It seems like everyone had a good time at Conflikt! Mostly, anyway! That's awesome.
I can't believe I was at last years conflikt...it sees like an eternity ago, it seems like a different life.
The last year has totally flown by, but conflikt feels like a different life altogether.
And did I hear that this one was conflikt 6?! How is that possible? It feels like we just invented conflikt, how can there already have been SIX of it?!
Athrylis and I have been so far out of the filk happenings for so long...it makes me sad.
And whenever we try to do ash production things recently...it always seems to be next-to-impossible to coordinate. We were doing these (pretty cool) Christmas Song covers on youtube at the beginning of december, but then athrylis became bogged down with school/sickness/etc and couldn't keep making them, and it was pretty difficult to get them done on time with our schedules, anyway.
That's been the hardest thing, I think. Our schedules. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't PERFECTLY HORRIBLE.
Most days I can manage to get online after I get home, and get online by about 5 pm.
That's MIDNIGHT Athrylis' time. Best case scenario, I'm online by 11:30 pm her time, and that's still pretty late to start hanging out, especially when she's in college, trying to get her work done, and living with her boyfriend, and has all sorts of things to be doing that don't involve talking to me.
And of course it also sucks because it means if I really want to catch athrylis, I pretty much HAVE to get online as soon as I get home, even though this could be one of the more productive times of day before I totally lose all my momentum...but if I want to go out somewhere, or if I want to clean, or study, or do anything that doesn't involve being online...I really can't, because I want to hang around and see if Athrylis will show up.
When I think about staying here...just embracing the fantasticness of my life and not going back to America...the distance between me and Athrylis is the number one thing that stops me from doing it. I miss having ample times and opportunities to talk to her.
Speaking of which, where is she right now? She and I are supposed to be having a chat (possibly a video chat) and I was sort of making this LJ while I waited, but now I am confused...where is she...?)
