josilverdragonMy phone has AMAZING power now. Like, even if I use it to read or listen to music or even watch YT vids, the charge on my phone lasts all day. It's disconcerting but AWESOME.
Started a Sleep Token community because one hasn't been done yet. Insanejournal is worse because the interest "Sleep Token" is ONLY listed on my account lol. Should see about a community on IJ as well so it's mirrored. Can never be too complacent about sites. I will be devastated if either IJ or DW goes down.
Anyway, so far I feel good about this hiatus. I miss some things but not the constant noise. I'll miss being away from that when I go back but I'm thinking I'll probably try to scale a lot back. We shall see come September.
62 days until I see my band in Portland! Eeeee! I am so excited.
Other than that? I'm doing good. My time is spent reading (mostly fanfic right now), trying to fix the mess of a journal I have here as well as back up my tumblr posts. I fixed 2 months of duplicates last night as it was quiet in comparison. I still have 2006-2012 to fix but it might not be as bad as I was imagining.
Next Friday is the start of a week long vacation and even if I am staying home, I am looking forward to it. Peace and quiet without the parentals will be nice.
Randomly started looking for what world religion type degrees there are out there because I want to learn theBible/Christianity as well as Islam and others and have been trying to find curriculum that will fill my desire to study. I may not be religious but I am fascinated by it. Especially with how much of Christianity has been perverted by the evangelicals and even the Catholic church, from time immemorial.
Of the above paragraph, I also thought in context of how to find a community locally but I find that I don't know if studying religion as a whole would win me friends in that circle, considering I'm atheist. But that's the crux of it, I want to find a community again because my worst fear came true and the community I was in previously didn't want me back. I need friends in the area, even as I lament not having my closest online friends near me. Just gotta find something. Eventually.
