I haven't really been an active member of this site in the past year, and I'm not really sure how I should explain myself. Well, I suppose a part of it does have something to do with the fact that my laptop crashed a couple of years ago, and I was without a laptop for almost a month. After that, I kinda got busy with school--still am--and by the time I felt like going back, I wasn't really sure if people even remember me or not.
And then came the summer of '09 when a net friend of mine and I fought. I'll not talk about it, because it's a rather childish and immature topic, but it still hurt me pretty badly. So badly enough, that I was content to leaving my interaction with other people to a downright minimal. We're still not talking, and I don't know if we ever will again. But anyhow, that's pretty much another reason why I didn't come back. I just wasn't that eager to talk to people, you know?
This past year is somewhat therapeutic to me, to be honest. I went to Ottawa during October thanks to Encounters with Canada, and I met some great people there. <3 They showed to me just how friendly people can be, even strangers. I made friends when I thought it would be impossible, and I formed even greater bonds with those whom I came with. Plus, Ottawa was pretty cool in itself. : D I love, love the old gothic buildings.
And I'm going off topic here, but during my stay there, I found out that I was attracted to one of my friends. Bad, bad, bad, considering she'd never like me back. ;P
November was my first try at a Nanowrimo, a contest wherein I had to write 50k words in a month. It was pretty tiring in itself and kept me busy for the most part. I did win, though sad to say, the novel wasn't completed because it had waaay too many things happening at the same time. ;P
The last few months were just extremely busy for me. Flew by without me even thinking about it much. I do enjoy one of the classes we have in particular, coz a lot of it is just making us think about things, and why things are the way they are. (I think our current topic is moral ambiguity, but I'm not sure.) We also get to watch a lot of films. <3
Truthfully, I think what really drew me back here was the fact that we bought a Wii couple of months ago. I was often here to find out which games were good and whatnot (and learning how to mod things, though noob, I still am) and I think the more I was exposed to this site, the more nostalgic I felt, until I just couldn't help but post again. It kind of helps that I had an excuse. xD (My sisters promised me a laptop for my birthday, and since none of us are that tech savvy, I thought I might ask around here.)
That's basically that, I guess. I'm not really sure what is relevant and what's not--besides writing, my primary obsession. If you want to ask on anything in general, ask away. Or even tell me what's been going on that I missed. : 3
