I've never really blogged before in the long 12 years I've been plugged into the internets. As a young girl I received multiple lock diaries and journals as gifts or impulse buys but I never managed more than a handful of entries before I forgot about it and it ended up misplaced or gathering dust. So in an effort to change my short attention span and because I have this live journal account just sitting here, here it is, my first Blogspot, entry.
I suppose I intend to enter what I perceive as notable occurrences, thoughts, and obsessions in my life and about things I read about or watch. I like a lot of things but in a fairly small focus/genre. My current obsessions are anime, fanfiction, fantasy (such as Lord of the Rings), romance (such as period pieces like by author Jane Austen), scifi (including the channel), video/pc games, mmorpg, the worldwide web, instant messaging, message board, chat, ideas on working at home etc.
Throughout my life I have dealt with mental health issues. My depression an anxiety (specifically social anxiety) have severely affected my ability to function and survive. I find making friends difficult, maintaining a job without becoming intensely stressed, going to school without intense stress, basically any social interaction at all even family and friends has potential for stressing me out in an abnormal and exaggerated way. My solace is all my hobbies and the internet. With them I cope by blocking the negative out, though this also has had an impact on degrading aspects of my functioning.
Well, that seems enough for a first post. I do have a tendency to be verbose when I get into something. Hopefully I can focus my mind on this, at least.
