The following is from my personal journal, with names redacted to protect the innocent. I haven’t updated this (blog? Site? Garbage dump of the soul?) since fucking April, and not that anyone’s checking back for updates, I figured this particular piece of writing might provide some insight as to why that is. I suspect that … Continue reading She’s Alive, But She’s Not Doing Great (featuring a real journal entry)

The Sisyphus Shuffle
Saturday sunset, 04/20/24 (it was a lot more pink in person but the colors are still pretty) I have writer’s block. Sort of. I guess it depends on how one interprets “writer’s block.” When it comes to fiction, my hurdles are workable ideas, plot, and character development; in the realm of poetry, my obstacles are … Continue reading The Sisyphus Shuffle
The Magical and Maddening Properties of Time (Only Slightly Tamed By a New Special Interest in Spreadsheets)
Hello, gentle reader. It has been over a month since my last confession post, and while there hasn’t been much happening of note, I’m still frustrated with myself for such a span of silence. I was out of ADHD medication for a while due to shortages and miscommunication with my doctor’s office and with that … Continue reading The Magical and Maddening Properties of Time (Only Slightly Tamed By a New Special Interest in Spreadsheets)
Wheely? Wheely?!: The Mirrorball Strikes Again + January Reading Roundup
Hello friends, and welcome/welcome back to my little knothole on these here internets. A couple of weeks ago I wrote here about being on the web pre-social-media, and describing this space as a “knothole” just now unearthed a memory from under the decades of other dusty, moldering recollections: that my first website was titled “(Terrible … Continue reading Wheely?

Wheely? Wheely?!: Petty Observations and Assorted Complaints From the Skating Rink
We Begin This Story With a Lengthy Preamble So I played flat track roller derby for like… seven to eight years? This figure depends on whether I count that first year of learning. At the time, the league I skated with had an eight-week “fresh meat” skills program that generally graduated new skaters into the … Continue reading Wheely? Wheely?!: Petty Observations and Assorted Complaints From the Skating Rink
Time Myopia of a Different Sort
Hello pals, it is me, your ADHD Squirrelfriend, here to tell you three things: First thing: I have been on ADHD meds for a month and a half, and with the exception of the first disastrous day and the recent bumpy adjustment to a generic version of the prescribed medication, it’s been a nice return … Continue reading Time Myopia of a Different Sort
Psst! A Friendly Monday Evening Note
Hello, pals! This is exactly where I would like to be uploading a fresh new COSMIC LOVES MOVIES—in fact, the very first one, since last week was just an introduction—but I got so involved in today’s mini essay about the origins of my lifelong fascination with and delight in horror that I realized I’d be … Continue reading Psst! A Friendly Monday Evening Note
Friday Floof
Howdy and yeehaw, little campers! It’s the FriYAY Round Up, a rootin’ tootin’ recap of what I’m reading and watching. If I extended that to include what I'm playing and making that would be a mighty long mosey, so we’ll just stick to movies and books for right now. Let’s giddy up! Cosmic Loves Movies: … Continue reading Friday Floof
ADHD Wednesdays: Now Premiering on Thursday!
Hello and happy still technically Wednesday! Yes, this will officially publish on Thursday, and I could probably edit the publish time to make it look like I actually stuck to my intended MWF schedule properly, but I’ll let you see the back of the set. It’s a mess back here. Maybe I need to acknowledge … Continue reading ADHD Wednesdays: Now Premiering on Thursday!
Timeblindness
To describe timeblindness to someone without ADHD feels like making a shit ton of excuses. I think I'm painting a picture of a person who tries their very best to stay in the present moment and participate in life, but to the audience I've just lobbed a shitbomb of laziness at a canvas, farted in … Continue reading Timeblindness
