It's been forever.

I'm still alive, and in a different place than the one I was in the last time I posted here... Both emotionally and geographically. I might start updating again; at least a couple more to give a better idea of what's been going on in my life recently, and what happened back then, and how it all ended. Not that there's many people left on my 'friend of' list to read it. :P It's been roughly three years though. I don't blame anyone.

I'll probably un-private some older entries too, even if they are embarrassing and/or sad.

So Jon and I have moved, we're living in Redmond now. I actually like this place. ^_^

I wanted to go to the NERO Event this weekend... You have no idea how much... But I have to be responsible and clean, unpack, etc. Yech. Oh well. It just gives me more time to make Melina's costume perfect before my triumphant return. I still need new shoes. Not to mention new horns, clothes, and a set of Pan Pipes I've had my eye on. I have no idea when the next Seattle event will be, but at least I've got time.

Not much to say. Well, a lot to say, but it would be a pain to try to type out everything I've been thinking, feeling, and doing over the who-knows-how-long since I last posted.

I'm alive, I'm well enough, and I just thought you should know.

P.S. Sorry I haven't been on messengers. >_>

So Jon and I are back, and we didn't get eaten by bears. The only animal we really encountered was a very stupid mole. I never realized they were cute.

Speaking of rodents, I think my hamster is sick. :(

Other than that everything is fine. I'm tired, and it's too warm in here. I woke up this morning because I bit the side of my tongue, only to hit my head when I sat up. x_x Not the best way to start the day.

Jon's off at work now, but his birthday is Wednesday. I already ordered his present online, but I don't think it will get here in time.

Much love to you all. Thanks for the birthday wishes, timely and belated. ^_^

Today I turn 22. Well, technically around 10 pm, but still. I'm going to get my haircut, run some errands. Most of my friends are at work so there's not much to do. I might be able to get a hold of Erin and Sarah if I'm lucky.

Tomorrow Jon and I are going camping, so I guess that's cool. I haven't gone camping since I was a kid, unless you count NERO. I've gotten very domesticated.

So. What's new?

Our storage unit got broken into. The weird thing is, they cut the lock rather than the little wire holding the second door shut. o_O With a saw! Nothing was taken as far as we can tell, for which I am grateful. When Jon first told me about it I thought I was going to have a panic attack. I couldn't even go in with him when he went to look at the damage. They didn't even take our little TV. Everything was in order, though the fan had been moved.

I got to visit with Crystal and Eric last weekend, AND see Cassandra. I played an RPG I haven't before and generally had a good time. Even if I had to sleep on the floor and my elbows got rugburn. x_x I love their cat, but I wish the wicked creature hadn't pissed all over the coushin I usually crash on.

As for my general wellbeing, I've been better. Stressed, ill, depressed, lonely. It's old news but still problematic. I'm surviving though. The random, if still infrequent, contact with friends over the last couple of months has helped. I really should get on messengers more.

I've noticed people react really strangely when I compliment them, both online and in person. People I don't know very well, I mean. It's like it's completely normal for a stranger to be rude or insulting, but it weirds them out big time if someone says something nice.

I've gotten a couple of grateful smiles but for the most part people react with confusion or surprise. Once someone even scowled at me. I can't remember what it was exactly I said to them but I know it wasn't anything potentially offensive like 'nice ass'. Their reaction bugged me but Jon said I should just ignore it.

I bring this up because I was disagreeing with someone on a flame war thread, but I had liked other posts he had made and thought he seemed like a nice guy. So, I told him so, then proceeded to state why I thought they were wrong in this case. He PM'd me bewildered about how I could say I liked him when I'd never met him in person. It's funny, because I know that he didn't PM the people insulting him to ask how they could say they hated him.

Jon and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 17th.

We bought a dwarf dalmation hamster we named Magni.

We have the Burning Crusade expansion for WoW.

That is all. :P

There's thunder, and it's snowing.

Yeah. Pretty weird.

Nothing else to say, except that I've been sick and antisocial. :P

Hope you all had a happy turkey day.

So, I'm going to be without internet for a bit longer than expected, but should have it by Halloween. Bleah.

Hope you're all doing okay.

I'm fine. Bored, a little lonely, and coming down with a cold, but otherwise well enough. Feel free to drop me an e-mail. I'll respond either the next time I'm at the library or whenever I have regular access again.

So. As of Thursday, I won't have internet access again for a little bit, since Jon and I are moving. Then in another month we'll move again. -_-

Anyway. Just a heads up.
