Whatever the mess you are, you're mine.

Back in April when I was swamped and tied down, I fantasized about all the fannish catching up I was going to do when I was "free" with summer break. Trouble is, freedom doesn't feel free when you're really uncertain about the future. I don't really know why I let myself go on the road to utterly wrecked sleep cycle and no structure or (even leisurely) ambition, but this ALWAYS happens when I have no deadline in the future. Now, I have secured employment and will be working toward my first day of new hire orientation on July 24. Meaning that my completely free time is almost at its end. Normally, that'd have me in tears just because I hate change, but I honestly think that this summer has taught me that I was completely right about my inclination that teaching was good for me, pacing-wise. I can see my next break in the future, but it's far enough out that I do know I have to commit and get things done during my days, and I think this lifestyle will really suit me if I can just get myself in gear.

I've decided to make a to-do list for things I want to do in terms of consuming fandom content. I might make a different sort of post about my fanworks later, but this is about the canon itself.

I don't really know if being arrested by nostalgia like this is good for anyone, but I can't seem to help it? I just feel like I fell into such a slump on some of this stuff that I missi t so badly...
