flowsoffireSo, here’s a meme:
1 Insecurity: Errrr… My ability to do things successfully, as a general rule? XD I don’t know, I’m a generally insecure person. Anything goes.
2 Fears: Bugs, inadequacy.
3 Turn Ons: Well-written smut, well-filmed, sensual love scenes, some songs.
4 Life Goals: Write novels, have a job, travel or even live abroad. Love and live without being hindered by insecurities.
5 Things I Like: sunlight, nice food, feeling pretty, icon-making, warmth.
6 Weaknesses: Insecurity. Impatience. Fear of conflict. Lack of honesty regarding my feelings. Always wanting to do too many things, and never taking anything relaxedly =P And if those count as one, being awkward with people (IRL or in live conversation) and bad at keeping in touch.
7 Things I Love: Reading, writing, languages, music, lovely people, psychology, the beauty in little things.
And another one:
You can tell a lot about someone by the music they listen to. Hit shuffle on your music device and list the first 20 songs.
RULES: no skipping. be honest. pass it on to 10 people consider yourself all tagged.

This is an occasion to post, so hi? I’ve been a bit AWOL in terms of updates and the positives posts, sorry—been a bit hectic. I’ve been fine besides, though—been mostly focusing on practising my languages, aka reading articles in German and Italian like I did before, but also noting looking up more of the unknown words instead of understanding from context, and trying to memorize a small list of them everyday, plus brushing up my Italian conjugations because those were really lacking. It’s been working well, and I think it really helps, so I’m happy—yesterday I was writing to my German penpal and it felt smoother and most of all more enjoyable. That’s a pretty good sign especially since I know the moment I really got fluent in English was the moment when I could just naturally think in the language, and enjoyed it—so I get I’m on the right track? :)
Also, I've been listening to a lot of Amanda Palmer and downloading lots of Doctor Who, which kind of gives me rewatching urges. That's about it =P
While Iʼm at it, there have been vids:
Usual legend:
What looks like a wonderful show, with a song I fell in love with:
I don’t like to mix it up with my silly memes and me-update stuff, but I canʼt just say nothing, so I’ll still close this post with a tribute to the people who were killed in France this week. To the journalists, and to the policemen, and to the Jews. It’s beautiful to see people come together in the streets to defend the freedom of speech, but I wish some wouldn’t forget the other victims… "Je suis Charlie" needs to become a longer motto.
Love y’all. ♥

If I can get past the craziness (yes it's still ongoing) of the change in companies (and the necessary horrible changes in medical care plans, because of course this country doesn't have single-payer medicine, and the new plan I'm on isn't as good as the old plan I was on with my old company), I'm going to try to learn how to do icons. I have some vacation time coming up, and that could be one of the things I enjoy in my free time.
I also want to thank you for your continuing thoughts on all the killings sparked by the attack on Charlie Hebdo.

And that the medical care plans aren't too much trouble to deal with, ugh… Let me know if you do start icon-making, I'd love to see your progress! It's a great hobby to have, I've found, I find it really relaxing and satisfying.
You're welcome, there is definitely a lot to discuss there…
