Well, it's been over a month+, but 2011 wasn't my best year, was it? So much for the Great Comeback.
On the other hand, in real fandom life, I've MET people!
The best people.
fiwen1010 ,
ilizze,
dremiel,
pressdbtwnpages,
analineblue and
sariagray!
And that is AWESOME. Best part of the year. Endless talking. Sariagray and I ended up talking for HOURS past when we thought we would. HOURS. ENDLESS TALKING. Best thing ever.
I also met Gareth David-Lloyd twice and went to Dragon*Con.
But the online aspect of fandom is a social thing as much as anything. And I miss you guys, I miss my friends when I don't come online.
It's been as much of a timing thing as anything else. In perfect honesty, I'm in my final semester of uni, I have a thesis to write and a GPA to try and maintain. I need to find a job and I need to figure out if I really want to go to law school. (Or get my PhD. Or become a hermit with wi-fi. I'll grow my own food and raise chickens. I might be over-thinking this.)
But I'm giving myself some fandom time. A little bit. Gotta catch up on fic, at the very least. :) As I've been out for odd chunks of 2011, I'm going through way-old posts.
Although some of you guys might end up with MASSIVE comment-spam. I'd say sorry, but I'm not. :D
(I'm actually at the weird point now where I'm commenting and getting replies FASTER THAN I CAN DO TURN AROUND. AAAAAAHHHHH.)
P.S. I'm back in the States. The Japan program was a winter-session thing, very short. Probably should have mentioned that. It was tons of fun, I went to the TEZUKA MUSUEM and the International Manga Museum, and I didn't do the hundreds of other things I meant to do. Oh well!
