Hi

I'm still here

Yeah I know I kinda went totally inactive but I have my reasons. To quote my DA journal:

I have not properly filled you guys in on my life happenings in a while, so let's fix that, shall we?

Through the power of memory we shall head back to December 23rd, when I received the news that my grandfather died. This was very unexpected and I naturally was devastated.   A few hours later, a neighbor drove up to our house with a dog. This was not just any dog though. This was Thorin, a dog we had cared for several months ago when he showed up on our porch before his owner turned up. His owner had been evicted and he abandoned poor Thorin. But our doggy friend is now doing very well   So anyway, Christmas evening we packed up and drove to Florida, where my grandparents live. Blew a tire in Louisiana but made it there safely. Next two weeks was a whirl of funeral, people visiting, and trying to have a bit of fun when chance came. I missed quite a bit of it because we took Thorin with us and we had to keep him shut in a room and he can't stand being alone, therefore I had to hang out with him most of the time. Being a rather social person (and dog), this was rough on both of us. And nobody really seemed to notice how hard this was for me, which maybe shouldn't have upset me, but did.    And naturally it was during this crazy vacation of sorts that I heard the LEGO Message Boards were retiring. More shock. Now I'm going crazy trying to get my stories off of there and I still need to tell my BFF to do the same. A part of me will die with that place.   Aaaaanyway soooo we got home just fine, then I got to open up another BFF of mine's gift: the one and only LEGO Friends Riding Club!  I built it and it's so awesome!!! And the largest set I own. And the only one with horses.   So now I get to have fun with that, try to get on here when I can, and get out of t never-ending hole called Overdue Schoolwork. Yipee.

Well, I'm coming out of that hole now, and also another. For the past couple months, I've been emotionally messed up. I wouldn't call it depression, but it was pretty close. But suddenly it got better. I'm not entirely sure when the turning point was or what caused it, but I think it might havehave been listening to this:

 Soooooo yeah that's how I've been.

Well, see you 'round!
