These are just things I write, okay? Sometimes they're profound insights or funny stories and I'm really proud of them. Other times it's mindless rhetoric that I've since completely changed my mind about and am ashamed of. But most of the time it's just words.

Routine: The breaking and formation thereof

A pattern of action, sometimes nearly automatic. There was a major break in my routine late last month. I have moved. That in and of itself is another story, which really should have been told by now and ought to be told on its own.

A drastic break.
Uncertainty and chaos.
The inevitable resettling.
Catching up on things.
Turning into another routine.

For reasons that are, at this time, somewhat personal, a lot of my new routine seems to be subconsciously designed to ignore the passage of time. I offer this not as an excuse, but I do believe that is why my thoughts have been abscent from this page for so long. There is a date at the top of it. It prevents one day from truly being as the next.

This is a temporary situation, but parts of my psyche aren't ready to move on, don't want it to be brief. There is conflict, even in my moments of inaction.

Sadly though, this one update, standly alone boldy for the month of June, does not herald an immediate return to updates. I'm going out of town in two days, and expect to be gone for about a week and a half. When I'm back, hopefully I'll be beginning another drastic change in routine, though there are multiple forms in which this could come.

While I doubt any of you wish to join me in my searches for meaning, employment, or love, you may in fact want to join me in my favorite wastes of time in-between. These are Puzzle Pirates and The Kingdom of Loathing. My name is Excerebrose in each, please feel free to send me a message in either you should choose to play.
