It's just one of those things...
I keep meaning to post more and then I don't. Mostly because so few people are on here anymore and it feels redundant to do this and e-mail people. But on the other hand, there are people here I don't talk to via e-mail but I'd still like to keep in touch. LJ was so good for that... nowhere near as banal or klutzy as Facebook, but a nice way to keep up with peoples' lives even if you're only in them peripherally.
Things have been going better. I don't mean to be cryptic exactly, but things have been Not Great for quite a few years now and I wasn't comfortable with sharing personal details. It sort of went: Not Good, Not Good, Really Not Good, Dammit This Is Worse, Crappy and Kind of Hopeless, Not Good but not Awful, Meh I can Deal if I Have To I Guess and now I'm cautiously optimistic that things are a little better. I'm writing a bit, original fiction but also a little of the next chapter of Dark Hour of Night, the fic that's only mostly dead, but not dead dead. Much like my creativity and sense of purpose!
Spring is here at long last. The blueberry bushes I planted last fall survived the winter and have put out leaves, huzzah! I don't know if they'll flourish or if/when they'll fruit, but I'm happy they made it through an unpleasant winter. Today I bought a few tomato plants and now I'll have to brave the pollen-laden outdoors and get them in the ground this weekend.
Terrible fangirl moment: I missed seeing Battle of the Five Armies in the theater. I meant to go, I just... somehow didn't. Then I thought well, it's not like I don't know how it ends. *cough*
