HFCS: effika’s blog

So, I’m now with the freetime again. I’ve already started up those RPGs I had to quit earlier, long before I had to quit blogging. :-) And now, the ramblings of a frizzled brain trying to remember how to be social after writing ~50 pages in a short amount of time!

To anybody who has messaged me, left me voicemail, ect, and found that I have ignored you or replied with a lame excuse of “papers to write, nausea to enjoy, let’s hang out when I’m better,” I apologize. I should be getting back to being social again soon.

I hit my peak on the socially withdrawn scale on Saturday. By that point I had written 20 pages on my thesis and was having to start work on a lab report for molecular lab. It was also the last show of O. U. Improv! of the semester, but I was still in the “absorb information, process, spit out relavent bits” mood. I found myself thinking, “Gee, that’s funny!” and yet never actually laughing. Socializing was interesting, to put it mildly. On Thursday there was a going away/end of semester party with the improv people. I was slightly better at interacting with people, but most of the night I was silent or laughing at other people’s jokes. Tomorrow is Jay’s sister’s Christmas party. I did fairly well while gaming tonight, so hopefully I’ll not be embarassingly idiotic tomorrow.

I also finally finished my earwarmer tonight. I’ve been working on it since before Thanksgiving. There’s no reason why it took so long except that I haven’t had time to sit and knit until tonight. I haven’t gotten to enjoy a moment where I could choose what to do (well, besides what reference articles to read) since before then. I think I shall next start on mittens.
