Heya! I recently returned to LJ after a long hiatus as well, and it looks like I'm going to be keeping it up for a little while at least. I miss my LJ peeps so much. It's really sad how desolate it's gotten here. Along with LJ, I've been much more active on FB and other social media lately, too. I've been battling a debilitating creative block for the past 3 years (I'm blaming said emotional problems), but I've been working my way through it and I've been giving serious effort to drawing again. Baby steps.

Sorry you've been having emotional problems. I have been, too. It sucks. But that's great that your writing career has taken off so well! I always knew you'd do well once you got noticed. :3

JOJO JOJO JOJO!!! I so hear you. Emotional problems, like... what the hell man? I did a ton of therapy before I had a kid and was like, "WOO, I'M GOOD" and then... PPD. Not so good. But whatevs.

I want to return to LJ, too. I miss journaling (because how am I supposed to remember anything if I don't write it down??) and I miss peeps too, T_T It's good to see some people are still around! I shall pm you with my facebook under my penname. I'm actually active on it and stuff.

YAYYYY!!!! I'm glad you're back checking in on LJ. There are still some of the old guard around, but they don't tend to check in as often as they used to. Everyone seems to have migrated to Tumblr, but I don't like it there much because it's a time-sucking vortex of d00m and it's really difficult to TALK to anyone on there. The macros and gifs are awesome there, but it's srsly addictive and it feels isolating ( ... )

UGH. I remember you talking about your job and other stuff in your life...I'm glad you're going to therapy, that shit is the bomb. But yeah, journaling is totally therapeutic. I stopped because it seemed like I didn't have time to do it, but I'm starting to think that it was kind of essential. Tumblr is fun and all, but it's kind of like a totally fannish LJ on meth or something. Pure escapism, but very hard to actually connect.

Oh wow, a wild Res appears! :Db

I'm an even more hardcore lurker now, mostly just reading comms and stuff here and on DW, with the occasional random comment.

Your kidlet is 3 already? D8 Wow.

I KNOW, RIGHT?? He still thinks he's a little baby who can crawl all over mom, and I'm like, "stop, you weigh 37 pounds and you have pointy elbows oh god my spleen"

Heeeeyyyy yoooou!! I've seriously been thinking about you lately, wondering how everything was going. I'm so glad you posted. I can't believe your sweet baby is almost three! And you're kicking ass with your writing career! (I want to know more about that-- email me the details on where I can find/buy/recommend, please?)

I'm sort of still here on LJ, but mostly reading and totally slacking on updating. I'm more active on Twitter and FB. Would love to connect either place. It's good to hear from you!

Hi! I'm still around but mostly just reading some comms.

Congrats on your writing career taking off! I'm interested in checking out your stuff. Tell me more please!

Dang, Baby is already reading and writing. I forgot how fast they progress when they're little.

It's nice to see you here again!

I'm honestly surprised at how many people are still here--makes me think I'll start updating again, because, hell, I really enjoyed this place. I'm so happy to see you, too!

Will pm re: profic.

Yay! You're still around! And you have stuff to read that I can buy!? I'll agree with others above, me, let me know the names and such to look for and I will acquire said things. :) I post on here now and then, stuff that I'm not able to trust to even the most stringent of Facebook filters. Mostly I read for the updates from people who write delicious stories.

I...don't know about the pm system on here...I think it works, but I forget to check it. I'll dare Gmail to fight the spammers and post my e-mail instead. :) Shockingly, mirumototsubasa@gmail.com. I'm also on facebox all the time, so if that's friend/followable I'm interested in that as well!

Tumblr...yeah. I check that every now and then, when I have some time to spare. Because ALL THE PICTURES! SO PRETTY! I....oh, it's been 2 hours. Hmm.
