Writer's Block: Seasons in the sun
Apr. 9th, 2010 03:30 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
Nothing makes me happier than rain, but it gives me crippling headaches so - it's a little strange to feel elated and so unable to move and miserable at the same time.
I'm one of those people that loves the first snow fall, and the way the night looks when it's quiet and dark, and snowing or it just snowed. I don't get all hyped up and into it like people do, because I know in a day or two I'm going to be scowling at gray slush and shoveling my weight in snow to get on with my day... I don't understand people that rant and rave about it, just to hate it in 24 hours... But I do appreciate it, quietly.
The Spring where it's warm, but still not summer - that works, too. Every year, when I go to AB, I'd commute so I'd come home to warm Spring air and just play with Orion in the street, still in costume. It was a little surreal this year to come home, and feel that same temperature and not have the con to look forward to the next day.
I've thought about moving to other places because of the climate, I'd love to go to Arizona or something. Hot with no humidity is pretty much - ideal weather for me, and I rarely get to be in it. I'm kind of realistic, though and as a realist figure I can take snow and changing climates to poisonous spiders and other threats present elsewhere. I prefer dangers that I know, thank you.
As far as warding off depression? It's never been so troubling that I couldn't work, but from November - March I have trouble writing, being social and interacting with people. I usually start to come out of it as early as January, but it's never consistent. That's usually my quiet time to withdraw into myself, which is when I get removed from games for inactivity because I just can't make myself even post one line for a character to stay off activity checks... and the damn things get more complicated in every game. So, I kind of just lay low and hope for the best. Which didn't end so well this year, I kind of went straight from November '08 to January '10 in a haze. I never really thought of it as a seasonal depression until this year, either - so now I try to be more aware of it.
I guess that's everything. Longest response to the writer's block ever. I think it's time for bed.
