delgaso, like, if i want to be more active, then i have to post, right?
the migration of people to tumblr meant that in general i forgot how to do this. i feel a little awkward and ungainly. it's been coming up a lot recently as i try to pimp myself out for flatshares in london. that whole experience has been stressful, in part because i don't really want to share with strangers, and in part because i've never excelled at unironic self-promotion. one of the questions i've been asking myself is: how did i end up with so many online friends, and not a single one in my neck of the woods? i love my pocket friends dearly, but guys, why so many of you so dang far away?
this week i've ended up secluded in the house for more days than anticipated. i'm working from home, but also, you know, catching up with critical role and looking at my c.v. with a vague air of contemplation. do i actually want to change jobs? (no.) do i need to? (i... don't know. how does someone negotiate their salary without leaving their job?) (that's rhetorical.)
it's been over a decade since i started my eljay, and it looks like the most pressing question continues to be: what am i doing with my life oh my god.

off to make some friends. i guess. ??

(oh gosh i can't remember any of my own tags.)
