December

[oanja]

So I did not finish Nano this year either. I did make it to around 25k before stalling out, so that's still pretty good. I'm not unhappy with that. Now I just need to find a wordcount that actually works for me and how often I can make myself write without it becoming a chore...

Also in November: I went on a date last weekend and had a pretty good time. We've been sending messages after that and he called me today and we spent an hour talking about politics and how the world seems to be going down the drain, which while not very optimistic or fun topic, it was still nice to see we share opinions on important issues.

Then this week I've somehow tricked myself into the kpop fandom, which is a bit odd, as I didn't make the jump back in 2008-09 when I got out of jrock fandom :D But this seems fun now, and I suppose I've always gravitated to rps fandoms for one reason or another and I miss having an active fandom, so this might be fun. (I know the actual fandom can be... a bit much, but at the same time, I was in the 1D fandom and survived that, so hopefully this won't be worse than that)

Congrats on the 25k! And also on the nice date.

I was in the 1D fandom and survived that
Haha, I wasn't in the fandom but it sure seemed wild from the sidelines. :D

Yes, November was not all bad, even though it's still my least favourite month.

It was bonkers, but luckily I'm pretty good at curating my fandom experience by now, so mostly I missed the worst stuff going on in there :D

New fandoms are super fun! And yeah, the k-pop fandom can't be WORSE than the 1D fandom...right? Right.

Yes, they are the best! I've missed it. I think hockey was my last 'new' fandom and I got into that in 2013(?) so it's been way too long. *happy sigh*

I think it might be in some ways, but so far I've been happily ignoring all of that and just looking at all the pretty gif sets and videos and reading fic. That's the level of engagement I'm most happy with :D
