Because I haven't got the energy for anything more substantial.

Good news:

• I pick up my new car on Friday
• I found a flat, curvy, full length mirror to put on my wardrobe, so I can finally see my reflection without standing on tip-toes and leaning over the bathroom sink
• I discovered why, in the late-70s All Creatures Great and Small episodes I can quite happily see Peter Davison as Tristan, yet in the late-80s episodes I struggle to see him as anything other than Peter Davison: it's because he changes the side he parts his hair on. It started off as the other way to Robert Hardy and ends up the same way.
• Neil Gaiman's books are really good. I read Neverwhere and am halfway through Anansi Boys
• The Sarah & Harry marriage fic seems to have gone down really well. Which made me happy.

Bad news:

• I'm still ill and the latest doctor I went to said it could take 6-8 weeks to go away. I'll have it for 5 weeks come Monday
• My whole social life consists of Rotaract meetings. I only really leave the house for work, food shopping and Rotaract meetings. I just can't plan to do anything until I know I can survive without a lie down for more than a couple of hours. I'm still recovering from helping out at the World Pooh Sticks Championships, where I stayed for three hours and it was too long really.
• The mirror dropped off the wardrobe and broke at 5.30am and woke me up with such a fright. It was not a cheap mirror.
• I'm really feeling like I don't exist to most of the people at TR (one of the LJ roleplaying games I'm in). I come up with plots that no one is interested in until someone more popular suggests them. I rarely get anything in a meme of give and take - even the most recent one I wrote eight drabbles and only had four replies. Even if they hated them you'd think they'd at least be grateful they got one because not everyone did. I'm still a bit miffed that when they did a meme of giving people stuff and kudos etc I got nothing. I liked RPing there, it just feels like if I left, I could count the number of people who would care on the fingers of one hand and I don't know how to change that.
• Relatedly, as much as I like RPing, people dropping threads without saying are driving me mad. I have tried reminding them, but then I either get a reply saying they're going to tag, but they don't, or I get one tag. I know people will put plotty threads first, but if my characters can't get to know people, how can I have plotty threads?
• Also relatedly, but less specifically, why is it always me that has to think up plots? Okay, so I like doing it, but sometimes it would be nice if someone would contact me about a plot instead of the other way round.
• Also relatedly, I miss RS. I don't know if it's ever going to come back/be as good as it was, although I don't know how much of what I remember was good is nostalgia. But I still have the jamfish icon.
• BST. I no longer know what planet I'm on

OK, so that's a lot of bad things, but the labyrinthitis is allowing the things that usually just irk me a bit to really get me down. And I didn't even include any work things on that list, purely because they would be too much effort to explain.
