How can I put into words what Nox meant to me ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've done a substantive life-update in long-form. As more and more people move from LJ, it's been harder to keep in the habit of writing. In short, things are pretty good.

Work: It's the busy season. I've been working up a storm. The Halloween update just went live last Friday, which is terrible timing (nobody checks the ( Read more... )

Wow, so... "new livejournal." It's pretty Tumblr-esque. I'll have to see if it grows on me ( Read more... )
