I promised Frank that I'd write up a vignette for his Exalted game, and I've kind of got a few other things that I said I'd write, so that's kind of what I'm up to, at the moment. I'm putting it off just for a bit, though, because I haven't really written anything for a while. Honestly, that's because nothing's really been going on; I've deliberately been kind of letting myself stay 'vacant', because I haven't really been sure how to deal with my current state. If that seems a bit extreme, it's really not; I just mean I've been kind of vegging because I'm not sure what my priorities are from here on out.
Like, I got work, and I'm up here for a year, so what do I do next? And I've been kind of tired, because I get up earlier and I spend most of my time sitting and trying to absorb a lot of data. It's not tough, but it's a little fatiguing. The nice thing is that it's not the kind of bone-numb exhaustion I'd experience earlier, which was really a lot like being severely jet-lagged all the time. It's just regular tired.
A couple of things have come to my attention, in the same way that you discover you've bought wine but own no wineglasses. For example, it occurred to me that I'm going to be staying with another friend for a while. It's a paying-rent situation, so I'm not just couch crashing; I'm renting a room. I don't, however, have a bed. So I get to decide how I want to deal with that. I really considered a Japanese-style futon, but they're uncomfortably expensive when I could get a regular futon for a bunch cheaper. Less portable, though. Eh.
So, I'm not totally sure, but I kind of need to get some things taken care of tomorrow where, if I'm not staying in Seattle permanantly (I haven't decided yet, and 'permenant' doesn't even really mean 'forever', or anything.) then I can at least exist here on a sustainable level.
