WESLEY Angel does have a point. Spike has been unintentionally disapparating more and more frequently.
GUNN Give him 20 minutes. He'll be popping up next to you in the bathroom, making cracks about your—(looks at Wesley) Am I the only one he does that to?
FRED I know he's done this before, but you saw the way he was acting. Something's different this time. He's agitated, hallucinating.
GUNN Ghosts can do that?
WESLEY We are dealing with a unique case here as far as manifestations go. Dementia isn't completely out of the question.
FRED He's not crazy.
GUNN Screaming about people who aren't there? That's grounds for involuntary committal under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act which states— Oh, sorry. Sometimes the law they stuffed in my noggin just clicks on.

| I don't talk about work a whole lot, mostly because I can't, per our policy lol. It's nothing super fancy or important, but it has a lot of customer information so we can't really talk about it, just that I work for a call center company.
A few months ago I got moved from Quality Assurance to Back-Office, which does emails, chat and will occasionally take calls. It was a pretty big transition because I lost a dollar and some change in pay and I no longer get holiday pay like I did before being in QA. On top of that, our work decided on a mandatory reduction of hours so I went down from 40 a week to 24, on top of having to now pay more for insurance through work, which is the only insurance I can afford.
Last week I was told by my manager that I would be undergoing training for the next two weeks starting this past Monday. Not too thrilled about it since it means I'll likely be moved from Back-Office to solely taking calls for this department we're being trained on. But the plus side is, because of training and using PTO for Christmas Day and New Year's Day, I'll get a solid 40 hours per week for the next two weeks, which I'm not going to complain about considering my cut hours the last few weeks.
No idea what my hours will be like after training. I'll have to go through the nesting process of taking calls, so I might get another week, at least, of 40 hours. Hopefully this means my hours will go back to normal. Blegh. | |

| I started introducing it this way in 2023:
The questions here sometimes feel random and sometimes aren't very relevant to me (how many one-night stands, bless; that feels like such a fossil of the height-of-LJ days when I first encountered this meme), but I do like it as a way to think a bit differently than I normally do about my life, and some things that had a big impact on me (like what a dog-hospital year it was for Gary) barely show up here. I do find myself at random points through the year noting things I do that I haven't done before, or wondering what my musical discovery might be, or whatever.
So here we go for 2025
1. What did you do in 2025 that you'd never done before?:
Wrote an extensive as the writer and basically project lead on a report at work -- never did this before, did it three times in a row this year.
Met a person from the internet and ended up having sex with them the same day. (Sorry if this is tmi, there will be no more details about it.)
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?:
I didn't call it a resolution but when asked later about what I'd like to have this year that I lacked the previous one, I said
Another sexual and/or romantic partner? This feels impossible but so do the last four years' worth of things and they all happened!
Like three days after I wrote this I started talking to somoene on the social media site that's basically a kinky version of Facebook which, like regular Facebook, you can only access if you have an account and I was getting memes and events linked to by a friend until I got fed up and made an account. Six months later, I got a random message from someone who wrote a comment that I'd "liked" (as with Facebook, it tells you when people like your shit and then you can go look at their profile and all that) and in August I met him and it was fun to have a no-strings arrangement with a friend.
Will I make more for next year? I'm not sure, I think the coming year is more about keeping what I have stable: work, house, relationships, friendships, life....
( +47 )
50. What are your plans for 2026?
Laat year I wrote
Try to help everyone survive it with as much comfort and joy as we can manage, especially in the U.S. but everywhere really.
And I don't think I can improve on that answer either.
In a lot of ways it's been a rough year: the quick and steep decline of human rights in the U.S. has been hard to watch and harder to be affected by so personally. Work has been so difficult. I've had such a miserable experience trying to get referred for top surgery -- in the process bringing up so much medical fatphobia that I haven't even blogged about the whole saga, I can barely even think about it without panic or tears. Even my escapist hobby of MLB has been reminding me that billionaires feel
But in other ways it has also been a good year: it was really nice to be able to provide a safe landing place for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) angelofthenorth and Mr Smith, it was nice to get through a November without anything (new) and terrible happening. Connections with the local queers have been deepened and I'm delighted that D and I are now on the small committee of people who've taken over from the two founders who have reasonably been able to step back and enjoy the thing they made as the ordinary attendees the rest of us have gotten to be the last two years.

| Today is sunny and cool, almost warm -- too warm for a jacket even. That's warmer than even the January thaw used to get.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I filled the trolley twice with twigs from the parking lot brushpile, then dumped them in the firepit in the ritual meadow.
I saw a flock of mourning doves in the trees around the ritual meadow.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I dumped another trolley of sticks in the firepit.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I dumped another trolley of sticks in the firepit.
I've seen a fox squirrel running through the trees. I heard a woodpecker but didn't see it.
EDIT 12/23/25 -- I dumped another trolley of sticks in the firepit. I think I've actually removed all the ones with berries that I want to burn, so the rest should be free for other uses.
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

| It's December Days time again. This year, I have decided that I'm going to talk about skills and applications thereof, if for no other reason than because I am prone to both the fixed mindset and the downplaying of any skills that I might have obtained as not "real" skills because they do not fit some form of ideal.

( I go way off topic here and it's all about Stranger Things )
Anyway, the tl;dr here is that I'm fully down the Byler rabbithole and I'm making it all of youz problem. It feels like a Public Service Announcement: SURPRISE, this Internet friend has been secretly a Stranger Things fan the whole time, and is now even more insane about it. I'm even half-assed plotting a Byler fanfic, and like I said, they're not even my favorite characters T__T

| Today I'm making rosemary-lemon holiday cookies, somewhat inspired by this recipe, but I'm using lemon powder and Maine pine bitters. The dough tastes good, at least. It's currently chilling in the fridge before I attempt to roll it out and cut little evergreen trees. Cutout cookies are not what I do best, but rosemary cookies just deserve that shape. EDIT 12/22/25 -- The cookies are done! \o/ They turned out quite delicious. The first bite just tastes like sugar cookie, but then the lemon and pine flavors bloom. Rosemary cookies are tricky to balance. Too sweet and they're just sugar cookies, not sweet enough and they taste like crackers; too little rosemary and they're sugar cookies again, too much and it tastes like you're baking with floor wash. But these are perfect. ( Read more... ) | |
