The leave of absence
It's been far, far too long since I've updated my journal. I disappeared from the online world, basically, and I apologize to everyone on my friends' list that I haven't been around to comment. I sort of disappeared from the world in general for a while, but I'm kinda skirting around the edge of it again. I've started taking an interest in things again.
As far as the personal goes, I've had to start making more active attempts to improve my life, and my health, which deteriorated a bit due to my general misery/black hole I've been in for a long time now. The job situation is a temporary thing because there's an actual high chance of something very awesome coming my way in the future. My boyfriend and I are now taking steps to ease my living situation as well and the future looks a bit brighter.
And a trip to Universal Studios is in the cards around New Years, and I'm really, really excited about that.
I'm the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding this summer. First wedding I'll have been to since I was around twelve years old. My dress is black. She's going with a white, dark purple and black theme.
I'm still watching Vampire Diaries consistently, but I've grown to have a love/hate relationship with the show. I've not forgiven them for killing Alaric and dragging the love triangle out until I'm sick of it, and this sire thing leaves me cold......but I'm still sticking around. I'm still invested in some capacity, even when I sometimes can't figure out why.
I've fallen head over heels for Once Upon a Time. I've been watching since the premiere of season two after missing some episodes in season one and purchasing the DVD and catching up. Regina is my favorite character. In spite of all the horrible things she's done, I just feel for her, and I think it's all Lana Parilla's acting. She's just so damn fabulous. It's been a while since an actress has left that impresson on me, but I love her. I also like Rumpel, Snow, Belle (even though I think they've misused her this season), Emma and Neal. Not sold on Hook.
I've also been rereading Harry Potter, and I just recently watched all of the movies with the BF, who insisted for a long time he wouldn't like it (he did). I wish I could get him to read the books because I think he would like them even more, but he's not much of a reader when it comes to a long book series. We have so much in common with our interests (shows and movies and games), but I'm the reader/writer for sure. We have been playing the Lego Harry Potter games together on the weekends. They're so fun!
