It's been so long since I've posted in lj that I just spent 30 minutes staring at the subject line and coming up with nothing whatsoever remotely clever or apropos to fill it with, and just as I was about to burst into tears at the tragical loss of my lj skills, I remembered, oh, right, I've always sucked at finding anything witty or amusing to stuff in there, this is nothing new. Or even, you know, interesting, but what the hey. I've never been so great at first paragraphs either. Work with me here.

So. Yeah. Back online again. It's been one hell of a year and then some, but things seem to be not quite so...interesting right now, which is a definite improvement, so I'm venturing into the virtual waters once again. Of course, going online again has meant having a nervous peek into my email inbox where I found, not surprisingly, email. Email that's been sitting ignored for months, and oh, the shame. Dudes, if you've sent me a message since April, I will be answering you in the next couple of days. And, also? I'm sorry.

What pulled me back was the lure of SeSa. I was enduring a three-day round of staff meetings last week, trying to focus without any success whatsoever, when it suddenly hit me: SESA! I'd missed the SeSa sign-ups!!! Dude, the woe. The utter woe. It was  weepish and bulky and mind-consuming, so as soon as I got home I logged on only to find that SeSa is no more. Which, OMG, yet more woe. BUT, on the other hand mtyg ! Whoot! I've signed up, of course. And now, of course, I hate myself, but whatev.

Anyhow, if you're still speaking to me, hey! And if you're not, well, hey, anyway.

Who are you? What are you doing in my computer?

Coming back for SeSa is one of the best reasons I know. \o/ So good to have you back!

[(Anonymous)]

It is possibly THE best reason other than all the people that I've missed HORRIBLY, and you are most definitely one of those. It's going to take me an insane amount of time to go back and catch up on everyone's lives. *girds loins* But I'm up for the task!

Good to be back, and thanks for decorating your reply with the Lance victory/celebratory/hot-Bass-in-shorts icon.

Of course, signing in always helps ...

*pounces right the heck back*

*tackles, too*

*ditto with the clinging*

HI!!!! And you're doing the mtyg thingie too, which is all kinds of awesome because we can SHARE THE ANGST!! And you know what they say about shared angst, right? IT'S DOUBLE THE REGULAR ANGST OMG CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[madame-d.livejournal.com]

You owe me, like, a metric assload of emails. I can't wait!!!

And yeah, I signed up for popslash SeSa; it wouldn't be holiday season without all the fic angst, you know?

My room smells like cigarette and pot smoke that I have NO idea where it's coming from. Ick.

[(Anonymous)]

I DO owe you a metric ton of emails. OMG, how will I ever catch up?? I'll have to hire a secretary, maybe two. Oh, the trauma.

It wouldn't be the holidays without all that fic angst, you are absolutely right. So, so addicted to the fic angst this time of year. It goes so nicely with all the other angst ...

Do your neighbours have a balcony that they smoke on? Because, yeah. Serious ew with the cigarette and pot smoke.

You're going to have your secretary reply to my emails? zOMG, that's so Hollywood, WTF?

I don't live in a building *with* a balcony. However, seeing as how we get icky cooking odors from the flat below us, I'm pretty sure the walls are made of, like, cardboard, and everything filters through. Ick.

[sola-fiamma.livejournal.com]

Hey, look, I finally remembered how to sign in.

I would only have my secretary reply to OTHER emails so I could devote the REST OF MY NATURAL LIFE to answering yours. Dude. Really. I haven't lost ALL sense of proportion.

Your building SUCKS, or at least its ventilation system does. Other people's smells. Rarely a good thing.

[madame-d.livejournal.com]

I'm always signed in on my computer. Makes life easier. :)

Oh. Um. I feel so special now *wipes away tears* Thank you. That's so sweet!

Other people's smells. Rarely a good thing.

I've invested a fortune into candles, wax tarts, and incense. So, yup!

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Hey to you, too!

Whee! Hey, hey, and much love for the hipshake!

[sola-fiamma.livejournal.com]

I've been away for so long, I keep forgetting about the logging in thing. Sigh.

[pensnest]

Yay! I'm so glad you've signed up for MTYG, I love your stories. And it's good to see you back on LJ, don't go away!

[sola-fiamma.livejournal.com]

I am so looking forward to MTYG! I would have been BROKEN HEARTED if nobody had picked up the SeSa torch. Can't wait!

I won't go away and I'll try to keep my absences shorter.

[turlough]

Hi!!!! You're back!!!! And you've signed up for MTYG, wheee!!! *bounces excitedly*

[sola-fiamma.livejournal.com]

Hi!!! I AM back!!! And MTYG!! Does it get any more YAY than that?? *bounces right along side*

[brighton-girl.livejournal.com]

I'm quite sure you will write a rocking MTYG story!

[sola-fiamma.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you! Whether it rocks or not, a MTYG will be written!
