enthusiastickI had a couple of interesting conversational threads going yesterday afternoon that were very similar, in a weird sort of way. In both cases I was talking to a girl via an electronic medium that serves as our primary mode of conversation these days (and in both cases that's kind of a pity.) In one I was trading LJ comments with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fly_nimue_fly and in the other I was on GoogleTalk with dorkparade. And both conversations provided an opportunity to vent about some of the things I've been so stressed out about lately. Its amazing how good it can be just to let these things air out, how much better it can make you feel about them. And yes, this is one of those cases where I am perpetually amazed by the simplest most obvious things.
Suffice it to say that I still hate money, and I still feel like the world owes me a living (and it doesn't, I know). And I look forward deeply to the time when I can expend mental energy stressing over things I actually care about instead of things that I hate, things that make me feel weary and ground down. Things that make me feel, to borrow words from Bilbo Baggins, like butter scraped over too much bread. And in the meantime I'm going to suck it up and deal and try to remember that, all things considered, I'm doing OK. And I like my friends. And I have good things to look forward to.
In other news (and speaking of things to look forward to) the third installment of the Mountain Witch did not actually end up happening last night as scheduled. Alexis and Ben bailed late in the day and the whole thing sort of disintegrated. So we drop back ten and punt. I remain hopeful but not optimistic about any future game sessions coming together, but then I said that the first time and the second night went off without a hitch, so we'll see. This Sunday is the Legends Winter Feast, which I plan on attending, although sadly their website suffered some sort of catastrophic meltdown before I got around to preregistering (and given the nature of the Winter Feast it seems as though an accurate headcount beforehand is of relatively high importance to the people running the thing.) I'm sure it'll be fine, though. And it'll be nice to see all those people again.
