Fffffff, the first week back after a vacation is always the hardest, I think. :'( Back to the regular grind schedule and also no
enough_space when I come home. My cat is less affectionate than he was during that week she was here, barring the day she left, when he was super-snuggly. I'm not sure if that dependency last week was because OH MY GOSH SOMEONE ELSE IS TAKING HER ATTENTION AWAY FROM ME!! or TWO PEOPLE = TWICE THE LOVE FOR KITTY. Knowing my cat, it might be both. Since work no longer allows streaming anything, I have been watching a lot of downloaded stuff off my external hard drive (my giant batch torrent of Iron Chef Japan episodes finally finished--which means I know have 160 episodes of the original series to get through. 8D It's really fun background dialogue). DOES ANYONE IN SEATTLE WANNA DO STUFF THIS WEEKEND, I want an excuse to get out and see people. :(
Also HEAD'S UP, I am thinking of dissolving my three key LJ filters (the porn one, the Catfish one, and the ticky box one--well, I might keep the ticky box one). Mostly I'm just toying with it, because--I would rather still have my NSFW stuff locked because people at work do surf social networking sites and I'd really rather not have to deal with the folks I work with reading what I write in my free time unless somehow I write a book--they can buy it and then whatever, I'll be chill 8Db, buttttt. Part of it is the sheer laziness of not wanting to make reading filters--on top of the fact that I know if I MAKE reading filters, I am going to miss people or lose people and then I'll be like \o_O/ WHAT HAPPEN when ... things do! Hurr hurr. So I'm torn! But it's possibly coming down the line, just as a head's up. It's not like I really write a lot of stuff that's not worksafe, though when I do, I'd rather be covered than not. Hmm.
HOWEVER: I am doing NaNo this year! Maybe not officially, depending on if I remember to register properly on the site, but I'm gonna do it! While ideally I'd like to do 50K words for a single story, I am pretty certain that my attention span these days won't really go for that. I do, however, plan to have one ongoing major story and then write anything else that strikes my fancy alongside of it, and just contribute that all to my wordcount for the month. SO!

In semi-related news I am still working on the FFFFFFF WHY /o\ thing I mentioned earlier this week. I have no idea if I'm writing out the WHOLE SORDID THING or just THE END OF THE AFFAIR, because at this point I think it could go either way. \o_O/
