omg i'm still alive?

I AM!

HI GUUUYYYYYYS!

First I went a month, then two months! But I'm still here, if incapable of regular journal updates. So here's the couple of important things I can think of that have happened since my last post:

• I've more or less recovered from my autistic burnout. I literally just stopped doing everything that wasn't video games unless I really desperately wanted to, and it's done wonders for my mental health. I even abandoned plurk for the most part.


• I'm re-reading Girl Genius and am caught up on Nimona and Namesake. (NIMONA IS ENDING THERE ARE ONLY LIKE 3 PAGES LEFT SHE CANNOT POSSIBLY MAKE IT OKAY IN 3 PAGES OH MY G-D I CAN'T STAND IT.)


• I finally OFFICIALLY!!! started my conversion to Judaism! YAY! Full disclosure for anyone Jewish following me, I'm converting Reform, but honestly I'm converting non-Orthodox for 4 main reasons:
  
  1. I'm too poor to fully keep kosher or buy new shirts and wear skirts rather than pants to be tzunis
  
  
  2. I identify as non-gender-binary, though I am very femme at the moment, but the orthodox movement does not recognize even BINARY trans people.
  
  
  3. I am married to a woman. 'nuff said. (there's also the fact that she has no interest in converting, but that's a moot point when they wouldn't recognize us anyway)
  
  
  4. I live nowhere near an Orthodox shul


• We adopted what we think is one of May Daye's sisters, whom we have named Morrigan. She is a sweetie and also SO TOTALLY part Siamese. She loves me most. Mwahahah.


• We briefly adopted an 8-week-old kitten who moved onto our lot, but she now has a home elsewhere in the Bay area. We named her Tali'zorah nar Adorable, and she WAS adorable, and super friendly! She was also a complete handful in the way energetic kittens are, and neither of us had the energy to deal with her, so we're glad she went to someone who will love on her and give her the attention she deserves. (the girl who adopted her was a high schooler who'd recently broken up with her boyfriend. She was about as adorable as Tali was, it was a perfect match.)


• I currently have a bi-weekly yarn stipend. No seriously.

So yeah, SHIT'S GONE DOWN. But I'm alive and well, and Aubrey's alive and mostly well. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH Y'ALL???
