2022

I feel like a cat cautiously poking its head into a new room about this year. Unlike a cat, however, the nature of time means I do have to proceed into the new year whether I like it or not, and 2022 has been a bit up and down so far.

( the see-saw )

So in the spirit of being less of a hermit, I decided to try the snowflake_challenge again. We'll see how I do.

Challenge #1: update your fandom information

I tweaked a few things on various platforms bios and profiles, but mostly I ecided to do a much-needed update of my default icon (from...2011?!? goodness). I like having a consistent avatar across sites and mostly succeeded in that, but I couldn't make the damn bird fit into the circle icons on Twitter or Discord, so I picked another image which is quite pretty albeit more wintry than I prefer. My previous default was striking but not actually a sparrow which has always mildly bugged me, so I stole a new image off the internet and did my poor Photoshop best.

Challenge #2: set some goals for the coming year

I'm not going to go into detail here but broadly:

1) get physically and mentally more healthy
2) participate less passively in fandom: commenting, creating, discussing
3) deal with various things that have been piling up (physically and electronically)
