How Are We Doing?

[(Anonymous)]

I've completely screwed up my sleeping schedule and have been sleeping between 3-5 hours a night since April of last year. Some days its not so bad but other days it's becoming clear that my sleep deprivation is playing into the bad mental health; which is also not good.

Re: How Are We Doing?

Tired. The muscle relaxant the doctor gave me worked really well last night. But then my cat was full of energy and wanting to play for a good chunk of the night and making a lot of noise. Plus I had a sudden feeling of being hot that lasted several hours. Turned out to be a pre-migraine symptom. Usually I feel cold before migraines.

Still a little out of sorts, though I got migraine meds in time. Jaw still hurts. But the muscle relaxant seems to do the trick at night, so hopefully tonight will be a good sleep night.

So sorry about your sleep issues, OP. Sleep issues are the worst and will just ruin your whole life. I hope you can start sleeping more soon.

Think the past couple days of being at pain level 7-8 rather than 8-9 are starting to catch up with me. Pushing myself way too hard.

But among the things I've done recently are fixing my waterbed so it heats up again (a cold clammy waterbed mattress is not good even on hot summer nights, let alone the coldest days yet this winter), vacuuming the hallways and bedroom, and actually leaving the house to walk in the woods and drive around playing Pokemon Go. And that was during the work week, so now I have the next three days to either keep pushing myself until I do collapse, or just... collapse.

I spent hours today trying to figure out my 401K. I checked it today and I feel like there has not been a lot of growth compared to what I've been putting into it. But I have no clue what I need to be looking at and the Fidelity website is confusing. It makes me so angry. :|

I seem to be fucking up stuff more often than not lately, at work and maybe IRL (well, really, internet at this point, heh).

Oh well. At least I managed to make two meals today, one of which is going in the freezer in servings for later consumption.

I’m tired of my family being dysfunctional.

Re: How Are We Doing?

[(Anonymous)]

I could be paranoid about various things going on in my life, particularly in relation to my job, but right now I just don’t care for whatever reason. Gonna enjoy a nice big dinner featuring breakfast stuff ala eggs, bacon, and potatoes because why not.

Re: How Are We Doing?

[(Anonymous)]

Oof, I'm sorry, that sucks. I hope your sleep schedule and mental health both improve thus year, but it's totally understandable that you're not doing great considering, well, everything.

Re: How Are We Doing?

Really sad. I moved across the country to go to grad school, and won't be able to see my family again until the pandemic is over. I've been away for about six months and was doing fine, until about a week ago when winter got really bad. I'm grateful to be getting my masters, but the winter and missing my family has really got me down.

Shitty.

Good. Nothing demands my immediate attention.

I'm getting used to my shitty life, I guess.

Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

[(Anonymous)]

Like the kind of fandom you either go back to, check in on or go to when you're between fandoms? Or even a fandom you have the fondest memories of?

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

[philstar22]

My One True Fandom is Tolkien. And I expect it will probably remain so for a long time.

But my nostalgia fandom is Harry Potter because, while I'm no longer in that fandom, it was my One True Fandom for a huge chunk of my life as well as my first fandom, so it has a huge place of importance in my life.

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

I tend to think back onto my early fandoms revolving around the CLAMP manga communities back when I first got into fandom. To my memory I can't think of any fandom drama that ever happened in those comms on LJ (the only exception being the time someone opened up a discussion on who would you cast in an adaption of any of the manga - and one person went batshit over every one who didn't suggest a Japanese actor, as if we were all seriously considering starting our own movies and not actually just fucking around with ideas; like Hugh Jackman as Kurogane from Tsubasa).
Especially xxxHolic - there was some gorgeous fanworks and my otp was the major ship of that series so I had a good time there.

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

[(Anonymous)]

The fandom I have the fondest memories of is The X-Files fandom. I never go back to it, but I still feel extremely fond of it and regard it as a beautiful fandom where I had a wonderful time.

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

[(Anonymous)]

Yu-Gi-Oh was my first online fandom and I made some nice online friends on various forums. I don't write fic for it anymore, but I'll still read some thiefshipping fics every now and then.

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

[kaijinscendre]

For a fandom I actually go back to, Supernatural. Though I have very fond memories of DBZ. But most the fic is trash so I'll never get back into the fandom.

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

[(Anonymous)]

Several that make me nostalgic (I was just randomly thinking about Get Backers earlier today) but I've said for the last ten years or so - every other fandom has been a fling, sometimes a really exciting and meaningful one, but I am married to Vagrant Story. It is always waiting for me with something new and intriguing and I don't see myself ever loving any other fandom more. (We're just in an open relationship, I guess. Hahah.)

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

All of my best fandom memories were with Yu-Gi-OH! in the early 2000’s. I have not had as much fun since, which is admittedly kinda sad - what a beautiful and creative time it was. Great time to be online in general then. I still listen to the anime and game soundtracks all the time; YouTube has a ton of cool obscure archivist videos buried too.

Mine is a small soccer fandom. It was the only fandom I stuck with for a long time, though it died off after a few years.

Also, NGL, That Guy With the Glasses era video reviewers. Super cringe but there were some fun times.

Re: Do You Have a One True Fandom or a Fandom that Makes You Nostalgic?

I had a few "True Fandoms" but I think Code Geass is still the one I feel more "oh, okay, this is Mine" about. It wasn't my first anything, but it's still the one I feel more nostalgic when I listen to songs or whatever, the one I keep revisiting and hoping for rewatches, where I know everyone who's been active for the past 15 years (even though they don't know me because I've always been a lurker).

Anyone watch Resident Alien?

[(Anonymous)]

If you haven't heard of it, it is a SyFy series starring Alan Tudyk that premiered last night and the synopsis is:
An alien crash lands on Earth and must pass himself off as small-town human doctor Harry Vanderspeigle. Arriving with a secret mission to kill all humans, Harry starts off living a simple life…but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world.

If I were to characterize it by the pilot in terms of other media, I would say it's like some the alien and investigatory stuff from X-Files mixed with some of the things about an alien pretending to be human from The Coneheads plus the fish-out-of-water doctor in a small town framework from Northern Exposure.

You can watch the full episode if you want here: https://www.syfy.com/resident-alien/videos/101-pilot

I feel like I should like it more, but I couldn't really connect with any of the characters.

Secret maker here...

I'm (mostly) back and trying to recover/remake the secrets that were lost when my hard drive died. The last secret thread was a doozy and it was difficult figuring out which ones I'd already submitted and which ones weren't submitted and were therefore lost. After an afternoon/evening tinkering around, I think I've got them all, but there might be some confusion, accidental repeats if I double-submit, and secrets that just plain old fall through the cracks. I hope not.

Anyway, I've got a bunch of secrets that I can submit tomorrow if the count is low, but if there are other secret makers who have already submitted a bunch (or who plan to), I'll hold back. Thanks, everyone!
