Hey guys! Haven't been here much due to tumblr, but I figured I might want to link some stuff I've been up to here for the people interested in Anikele.

Today I wrote a post of various love verbs and how to use them. I also wrote a post on naming traditions in my conworld. They are both quite interesting, if I do say so myself.

I'm thinking about writing a bit more about my conlang, especially since my IRL friends are actually very interested in what I have going on with my language, so I might be doing a bit of that soon. A few of them are quite enthusiastic about my posting more. So that's good.

Other than that, I'm just relaxing for a bit over the summer. I'm a bit anxious because I don't have a job but I'm trying to fill my time with other activities right now. I've re-picked up sewing and have made a plush as well as started a sweatshirt for my sister. Since I decided to start before I had all the materials (some are from online and some I got at Fabric Row right near my house) it's a bit awkward and I am not sure how it is going to fit her. If it doesn't, I might see if someone wants to buy it off me or something. If it comes out good enough, I guess. It's a test of the tutorial for my own sweatshirt that I will be making for my upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World come this November/December. I really want it to come out good because I really like the fabric. I'll post more when I get a bit further with it so that I don't ruin the surprise completely.

...I think I'm rambling. Well, then.

Well, no. That's a lie. Responsibility is my excuse. That and tumblr.

I'm going to see about finding things I've done or made over the past few months and getting those up. And maybe even do some new stuff as well. I have some stuff that I'm doing for work that is coming out pretty cool, so when I'm finished I might post all of them. For now I'll stick the picture I have in my scraps.

I really want to catch up with my people around here. What have you been up to?

My life has pretty much consisted of this:
:bulletblue: Work at an amazing program called Jumpstart
:bulletblue: Schoolwork
:bulletblue: "Knit 'n' Kvetch", where I hang out with friends and knit
:bulletblue: Inspector Spacetime fandom
-> and on a related note with the IS audio drama group I helped start, Not Where But When Productions
:bulletblue: Deconstructed Construction, a conlanging blog
:bulletblue: Finnish-ing when I can
:bulletblue: Dorking around with andersam over Skype

And that's about it. I've missed you guys. Let's see if I can activity more over here? C:

...I spilled tea on my conlang folder. I don't know how, but I did.

I was going to put a picture of them here but I forgot I can't do that anymore. So have a twitpic link: :C

Once these VERY IMPORTANT papers dry out I am going to finish my dictionary. Seriously. That's my labor day. That and finishing the first Conlangversations video.

Ever since I had a bad panic attack the other day I've been feeling down. It took me about an hour just to get someone to talk to after I got over the worst of it. Now I just feel really lonely. I know it's not homesickness because I'm comfortable doing my own thing, just lonely.

It's not that my roommate isn't nice, she is, but we're not really compatible types in terms of friends. I try to be nice to everyone, I really do. But there are some people who you have little in common with, so you can get along but not really get on. And even though I've been feeling more alone, I'm more hesitant to talk to people or even really leave my room since that episode. But I really do want to talk to someone about anything really. We don't have to be best friends. Even a conversation about anything would be fine. It would at least help me get myself over this little slump.

I'm all set up and safe within my room, but I'll never get anywhere like this. I've spent the past three days cooped up in here for some reason or another and although I feel better here, it's not going to be the best for me in the end.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I feel horrible just wasting my time sitting around doing nothing. It kills me, really. Friday I was cooped up because I was too afraid to leave, Saturday I knew I didn't have anything to do but wait for the storm to come so I can keep my room as dry as possible. (It didn't work all that well. We had four soaked towels by the window this morning.) Today, well....I knew everything was postponed or closed, so I didn't even bother doing the few errands I still had left to do.

I was doing so well.... what happened? I understand Friday, but the rest just drives me crazy. I feel like I'm just finding something to bide my time for now, and that really doesn't sit right with me. The more I try to distract myself the worse I feel. And I can't just take up all of the time of the one person who will always talk to me. It's not right or fair.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my time... I'll wait until tomorrow and see.

Moved into school and everything. Got my awesomazing work-study job which I love and wanted a lot, got my classes sorted out and my meals all set up. I have internet (although I don't think I'll be on as often as I was during the summer). Things are good. I'm not unhappy in Philadelphia. Things are going well.

Not sure what else to write, so I'll leave it at that.
