Fuzzyred's Marvelous Reading Nook

J curls up in a tight ball on the couch, wearing her fuzzy robe and one of the weighted blankets. "Sisters are so frustrating. She's so picky and tempermental and I hate planning things, I don't llike being a maid of honor and my emotional ccoping skills are near zero so trying to talk to her without starting a fight or crying is really hard. I'm just gonna stay here and pretend I don't have to plan anything, kay?" Maybe after a while J will feel up to getting up and making a hot chocolate, but for now, she's just gonna lay here and try to stop crying.

Sooo impatient. I have bought a chaise chair, a flat one with a side and back rest, that should be perfect for all kinds of lounging and will go in my upstairs room, which I plan on making my very own real fuzzy nook!

*flops down in her virtual nook and grabs the cuddly pillows to lie on the couch. J has left a trail of cookies and soft fuzzy things from ysabetwordsmith´s cuddle party to her nook, in hopes of bring new friends with her for more cuddles and company.*

"Hugs and fuzzies please? All beings welcome, new and old."

Priming and painting my new house. The end result will be worth it but the process sucks. And complicated emotional relationships to deal with on top of that. I just need a break from life and responsibilities for a while. Apparently I like posting unhappy things, sorry guys.

So, this post is sort of based on the introductions and surveys that mirrorofsmoke did on their journal. I just wanted to give some information about myself, since we are all friends here. :)

The Basics
I'm female, youngish, slender with light brown hair that reaches mid-back and greenish hazel eyes.
My favourite colour was red for a long time but now I find I prefer green, though earth tones are very comforting.
I love reading, I like to bike and rollerblade, I find science and math interesting and I just got a personal trainer at the gym.

More About Me
As far as I know, I am neurotypical, though I tend to think I'm nuts sometimes :p I get anxious sometimes and I have a hard time letting things go. Things that seem inconsequential to most people will sometimes stay in my brain a lot longer than intended and I'll obsess over them, even if there was no hidden meaning to what the other person said.
I tend to fidget a lot, sitting still is hard for me, especially when I'm bored, which tends to happen easily. I actually had a co-worker ask me if I'd ever been tested for ADHD, which I have not. To my knowledge, I'm just quirky, I don't feel like I need meds.
I also tend to find social cues confusing. It seems like everyone else has such an easy time determining when someone is joking, or how to joke back, and I always feel very lost. I tend to be awkward in my interactions with people, though I find it's not quite as bad online. (I do still worry that I come across as juvenile, weird or unintelligent though.)

I like to colour, though I wish the "adult" books didn't have so many tiny spaces. I also tend to get excited over pretty things or fluffy things (like bunnies or really anything fuzzy). I had someone ask me if I was a Little (which caused my "distressed" post earlier this month) but I don't think I am. I don't feel like I have separate parts of me or a specific head space where I want to be younger than I am, it's just all part of me and sometimes I'm more excitable, the same way sometimes I am sad. (Not gonna lie though, if you told me I could have something like in ysabetwordsmith's Love is for Children series, I'd totally go for that. Somewhere to just relax and be able to play without any expectations or labels.) I don't want to be younger, I just want to chill sometimes and being called "childish" because I'm not like every other adult sucks.

This next bit is more personal, and possibly PG13+ in nature, so you can skip this part if you want to.

Childhood stuff

My parents divorced when I was 4 years old. I grew up with my mom and saw my dad most weekends. I have a younger sister. We get along much better now but the teenage years were difficult for us, I think mainly due to the fact that we are very different people and she has never had a great grasp on her temper or feelings.

And that's it for my long giant post about my life. Feel free to leave comments if you have any questions, I like getting to know people better. :)

I missed the cuddle party! I'm very sad about this as I've come to like them a lot. I guess two weeks isn't so long to wait for the next one, and in the mean time, I will simply hang out in my own fuzzy nook. It is more lonely but still nice and soft and maybe I will get visitors soon.

*Snuggles on the couch with a blanket and settles in for a nap.*

J, in her fuzzy red bathrobe, flops down on the floor in the middle of her reading nook. The carpet is thick, soft and cream coloured, while the walls are a yellow bronze colour. In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.

"Man am I glad work is done," J sighs as she curls up with a blanket and a book on the floor. "I wonder if any one will come and visit me today."
