sereneHere's a paragraph of the first line of each month in my journal. I'd love to see yours, either here or in your journal, if you feel like it:
Woke feeling oogy. I just bought tickets to go see my mom in April. Today is my first day off my meds. You knew this already, but my friends are geniuses. Adorable kids (okay, they're probably adults, but I'm getting old and they look like kids to me) signing Jonathan Coulton's "First of May", not safe for work in any fashion, but utterly adorable. Returning to crossposting to LiveJournal, though I've really resisted making that my practice. Things I have done this week to take control of my finances: 1) Eaten work-provided food and drunk water, rather than buying breakfast and coffee. Done with the bar exam; I hope he passes. I am not, in general, a huge fan of nature photography. Got to San Diego around 7 on Tuesday; 68 and partly cloudy turned into a lightning storm on our way home, but it never really rained much. Good things today: The kid is just really great to be around lately, and I'm enjoying her company. I wish I remember who pointed me to this first (probably [info - personal] wordweaverlynn or [info - personal] supergee, I'm guessing), but it's been kicking my ass (in a good way) for a few days, and I am finally getting around to posting it: An Adult Child Abuse Survivor's Guide to the Holidays.

This gives me a sense for how much a financial institution wants people to switch away from paper statements:
This is incredibly minor in the grand scheme of things.
I've seen various privilege memes around, and most of them are pretty US-centric.
We've been watching Star Trek: TOS on DVD via Netflix.
My mother's sister in Florida passed away last week, and my parents want to adopt her miniature Schnauzer.
I have been a huge fan of When Gravity Fails since it came out, and I recently read and enjoyed the other Marîd Audran books.
I have been meaning to write about Futureland by Walter Mosley, which is a collection of nine short stories all set in the same near future cyberpunk world.
