ll expand as I get a wider social circle. It’s weird to blog at myself.
My hobbies are: Knitting, writing, solo RPG games, cross-stitch, birdwatching (sort of, I most sit by a window while chilling and watch the birds fight over the bird feeder) paper flowers. I’m currently largely housebound, my hobbies are Indoors Things at the moment. When I AM outside in The Beast (my powerchair) I’ll probably spam pictures of the sky and urban pigeons.
My fandoms are: Star Trek (though I’m SO behind on everything new. I watched half of discovery and nothing else since), Dragon Age, Mass Effect. Flight Rising! Terry Pratchett, The Foreigner Series. I don’t spend a huge amount of time posting about those, these days, though.
I’m looking to meet people who are: Kind, open-minded.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, LGBTQ+phobia, Islamophobia, ableism, fatphobia—you get the gist, I hope. If you consider yourself to be ‘a Conservative’ we will probably not get along, let’s save ourselves the bother.
No under 18s, please!

Name: Eddie
Age: 35
I mostly post about: My life, my cat, Fred Hechinger, Joseph Quinn and different movies/TV. I also write fic/poetry.
My hobbies are: writing, drawing, witchcraft/magick, listening to music, watching TV, and watching movies. Travel, if I had that money.
My fandoms are: Fred Hechinger, Joseph Quinn, Stranger Things, and whatever things are on the back burner. I'm very multifandom.
I'm looking to meet people who: are super cool and chill. Somebody who I can talk to and laugh with, and exchange journal comments with.
My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Close-mindedness. Rudeness.
Before adding me, you should know: I ship "problematic" things. I'm of a time where it was 'ship and let ship' and all was for fun. If you've got an issue with it, please don't add me.
No minors, please. I'm in my thirties, and I post about adult things.

I'm Betting It All on Me, Roll the Dice
(b/c OF COURSE I would make the Plave-specific entry have a title with Plave lyrics xD)
I was feeling down the other day so instead of moping about, I switched it up and went out into the world! Was feeling brave about being social, so I went to an album release party for one of my fave kpop groups, Plave!! Their latest album came out recently and it so nice to meet other fans in my area and trade photocards with them!! ; u; (I was scared SHITLESS as I often am when meeting new people but FUNK YEAH WE MADE IT AND WE DID THAT SHIT ^ o^)/)
I'm usually so nervous about this kind of stuff since I consider myself a much more casual kpop fan, but this honestly felt really nice. ❤️ You can check out my haul from the event in the photos on Pillowfort (including some of the photocards that I can FINALLY cross off my wishlist and MY FIRST LIGHTSTICK LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!)!!
Afterwards I drove to the top floor of one of my favorite parking garages that overlooks downtown (thankfully it was DEAD) and was just listening to some Plave music for a while. It was so peaceful and helped clear my head a LOT.
Even better that I came home and finally got around to playing a Date with Death, and I didn’t expect that game to be so HILARIOUS xD DEFINITELY gonna circle back and play the DLC for the first one before I start playing the sequel that just came out…👀

Nature
Spring is a perfect time to start a nature journal. I've been talking about it with some friends so I wanted to share some resources here. It doesn't have to be fancy. It can have text, art, photos, pressed leaves, whatever you want to include. There are different approaches; all of them are good. Grab a blank book with plain or lined pages as you prefer, something to write or draw with, and head out to your yard, garden, or a nearby park.
