It's the spring equinox, but it is really cold this evening. I just hate it when my hands are cold!
I usually post photos of my crafty stuff on my pinterest page. (It's easier than instgram) So here it is... https://www.pinterest.co.uk/deadwintersnight1/ I've not taken photos of my latest projects yet though and havn't had time to do anything on the craft site here yet.
Been getting some sewing done over the past few days because it's too windy to do anything. (Need to be able to put things outside to clean, otherwise things are just in the way.) It hasn't really 'cost' anything because it's mostly scraps and cut offs from other projects I had lying around. I don't think I'll be able to buy any new supplies for a while because of this virus.
So, the Spring Festival has started in LOTRO. I'm reminded of why I dislike festivals. (Mostly because of there being way too many players everywhere, 'horse' pants and people crowding around things.

No. It's a computer game. https://signup.lotro.com/lotro.php?ftui=LOTROWeathertopHCVideo&cl=75&hf=1&abrs=887_1584709980&interstitial=true

Spent the day sorting my books out and dusting ornaments. Quite exuasting, but I think my joints and muscles are loosening up now as they aren't as painful. I'm looking forward to sorting the flat out properly now that it's warming up.

Just logged into my old tumblr account and I'm reminded of why I stopped using the site. Slow as....

That site was so addicting and not not a good time for me. ^^;;; I loved the format, loved what I learned, made some friends, but oooof, it was so hivemind-y and toxic.

I never actually interacted with anyone on there that much, but I remembered submitting a profile or two to a site that was supposed to be an index for middle-earth rpers and never got a response from the admins. Most of the time I didn't get any followers either. It suited me in some ways because I like the flexibilty it has over facebook when it comes to layout design and such.

Also, it would have been better than twitter for rp because you could create multiple tumblrs for your characters, and I did use it as a placeholder for my characters on twitter because I could put more information on those pages. But I have heard bad stories about 'trendy lefties' (folks who pile on and bully people who oppose their stance on politics, etc, while they claim to be socialists or feminists.

But last night, I was mainly annoyed with it because I had trouble logging in and it was slow to load.

Aaaah, yeah, the weird soapboxing and call-outs and no room for mistakes or growth, you can make multiple twitters! But hard. gmail e-mails let you do yourname+whatever@gmail.com and it counts as different e-mails! But when they ask for phone numbers and you have to break up long replies

it’s a bit of a pain! Plus, twitter is very, very, very... cracky, thirsty, bizarrely depraved (I kept getting explicit l*li and sh*ta and f*ta and oversexualized Pokemon creatures themselves even).

I think rpers on twitter are more relaxed, usually, and not too big on writing, so you get a lot of folks who don’t put effort into writing or even characterization and just say crass stuff and tweet memes. Bizarre. livejournal/dreamwidth was best for overall quality and structure (and folks stick to canon, not straying as much as tumblr).
Almost finished Lyndheid's profile. Just got to do a little bit about how she comes to Erebor.

Having a quiet Saturday morning writing. I think I might stop it there for now.
