So, I know I haven't been around a lot lately, but then a few days ago I noticed that my last journal post was dated 09/10/2006, and I was all, "TWO MONTHS??? Really? I didn't post at ALL in the month of October?" but then I realized that lj dates are in the European format, meaning my last entry was actually on October 9th, not September 10th, and I hadn't posted in 33 days, which ...is still like three and a half years in livejournal time.
Anyway, all that - (and that was one stupendously ludicrious opening run-on sentence) - to say, Hi! It's me again!
There are some reasons for my extended absence, some good, some bad, some slightly embarrassing, and they include:
~ an inspriring and challenging job that, along with a renewed focus on my REAL life keeps me from having time to dabble online most weekdays,
~ getting addicted to at least TWO new fandoms in the last month (one movie, one series) both of which I will have to confess to at some point in the future,
~ losing my internet hookup for at least three days, and at long last getting it restored to find ...
~ livejournal deciding to implode and cause massive withdrawal among online junkies across the globe.
I'll pop back in (hopefully even today) - with random little snippets of things and other updates.
But for now, I think I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and dump the "What-do-you-know-about-me?" meme on you:
