This is how I felt and how I feel. Feel free to skip if you don't care about my life =)
For the past 3 years or so I've felt like I was siking down the ocean. As if I was drowning, but I was still alive, I was just like under the water, where I couldnt really breathe, I couldnt hear anything, just distant sounds, as if I was actually under water. I wasn't sleeping but I wasn't fully awake either. I could hear noise around me. As if I was locked in a box with soundproof that didnt work completely, I couldt hear the mumbling but it was loud enough for me to understand, and I didnt care enough to try to understand. There's been just too much pain (my fibromyalgia - can't spell it in english), and I was just too involved in my own pain to actually care. It sounds selfish, I know, but it's how I felt.
Since 2005 there are just a few things I remember that were important: my college graduation and 3 trips I made in 2006. I dont care about the last 2 trips and dont want to really think about it, just the first was nice. But also, that's it. Nothing else happened those past 3 years. I feel like it's just been 2 months, not 36 (38 to be exact since my graduation was in august/2005).
But then, all of sudden, I felt like I was getting out of the water. I felt like waking up.
Strangelly enough what woke me was Twilight and Muse. The pain is still here, but I'm managing it and ignoring more than usual.
I heard about the book, and saw the EW cover in june, but it didnt catch my attention, just like anything else. 3 or 4 weeks ago a friend of mine had read Twilight and told me to read it, and I was actually looking for a new book, since I was getting tired of re-reading Harry Potter and The Vampire Chronicles. I went and ordered Twilight and New Moon.
They've arrived on september 30 I think. It was the same week I started working mornings.
And I got addicted. For the first time in 3 years I felt good. I read the book in 2 nights. Second book I started on night 2, and I ended up reading all 4 books in 6 days. And I've already re-read the series once. I can't stop reading it.
So, I opened
the site, which is what I've always done do "channel" and direct my obsessions. It feels good to be obsessed.
It's bad I got into so late cause now there are 2000 sites about it and I dont even know how to start promoting it. I don't have many logins anymore. I've *always* had my sites on
top and high google rank. And it was always very fast to get ranked, but I dont know how to do now. I will keep trying.
And Muse. I've always seen you guys talking about this band. But I never really listened. I'm addicted now. It's awesome. It's inspiring.
It does feel good to feel inspired. I'm still frustrated cause I cant do pretty sites anymore. They just look ok. I used to be more proud of my own work, I'm not as much anymore, but maybe I just need to try harder.
Now I want to get back to LJ. I miss it. I need a paid account but I can't afford it. Are free still customizable?
