Journal sillypixie's Journal: Hi there 10

Journal by sillypixie

heh, another friday, another JE for me.

How are you, dear friends?

I was going to tell you all my troubles -but truth tell, they are minor. I am just built to be a happy person, I couldn't even go one night feeling disenfranchised.

Whatever happens, I can't claim to be the victim of it. I am what I make - and I'll be damned if I don't make something awesome.

Hey, I'm on twitter now, guess what my handle is? Would love to chat, please follow me and let me know what's new.

Hugs,

Pix

  • I'm still around, still alive. I'd like to think a little more mature than I used to be, but who knows. Just discovered that I might not have funding for my PhD after all, but here's hoping something'll work out; either way, as you say, my responsibility. I won't twitter, it has too much potential for consuming lives. See you around.

    • gawd you're right about twitter. It's crack for information junkies. I hope the funding comes through, is the possible state change because of the economy?

  • Interesting anniversary tomorrow.

  • ...or on Multiply much, to be honest. *shrug* But I'm very much around on Facebook, and now also on FriendFeed and Twitter (where I'm alan_ralph_uk). :D

    -MT.

  • I'm doing O.K.

    Personal life is the same as it's been for a couple years - although my wife and I are actually having more fun now playing Rummikub and Wii. Work is the same too. Both stressful and interesting. Still haven't had a chance to build a Higgins server. Maybe some day.

    You and your husband still doing snowmobiling? Now would be the time for it I expect.

    • We would normally be snowmobiling, but my husband has really bad tendonitis in his arm, so we've been benched. I can't believe how much I miss it. I like so many things about snowmobiling, that just doesn't work for other things, like ATVs for example. I console myself with the fact that it hasn't been a stellar snow year :)

      OK is tough - hard not to feel guilty if you aren't satisfied, but hard not to wish for more. If you could pick any monkeywrench to throw in, what would it be?

        Heh. There's no monkey wrench I could throw that wouldn't make it worse. It's not a matter of satisfaction for myself, it's a matter of family that has to "endure, and in a decade it will be better (probably)".

        You are correct that it's easy to wish for more. I have done that.

        I'm working on stuff outside my routine to give myself more. My latest project is a vegetable garden. I've got the soil turned already, and tomorrow I'll be starting the seeds in the little peat moss starter blocks and working sand into

        • Heh, I'd say my life is spent at least in part surrounded by unrecognized monkeywrenches. I think I perhaps dodged some that I shouldn't have. But - I'm not of the temperament for regret. I am generally happy in most circumstances, and even my worst days, or biggest despair rarely survive overnight.

          So, I suppose I'm either blissfully ignorant or criminally stupid. One or the other.

            A third possibility is "able to intelligently rank priorities, and choose long term happiness over short term sadness." :-)
