klenaSo my plan was to go into Leeds and just wander around, enjoying the Bank Holiday. And I didn't because I am lazy. So I have been sitting online for nearly 6 hours, alternating between 9Gag, downloading Opera (Firefox just will not allow me to stream video without freezing every 30 seconds) and looking at jobs. Yes, jobs. I am being all responsible, aren't we all proud!
I also signed up for a Dreamwidth account because it seems like a lot of friends are getting dual journals/abandoning LJ after the latest palava with the commenting changes so I am there as Klena. Let me know if you guys are over there.
Then I created my 2012 resolutions. Most of them are quite grown up - get a job by the end of this month, start paying off my student loan, look at pension schemes, visit home more often. But there are creative things there too. I have one for my soul as well. But I think the best one I've decided upon is:
You know that confident, ballsy, "Fuck 'em", good looking young woman that people keep telling you they see? You are that person. Try not to forget it.
On New Years Eve a friend from Anime Soc told me she had had a little bit to drink but wanted to admit to me that when she met me, she had a crush on me because I was confident and secure in myself and wasn't afraid to stand up for myself/things I believed in. I was so flattered! And I forget that a lot, that the person I am socially is also me. I like her a lot, she's fun. And powerful. And people around me like her so I am going to remember that I'm fucking smart and silly and powerful and confident.
Even if I don't, fuck it. Fake it 'til you make it.

Date: 2012-01-03 02:03 am (UTC)Well, okay, so that hasn't made me leave LJ either. Yet. But some of the magic has definitely faded in light of all that, and it's not like my Permanent Account didn't pay for itself years ago. So. No big loss if I ever did ditch this site. I'd probably just start a personal journal on my own host in that case, rather than relying on yet another external service that'll probably just disappoint me in a few years. At least on my own hosting, I don't have to worry about finding out I've been talking smack behind my own back in Russian because I think I'm not intelligent enough to translate. ;)
The point of all this blather is, I have a Dreamwidth account, and you are welcome to add it in case I ever start logging in there more than twice in the past ten months! Username is mystagic and hurr hurr, I bet NOBODY would have EVER guessed that. XD
