i tidied my room today to make room for a huge beanbag i got as a gift. it would be amazing to draw in that thing, but it'd involve moving a few things around to get my PC in the right place, so we'll see if i can make that work. if not, it'll make a great reading/lounging/napping spot. my back has been hurting lately and it really feels good to sit in it, since the "beans" move around a bit like memory foam

i might see about getting some fairy lights to string up in my room for next year. maybe see if my parents are ok with me putting up some posters - i'm worried about damaging the paint since we're trying to sell the house but this room is just so BLEAK and white/grey and euahgh

my new year's resolution is to stop drinking altogether, cold turkey, WITH the exception of actually leaving my house and going out to drink socially (which is a deterrent, for me, because i am introverted and tired and that is a lot of effort) so uhh i guess we'll see about that too.

i also want to draw more, and faster, and also to play more Furcadia. be the activity you want to see in the world, or whatever.

it's been a nice, quiet holiday. i'm working again tomorrow, like i was on xmas eve, and then i'll be working on new year's eve, but that just means more money and at this point i'm getting to a stage where it's not that much of a struggle to motivate myself to get up in the morning (close friends will know why) so that's fine...

i wanna say a big thanks to everyone who's become/remained my friend over the years. everyone's an absolute star. y'all know who you are. [clinks glass ceremonially]

Glad you’re doing well! That bean bag sounds awesome; we got a little one shaped like a turtle that I really like, & I wish we had the room for a big one. Good luck on quitting drinking! I got sober a few years ago (only drinking socially now), & it can be tough. But you can do it! *\o/*

TURTLE BEANBAG... that sounds adorable! mine is big and VERY ORANGE, so it's pretty much not allowed anywhere in the house except my room. everyone knows my affinity for orange things, luckily.

and thank you! it's a lot harder even to slow down than i thought it'd be, so after a while of trying to work on it a little at a time i think i just need to set one solid goal and cut myself off completely unless i'm out with other people. that's worked better for me in the past. i'm glad you made it too! <3

For the posters, try sticky tack/blu tack! I use them to hang up my stuff and it doesn't damage the paint at all.

i used to use blu tack all the time, but sometimes if you leave it up for a long time it can leave oily marks on the wallpaper... at least according to my mum, who is the final word on these things. i'm also wary of damaging my posters, since some aren't really available any more.... i might end up just buying frames for them and standing them up somewhere until i move out. thank you for the advice!! <3
