A year? Really?

Yes. It's really been a year since I posted to my journal. Sheesh.

It's not like I haven't been around. Doing fandom stuff. Going to WhedonCon with

I'm glad to hear things have been going fairly well for you.

There's definitely lots more good stuff than the other kind. Time, apparently, has no meaning anymore, though. ;-)

I really doesn't seem like a year, probably because you have been around, even if you haven't posted in your lj.

It sounds like a very interesting year...some good some bad..but then again that's life. Enjoy your weekend

I have been around! A bit more spotty than before, but not "dropped off the face of the interwebs for a year" spotty.

I've mostly enjoyed the year. When people find out about all the various caretaking things - not all of which are listed here, because: boring - they are very sweet and ask me how I am doing in a very pointed way. But I am more than okay! And the outlet of fandom is pretty darned helpful.

Sakes, R, that sounds like a decade's worth of freaking out. I am glad things are a little more even keel now, and I heartily wish you pleasant, slightly boring days and plenty of time to enjoy fandom and culture in peace.

It's been a lot, but a lot of it has been super fun! Not "running around the UK" fun, but that's not too far in the future, I don't think. I'll try to post more as the Plans for the Future shape up.

Thanks for the good wishes.

Wow. I really really wouldn't want to have had to deal with all those scary health things, but I would surely have loved being with you'll at some of those trivia/fandom related things. Good to hear from you <3

We owned the room at trivia! I got a Giles Funko Pop doll to commemorate our great victory!

I'm hoping for a Season 3 of Buffy In Drag this October, but since I'm skipping Comic-Con this year, I don't know when the next real life fandom event will happen. I just know that it will. *\o/*

Good to see you!

For instance, have you ever heard of Transient Global Amnesia?
Yes, yes I have! I couldn't have told you the name, but I (many years ago) read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and one of the chapters dealt with two people with this condition.

Totally weird. It doesn't last long, thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster. New memories were possible within a day, but it took a couple of months to fully bounce back from the incident. It didn't help that I was out of town when it happened - but managed to push my flight up and get home within 8 hours of figuring out something was seriously wrong.

It was very "50 First Dates", except that every moment was fresh and disorienting - and that it didn't run on into weeks and months. Poor dear will never get that day back, but it could have been so much worse.

Brains: way more fragile than we think.

Yes, that's a relief. Having actually read through the relevant bit on wiki, the people in the book had a different issue. Or rather, the permanent version. :(

Mmm. Never take anything for granted...
