A chill take on December Days?

I know I haven't been updating a lot lately; on the one hand, I feel like I have nothing to say, and on the other hand, I feel like I have many jumbled things to say about a couple of very specific things, but nothing on anything less intense. (I... am working on getting the second part out, we'll see.) And in general, I've been feeling kind of distant and isolated lately. Part of this is depression brain, and part of it is that it's very hard for me to stop isolating myself, because I'm not great at the talking thing.

So, uh, I'm gonna do this and hope it helps. I'm not doing a post-a-day December, but I'm wondering if it might be easier to ramble if I have some kind of jumping off point, so: Give me topics to post on in the next month or two, and I will ramble/discuss/talk?

Not gonna pick dates, just gonna go for it when I have the brain to talk. Ask about whatever -- real life, media/fannish stuff, creativity, I don't know, whatever you can think of -- and I will do my best to respond.

I will also take requests for pictures of things if you'd rather do that, or want to do that also. Taking pictures of my life is still a habit I'm trying to tell myself it's okay to get into and prompting helps. (I take pictures of my cats now when they're being cute and that's about it.)
