*Arrives 20 minutes late with a Starbucks – which upon closer examination you realize is a white cup with the logo crudely drawn on and contains coffee my Dad made (straight black and strong)*
… Hello strange people from the void! I am back and half-way active! Solely because I. Finally. Graduated. College! (in December)
… AND I HAVE A JOB! (started a couple months ago, became full time like a week? two? ago.)
Anyways, I went through a sPeLl that affected my writing (this whole journey has drained me a lot – adulting stinks) but I’m on the up-and-up now.
I’m writing fanfiction because it’s less stressful than original work (at the moment), humbles me (which I need – but seriously, I’ve erased and rewritten this sentence so many times because I do NOT want to be judged and pride really, really sucks right now why do people think pride makes them feel good?!), and because I read somewhere that you need to write three novels before you can write one of a publishable quality (I don’t want to kill any more ideas I have, I’m SUUUUPER attached to them – which is a different problem).
I’ve also been trying to spend more time with my family… Uh, @this-is-not-an-alien, @ragnarok, @rusted-knight have I been succeeding?
Anyway that’s me.
Hope ya’ll are having a good day!

Darn – I missed a lot here huh?
