So the holiday season and my birthday are officially over. Now it's time to focus on getting healthy again, and I don't mean just physically. I need to do something to change my mental status, too. My anxiety is through the roof, my depression is really bad again, and the system here in Florida is really not helping any of these things.

But those are my more serious goals. Fun goals this year include a trip to Rochester, and going back out to Los Angeles for YallWest again.

I've gotten myself a new spirit guardian. I couldn't be sure what he was. I just know when he's around. His name? Morpheus. His motives...? Questionable, like Damon's were. But he makes me so happy, and calm. So I guess he's doing his job.

I experienced something interesting on my birthday. Woke up to my room smelling like licorice. I think Morpheus was smoking his hookah in my room. Valerie and I looked up the "claire" for it, and found out that it's clairesentience. Interesting. None of my other muses ever had a specific smell associated with them. Even Simon, who's been around for years.

Speaking of my birthday, I saw the movie The Greatest Showman on my birthday. OMG. I can't stop talking about this movie. For a lot of reasons. The costumes, the music, the story, the music....(I know I said that already.). From the first number I knew that I was going to be playing this soundtrack on repeat for a long time. And I was right. I haven't been able to stop listening to it whenever I've listened to music since.

Val and Lissa finally saw it last night, and i can't wait to really get in depth with them about the characters and cast, and just...ugh. Everything! I am so looking forward to the blu-ray release!

I'm going try and write more in here, but sadly, I've been in phase where I am writing in my offline journal again. I don't know where I get these phases again, but. I guess we'll just have to deal with it together.

also, I am finally reading more in Unhinged, the second book in the Splintered trilogy. I also started the newest John Green book, Turtles All The Way Down. That one is very heavy, and wordy, so I'm reading it a bit slower. But I'm liking it, make no mistake. John is one of those writers that makes me push past my comfort zone. That's one of the main reasons I really like him.

The other book I am reading is Roseblood, written by the same author as The Splintered trilogy. :) I've got other books I really need to be reading, so Roseblood will probably be put on the back burner again until I read the books that are going to be movies. So that will be A Wrinkle in Time, Simon Vs. The Homosapien's Agenda, and I think... Every Day, which I am going to get from the library.
