healingmirthMy resolution this year is to unfuck my habitats, electronic and physical. Part of what that means is exercising a liiiiiiitle bit of discipline, and not haring off about new shiny things, so now I think I'm two or three days behind on my reading list while I work on paring down my browser excess.
I have a digital hoarding problem, for real. I had - literally, exactly - 100 tabs open in my active browser session at yuletide reveals, and I've been working on taking that down by 5 a day by either reading or jettisoning (or downloading to read later, in the case of long fic, which probably might as well be jettisoning). It's getting harder as I go.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to at least keep to current levels of home disorder, and then the next project is getting home to a state where I wouldn't be embarrassed to have guests see my kitchen or stairwell. Hopefully by my birthday, even though there is no freaking way I am celebrating in my own house.
After that, it'll be time to seriously attack the WIP folder, quick, before a new fandom gets its hooks in me. I'm thinking about trying to post a fic a month, either actually, or on average.
On a wholly unrelated note, how the hell did I miss Maya Angelou passing away in 2014? Did I not miss it, and just subsequently forgot? May was my month of trying to de-injure myself, but I would have thought I'd been spending more time in the spaces likely to inform me of that, not less.
Increasingly likely that I knew, and promptly forgot.
Also, this is a paragraph that I really liked. Context is a blog post about that movie where they're in space. No, the other movie where they're in space.

In the real world, nobody is having this exact fight… but people have fights like this, and when they do, it’s very important to Team Humanities that Team Science be wrong. There needs to be a place in the world for emotions! There needs to be a place for human dignity! There needs to be more in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamt in your philosophy! If it could be proved that emotions violate the laws of relativity (or that ghosts exist, or whatever), Team Humanities would claim this as a giant victory… but so would Team Science, actually. Because if it can be proved, then Team Science just learned something about emotions, or relativity, or ghosts, that they didn’t previously understand.
