List post, because segues are for people who are better at words than me.
1. On Monday, on the way to work, I saw some deer! One of them was definitely a stag because he had a massive set of antlers.
2. I put some of the Waterman ink I got around Xmas in one of my fountain pens and OMG I LOVE THE COLOUR. It's exactly the sort of purple I want, so I am very glad I got it!
3. I started using my Sakura sketchbook and, while it's small, I don't feel like I mind too much? But I really like square sketchbooks, so that's probably it. Also the paper is REALLY NICE to draw on, and it handles all sorts of inks that I've put on it!
4. I finally got past all the Humbabas in FFXIII, although it involved grinding and upgrading my weapons (sighs). I think I probably did it wrongly, even though I followed the advice in the strategy guide but eh. After two attempts at the boss at the end of Edenhall (I beat it on the second go), I am now dicking around on Pulse again to activate some of the Cie'th stones/do mild grinding.
Also it turns out from looking through my tags that this is my third full replay - I've beaten it twice before, but had forgotten, d'oh. I thought I'd got almost to the end a second time, but not beaten it AND I didn't realise it was only a year after I first beat it that I replayed it. But I didn't have many 360 games back then, so that explains that.
5. I'm still convinced I don't have ADHD, but omg this post on reddit absolutely nails how my weasel brain feels.
Also someone in the comments mentions buying stuff you're currently obsessed with as impulsive behaviour, and I'd never thought of that! (I mean, reckless spending yes, but other than that, nope). But I do this a lot when I find a new thing to be obsessed with - I want to buy stuff related to it (and have done in the past). And, of course, we all know about my stationery addiction :D
6. I realised the other day that I don't necessarily want to write stories, but I want to make up characters and play about with them. Which I don't see as the same thing. Like, I'd write little vignettes about them, which one day might lead to a full story, but not make them up and then think, "Right, I need a world and such and such for this to all go in!" which is how I've approached writing in the past. Unless it was fanfic, in which case I just did what my brain wanted, and stuff the consequences.
This section brought to you by thinking about making up skateboarding teenagers (very nebulously rn), but realising I didn't want to create a story involving skateboarding (even though it is a thing I love a lot).
