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?

Oh, honey! It's so wonderful to see you around. *HUGS*

I'm so sorry to hear about your depression and other misfortunes, and I do hope that things will be better for you in the year to come.

Me, I made some poor choices in the past years and was unemployed for quite a while, then moved back to my home town when Eva and I broke up, and took a job I'm vastly over-qualified for to save my finances. I feel like I'm being an under-achiever and that I should be doing more with my life, but at the same time, I'm kind of happy with the way things are at the moment. If only I could learn to work harder at writing. *g* So, that's me. :)

Anyway, you're still one of my favourite people, and I was so thrilled to see you post. *hugs again*

Wow, you've had a lot of changes! I'm glad that it's all working for you, though I must confess that I'd love it if you worked harder at writing because you're one of the best writers I've had the pleasure to know (and beta).

*hugs you back*
