Thinking overload

[mugglechump]

Did you ever have one of those days where your brain just can't seem to settle down? All day long my mind has been flitting around from one thing to another. Work, relationships, religion, music, loneliness, family, icons, desires, commitments, responsibilities, money, travel, wishes, hobbies, politics, and on and on and on. It's exhausting. I can't seem to concentrate, and I'm restless to go home (even though it's only lunchtime).

Maybe later I'll edit this and share some of my mental ramblings. Maybe, even if it is mostly just so I can get it OUT of my head. I'll do it under an LJ cut, because I doubt most of it will be very interesting to anyone other than me.

My co-worker has offered to buy if I fly, so I guess I'll go grab some lunch now. Maybe I'll grab some Starbucks while I'm out. A mocha frappachino (sp?) sounds awfully yummy.

I made this Ron/Hr icon awhile ago. I still like it. I'm especially proud of the lettering on the ship.

My mind is always like that. Especially when I'm at work and would rather be anywhere else. ;) It's frustrating, I know. Just about the only thing that calms me down is a really good book. Which, sadly, you can't take into work. Coffee, especially extra sweetened concoctions from Starbucks, will often work as a subsitute, though.

No Starbucks at home. I miss it. Sigh.

Lovely icon!

Yes, Starbucks is a balm for many things. I didn't get my mocha frap yesterday, but I did this morning. I was quite contented by it.

I completely understand thinking overloads! *sighs* But wait...

What.is.this?!?!?!?


Well, I know what it is, but where did it come from? And.. and.. why haven't I seen it before? And why is it so amazing?

I made it recently from the DV art for Ch 17 part 1. It took me forever to fit the passage in the window properly. Thank you for thinking it's amazing! (Although my part only included cropping and typing. The awesome art is someone else's doing entirely. At the moment, I forget who that someone is. I'll have to look it up and give them credit, too. /rambling) Feel free to use, if you like.

I appreciate the overload empathy! Some days I just can't seem to find my own 'off' switch.

Ooh, that one's nice, too! I love the grasses.

Most days, I don't want to find my 'off' switch. I just so passionately adore thinking about things, I let everything fill me up. It's just when I have too much work that life begins to be crazy. I'm trying to think my thoughts and the thoughts everyone else thinks I should be thinking, and it's madness.

Life would be so much better if we could spend our time doing what we want to, rather than what we need to. Having work (or school) interfere with our time to just think about things is really very inconvenient.

It really is! I guess that's why society has made available so many career opportunities and other activities for our enjoyment.. that, and thinking. But I think we create that for ourselves. Still, we have to be happy some of the time, or culture wouldn't function. Right?
