  • Had my last surgical injection on Thursday. Turns out that it's pretty easy to forget that just because these things aren't hella invasive does not mean they aren't a big deal; I spent Friday attempting to do a bunch of physical-labor-type stuff around the house and was reminded that my system is still full of anesthetic aftermath at about ~3:00 when I seriously just... burnt out, like my body crapped out, like literally just stopped functioning, like someone had repeatedly punched me in the everything and left me for dead. Whooooooops. Lost a lot of the weekend recovering from that too; turns out overproductivity results in less productivity when your body sucks like mine does!

  • greeted with a 3-hour 3-meeting back-to-back boredom extravaganza this morning at work (boredom being relative; two of the three meetings were informative and the third gave me a platform to complain loudly about stuff so it wasn't really a waste of time; just not the way I like starting off my Mondays)

  • tired

  • Finishing up FFIV for [community profile] moogle_university; have been reminded why this game is special to me. It isn't that it's the "best" of the FFs or the best game I've ever played; it's just the correct combination of [nostalgia points] + [characters and plot points highly relevant to my interests] and will probably always be my favorite, which just proves that I have horrible taste in life.

  • HAS ANYONE / EVERYONE STARTED THEIR DOINK FIC/ART/WORK??? Every year I swear I'm going to blog more about the exchange and then every year I'm like, I'm just too tired. I have so many thoughts and they are all living in giant apartment complexes on the corner of "You can't talk about that in public Sev" and "no1currr" and so I look at that and go back to my fic and monitoring of our inbox and sigh, heavily.

  • I'm finally living in my own room...? I have my new carpet and the paint job is done and it's set up in a way that makes me feel happy and comfortable, and ... I like it? I've felt and been transient for years and I'm not sure I have words for how comfortable and safe I feel finally putting down roots in a place that is mine, that I own, where I am the one who gets to have final say on everything, where I have my own space and my own dominion and all things I've needed for years but haven't prioritized, where I can do whatever the hell I want. Including paint my study leaffire-orange and yellow, because I am dumb. Not having to answer to anyone is apparently the space where I am the most comfortable with myself; it is also a completely appropriate adult goal. don't question me.

  • where am I

  • oh yeah lunch

Yeah, FFIV wasn't the first game that I played in the franchise (it was FFVI and I remember the exact moment when I came in from watching someone play, and that was the infamous "Opera House" and then I was like "WHAT IS THIS MARVELOUS THING THAT I AM WATCHING" and then sexy gamblers with airships became involved and then suddenly I was just absolutely lost and went out straight aways and used all of my saved up babysitting money to buy myself a SNES.

Didn't see the light of day for THREE WHOLE DAYS.. that was how long it took me to gain levels and get to the world of ruin..

When I obsess, it's hardcore.

Awwwww Blitz, I remember my complete inability to do a half circle with my thumb. And I always blamed it on the controller. Ah button sequence combos, the fine line between Sabin being Awesome and Sabin just standing there looking like a puffed up teddy bear.

Still pissy at myself for forgetting to sign up for DOINK, but eh, I am watching that pinch-hit list hard, I promise you. Fwiw I really love obsessing over exchange mechanics and processing what works and what doesn't, so I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic (or whatever exchange-match-fail anecdotes you have hoarded up over the years, those are always good!)
