I have been a very bad LJ/DW friend this year, thanks to a bad case of workaholicism, especially these last few months. While initially motivated by legitimate financial issues, I kind of have a problem: a tragic inability to turn down work even when I've got more than enough. It's led to me not having a day off in months, and being completely exhausted... working 40 hours weeks even when I'm really sick and so on. It doesn't help that the one question nearly everyone asks you when you're freelance is 'do you get enough work?'/'are you still getting work?' That hits my anxiety buttons STRAIGHT away--it's always easy to believe the next job will be your last, and too often I let anxiety and not my instincts decide whether I take a job or not. That's got to change. Even if it means taking longer to get out of debt or having to cut back on some things.

Anyway, today being my first day off, I logged into my fannish email inbox for the first time in a couple of months today... I haven't checked my friendslist in... god I don't even know... but it doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about any of you. I hope my friends here are well and that if you're celebrating a holiday, it is a restful and relaxing time for you and your family!!

While I can't ever hope to 'catch up' exactly, I do hope to have a little more time to myself, to watch some vids or maybe even do a little vidding myself, and to reconnect with people, over the next few months. Life's too short to keep torturing myself like this.

So anyway, sorry for sucking, hopefully I'll suck less in 2012, and best wishes to all!

I love him playing at being an 'Aussie' in this boardshorts. LOL. And I'm glad he got to bask in the glorious weather we've been having this spring.

It's so good I'm not a stalker. I had no idea he was in my hometown. (THANK GOD.)

Hello LJ/Dreamwidth peoples! I have been extremely absent of late... eaten alive by work and guilt about work... which isn't at all fun and must be rectified soon!

Breaking internet silence for selfish reasons, but I can't overlook this because it is so precious and rare and beautiful to be given such a gift:

tree has compiled an incredible vid commentary of Some Time Around Midnight. It's beautiful (visually and emotionally!) and very thoughtfully put together and gives me that extraordinary gift of being able to see my own work through someone else's eyes.

I hope you are all well and that your lives are rich, creatively and otherwise. ;)

It's a good thing I didn't really promise myself I'd post this any more regularly! ;) But here's the rest of the vidding meme...
