I seem to be starting up an IRC channel for my site again. I got the taste for IRC again after I helped set up another one for DR stuff.

I'm trying to make this relatively private, so contact me first if you wanna join the channel and I'll give you the info. I don't expect the channel to be big or anything, just throwing the offer out there in case someone is interested.

I'm kinda excited to have an IRC presence, it's been a while. Now that I'm on a rpol break I have had this huge urge to do IRC RP. I guess 'cause it's faster and lightweight and tends toward more casual play.

But I still have plenty of other potential projects on my plate. Ooh and I just set up a private forum for Kalli and her friend, so that got me excited for setting up web stuff. I may even update Drupal in a little bit, maybe set up a RP site idea I had... we'll see!

I actually have another post I wrote earlier which I will finish and post later, but for now I'll write what I've been up to lately!

Hrm... I've been doing the Festival of Air Banquet event at my Academy game. It's going fairly well. I even got someone doing NPC help. I feel bad though because everyone's so excited about posting and I don't know if I can always keep up.

My games are all that give me purpose or reason to do anything at all in a day, lately. It's like... all I can do with myself any more is write play-by-post. Everything else is too hard or not worth the trouble. I don't know. I should stop being this way, but it doesn't just stop because I think I should.

Doesn't stop me from feeling like a failure, though.

It seems like am losing at least one player from Five Coils, and while I am likely getting replacements for them (two already lined up) the circumstances have me rather frustrated.

One of the people leaving is someone I had really been looking forward to playing with on RPoL. His leaving bothers me not so much because of his reasons as because I felt like he was hoping for an "out" but guiltily waiting for me to give one. I would have preferred he just told me instead of dragging it on for weeks and weeks. It's not like I couldn't already *tell*. :/ But I suppose he was trying to give it his best shot despite that.

I went out again today, to make a phone call about my check card. The bank told me I have to wait until a month before the expiration 'cause that's when they send the new one out. I tried to get them to send it sooner but they wouldn't. :( So I have to wait and get my parents to forward it next July.

I'm liking that I've been out every day the past three days. Just doing little things at a time, but I'm doing things and I'm getting less anxious. Definitely need more time and exposure to being outside to build my confidence, though.

Next Jan. I hope to finally get started on some French classes, since I won't be in university till the fall. (Again, assuming I get accepted, though I heard from my therapist not long ago that she already sent off the letters on my behalf. That's very encouraging.)

Erm... well...

Sorry I've been really scarce online, just not much in the mood to be about what with the upcoming move and my mood lately. Honestly, I'm not even sure we'll get everything done that needs doing before Friday. Still a lot left unpacked and I hardly have any motivation to help. *sigh* Jon kept telling me I didn't have to help, and now we only have two days left with too many things still left unpacked. (I've actually been embellishing the truth with some people about just how much we have done, heh.)

I don't even know how we're bringing some of our stuff to Montreal ourselves, when I don't even have my car back or know whether it runs properly!
