Update on life: Sakura-Con and HDD Failure

[empyrealfantasy]

Wow, it has been a while, loves.

Katie here, exhausted and overstretched! So many things to update you all on, so little time. I'll be breif and just touch the two biggest things, and if you comment with questions I'll write back to answer anything else.  Kay?  Kay!

Right!

RE: All is well, indeed!

[mizstorge]

Missed you, and delighted to discover that you've spent time enjoying yourself! *hugs*

And yes, more Para is icing on the cake!

I've had my share of computer tragedies, so I offer heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your hard drive. *lifts a glass in memory of the recently departed*

Four hours of fantastic discussion with an amazing guy? He obviously found something amazing in you, dear, to spend so much time basking in your companionship so I won't accept any excuses about attractiveness/baggage on your part. If you are even one quarter the conversationalist that you are a writer, I cannot imagine anyone being other than enthralled by your company. *echoes "Boo"*

Re: All is well, indeed!

[empyrealfantasy]

That was far more kind than I deserve, darling. :) Thank you so much for brightening a very stressful afternoon. I needed to smile,a nd you gave me that. :)

Para has been coming along sl choppily, but I managed to sit and write for ages in the last weeks, so I have high hopes. Cross your fingers for me, hmm? :) :) :)

Hey, ya! It's good to see you posting, again! Con sounds like lots of fun; maybe, one day I'll go to one, too.

"Five years single" isn't neccessarily a bad thing. :) I feel you about the "don't want the drama" stuff, too. Dating can be really a drag when the person you're seeing is someone you're really into-into. But...this guy at Con. Wow! Seems like you really connected. I'll keep my fingers crossed that good things will happen (even if you think they won't).

Computer trouble is the pits. It's good that you could save your files, though.

Seriously, it's good hearing from you. <3 *hugs* :D

[empyrealfantasy]

Dating is fraught with stress, and I am tired enough watching everyone around me go through the drama. I don't need to do it myself. :P Hahaha. But I honestly... it is odd. I'm always saying how I don't want to get into a relationship, how bad I am in them, how much of a hassle they are... and then it takes one person to have me totally going back on my word and tripping over my tongue to follow him and his sexy-arsed mind. Unfair. *sigh* And frustrating.

How are you? It has been ages.

[eyesofshinigami]

Hey there babe! *GLOMPTACKLES* I know you haven't been around because of the computer thing, but I hope to see you around soon!

I'm really glad that you had fun at the con. :) And yay for finding boys! At the very least, you have an awesome friend to talk to. :)

♥♥♥

[empyrealfantasy]

Exactly, and that is how I am looking at it. I fear he's quite a bit too good for me, but I am thankful to have gotten an intelligent, witty friend out of the bargain. And he's putting up with me even after I flirted shamelessly all weekend and made an ass out of myself! Strong man, ne? :P

I miss you too, Leslie. I'm around tonight and probably all weekend, though doing homework,. so if you get bored drop me an IM. <3 How have things been for you?

[eyesofshinigami]

*waves her hand* Now that's you being silly. He's not too good for you and it sounds like he likes you just fine the way you are. :) I hate that you beat yourself up like that. ♥

I'll have to catch you tomorrow night or something... Jimmie and I just got back from visiting his family over Spring Break and we drove 10 hours to get home. x_x I'm checking LJ and my emails, then I'm heading to bed to unwind.

I miiiiiiiissssss you too. I'll have to catch you up on all the latest drama that went on. *facepalms and clings to you*

[empyrealfantasy]

Oh jesus, more drama? I hate to say that I am interested to hear. XD I hope you guys rest well tonight. ♥ ♦ ♥

And I don't mean to sound like I'm beating up on myself. I don't hate myself, I don't even think I'm ugly. However, I am an overweight, plain woman with a 5 year old child. What up-and-coming amazingly interesting 24 year old needs something like that? I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I have a lot of baggage, and while I may try hard, I know I'm not a very good person in relationships, and add to that the rest of it? *shakes head* He deserves better, even if he was interested by some stroke of miracle. :)

Again, not beating on myself, just... enamored, and wanting better for him, I suppose. LOL.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~! *tackles* How are you???? Too long indeed! How are things with you? &heart;

Re: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[saoirsewaveglow]

I am SO good. ^__^ I had my first experience of meeting an online friend yesterday, and it was SOOOOOOOO exciting!!! We had a great time hanging out for four hours in the city. ^__^ So, besides school starting up again tomorrow (>.<), I'm doing just fine. ^_^

Other than that... life's pretty much just school. And rowing, up until a month ago. Ish. Rowing's over. :( Life is so sad. I don't know what to do with myself. |D

I can't wait until it starts again. XDDD

And I can't wait until Year 12 is over. Just this year left at high school!!! I'm so ready to get out of it all. :)

[raineishida]

Katie.

Don't even get me started on Mr. Zack.

...we won't go there because I'll be here for hours explaining your awesomeness.

:)

I'll see you in ...well, a few months. I can't. Freaking. Wait.

We need to pile into the car and go find this guy! Where does he live?

I love you. So much. <3 So excited to see you in August...and I'm so happy you had fun at the Con. I've been thinking about Zidane and Dagger all day...and how easy it would be to cosplay her. I have her hair right now, for goodness' sake.

Srsly.

...it's the yellow skintight spandex bit that worries me, though. ;)

Maybe I could just do the white mage cloak thing?

[empyrealfantasy]

The post went through though! LAWL. XD

Hello dearest Shradildah. I think you could pull off Dagger nicely, and I'd be excited to see you pull it off. Then you'd need a sign proclaiming that you were looking for a Zidane. XD

As for my Mr. Zack, he's coming out to see me while I'm in Tacoma for the Power of One conference. *claps hands over her mouth and giggles* I didn't think he would really do it, but after I asked he said he didn't have other plans and was looking into food places in the area. <3 However, in a month or two he is moving to Chicago. ;____; My luck is nice, huh? Maybe I could go visit Sean. LOL.

Mt hair is half green right now. We all decided to go as a color of the rainbow for the Po1 conference, and it amuses me greatly. XD

You amuse me too. I read what you said about spandex to Jayna and she laughed. ^^ But you know what you do more than amuse me? You make me love you eternally. ♥
