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?

Holy sweet jesus you're alive! I've thought of you often, and am glad to see you post. Welcome back!

I have stupid drama right now with a house fire and scrambling for a place to live, and am fairly in love with my married boss, but am content with our friendship. Grown up a bit in the past few years, and am perhaps, just maybe, kinda thinking about liking myself for once. Shocker, no?

I hope you continue to post. Where are you at now?

Hey! I'm sorry to hear about your housing issues (fire? Jesus!) and the rest of your life sounds...complicated, let's call it, but you sound pretty positive about it anyway. So, I hope it's not inappropriate, but I'm happy for you, despite the obvious negatives of your current situation.

As for me, I'm still - STILL!!!! - in Nashville. I have vague hopes of getting back to the West Coast (Portland preferably) permanently within the next few years - but that's all they are. Hopes, vague.
