I'm ramping up to do some advertising locally, so I've been busy making changes and updates to my wiki, Librarian Chick, where I host a list of free educational resources. I noticed that because of this, I've been neglecting some of my other sites, including this one. I honestly think I have my hands in too many pots at once. My apologies. I'm currently searching for some form of balance.
Real life has been meh. The DD really uplifted my spirits. Thanks for all your support, guys. It's hard to keep an upbeat online persona when you're feeling sucky in real life. Ironically, it's online where things are really happening for me! I've been selling more prints, getting lots of orders for mini Flying Spaghetti Monsters, and I have a buyer interested in one of my original paintings. Additionally, my blog, Librarian Chick and FOSSwiki have all had record high visitors and pageviews this month. I also noticed LC has been saved over 2,500 times on del.icio.us! That's pretty awesome, I never dreamed it would be such a popular resource!
I won't get into the things that are bringing me down in the real world. I am trying to stay focussed. Before everything fell apart, I had a dream that I was swimming in the ocean and suddenly, a huge storm developed, creating a funnel that ripped through the waters, which had been calm only moments before. The blackened clouds sent lightning bolts through the sky, that split into new layers of lightning bolts, like fractal patterns, spreading out until they vanished into the horizons. My husband and I were fighting to survive, caught in the mud and muck of the shore while the storm raged. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity of struggling, we were able to escape, and I remember we were safe and warm, looking over the tumultuous sea from a balcony. The next day, I just couldn't shake this dream. I finally sketched it out hoping to exorcise it... but the drawing gave me the creeps so I stashed it away. That very night, the storm hit and it's been a struggle for my family and I ever since.
I have faith that at the end, I'll be looking out over the storm from a safe and peaceful place, but trying to emerge from the muck in the meantime... I'll be honest, the muck fuckin' sucks.
You know you want to order a FSM cuz they're so cute... and also, I really need the cash.
P.S.
A thing just occurred to me.
Why have I always felt more open to talk about my personal life with you, my DA friends, whereas I prefer to keep my emotions hidden from the readers of my personal blog? Is it because I feel a sense of connectedness to my fellow artists and poets? Is it because you have always accepted me for who I am, despite my faults and my mood-swingy comings and goings?
