So, I haven't been on the internet for a while.
Technically that's not true. I've been on the internet a lot. But mostly just reading, or screwing around on G+ or buzzfeed on my phone, or netflixing or playing games. Most of my reading has been through AO3 subscriptions or my pinboard. Today was the first time in weeks that I so much as touched dreamwidth or livejournal, which is the first in years, not counting vacations. It's just... weird. I'm glad I'm back, I guess, after a while the main reason you don't get online is so that you don't have to face catching up online, but I had several days off in a row and decided to just go for it today. I basically capped out at "an hour" or "when my attention span failed" for each dw and lj, whichever happened first, so there's probably huge amounts of stuff I will never get caught up on, which I am okay with. I've been pretty busy with my offline life, which is a nice change.
I can't remember if I ever told the internets that I'd finally gotten together with the guy I'd been not!dating for a long time last winter? Because I did. It's pretty awesome. We're almost at the six-month mark, and we'd been basically dating for months before then, and best friends for about the same time. We spend basically all our time together, with maybe one day a week we're not sleeping over at each other's places. We already decided that barring unforseen circumstances, he's going to move in to my place when his lease is up next April. The thing that makes me think this is not a terrible idea is that a non-trivial amount of time together on shared days off is spent gaming/reading/watching tv in separate rooms. Also I have a house big enough for us both to have our own office space, as well as an entertainment room. We should be fine.
So anyway, internet, I have been away because I've been basically "in the bubble" with my partner, and that's been pretty awesome so I'm deciding not to regret it. I'm back now, though. I may even be getting some writing done, once I get my thesis prospectus done in a couple of weeks. Grad school is weird.
