Checking In /Still Alive

Discussion, in general

So. We meet again, you and I, after all this time.

I have been gone far, far too long. Logging in was like a warm wave of nostalgia washing over me.

School ate my life. And my brain, and my soul, and also like three water bottles and a keychain that I will never see again in this life or the next. It will probably consume more. It is a gaping maw that feeds on money, time, and stress hormones, and spits back only terror of the future, exhaustion, and somehow even more stress hormones. And possibly some educational information I'll need for my career, I don't know, that's the rumor.

The bits in between studying have been kind of a downer, too, so that's been lousy. I can't guarantee I won't vanish for more stretches of time in the future. Soon, I will be called to do battle against exams again, and they are a formidable foe.

But! I am happy to be back. I have missed you all far more than can be appropriately expressed in a public forum. All of you. Even the ones I haven't met yet. ALL.

RAINYYYYYYYYY, you're BAAAAAAAACK

Are you saying you're not going to waste hours on the internet and then study in a sugar-and-caffeine-fueled frenzy the night before? That's...actually a pretty good plan. Carry on.

Rainy's back! And Arkyle came back like a month ago. So did Lind. And Dasha (who I hadn't even met) came back a few weeks before that. Perhaps there's hope that ButtChocolate will return after all.

Any rate, if school is eating your life, I hope that it's at least for a degree that will actually make you money.*

Don't encourage her, Maple. She's ruining the curve for everybody else.

I didn't do that the first time around, but I'm like 65% certain I'm doing that this time.

My life has been crazy. I haven't been on here much. It's about to get weird for the next couple days. I will update when I can.

Still alive.

So I've been on IRC, but haven't really been posting in the forums.

I initially stopped posting in an attempt to waste less time so I'd be less behind with stuff I need to do. That hasn't really happened.

Thought I might post more over Spring Break, but I got far less accomplished than I expected and relaxation was flat out.

I may post in the rant thread because my stress has been extreme, and my adorable obscure critters thread for the same reason. Probably won't post much elsewhere until this term is over.

I feel that. Life is so bonkers right now that I don't dare tell anyone just how off the rails it's all become. I get the feeling people either wouldn't believe me or they'd just drown me in pity tears if they did, and that's not helpful.

I have no idea how to proceed. I'm just going to try to meditate.

These little black kids are saying "Deeeez Nuuuts" in the library. I'd laugh but I'm not sure I remember how. I think I can manage a smirk.

Despite the laws of nature, fortune and my job all trying their humble best to kill me, I ain't dead yet.

Unless the voices in my head have been lying to me the past week or so, I still exist. College has been nuts. And not in the drunken, keg stand, lampshade-on-head way, more of the "oh sweet jesus I have to memorize the single letter codes for all 20 amino acids by next week" way.

Here's hoping I survive the next 6 months to post regularly again. In the meantime, have some pictures I took. It's pretty as heck here. All the hills are also hell on my prairie-accustomed legs. Enjoy.

Holy fuck, I want to live in BC. Well, not really, because the exotic pet laws are terrible. I want to live in Oregon, which is like BC but with more reasonable laws.

Also, if it wasn't clear from all the posts yesterday; I'm still alive. But I think I was only absent for like a week or two (and I made one post last week), so I don't know if anyone noticed my absence. I've been busy making things difficult for myself.

You might encounter more absences towards the middle and the end of the semester, but as long as there's at least a handful of people I like interacting with here; I don't think I'll ever fully leave TCS, even if I vanish for months on end.
