Hi everyone, I'm Grem and I'm totally new to mastodon. I'm demigender (she/her).

I'm predominantly an LGBT high fantasy writer, currently working towards self-publishing my first novel.

I'm also big into video gaming. I love me a good story-driven RPG.

I have a very antisocial cat named Morrigan, and nothing cheers me up like a good cup of tea. :)

Does anyone else immediately double the amount of garlic in any recipe I'm reading or is that just me

maximum comfort levels achieved

cat: *is licking masking tape*
me: why though
cat: *stares at me for ten seconds and then goes back to licking the masking tape*

I blew out a candle and managed to get wax on everything, I'm not even sure how.

But seriously, it got everything. Every single thing.

This morning was so rushed that I got halfway to the supermarket before somebody pointed out to me that I still had a biro in my ponytail

Today on Adulting: I went downstairs to make dinner and baked cookies instead. But there's whiskey in the icing, so they're grownup cookies. So it counts?

I also planned out an entire new Side Project instead of working on the Main Project, but writing is writing so I'm counting that too.

My cat, but upside-down

I'm not sure that 'off the sofa' is a realistic goal for today. Day for lots of tea and faffing about with side projects I think. I got a new notebook for Christmas so #amwriting super neatly for two pages before it descends back into illegible scrawling.

Had the obligatory 'boomer vs millenial' fight with my dad while drunk at 1am which i s entirely my own fault for being awake and drunk at 1am. Will leave out the details.

Thankfully (?) an unshakable cornerstone of my relationship with my dad is our ability to have the same argument EVERY TIME and then pretend it didn't happen in the morning. Because I'm here for another night and it would be awkwaaaaaard

Visiting family is not good for my mental health. Like, at all. Specific parts of Xmas with specific members of family are great. Other bits are difficult. Rreeeaaaallly difficult.

Christmas with my cat is mostly just people taking it in turns to say "Morrigan, don't eat that!" and try to get to her before she manages to swallow an entire Christmas cracker

So after a very crappy experience this morning (was not just crappy due to ableism but that was a big part of it) I would like to remind everybody that assuming somebody you're interacting with can do everything you can do as easily as you can do it is ableist, and please don't.
