I'm still here. Mostly for research-y type things, but I also have a DW account and email, if you'd like to keep in touch. Let me know and I'll PM them both to you. Happy New Year!

Oh hey, is a Momo!

Feel free to just ninja-friend me on DW, same username here and there. I carried over my stuff on FDD so I can continue adding to it whenever I get back to writing.

Man, what a year. Hoping 2017 goes way better.

Yeah, this past year has been...let's not go there. Lots of personal heart/headaches that I'll be glad to put behind me. Do you have links to your DW stuff? I tried Googling it and it didn't come up. =/ I'll friend you there too for sure.

New journal is located here:

Going through my profile there will give you the new homes of my communities. :)

At least DW isn't too different, so it's easier to work with.

I don't see you online much anymore. Do you still have AIM? Drop me a line sometime. ♥

I haven't been on as much thanks to having a billion things going on at once, but I'm still on once in awhile. I mostly work nights these days, so it's crap. I do still have AIM, and I'll drop in to say hi as soon as I'm able. I hope you've been doing well?

Oh man, night shifts are brutal. What sort of job, if you don't mind me asking?

Boy, do I know the "million things going on at once" feeling all too well. My oldest-bro and sis-in-law moved south recently, so we're all still kinda dealing with that, and it's post-christmas so my work is kinda slowing down, but hey, means I get some time to catch up with myself.

...and my room. Lots of cleaning and sorting still to be done, phew.

I'm on AIM pretty much every night, sometimes until late, so feel free to drop a line! We've a lot of catching up to do, yes?

I'm still working in grocery between cashiering and seafood. I'm actually looking to see if I can move on to working in a vet's office, maybe, so I need to get over there and put in an application. I've been writing for money, too, and developing some of my own works (although I'm sure some of what's in there needs a ton of improvement...), and I just got a new bedroom set that is being moved in my room the next day or two. I've also been looking to get back into RPing again either in journals, forums, and so on because I need to develop more characters/plotlines. Rhia and I still email one another.

Have you been keeping up with any former OSW people? It sounds like you've been busy, but in a good way. :) I'll probably be on AIM either Saturday or Sunday since I'll be having company tonight/out tomorrow night. I'm working until 9 Saturday, so we'll see what happens.

I see Lan online pretty much every night, but no sign of Aki or some of the others. Tabi...I see on tumblr, but not really on AIM anymore (Lan talks to her still, but after the election results...yeah, I think I'm on Tabi's ban list and I don't much care after how she acted...)

Oh man, writing and having time for such! It is so very much a thing. Hoping you get to escape the retail into something that works better for you, but at least it's money?

Oh, new furniture! Always good. :)

If you wanted a place to post stuff, I can totally give you support. FDD is ported over, I know it's mostly fanfic but still. RPW is over there too, that could also work. Is your writing journal still open?

It's..openish, meaning I use it to post to a research community I go to and that's about it. I do have a deviantart, and I use that more often. Retail is money, true, but it's not fulfilling. I haven't spoken to Lan in forever either, although we weren't too close back when the game was still on. Thank you for the support offer! Once I have something I feel is semi-good, I can link or post it maybe? I should be on AIM fairly soonish. :)

If you have a DW, you can join up and friend me and stuff! I'd love to see some of your work again, but I can't promise any of my stuff is good. Don't have much posted at FDD, but it's there anyway.

Yeah, retail is money, but not really a career. I know I should probably move on sometime, but I guess for now I'm just happy to work at a store that isn't closing locations by the handful.

Are you still doing anything fandom-wise, or are you pretty much just in original stuff now? Definitely wondering what you've been watching and reading and playing and all of that (if you've had time, anyway).

I do, but need to reset the password since it seems I can't sign into it atm. :/ And at this point, I'm looking a car so I can go to school again and get a career, since retail is wearing me out. I do some things in fandom sometimes, but these days, with a broken TV (long story there, bought it broken and they refused to fix it), I've been reading various books (indie stuff, Robin Hobb, Julie Kagawa), and that's about it. How about you?

Ick, password troubles and broken tv, not cool at all. At least you have books and internet! Most of my reading lately has been of the "sort through my hoard" type, stuff I have no idea why I...well, have it.

My writing, such as it is, I put on hold until the holiday rush was over, but I'm having trouble getting back to it. So much fanfic and stuff, it's hard to remember when I last tried original stuff.

Definitely good luck on the car and everything!

Yeah, the broken TV was a real kicker. I had to contact the BBB and everything. Then they wanted to get back to me. I did some writing as part of a holiday exchange if you want me to message/post the link to it (it's about a character trying to find his author and the shenanigans that ensue), and am working on a few other things. I hope you're able to get back into your writing soon! I know the holidays can be annoying, they were bad for me this year. And thanks!
