Moving right along
"here a moment, gone another" [2] raises a heck of an important point for anyone more interested in writing than misery.
I've experienced the slavery to archival many times, whether it's literally "backing up files" or maintaining all posts of a blog.

celtic cross: revamped
i don't have strong feelings about the celtic cross one way or the other. it's detailed which means it can also be tedious. i don't think it's suited for all types of questions etc. but this version seemed a fun one, so i gave it a shot. i didn't have a question, just thought i'd see what shows up and if it makes any sense (it did! what a shock for someone who abhors "general" readings! maybe it is a matter of spread. like, any layout - positional or not - can answer a question, but not everything can answer a non-question? at least for my brain, idk!)

cluttering
her hands don't wait for much these days, not even telephone calls: she skulks too slowly to merit even half the attention she used to receive. her eyes shift backwards, looking at a history in the air cordoned off from view, lit from minuscule recesses and warrens. she takes a breath that hangs heavy in the air: sighs built from volcanic ash and barely audible, sulphuric wails. a cough makes its way the edge of her parched tongue. she stifles it as much as she can, her unfiltered breaths precious and in demand. she looks deeper at the glistening corners and sees faces: her own, and those of her sisters, growing increasingly indistinct. a dry wind tickles her throat and the inside of her nostrils. keep listening, she thinks, they might hear you after all, above all this wind. three whistles blow and the faces go pale and out of focus, scattering like rats. rats, she thinks, they've eaten through my memories. the lights are no longer the memories, just phosphorescent vermin shit. a broom and dustpan tumble off the wall. they're on the loose again, going through the boxes and eating through the glue. her synapses shudder and go dim as she flicks on the lights, which clatter into a milky glow. slivers of chewed cardboard, droppings, and torn papers lead into a spiral trail into the center of the room. the only way through is out.

A Lonely Friend
I have a fairly active and healthy social life. I'm not really an extrovert, but I do know many people in my life well enough to feel comfortable inviting them to have lunch or coffee. I also have a handful of close friends who know me well enough to reach out to me proactively and with whom we can share our problems. In person I see some of these close friends weekly, some once or twice a month, and some only a few times a year, but we are all there for each other.

The Feeling of Not Fitting In
I relate a lot to this friend Rob talks about, unfortunately. I don't really have any friends, and it is hard for me to connect to others. I've went through depressive periods myself - they were the result of family problems, lack of friends, and a general anger and distrust at the world and humanity as a whole.

Deleting posts
I have a slight self-hate issue and a crippling lack of ways to say how much of an euphemism that is.
Because I'm not native english so me dont know them words.
So when I started this I told myself I would just write things and not delete anything, that I would get used to the sentiment and eventually fully ignore it.

Agis updates
I've had very little time recently to devote to programming, but there have been a few things that have received some attention in the past few months which are beginning to bear some fruit in more tangible ways. I've been focusing more on library code recently than applications. A side effect is that I'm finding that often an application that I wrote in the past might benefit from applying that library code.

The commit added support for Google's Content Warehouse API, which includes Google's 14,000+ search ranking factors. Oops! Some people noticed this after its redaction earlier this month, and the news broke on May 28.
