I’m not posting on here much and I have a lot to say, but not at liberty to say most of it unfortunately. One thing I can say is my new kitten Peanut has greatly lifted my spirits and possibly brought a new love into my life. Though that was possibly more related to the loss of my former cat.
Career-wise, I have an actual website I’ve started working on (for a decent rate), I believe this is one thing I can’t discuss since I think I signed an NDA. I haven’t heard back from KCRW, but I did at least get to do a video interview. Though I’m far from most friends and family, I’m still feeling close with Social Media.
Happy Holidays!
Most years, I go the cheapest possible route for Holiday/Christmas cards. I wanted to do something special this year since I did get an adorably photogenic kitten and I’m feeling more loved this year than usual. So I made a couple versions of my card in Shutterfly and sent them to a select few friends and family.
This final version was very limited since I only had 10 made, so consider yourself very lucky if you got one! I have started an Instagram account just for Peanut, so follow it if you want mostly Kitten pics – though I show up on occasion too.
I have spent an appalling amount of time on Social Media this year, in lieu of seeing people in person – I’ve settled for a lot of the virtual kind. It’s been mostly okay, though at times, frustrating and annoying. It’s important to not be on there all the time, which is not a rule I always follow.
However, my constant kitten posts have lead to this great and extremely amusing meme from my friend Judy Lyon, who runs Torched Magazine.
Survivors
Honestly, if you came out of 2020 alive, I’ll say you’re a survivor who can withstand anything. Another thing I did recently is join a vaccine study where I have a 50% chance of getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or a placebo. I’m fine either way, though I did have a violent reaction due to my period. It was just intensified cramps and unpleasant diarrhea.
#TopNine2020
Though the end of the year is still 16 days away, I thought I’d post my Top Nine for both my main Instagram and Peanut’s Instagrams. Surprisingly, a text meme from Queens Over Bitches was my most popular post, though my mention from Garbage was very popular too. It’s not often I get reposted on a band of that caliber’s Instagram!
There have been very few actual experiences this year, which is normal for me though not most people. I’ve been used to a reasonable amount of social distancing in the past and it’s not such a bad thing to me. The big difference this year is that I did find out someone I’d been seeing for the past few years was actually cheating on me, but that allowed me to open myself up to a true love I’d never expected.
The Future
There’s not much I can say about this love of mine except that I never saw it coming… Next year, I hope to finally meet him in person and we’ll see where things go from there. I would have wanted to spend the holidays with him this year, but I can wait and hopefully, it will be life changing for us both.
