weirderwest | it's 2021

woah! dreamwidth! so much has happened since the last time you felt my gentle (?) touch!

i moved three times! i got a cat, and then after a year and a half, another cat! i dated and am now single again, and thank christ for that! i got a job, and then quarantine, and then got a second, better-paying job! our friend group had a major implosion that still hurts me to think about! i got married - wait, didn't i just say i was single?

anyway, covid is still real but i'm disappointed i didn't use my "free" time during quarantine to accomplish more. i'm trying to forgive myself for it, since, well, just existing was already difficult.

i have Plans for this dreamwidth, but no promises that i don't just turn it into a longform dumping ground of sorts. i'll never rid myself of this overly casual typing style, probably, and i have two worldbuilds and a lot of plotlines that i keep excruciatingly close to my chest on tumblr out of... idk, protectiveness, maybe. but i would really like to be able to talk about them in a slightly more structured format, lmao

i just recently "finished" a move into a studio (and my first time living truly alone) and i love it so far, for the most part. i'm struggling with decorating, but i'm very excited to make this place Mine and No One Else's. i'm also waiting on a new computer (first one since 2013, whew), and some lifestyle changes. hopefully i can get more comfortable with DW, since i'd like to remember it exists far more often than i have been.

hello world!
