"like I was in 'Frame of Mind'"
I’ve been operating under “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” mode for quite a few weeks now, but I miss posting entries. I just don’t find it very clever to use LJ for ranting, so I tend not to use it for that purpose myself. It’s just my job that’s injuring me. We’re overworked victims of the recession; and that’s all the complaining I’ll do here.

In hobby news, I have decided to become a more superficial person. Starting with my hair. Other than two temporary Halloween-y, costume-y situations, I’ve never dyed it. My ex-classmate is a hair stylist, and today she did some red-red Redrum-red stripey underneath layers on me. Depending on how my hair lays, you can’t see them, but if it swings…there they are. It’s not photographing well, or I’d show you. I think they’re great.

I’ve felt creatively stifled these days, and I reeeeally need an outlet. Fanfiction doesn’t seem...appropriate. I’ve been trying to get into anybody’s RP-ing comms, but I’m not quick enough. The idea of starting one of my own has occurred, but I’m extremely good at talking myself out of things. It’s going to come down to a showdown between my own laziness and my fandom-need-so-deep-it-makes-my-hands-ache-to-write. My recent angry state of mind has not made me any more proactive.

So I just erased the next two paragraphs. They were complaining paragraphs, so they have been struck. I’d better just go. I don’t like what I’ve become.
