damn.

3 months. I haven't been here for well over 3 months.

Ugh.

Cousin's staying here for the night to work her masteral thesis (due on January 7, she's halfway through with it). Trying to work on one's thesis the night before New Year's Eve and their apartment blessing wasn't working, obviously. So she called the cousin who had nothing to do and a whole lot of space to do nothing in.

I've noticed that our house attracts runaways/stragglers/escapists in one form or another. I've had 2 friends stay here for an extended period of time because they've fled their homes, and several groups of college friends stay here for 3 days instead of 1. Something about the house that makes them... relaxed, or detached from everything.

Hello lovelies.

The past few months have been... surreal-ly chaotic. With good bits interspersed sparingly. If you've been following my )Twitter and Plurk accounts (go follow now ^^) you'd have some idea of what went down with me. But it's just basically this: Work happened to me, and it kicked my ass. It's been a year and 6 months already, and I'm still adjusting to it.

Let's see what will happen when April comes around. 2 years. Then... we'll see.

My mother's belated birthday/early christmas present to me was a Canon 450D. I now have no excuse whatsoever to not pursue all the photography challenges I've been eyeing. Expect a lot of photos in future entries.

***

So, that's cameras, calligraphy (practice, practice, practice), manga & anime (which I'm getting back into), comics, Tumblr, writing (or earnestly starting on writing anyway)...

What else do I need to do to get my life back on track started again?

It is 2:05a.m here, December 31, 2009; 2 hours into the final day of this year.

2009 was a bitch of a year. I'm glad to see it ending. Looking forward to 2010 a whole lot ^^

Hiiii, Karen! ♥ So nice to hear from you!

I agree. 2009 was definitely a bitch. And yes, do post photos. >3

[innocentlyjaded.livejournal.com]

VAL! ♥♥♥ how are you?

I'll post! A lot! Enough to render your browser into a coma, but not totally kill it >3

[lanoyee.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥ I'm... reasonably well, besides having a fight with my computer.

Oh my! xD Of what? :o What do you like to take photos of?

... and you do calligraphy?

[innocentlyjaded.livejournal.com]

... you're still commenting, so I guess the computer gave in? :3

Photos of... hrm, anything that catches my eye? xP I don't have a specific interest yet.

I'm starting on it. Which means a lot of practice >_

[lanoyee.livejournal.com]

Well, it IS still working - sort of. Barely. -_-;

I see! Shall be looking forward to that.

Yes. Yes, it does. What kind are you doing - brush or pen? Or a bit of both? xD

[jackalite.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm on break from school right now for the holidays, which has been really nice and relaxing. However there's been some drama in my group of IRL friends and fff I want to get away from it all.
