::facepalm:: I'm rather afraid now begins the season where the best anyone will get from me is more or less brainless rambling about fanish topics and assorted groaning and whining about work and Christmas.

Watched two episodes of S4 Angel, which apparently is a kind of tv comfort food, albeit in a slightly masochistic rip out my heart, trample on it and goddamn I hate JW for fucking every character over in the worst way possible before finally killing them way. Watching these people struggle, knowing that there won't be a happy or even normal life end for any of them, with the possible exception of Connor, is downright cruel.

List 10 things that bring you joy and then tag 10 friends.

01. Creating - bad & rather pretentious choice of words, but I can't think of any better. Used to be ceramics; more recently, taking photos (I'm aware they're not particularly artistic, but the pleasure is in the process of seeing, choosing a motif, creating your own personal view of things). Can be something more prosaic like re-decorating the apartment or re-arranging books at work.
02. Nature, even little bits like walking through the park or looking up and seeing the moon and stars in the sky.
03. Figuring things out, analysing, bringing some kind of order in my thought process.
04. Music.
05. The kind of morning run when everything just fits, beautiful sunrise, your body is actually kind of enthusiastic for once...
06. Skiing.
07. Favourite tv shows on dvd.
08. Praise, especially from people I care for. Being appreciated. It's pathetic, but I can't help it.
09. Being able to give someone a present they really like.
10. Good conversations, the kind where some connection is established, where you actually talk with each other instead of at one another.
