Dearie me, it's been awhile since the last time I poked around on LJ.
I haven't had consistent access to the internet in well over a month.
There's no way I can sort through all of the backlog of people's entries that I've missed
I'd love to know what's been going on in your lives and how you've all been doing.
I miss you people, dammit.
I should be doing homework right now, but it's hot and humid and stuffy, and my brain is still only semi-functional after yesterday's Greco/Roman epic poetry binge.
Here's a fairly brief recap of what's been going on:
The last month of my summer was a rough one.
On July 28, a friend of mine killed himself. I didn't end up coming to Milwaukee and Renn Faire because I didn't want to miss his funeral.
I was, and still am, horribly disappointed about not getting to see my Midwest lovelies. I'm horrible at keeping in contact with people when I get busy (which I always inevitably do), but it doesn't mean I love the people I fall out of contact with any less.
I really wanted to re-cement those old bonds and have a chance to tell the ones I love that I love them in person, or at the very least give them some proof that I haven't forgotten about them and they still mean a whole hell of a lot to me.
On August 30th and 31st, I got a new tattoo on my left arm to balance myself out. It's a lovely wind-and-water themed Polynesian tribal, and I adore it.
I'm back at school now
At the moment, I'm driving myself more than a little crazy - I'm facing down a metric fuckton of work over the next ten days, and the anticipatory stress is making me a little bonkers
but overall, things seem to be going fairly well.
How are things in your corners of the world?
