At the beginning of the year, I had the spontaneous thought that it would be fun to actually use this account, and, you know, chat with friends and stuff. I even logged on, made sure I had actually friended my friends (sheesh), created a shortcut on my phone so I could check my friends page from there or reply to comments or whatever, and I was going to do a write-up on the book ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mereflair got me for Christmas (Red, White & Royal Blue) [I just had to look up the html for a link because it's been THAT LONG since I used html], and then I just....didn't. Anything.
I've been spending way too much time browsing Reddit, which I don't love because I almost never actually post or comment there. It's 100% passive, and lately I've really been missing the community of LJ, or even tumblr. So maybe if I actually start, it'll become a habit and I'll actually use this thing...?
Just so this post isn't about absolutely nothing, my other hobby(?) lately is adding to the list of potential things I want to buy if congress ever gets its shirt together and passes a stimulus bill. One of my vague almost-resolutions* this year is to buy more from small businesses, and today I discovered Burlap and Barrel. The spices look awesome, but I wondered if they would be wasted on me because I don't know enough dishes to use them in, and then I realized they have a section of recipes to use the spices in (and some of the recipes look SUPER yummy). So...another thing added to my list. (The list totals more than $1400, but I'm hoping that it will keep me from impulse-buying a bunch of stuff I don't really want or need.)
*"vague almost-resolutions" because I'm feeling the need to be less ambitious after 2020 laughed in the face of my 20 goals for 2020.
