I have been working on removing those duplicated (triplicated lol) posts still and decided that I would make a playlist on YT of all the songs I referenced in the music section at the bottom of the journal entries and now I'm revisiting some of my favorites from twenty years ago lol. Well, nineteen. It's been a treat to listen to it between fixing sessions and remember why I liked them, or was listening to them. Some are from an internet radio site called Live365 (I have not yet looked to see if it still exists and I'm kind of afraid to) and some are from suggestions from friends on LJ and some those I stumbled upon in my own search for music. And from the various music blogs that would share Japanese pop and rock releases.

My phone said I used my phone 5 hours more than last week and I'm like yeah, I've been reading on it LOL. All fanfiction. It's a lot nicer to read on my phone without all the socmed app notifs and I have been READING and READING and I cannot complain because it's been the best. All that socmed time now on what I really wanted to do, which is read. The downside is I've been reading at work, so instead of wasting time on socmeds, I'm reading fanfic lol. I still get my work done, but yeah. It's just hilarious to me that I would be using my phone MORE and using LESS energy to do it. My phone battery is AMAZING. I'm at 56% and the last time my phone was charged at 100% was at 3pm YESTERDAY.

***CAT BREAK: Pele felt the need to sit upon me, which makes it hard to type lol.***

I checked my phone and yesterday I was on ReadEra Premium (my ebook/fanfic epub reading app) 6 hours and 40 minutes. Haha.

I know when my hiatus is done that I'll be re-adding Twitter because two of my closest friends are on that app and that's how I interact with them the most. I'll probably re-add IG and FB because of Sleep Token archiving and we'll go from there. I'm not sure what I'll do moving forward but I would like to continue to use DW because, as I've written before, it's so nice just to write. Just to feel through things and write.

I'm also considering finding my old journals and adding them, post-dated so they don't show up on reading pages, but an electronic record of some of my earlier, more cringey journal writings LOL. We'll see. I still have to finish fixing the triplication issue, add the fanfic posts, add my poetry, maybe add some tumblr stuff (more than the fanfic stuff) but maybe I might do that at some point. We shall see.

Summary:

“Do you. Want. The Bite?” Peter repeated, as if he were talking to a child, "Yes or no?"

“I don’t want to be like you,” Stiles said with conviction, but Peter could hear past the words.

The kid may believe he was telling the truth, but Stiles was only lying to himself, and Peter knew it. Here, the alpha smirked, a predatory gaze fixed on the boy's body. “I wasn’t really asking.”

I enjoyed this. 

In editing my older posts, to back them up on Insanejournal and correct the tags and remove the duplicates, I keep coming across my writing of the 30shards community drabbles with Sesshoumaru/Kagome and fuck. I kind of did alright with my writing. I mean, "His voice sidled into the night, pushing her thoughts aside." WHERE THE HELL DID I COME UP WITH THAT.

Also, I miss the people who used to interact with me all the time then. I wonder what they are up to, those people who encouraged me and stood as witness to the darkest four years of my life.

EDIT to add: I was going to say I miss who I was then, but 20 years removed, I don't know if I can actually say that. I miss the community, and the people in it.
