10 weeks since my last post? Are you kidding me?
I was first thinking of putting up a stupid questionnaire, rather than make a real post, but reading through some of the questions, I know that if I were to post the most truthful answers that I could, people would get hurt and that's why I haven't posted on this in so long (set aside the fact that I have no time to post anyway).
Even simple, menial updates about my life would probably be a source of angst for some, and cause me grief because I feel I can no longer share just the simplest things without being judged, criticized, or bothered. This makes me quite sad.
To compensate for this, however, I have found in the past couple of months that I have kept tabs on friends much more closely than I have in the past eight years. I am calling people and spending time with people and getting close to those I've lost contact with, talking and sharing... I had no idea how much I really missed this kind of interaction. Apparently, I thrive on it.
Granted, the main downfall here is that I indirectly increase my stress levels when I choose to spend time with friends rather than getting work done and being generally productive. Ah well. I'm a lot happier in a lot of ways. In others... well, suffice it to say that I haven't posted here in 2.5 months. To me, at least, that speaks volumes.
I would love to lock this post and add tons more information, but I really don't think that would do much good. Holding an open forum would be more communicative, I think.

James, if your eyes happen to wander across this page, it would be really nice to hang out with you for a bit and catch up. Otherwise, I wish you happy holidays and a late happy anniversary to you and your honey.
