I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
I apologize for worrying anyone!
There were a whole bunch of issues. Like time. Free time was sucked away by Dean insisting I pet him. Or me wanting to make him play nice with Al so I could get a picture of them snuggling. Or me trying to make sure that Bee and Grimlock didn't scare the fuck outta Dean, because, nope, not giving them up. Or tracking down Metallicar-as-Cybertronian fanfic. Plus, setting up for an open studio, learning how to paint on fabric, and also seeing Veronica Mars with my sister. My sister is an evil chid - have 2048, which I will give up as soon as you win, and btw, let me get you hooked on Breaking Bad, whole family, although I will never watch it!
I still haven't seen all of Conqueror of Shamballa which is bumming me out :(
There's also me and reviews. I'm not having one of those issues. The ones I'm most proud of, and that I put the most thought into, are the least popular. So I'm struggling to write reviews for my friends that they enjoy, except that I don't want to review Dinoporn 100% of the time. (< -- tend to be my most popular reviews!) However, the heart of the matter is that I want to write what I consider better - read more analytical - reviews for myself. And sometimes I don't have the energy.
Aaand. I also miscalculated. I thought Dean wouldn't be so insistent on pets. I thought people wouldn't miss me that much, and I thought that maybe, like, ten reviews a day was starting to get annoying! But the biggest miscalculation was time on my part. Time/something to post about, which I haven't had much of lately, so thus sudden disappearance. I kept meaning to post - but I didn't want to do a 'waves, hi' post since I thought that might be a little conceited. I promise, I'll try to stay up to date. And I'm almost done with my next volume of Fullmetal Alchemist so I should have that up soon!
