i think i got so overwhelmingly productive at home that i figured i needed to extend the mania to the workplace. i have lost my home productivity streak but am inventing a new responsibility and project for myself at work. oh well, i think it's going to be something i enjoy doing, but will take me away from this site for a bit as the work type is pretty parallel (writing, organizing, document standardization, etc).
was accidentally metaphoric again at work today talking about rain man and needed to record it somewhere. according to my supervisor, there was someone with an eidetic memory who died very young because the volume of memories they had drove them "insane". and i said "it probably feels like intellectual hoarding, you can't walk through the house of your own brain without tripping over some memory you didn't even need."
i don't need to talk here about the problems with idolizing autistic "savants" over supporting people who are not "interestingly" disabled, but it was a thought during that conversation.
i looooooove birdwatching. i live in a place where migratory birds come in the spring, so it's such an awesome reminder after a grey and lifeless winter that there are living things out there! lots of those living things are cool as hell, i even saw a duck with a turquoise blue beak. birdwatching also makes driving more enjoyable, because if you keep your eyes out, you can see all sorts of things. it's like a little treat!
everything is about the sweater i just finished knitting. i am too in love with it to even wash and block it, so i’ve just been wearing it raw. a coworker, in earnest, told me they liked my sweater and asked where i got it! then asked why i was turning so red… i am just proud of it! i’m excited other people like it enough to compliment it! and it’s so warm. what a dream! i want 700 wool sweaters!
I feel like I am so negative in all the essays I write on this website. It helps me work through the feelings I have about the topic, so I don't regret it, but I'd love a positive tone to be available!
I was thinking about how shrines are such a huge part of neocities/old school internet sites, and my husband would be so suited to a neocities website because he is very passionate and knowledgeable about the things that he loves. I don't have any fixations like that where I can gush about stuff! I think that's fine, I just admire his ability to be informative in ways that I am not online.
I would love to make some sort of research article or how-to post or something where people can learn from me instead of the prevailing tone of the site being negative.
