i've got a little list

[pensnest]

I thought I would just post the list of topics I've compiled for myself, and offer them to anyone who cares to pick one or two—or twenty—off the list to write about. I do mean to post more to DW than I have been managing, and this is intended to help me. Perhaps it will prompt you, too.

Pen's Mad March Listicle

Hats. Yea?
Cake
How do you sleep?
Have you watched a film or TV show recently that you love in a completely non-fannish way?
Quirks of language
Most hated household chore: go!
What are you doing about climate change?
Comfort Food
Going for a walk
As an introduction, post links to up to five of your own journal posts which will give newcomers a good idea of who you are!
Do you have, or have you ever had, an imaginary pet?
Something you love which is not a fannish occupation
Your three (or some other number) favourite people in the world are coming for a meal with you. What do you give them to eat?
Have you discovered a hitherto unfamiliar fanfic writer lately? Say on!
What is the nearest object to your left, right now? Tell us about it!
What is the last film you watched? Was it any good?
Weddings
A meal you cooked recently that you were particularly pleased with
A Little Light Bitchery—what do you want to bitch about? Have a go!
If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you want?
A flower, a tree, or some other plant, that brings you joy
A little language snobbery - have a vent about the things people get wrong with the language. Like, your when they mean you're, or disinterested when they mean uninterested. Or whatever. Let 'er rip.
Cats, amirite?


The answer is, alas, very erratically. Last night I was awake until, oh, half past four in the morning, which meant that in town this afternoon I was very much nodding off, and Beast had to drive us home because I didn't trust myself. It gets that way, sometimes. I'll just lie there, occasionally struggling to find a slightly less uncomfortable position, and unable to turn off my brain. Having an arthritic hip and a dodgy shoulder, on opposite sides of my body, means it is very awkward to achieve a good sleeping position. I'm used to curling up on my left, and flat on my back is still weird, but less uncomfortable than other options.

Lying in the dark while my Beast—who is asleep within ten seconds of deciding to be so—slumbers peacefully beside me, is just so annoying. He is warm, though, so there's that.

cool list! I rarely have trouble finding stuff to babble about, but thanks for the prompts - I'm going to try to incorporate some of these in my posts over the next few weeks

You have all my sympathy, insomnia is awful! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't sleep on my side. If I ever get to the same point as you I would have to learn to sleep on my stomach because it's already impossible for me to sleep on my back.
