munin

Still read this?

I mostly troll through LJ for some communities but I was thinking it might be time to do some processing via word vomit... so to speak. So, anyone? Anyone? Bueller? *crickets*

For those of you wondering who this new person is on your friends list perhaps the strangely compelling icon will clue you in. If not, I decided to change my LJ user name from soraidh to munin. Stay tuned for more completely uninteresting news sometime soon.

I'm grateful for:
1. making my 10% lost last Wednesday.
2. two days off to relax.
3. another (second) job interview tomorrow. I feel good about this one. Everyone send good vibes around 10:30 please!
4. dinner plans tonight. Eventually. Probably.
5. the flirting continuing.

I'm anticipating:
1. cooking at Ivy's place instead of going out.
2. a lunch/dinner date, maybe. (The possible return of Shiny?)
3. seeing two, yes TWO, old friends in March.

4. my godmother getting well. (My aunt called me on Monday to tell me that everything was okay. Apparently Godmother-dear ended up in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs. On Saturday.)
5. my mac (it is old and dying but still working and it allowed me to get info off it today with little fuss.)

I'm anticipating:
1. a potential play date/

I'm grateful for:
1. not having to leave the apartment for anything during the Winter Weather fun.
2. having power during this.
3. F making it home safe last night.

I'm anticipating:
1. a job offer. (Please oh please oh please.)
2. having everything with Mom's stuff taken care of (soon I hope.)
3. a trip to Iowa. I want to see family again and Ivy and I have promised to go visit "the girls" as Ivy calls them.

I've been rereading my journal entries for the past several days. I've gone back nearly to the beginning of this journal and I have to say it's been an extraordinary experience. I am thrilled that I have these entries to remind me of things I've forgotten. One of them being the phrase "life on life's terms" which I have needed to hear. It resonates with me now as it did a few years ago.

So I've got a Dreamwidth account. I like it so far though I hardly know anyone over there. I barely post there (but then I barely post here either these days. What's up with that?)

If anyone would like an invite please do be letting me know. I have two codes to give.

Also, if you're over there and have an account let me know in the comments. I'll screen them just in case you don't want the world to know who you are.

I'm trying to keep that journal and this one mostly separate though some things will end up in both I'm sure. Mostly that one is going to be a bit more selective about who sees it. Less fandom, less random people I don't know, hopefully more... introspection or some such. Which is why I'm not giving the link to my journal there.

As might be guessed from my radio silence things did not go so well last Wednesday. The upside to this is that I have a lot more free time to read and watch movies again. (Victoria Laurie writes amusing mysteries if you're interested.)

Many thanks for the good thoughts and well wishes of a week ago. I appreciate them greatly. I'm guessing they're probably the reason I made it to the car without crying.

Another update that's well, update-ier forthcoming. I've got a few things that need catching up I'm sure.

Now... where did I put my "epic fail" icon?
