Although I'm still reading up on LJ 2-3x a week, I know I really haven't been posting tonnes. I guess I'm sorry? It's just where life has gone. I've finally figured out how to my my twitter crosspost to here, but since I post there even less than here? XD
However! I am around on social media, still, should any of you wish to seek me out again.
I've spent most of my (spare) time this weekend reading through the old storylines of gondolindrim (thanks to the lovely existance of starkindlersays, that has them in sensible order) and though I know I stopped playing when I did due to health problems combined with lack of time, I miss it dearly. It was great craic (as the Irish would say). I guess that's exactly why I'd made that game - I'd missed the one I'd been in before.
It's sad how it just sort of stopped at a point where things were getting really good. I know, for myself, illness and lack of time were major contributing factors to stopping.
And these days, even LJ seems so dead and it's so sad and. Yeah. I don't know. Sorry. This sort of nostalgia starts to appear whenever I begin to drift into another depressive spell. Ignore me.
I go out of my way to surprise my mum with a cleaned & re-organized kitchen and what does she do? Freak the fuck out. Right. Thanks mum. Because my day wasn't shit already.
On the plus side, I'm spending 15 hours a week doing pastry classes, which are awesome but make my schedule hectic.
