Walk to the sound of my own drum

[gwyn]

I don't know why I waste time writing meta, it never seems worth the effort, but I wrote a thing on Tumblr about Bucky and blinking and how it's yet another physical indicator of his internal thought processes in the bank vault scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If you're inclined to read that sort of thing, as Mr. Sam Wilson might say. I knew that minor in speech communication would be useful someday, too bad it's just for a Tumblr post. I always feel like I'm talking into a void, both because few people are journaling these days and nothing ever really goes anywhere on Tumblr, and yet I continue to do it.

Speaking of Sam Wilson, I hear his birthday is the 23rd. I'm writing a sam hill story (Sam/Maria), I think, in honor of that, but I'm floundering past the initial premise of him asking her out. If you have any prompts you'd be interested in, let me know. I can't promise I'll use it, but I might!

The repairs on the south wall of my house are done. It looks like a new house if you only look at that wall. So that was thousands and thousands of dollars I hadn't planned on spending. Yay. I wish so much that that was money I could have used to help people, it seems a lot of people I know are going through really rough times, and I would so much rather have spent it on them. But when it's completely rotten and falling apart, you can't keep ignoring it the way I have for the past few years.

And that's the only updating I have.

A lot of it depends on your follow list, I've found. A lot of the people I follow reblog tons of meta, so I've seen the majority of posts about Cap2 out there. But if I didn't follow probably quite a few people who don't follow me back (I know that's a hot button for people), I might not see as much. And of course, if people don't tag for meta, you might not see it.

I don't care about mutual following or anything like that, but with Tumblr I tend to miss posts even from people I follow because between the fast pace and the repeated reblogs I often forget how far back I've been on my dash previously, so I click back a bit, but not necessarily to where I was last, like I do on DW or LJ. And discussion is so hard to read and attribute that I always just scroll past posts with "conversation" because I just can't tell who said what in reaction to what.

Yeah, that's me too. And actually since they rediddled the conversation and who-said-what look now it's more confusing for me than it was. //feels super old
