How has it been 17 Months since my last post?!
Hello F-List
It's been a long time. I've been a terribly terrible user since I started working at my Big Corporate Job. I have selfishly neglected the lovely people I've met on here who have been supportive when I needed it and made the effort to pass along lovely words when I felt down. There's a large number of people I've missed from on here and I wanted to come say hi because, at the end of the year when I've been grateful to my IRL peeps... I felt that I've not been as grateful to my LJ-friends in a long, long while.
I moved to a new job last May though sadly only a bigger and more responsibility filled job but, happily, one I enjoy a lot more and find very fulfilling. The stresses have pushed me back to LT3 so I've been reading fiction to unwind again, and even re-reading some of my past and wip works. I'm not stupid enough anymore to say I'll be back at writing soon - I know I won't. But I'll at least not be off LJ for so long again, particularly since I've just added LJ to the pages my browser will open upon startup :)
It's nochick_fics' birthday in 2 days. I've missed _profiterole_'s more times than a I can count. Anyjen, katherineokelly, curiousrobin and So Many Others's birthdays and life stuffs I've missed come to mind.
If any of you lovely peeps are reading this: I've missed you. Thank you. I hope you're alright and I wish you all the best.

The Anchor's Chain, chap 10 (end)
Could learn a thing or two from them.
There’s been some small articles in recent years by wildlife biologists about the phenomenon of inter-species relationships --more and more of them are citing that it’s because the animals know something we don’t.
If you think about it, most animals don’t have a ‘human’ capacity for pity or compassion beyond the instinctive need to protect young. An animal crying out in pain will attract predators’ attention so other animals will actually avoid it rather than go help --even its own flock or group mates. Also, animals survive by scent; in this photo, the monkey knows the kitten is not its spawn or one of its brethren. Other animals that get along also know that they’re not the same species at all (I saw a recent photo of two animals of similar size playing in a yard but one is a tiger cub and the other a dog!) …so why do they get along?
Article writers are speculating that the animals sense, like they do earthquakes and storms, that they have to stick together for survival’s sake. Makes me sad to consider this might be the reason… but also glad they’re helping each other out. For creatures that we consider to be 'sub-species' and whose lives have less value than ours, and who don't have what we label to be emotions --they sure could teach us a thing or two about accepting differences and tolerance.
Bunny Olympics!!
Dun-dun-dun-duuuuuunn...
HONESTY MEME
Step 1: Post this into your LJ publicly.
Step 2: Others will reply anonymously (if they'd like) about what they really think of you.
Step 3: Cry, because this meme is so brutal, and it hurts.
Anon is ON. IP logging is OFF. Comment screening is OFF. I'm not going to hide anything.

I got a message from poutergeist about one of my icons (one I'm using) which I know someone told me they made but which I did not credit them for.
I have since been trying to write who I steal icons from in the 'comment' section of 'manage my userpics' for each icon but the space for this particular icon is still blank, as are a number of others I use. So if you have seen me use an icon which is yours, please let me know in a comment here so I can credit you, even if have credited you in the past or you emailed me the damn thing directly --please repeat yourself, I beg you.
You made it, you deserve the recognition.
My apologies. And thank you.
