The weather has turned truly gorgeous this week--last weekend was lovely, Monday and Tuesday were atrocious but had lightning and thunder (which Seattle nearly never gets!) and then it slowly became beautiful again. Just in time for a three-day weekend, and man, I am not looking forward to the traffic on the commute home. On the plus side, since it is Friday, I feel less of the pressing "get me home now so I don't waste precious daylight" that I do--every other day of the week. Which is hilarious because of the five or six people in my office who know I'm moving, all of them have asked if I'm moving closer to the office. I'm not; I'm moving further away! But I have ascertained I want to stay in the downtown area if I can, because the neighborhood is lovely, the reviews were good, and every time I've been by (first to preview and then to walkthrough; I'll be there again tomorrow) I have just been so happy looking at it. It will be mine. :(
So the HMD crit meme is going around again, and I commented to that! And both of the comments I got mentioned my balance (and lack of thereof, orz) and lack of playing lately, which are ... both things that I have definitely noticed! I think I have logs where I was worrying about it at people, but due to circumstances (which are ultimately excuses as much as they are explanations), I've ... not really done a lot about it! I've been sick, I've been busy/tired, and right now I am moving I only have a week left AHHHHHHHHH I NEED TO PACK MORE--and managers at work have given out several warnings about our internet usage, which ... mostly pertains to download and streaming sites, sure, but it's kind of killed my enthusiasm for just happily threading as I've done at work before. They're only text-and-images, so they're not even taking up a whole lot of bandwidth, but ... I'm paranoid! I can handle a few threads, and slower than I would, but I don't tag as many posts at work as I used to, and probably won't until they resolve some of our bandwidth issues, just in case.
On the other hand, if it makes people feel like I'm alienating them or ignoring them, I have to apologize for that. I do want to improve this, because I like my game and I like my characters and I like playing with people! I'm just also not quite the spamwhore I used to be, which is ... probably a good thing, in some ways, and less-good in others. Bah. I will have to work on that, though, and possibly I'll do another "IF YOU WANT ME TO JUMP YOU PLEASE SAY SO" poll or something like that--maybe before I go on hiatus for the move, I'll do that one post I've been wanting to do. I should do it before Sharon's time runs out anyway, since right now I cannot afford to spend on LJ; once my finances stabilize again after the move, but not now, before things have happened.
I have also determined that--while I don't really like clothes shopping, or purchasing makeup, or shoes, or anything that I would wear, I really, really like domestic shopping. I like going to Target and IKEA and poking through furniture and stuff for the bathroom and kitchen supplies. I need new dishes when I move and I kept going :D at some of the sets I saw yesterday, while shopping. What am I becoming. Other than slowly poor, sob.
