Chilling out

[flexagon]

Curious feelings of peacefulness, relaxation and acceptance this weekend... much more than usual I didn't worry about things undone, didn't fret about my own tendency to lie around reading in the sun instead of making progress on something. With Z-dawg's class maybe getting kicked out of its current venue, and maybe conflicting with acroyoga when it re-settles, I don't know what my weekly workout schedule is going to look like, but I figure it will be okay. And I haven't worked on my side project yet this weekend, and that's okay because it's a my voluntary side project.

I would think somebody put me on a low dose of MDMA, except that seems unlikely. I have been getting up at the same time every single day though, and snuggling with the bug.

Thinking again about taking a social-networking break. For me that would mean LJ and Facebook, two things that sometimes cross the line into feeling like obligations.

It does seem social networks are out of season; I notice activity on LJ has nearly ceased and FB seems rather less active.

It's a hard optimization problem for me. Lately I've felt a) introspective and b) as if I'm generally communicating badly, or failing to make myself understood, or simply misunderstood by a cruel world. ^_~ These two things together make it harder to blog and more rewarding to just keep the computer off.

That said, I care about the people I've met on LJ, and don't want to stop reading/knowing their stories, even now.

Lately I've felt like all my communication channels are a bit meh, and mostly keep going on them due to some overarching belief that it's intrinsically good to be writing and that *any* stream of writing will have ups and downs (not every XKCD rules, after all). Though I think I'm communicating myself less and less and more just writing about ideas.
