So uh...hi, I'm back, after my random unexplained disappearance almost a whole year ago.
O o p s.
I am still somewhat blaming this chronic inactivity on tumblr; truth be told, I haven't really been keeping up with any of my 'social networking' sites this last year. With the exception of tumblr. And occasionally Facebook.
So yeah. Hi. How are you guys?
My FriendsPage is eerily quiet, so I have to wonder if maybee I'm not the only one who seems to have faded away from LiveJournal. But I miss it, and so I'm going to try making a point of coming back; hopefully for good [and it's about damn time, too]. I miss some of the people here as well, despite my awkward and borderline nonexistent social habits.
Anyway. A short summary of what I've been up to is in order, I guess. I'll gladly go into more detail if anyone asks, but for now I have no way of knowing if anyone is even going to read this [or care], so I'm not going to bother with much more than the basics.
•I've changed my name. I go by Liam now. However, I'm not going to bee bothered if anyone is set on continuing to call me Sam. I don't reely care either way, to bee honest.
•I have finally started my transgender assessment therapy, and hopefully, if I'm lucky, I'll bee able to start on hormone treatment in a few months. My psychologist is pretty great, too.
•I am finally 'out' to everyone as transgender. That includes some of the less...receptive members of my family. But oh well. For the most part, everyone's been pretty supportive. My grandma and my moirail most of all, but also a few of my friends.
•Mandy and I are no longer in a relationship, and haven't been for quite some time. We're still friends though, and while it's been sort of rocky/complicated at first, I think we may have finally managed to come to terms with everything and can go back to beeing super great friends like we used to bee. C:
•I am sort of...'involved' with my friend Fionn, but the situation is complicated and somewhat confusing, and neither he nor I would know how to describe it if we tried. I'm happy, though, and that's what matters.
•I have a little sister. Khloe is almost seven months old now. I'm still not sure how I feel about her. She's cute and all, but I'm already pretty detached from most of my family, and they're people I've known for twenty-one years. She hasn't even been around for one, and it probably doesn't help that I have a strong dislike for babies and children. But...she's my sister, so I don't know.
•I have beecomb somewhat obsessed with bee/nautical-themed puns, for which I apologize. Most of it is sort of subconscious anyway.
•Homestuck and Supernatural have taken over my life.
Also, just beecause. My highlight of the new year [so far]: I met Jared Padalecki. My "best friend" [whom I may or may not bee friends with at all anymore, if she doesn't get her shit together I am done] and I lurked the set of Supernatural a month or so back, when they were filming up near her house. We were there literally the entire day, and when they finished at the end of the night, Jared snuck away from their bodyguard and came to chat with us. I got an autograph and--even better--a hug. I have never been so happy to stand at a mere 5'3", than I was when my height [or lack thereof] resulted in my face getting smushed right into Jared's chest. B)
Anyway, uh, yeah. So. What has everyone been up to these days?
