Grace Notes @ Snarkattack

I have missed blogging immensely and am so sorry for neglecting my corner of the web that is only read by probably my closest friends!

My absence…

- sinus infection that turned into an ear infection. That carried on for five (still counting) months. My immune system for the lose like mega.
- my beloved near-4-year-old lappie is currently out of action. My genius (har har) is trapped within
- okay, I’ll admit it. I met this dude who is a crap spider-hunter-killer unit, but a general capital person and we spend time listening to music in my room, drinking cider and going for bike rides. It’s the teenage relationship I never had, giggle

Though I’ve not been blogging here much, I’ve been keeping a dream blog, as inspired by my mate Felix.

It’s been a really rewarding experience and helped me creatively. It’s also pretty confronting at times. Since I made an effort to record my dreams, my memory of them has increased dramatically. I’m also noticing that I go through cycles of themes – anger at particular persons, fear of failure, feeling monstrous, to name the main ones.

Not writing so much but have some good stuff (I mean for me, don’t know if it’s actually any good) on the boil. Today, I reedited a poem that was received favourably at a workshop an Australian poet ran as part of the Overload Poetry Festival in Melbourne.

It’s also looking like I’ll hit my target of reading fifty books this year.

I’ll try to get back into blogging – my mind is constantly wanting to write posts. I also miss catching up on LiveJournal – I don’t tend to use it on my folks’ computer because my time using it is limited. Le sigh.

Hope you are all well and don’t have a shitty immune system. I confess, I am dodging a blood test to see if my white blood cell count is okay.
