Posting?

[krait]

I should post, but have fallen into the issue of there not being much to say.

I'm tired a lot for no single particular reason; I'm working, in spare moments, on a couple of Homestuck fics that I hope to post to the kinkmeme when it moves to DW. I'm contemplating ways to exercise that don't involve the outdoors. I had a birthday. I still desperately want to be employed and feel like a failure as a grownup. I need to draw myself a new icon.

Notice how that's mostly a list of things that haven't been done? Yeah. That's why I haven't been posting. (Also see: tired.)

In more cheerful news, I'm travelling next week; I may or may not have internet access, but I anticipate much fun being had regardless.

Oo, travelling! Do kraits sidewind, burrow, crawl, or some combination? :D

[krait]

Depending on genus, they either crawl or swim! This Krait, however, will be flying. :D

Ugh, ditto for me most of the above (tired, exercise, birthday, grownup failure).

Enjoy travel? And then tell us about it? :)?

[krait]

I'll certainly try to take at least one really good picture to share. :D My camera's old and I lack photo skillz, but there's usually one or two that turns out worthwhile!

P.S. Happy birthday! :D

Getting in shape has done a lot for not feeling tired all the time, but I was shockingly out of shape to begin with.

I understand needing to set up exercise they way that you actually get it done, but don't underestimate the impact of fresh air and outdoor scenery on your physical and mental well-being!

I look forward to hearing what you settle on - taking up running has had such a huge positive impact for me, it's very hard not to think EVERYONE would be happier exercising.

Don't feel like a failure because of not being employed - the current economy is D:

Have fun travelling.

This is actually huge for me -- I pretty much *only* enjoy exercise that involves the outdoors! However, when it's 104 degrees and 65% humidity out there, it's impossible unless I wait till 9 PM or something. (Heat I can handle; humidity slays me.)

I can only hope. Though a lot of my current tiredness is tied to the "unemployed" thing, too; with no schedule to follow, I tend to push myself into staying up later and later. (History says I am naturally nocturnal, so without anything to hold me back that's what I start shifting toward.) Plus,the last few weeks have been extra-irregular due to one thing and another (weather, travel, family), and faced with a choice between sleep and fandom I choose the latter. :D

I wish I could run! My shinbones aren't sturdy enough, alas. I've no excuse for not cycling more, though! Need to get that into a habit rather than a whim.

Have fun travelling.

I will, I'm sure! I'll try to take at least one good picture. (I'm a horrible photographer.)

Ah, yes, the wonderful humidity! I tend forget how bad it is until I get out there, but at least it means I get out :D (and I'm currently forcing myself to run without timing it, so I don't fret over how slow I'm running).

History said I was nocturnal, too, until I got early morning jobs, and it turned out I was actually more of a morning person. The feeling tired all the time no doubt was also due to an for me unnatural schedule.

I hope you find work - I was unemployed for two years, if that makes you feel any better! It got very, very depressing towards the end. Although it didn't land me work, I highly recommend doing any unpaid work practices and similar things you can get (and even those can be hard to find, I know!!) - it's something to get up for in the morning, and it did give me experiences I could use when I finally did get a job.

Also, it sucks, but asking friends and family about helping you out if they can may pay off, too. After two years I finally broke down and asked my sister if she might be able to do anything to help, even just an unpaid work practice. And she was, and that got me to Copenhagen, where I met my boss at my current workplace, and long story short, I am currently employed, and yay, it was worth it, even though asking was hard :(
