2016... holy shit guys. ^__^/ *waves emphatically*
IT IS ME. I have returned after the long dark of Moriaaaa. haha. who is still here? *taps mic* anybody!? I don't blame you, if not. What with facebook and tumblr and lots of other new adventures to blog on. Goodness knows I left this place a long time ago. Maybe one day you'll stop by and see this, remember old times, and smile. That gives me hope.
I just finished reading painfully and giggling at some of my past posts. I am 35, now. Can you believe it? I'm not married with kids. I've popped a lung (or two) spontaneously, to which now I have what I dub my "Iron" lung post-surgery. I'm doing really good. I don't know if I could say that very often in these angsty past posts. But. I'm okay! I moved from my home state, I have 3 cats, I drink mostly coffee and water (goodbye soda, my dear friend) and I'm a video editor. YEP. I edit videos all day long in a dark dark room. That's why I dye my hair lots of fun bright colours, so you can still see me in the dark. ;) Or so I tell my employers. mwahah.
yes here I am, editor in her natural dark habitat. >.<; my work's up here: www.katietoomey.com
A lot happened. I totally went to and graduated with bachelor's with damn fine GPA in school, got out of those awful relationships, and managed to adult myself in many ways. I was thin, then I gained weight from stress, and have been on a long journey of HIIT, lifting weights, and tracking noms. I'm not concerned with some of the heavy things I had been during all my past writings, so you can hold hope that I made it. I made it out of all of this. Damn, I can actually say I'm proud of myself. I have come so far...
This past Easter I lost my awesome mom to stupid cancer. She was only 70. She had stage 4 Uterine cancer, and it spread too far too fast. :( RIP /sigh. Felt like she had more time left to enjoy everything. I wanted to get myself into the best place so she could be proud of me. I think I accomplished that, but I wasn't done! It's a true sadness, the kind you really can't explain to anybody until they have it happen. Even then, it's all subjective. The thought struck me though, I have no parents left now. Makes me realize what's important in life, to be sure. Not necessarily having kids mind you.. that's not always the right answer. Just that we're only here for so much time. makes me think of this through the dark times. Frodo goes on about the ring and wishing it'd never come to him and the troubles he's seen. Gandalf replies "So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." And I'm trying to figure out that balance.
Maybe I will update here a lot more often. For old times sake.
GAWDS be damned Dragonsaint *shakes fist* wherever you reside, I actually still miss the shit out of you, I think it's being on here because that's where we met and I read some of the funniest past convos - you were truly one of a kind, my friend. You really wouldn't even believe how well I got with Photoshop and Illustrator and all these editing softwares. It said your unixpirate blog is now le poof'ed, and this made me sad. Alas. Be well friend!
