I lost my father a year ago and basically quit functioning because of the sudden loss on top of my already severe depression.
Shout-out to Joe: I owe a lot to one person. He was just a friend of a friend and he barely knew me. He thought I was kind of an airhead and, well, not very deep. (I'm actually very shy and that's usually how people see me until they get to know me.) Our mutual friend was trying to help with the mountain of things that had to be done after my dad passed, but she lived 3 hours away. That didn't stop her from coming to help for several weekends. One day she was coming back from a bunch of family stuff and stopped at his house on the way to helping me. He saw that she was exhausted and offered to help me in her place. When he came over to help, he realized just how desperate my situation was and has been giving up at least half of his free time ever since. I really don't know what I would have done without him. And we've become very close friends. Thanks, Joe.
Okay. So, anyway, I've been feeling better lately and decided it was time to return to my journal.
I'm going to try a complete overhaul. The purpose of my journal has mainly been to keep track of my favorite fics for myself and if anyone stumbles on it and finds new stuff to read, that's a bonus. I've been finding it more difficult than I like to find specific fics. I really like the format used by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
j2_recs so I'm going to try something similar. I plan to format new posts like that, and add fics that I've already posted in as I get to them. When I have a new fic I want to add, I'll add it to the categories I've already posted instead of making a new single post.
Unlikej2_recs, I'm going to keep the odds and ends posts, and perhaps continue to make odds and ends posts. Also, this will be multi-fandom, though Supernatural is still my obsession.
Speaking of j2_recs, I totally caved and dove right into RPS, mainly J2. I'll add that to my categories.
