There is something about listening to black metal that makes me want to make black metal. More so than other genres, although doom/death is a close 2nd. I have such fond memories of my past involvement in the local metal scene, would love to catch up with people again sometime.
Honestly annoying how drinking makes me want to be social. Yes, Illl have a little bit to drink to celebrate an achievement, but now I want to talk to everyone and have fun and whatnot, while earlier today I would have done anything to avoid having to interact with people.
Who would have thought being in a psych hospital would be so exhausting?!? Having to wake up and do things like eat breakfast every single day? Wild stuff.
@DAVID_LYNCH Hi David, I've been reminded it was five years ago today we chatted briefly over Skype at a Twin Peaks event in Australia. It's a lovely memory, thanks for being part of it. Hope you've been well :)
But like, it's also 11pm, so you know. Think I shall take this unusual energy and use it as fuel to try and reply to a few people whose messages I've not replied to in a disgracefully long time!
Fortunately, the leaves are always edible, as long as you get to them before the slugs, aphids, and caterpillars do. Have been playing around with baking/grilling them, similar to how you would make kale chips. Not bad.
Have not yet managed to successfully grow any brassicas without them bolting, so I think I'm just going to pretend I was growing broccolini all along, turning failure into a massive success!
You know how we're able to handle tons of stress, but a minor inconvenience will break us? Overnight something knocked over a bunch of small pot plants I'd recently transplanted, and now I want to burn down my whole garden.
I know it's silly, I'll be able to salvage most of the plants, but it is still deflating. Although reminds me of the other times I've wanted to burn it all down, including such hits as "so many slugs", "weevils everywhere", and "why are there rabbits in my veggie garden?!?"
I think it would be nice if I didn't have to deal with abject misery as my emotional baseline. Had more than enough of that already, super boring at this point. So yeah, will keep trying.
It's hard to overstate how disappointing it was to discover ECT, which for the longest time I had considered my 'if all else fails' backup treatment plan, didn't actually work for me. At least we tried, and we will keep trying.
