The last year and a half has been tough.  Pregnancy-induced anemia, baby #2 and the whole newborn and prolonged sleep deprivation hullabaloo, an Autism diagnosis for kid #1, a new house, moving into the new house, all on top of regular life and adjusting to having two kids under the age of 3 running around.  During that time free time was a rare

I can't wait to read your thoughts. Your meta on Supernatural has inspired me for years--every little thing, just about, has been utilized in the vids I make. I hope you get enough rest and can share more of your color-coded, meta brain with us. Maybe I'll be re-inspired!

I'm just salivating.

[bowtrunckle]

Wow, as a HUGE fan of your vids (I'm sure you can tell as I've rec'ed practically all of them), that's a huge compliment. Thank you. :)

Maybe I'll be re-inspired!

In the past, I've always found that the more active my flist is generally the more inspired I feel. It feels like fandom, too, is all about generating momentum. I'd love to see another SPN vid posted at your journal.

Hey, it's good to see you checking in. You've been through the mill a bit lately, so it's good to hear you feel you are finding your way through that jungle and back to yourself again.

Happy 2013 :)

Thanks. It does sort of feel like I took a hiatus from myself. Here's to more fannish indulgences in the near future!

Hey there and welcome back. :) There is really no need to apologise. Real life put you through the wringer, so it's just natural that fandom activities took a backseat for a while. I am just thrilled that life seems to give you a breather, so you can do something for yourself again. *hugs*

Hi! *breathes* You don't know how much I've always intended to read your episode reviews bec. I really enjoyed them and they're always so thoughtful, but, argh, one of the casualties of RL bleeding into LJ life. :(

hey bowtrunckle -- it is great to hear from you. Come on out when you have time to play! :D

It is hard to put into words how much time and energy babies will soak up. When my youngster was a baby I felt sometimes like he would drain me completely dry. It gets better as they get a little older I think! I hope things are going well with your older child.

When my youngster was a baby I felt sometimes like he would drain me completely dry.

I was jokingly saying in a serious way that I feel like having kids has taken 10 years off my life expectancy (and they're only 1 and 3). Arrrggghhhh...

It gets better as they get a little older

Preschool. Preschool. Preschool. And someday I'd like to go back to work and think about things other than grocery shopping and laundry. :)

Actually, I was thinking about you and your PhD when I was writing the SPN/Gothic Literature meta. How would you feel about bending your brain a little and taking a look at what I have (when it's in a more organized form) and telling me it's ridiculous weighing in? Only if you have time, of course.

I'd love to beta some meta. :D I just completed a beta project so I could do it before long. :)

Good to be hearing from you again. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

It's good to be heard from again. :) Thanks for stopping by!
