still here, still breathing, still writing (sometimes)

[oiran]

Over the holidays, I've had a death in the family, a joyous reunion with an old friend, and a wonderful icy, slushy, dirty xmas in NYC. Prior to that, I spent ~3 years in a depressed fog from which, mostly and most thankfully, I have been granted a chemical reprieve. I did very little writing, very little getting dressed and practically no leaving the house during that time, plus my little lovebird died of old age and I broke my foot, so there's not really much more that needs to be said about the general 2005-2009 period.

I sincerely hope some of you still have me on your filters. How have you all been?

I'm glad to see you posting! Of course we remember you. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing and my condolences on the death in the family.

By the way, I'm in San Francisco now so if you're ever over this way, give me a shout. I'd love to talk with you again.

Thank you.

San Francisco? Cool. I was there in June during the horrible heat wave and spent a lot of time sitting in a cold bath because my heat tolerance is pretty much zero. Did I mention that it was PRIDE weekend? I was finally visiting SF during pride (!!!) and it was too hot to do anything pride-related. However, when I did get out, I had a great time.

And, yes, definitely. I will let you know if I'm heading your way again.
