Saturday's Something Positive.

Clocky, seen multiple places. Favorite quote for future possibilities: "Maybe one person's Clocky can tell the other to hush up if it has sounded off one too many times. Or, maybe they can form an alliance and simultaneously target the offending over-sleeper. I have adopted the philosophy that when two devices communicate, they can solve more problems—that is, two Clockies are better than one."

Some octopuses walk on two legs. I couldn't see the video, due to lack of plugin, but the story is neat. :) (link from rosefox)

OK, I've been trying very, very hard to avoid the entire Terry Schavio topic. But! dandelion_diva pointed to John Stewart's take on it. I laugh, and I agree.


Weekend was _busy_. And way, way, way too many people at Easter thing on Sunday. Yikes. All my social energy, gone. Good thing I have nothing planned tonight.

Tomorrow, kitty to vet to see how useful the pills are being.

Is true that there is something different about how I put the crushed pills into the food; hopefully this means that Ash _will_ take his pills in wet food from ayalanya. Tonight, we find out.

Also, I didn't read LJ over the weekend, so don't assume that I've read anything (I might, I might not).

Huh. Wow, I really _don't_ have any social energy left. Was just about to go down to lunch with a bunch of people, and had to clamp down _hard_ on my desire to run away without explaining why. Explained, and now I'm eating lunch on my own. Nearly instant overstim reaction from a couple of seconds around lots of people.

[mood] Intense frustration

I appear to be frustrated with absolutely everything at the moment.

This is probably partly caused by the fact that I tend to have the most difficult time with being both extro- and introverted when I start coming out of the winter. I have the desire for being at least somewhat social that I tend to have throughout winter and just don't have enough social energy to do anything about. I have hope of actually having enough energy to be social again fairly soon, but don't have enough yet for the vast majority of people, even if they were around and nearby and not requiring me to ping them or visit them (the set of people I do have sufficient energy for is at two people right now, and neither is around, for distance or being busy reasons).

This is probably worsened by being around ~20 people at Easter dinner yesterday. And by having spent a fair amount of my social time lately around people I don't know very well (much as I _like_ meeting new people, or attempting to get to know people, it's still taxing).


And (unrelatedly) dealing with people who appear to be entirely too fond of making things _way_ more complicated than is necessary doesn't help. (simple is good! Dammit!)


I think I shall go home and take my frustrations out on computer games. And try to go to bed reasonably early so as to not get sick from being around sick family members. (in addition to anti-sickness pills)
