Jeez, this blows. My family used to make good-natured fun of my tendency to keep to myself in my room most of the time, but now that COVID-19 is going around and my state has issued a stay-at-home order for everything aside from making grocery runs and other crucial tasks, I no longer have the option to go out even if I wanted to. And for some reason, that's made staying in like I normally would a lot more... tedious? Monotonous? I'm not sure what word I'd use to describe this, but needless to say, it ain't fun. I think this has taught me that I'm actually more extroverted than I thought, given the craving for consistent human contact that I'm working up.

This has led to me sending out more messages than I think I normally would to various people I'm in contact with, since I can't go out and spend time with any of my local, IRL friends. If you're reading this and you're one of the people I've sent a lot of messages to lately, then all I can say is that I'm sorry for spamming you, and that I'm trying to find more effective ways to fill my time during this isolation period.

Ordinarily I'd occupy my free time with stuff like gaming, watching stuff on YouTube (Vsauce's Mind Field series is great, by the way), or working with other people on various collabs and projects. But with things being disrupted as they are, some friends are now unavailable at the times when they normally would be available, due to things like working at home. I hold nothing at all against them for being busy - we've all got bills to pay, after all. But good God, I'm bored out of my mind XD

Anyway, that's enough of my own rambling. If you're reading this, go ahead and leave a comment and let me know how you're doing ^^ I really do hope that COVID-19 has only minimally disrupted the flow of your lives, and that you and everyone you know are doing well despite the hardships going on. Let's hope this is all over sooner rather than later!
