Okay my lovelies, you will be very sorry to hear that I have resolved to RETURN to the wonders that be livejournal updating. You can all blame orly_bloom_lova (who has never stopped lobbying for my return since I stopped) and xxxlilj190xxx and wutendeskind who both so kindly pointed out that they know nothing about my life ever since I stopped boring them with words. They made me kind ( Read more... )

I can't believe school is starting so soon.

( I'm on maternity leave. Oh god, don't scare me like that, I am so NOT pregnant. I'm on... leave. Just leave. No, I'm taking a hiatus. That may be permanent...? Who knows, depends on my discipline. ...Which, as we all know, is pretty non-existent at this point. )
