Sitting in a room.

Sitting in my room with light piano music in my headphones. I'm looking out my window, watching the night. It's raining outside, as it has been ever since Friday.

It's kind of weird. I can't remember the last time I just did this. Just sat and looked out my window, listening to music, and just relaxing.

All too often lately, my relaxing has been putting some movie on (usually my favorite  B-horror trash at that), as reading and other such pursuits tend to remind me too much of the intellectual burnout I've been struggling with.

But this... this is far more relaxing and recuperative. It's meditative, and therapeutic. Just a much needed respite from the trials and tribulations, and horrors and hang ups of the daily grind. Maybe it's all I need.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Certainly, on both accounts.  :)

Phox, I think that a lot of us, especially those who are extremely self-motivated, have a tendency to completely forget how to just stop DOING, and just relax and do nothing. I think it's really important to re-learn that from time to time, and to make space for it in our lives.

I completely agree. Gotta remember that for the next time I have a day or two to myself.  :)

Totally feel you on that, except that it hasn't rained here for more than a month.

And your new avatar is fucking sweet.

It has rained here precisely 7 days since April, and this is just from the hurricane :horrormirth: :horrormirth:

And thank you.  :)

You have hurricane weather too? God has been pissing on me since 6 days ago. I think I'm going to miss the bulk of it however.
I thought this is all there is,
but now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
but will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

So some people say, and who am I to argue with you?

Myself, I prefer to rely on roller derby.  It is the only thing I love that loves me back.

Me, I stab men in the junk for fun and relaxation.  (Sorry, Richter.)

I didn't know you got such little rain this year.  :sad:
