A bit lost
May. 14th, 2013 10:49 pmNow that work-related stress has calmed down a little bit and I've also come to the temporary end of a bout of rather frantic writing, I also came to realise how quiet cyberspace has become all around me.

Sorry for the depressing entry. But I do feel like shit - and have for quite some time.

The Twelve Cards of Christmas
Dec. 10th, 2012 06:05 pmDear flist!
I've sent twelve hand-stitched Christmas cards on their journey. One of them, as I've been told to my delight, has safely crossed the pond between the British Isles and the old contintent. Thanks for telling me,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lindahoyland!
I'd like to ask the others to drop me a line, too, when their card arrives... just so that I know I won't have to send another one. *g*
Oh, and I've got yummy Christmas prezzie fromdisthrainsdotte! Thank you, Dís, my dearest. Mum sends her thanks and her love, too. *hugs*
Update: The hand-made Christmas card frombadly_knitted has also arrived. It's incredibly beautiful. Mum is impressed, too. Thanks, my friend!

Technically challenged
Jan. 13th, 2012 08:42 pmI wish I could figure out how to keep people I personally like but whose entries sometimes make me uncomfortable (for reasons not their fault but for my ridiculous personal sensitivities) not to appear on my Friends page, without unfriending them. I don't want to do that. They are nice people, and I would like to keep them as friends. But avoiding my own Friends page and checking whether other people/comms etc. have updated via my Profile is really a bother... *sighs*
Getting old is no fun
Dec. 13th, 2011 12:51 amI've overstrained my left leg a week ago, while baking with the kids. Now it aches in certain angles (fortunately not in all) where the tigh bone joins the hipbone. Strangely enough, bucking and sitting cross-legged are the most painful positures, which is a bother, as I do sit cross-legged a lot. Well, usually. *sighs*
It promises to be a long process. *sighs some more*
And since pain always makes me grumpy, I'm considerin another re-vamping of my flist. Having my friends page covered with huge entries and large pictures that make the page an eternity to load are no fun, either.
When did I start turning into this unpleasant old hag who always has something to complain about? *sighs a third time*

Plea to flist
Dec. 10th, 2011 11:09 pmDear folks, I know this is not nice to mention, but would you consider using the tag when making long entries or posting huge pictures? Since my latest computer crash, I've got a much slower browser, and waiting for all the pictures to load, so that I could scroll down to the bottom of the page for the next entry takes forever.
Sorry for the bitching. I'll shut up now. :(

There was a time...
Oct. 20th, 2011 09:24 pmThere are ugly thoughts behind the tag, so read it at your own discretion. I've also taken the liberty to screen the comments, so that I can delete them when they are being hurtful, before anyone else would read them. I don't feel up to dealing with public abuse. Sorry.

Oh, and I've done a little more trimming on my friendslist. I'm just done with caring for people who don't care for me.

So... back after the party...
Oct. 12th, 2011 09:49 pmMy birthday party was a full success, and I wanted to ask everyone who participated, contributed to the wonderful discussions and helped break last year's record.
Also, in the light of the results, I've decided to trim my friendslist again. I'll remove all the people who - while generally active on LJ otherwise - couldn't be arsed to comment on my journal for at least half a year. It's not me being angry at anyone, you understand. I just don't see any reason in following the lives of people who don't seem to have the slightest interest in mine.
If you find yourself removed, don't worry; you won't miss a lot, as I generally run a very open journal. And not getting access to my depressed whinings about personal matters or Hungarian politics won't darken your days. Everything else will remain public, as usual.
Other than that, there's not much to report. Despite my best intentions, I launched into another Torchwood fic in the "Sleeping Dragons" universe. which wil come to a grinding stop after Chapter 2, most likely, but I had to write down what little I had in my head, otherwise I'd have forgotten it. Chapter 1 is done, I'm in the process to type it up, and a couple of pages from Chapter 2 are already written. After that, I'll return to the Epic Merlin Fic(TM) and Tolkien's Dwarves.
Oh yeah, and then there's work. Lots of it. But there are worse things.

Weekend ahoy!
Oct. 15th, 2010 06:35 pmNo, not dead yet - just drowned in RL work. What little spare time I can save, I spend writing. And role-playing with the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
gaheris_lives. Nothing helps against RL stress more than a healthy dosis of complete silliness.
On a different note, I think I'll trim my friendslist again. There are people whom I love dearly, but since we haven't had to say each other anything for half a year, at least, I don't think it makes much sense to keep them listed as friends. As I run a pretty open journal anyway, they won't miss too much, even if they decided to show some interest in the future.

Trimming the hedges
May. 9th, 2010 06:22 pmI've decided to trim my friendslist again. Not because I'm pissed at anyone or whatnot - but people change, interests change, and I see no reason in keeping people with whom we obviously don't have anything more to say to each other listed as "friends".
That particular word has a very deep meaning for me, and even though I'm well aware of the fact that cyber-friendships are not quite the same as real-life ones, I don't want it to lose that meaning.
Not doing it right now, though. Don't feel up to face the loss just yet. It's always a little sad when something ends, even if it hasn't had the same importance as it once might have had to. Erm... grammar getting me confused again...
And since I'm at it already, I'll be leaving a few comms, too. Life is too short for being ignored.
