Hi-sterical is right. You really ARE, you know? Here's another hysterical thing - I missed our old LJ days so damn much I came back too. Glad to see you're doing okay. I see you on FB from time to time so have been keeping a bit in the loop about you and yours. You probably realize J & I are no longer together - still trying to parse that, it still seems not real to me. Ah well.
Glad to see you. I don't watch show, but I sort of keep up with what's going on in the vaguest of terms. I miss the old days. Some of them were awesome.
I have somehow managed to hang on to the marriage, somehow. I still don't trust him any further than I can throw him, but, well, hopefully that will change. Sorry to hear about you and J, I barely get on FB anymore either... mostly because there are too many stalkery people that I want to avoid.
I've missed you! Wah! *inappropriate hugs time!*
I watched Show tonight because a friend of mine is gaga over it and has been pestering me. And somehow I just can't let it go completely. It makes me feel dirty and used, but I keep going back. Some people just can't get away... I think it's longing for the hey-day when everything was awesome.
OMG OMG OMG!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!! :D :D :D
It's been pretty rough for me this last year or so. My mom died last March-hard to believe it's almost been a year, and so terribly hard to believe it really happened, at all. A family friend paid for my plane ticket so she, her son, and I could go up to visit after, and we could all bond and grieve together; I was very thankful, because otherwise, I doubt I'd have been able to go.
I got laid off my full-time job, so I've had to fall back on my deli job. My dad & brother brought me the family spare car to use while job hunting and my dad's paying the insurance, which is great (my car broke a couple of years ago). I've received support from unexpected places, and have managed to stagger along, despite the constant rejection from damn employers who WON'T HIRE ME, DAMN THEM!
I'm sorry you've had it rough lately, too. But glad to see you around again. I was just thinking of you the other day, hoping you were well.
You were one of the people I've missed a lot. I'm sorry to hear that things have been rough and crappy for you. But it sounds like you're seeing the positive and have some good friends and family to help you through. The worst thing (other than the almost divorce) was not being able to help my mom more when she lost her house. But other than that I think I've been pretty lucky.
I'm really sorry about your mom. I don't know what I would do in your place, you have always been an incredibly strong and resilient person. I hope that after a year things aren't as rough with the grief, I know it never really goes away.
*hugs* It seems so lame, but it's the best I can do over a computer.
Some days are better than others. I know that my own issues with wobby finances, pms, depression, anxiety, and that whole kit and caboodle, add to the grief; so I can go from waking up fine, to crying in the bathroom on break, and sometimes, I'm not even sure what I'm crying about. Everything and nothing, you know?
I'm sorry your mom lost her house. That's a very unsettling thing to have happen, even if you have somewhere to go, and family and money to get you there. It feels like a failure.
But things WILL get better, for all of us! They will.
Oh, you!!!! Phaedra!!!! Sweetie!!! You're here!!! Welcome back!!! I'm not here much anymore either, but I have been on my profile quite a few times since you have been away and said, "I wonder where Phaedra is now and how she is." I remember you.
I am still happily watching Show. As far as major life developments, I've gotten a Graduate Certificate in Social Science Education since you've been away. Am looking for a job and coming up with pretty much nothing, so working part time at several schools as a sub and I'm teaching Sunday/Hebrew school for a few hours two days a week... Still knitting, crocheting and spinning like a mad knitting-crocheting-spinning thing.
Yay! It's like a party of all the good people I remember from LJ!
Congrats on the graduation! I'm sure you'll find a job, the Universe is holding out to give you the perfect one. I'm still knitting/cross-stitching/painting/sewing and I've added tea making and face scrub making to the list. It seems to multiply. Eep.
I am working on getting up on the internets thru my web page because I have a friend that makes jewelry and she refused to do etsy. We've done a couple of local shows and made enough money that we haven't given up yet. LOL
To be honest I just started knitting again. For a while I cut out doing nothing but working on the marriage. We aren't out of the woods yet, but it's no longer the only thing I can focus on.
Oh that Chris Kane! I keep forgetting to watch Leverage when it's on tv, but the hubby and I go through the dvds. I can't even pinpoint why I like him so much, when I first saw him on Angel I was certain I would hate him. Apparently I have wonky radar.

Inernet hugs are better than no hugs, so

Hang in there, sweetie. Things will look up soon, and glad that at least you have some family to count on. :)

God, I hope so! Incidentally, that seemed to be what the Tarot cards were trying to tell me a few days ago.
I'm glad to see that you're still knitting. I haven't seen you post any projects on Ravelry lately, so I wondered if maybe you had stopped knitting.
Ooohhh, tea making! That sounds fantastic! I love tea! Do you have an etsy or do you just make for yourself and friends?
