Cav's Place

Had some plans for this week’s second post, but look how that turned out, so all I have to say now is that I have decided to drop one of the three major rules I had set for this blog when I started posting regularly, namely the one stating that the number of posts in the Personal category must always be less than double the number of posts in the Society category. This is, of course, something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, seeing as it’s harder and harder to write proper posts that should be filed under Society, but the decision was actually made today, in good part also due to realizing that I’d be completely unable to write anything non-personal and therefore making this week be the first one with two personal posts in close to six months.
This decision won’t come into effect immediately, however, because I did say that I’ll try to still stick to the usual rules this year and therefore I intend to do just that and hope I’ll manage it for the next three months. Then, in January, I’ll have to get around to doing something I’ve been meaning to do for the past two years, namely remove the posts dealing with copyright issues and file-sharing from the Society category and make a separate one just for them, just like I did with those dealing with overpopulation at some point. That will quite clearly make the Society category have less than half the number of posts in the Personal category, so at least there won’t actually be a moment when by writing a certain post I’ll break this rule that I’ve been holding on to for five and a half years.

Otherwise, spent quite a few hours wandering around yesterday and the day before, but failed to do something that I actually really wanted to because it’d have required talking to people directly and I couldn’t even get myself to approach anyone, despite trying to push myself into it on both days… And now I feel so drained and exhausted that it seems hard to even breathe, even though the exhaustion isn’t necessarily physical. So I’ll leave it at this and see whether I’ll manage to do any better next week.
