Hokay. Wow. That was probably- no, definitely the longest unannounced hiatus I've ever fallen into. I tend to measure my mental health by hobbies dropped, and I haven't played guitar in about the same amount of time... so it's probably a good thing I've finally gotten onto that medicare psychologist thing. On the other hand, I hadn't drawn anything since year eleven of high school, and lately my notes have been covered in cute birds instead of random geometric patterns, so possibly things are on the up!
So livejournal (and dreamwidth!), what have I been up to during my lurkernation!?
Well. Let me see...
( cut for OH GOD I REALLY HAVEN'T POSTED SINCE JUNE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. )
So. State Of The Maggie. I have not failed uni or dropped out of it to have a nervous breakdown. I have more or less stopped sulking about being dumped (I think). In related news I also think I have begun to figure out this whole casual flirting thing, in that the last time I got hit on (...I think) I did not freak out nearly at all, which bodes well for the future. I have made a start on sorting out all the junk in my room. I have summer plans. I have comics. I have awesome friends.
I think I'm okay.
I'm back!

"Strange.
There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.
You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.
Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.
Whenever it rains you will think of her. "
— Neil Gaiman (Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders)

...hey guys.
/o
So my inevitable long unanounced hiatus for this year is nearly over. I didn't want to post anything until I had time to do a long catch-up post, but surprise! One of my assignments for this semester involves writing a (long, LONG) blog post and submitting it with commentary. Nobody's specified where it should go, so I'm going to post it here and link my teacher to it, and I thought I should warn you guys before I do so. Uh, because it's due at 5pm today :P
Please only comment to that post with discussion on the topic, any welcomes back, ear-boxing, cat macros etc should go here or be saved for the catch-up post :)
PS I totally missed you \o/

kitsche

Whoa, it's been a while! I have some good news -- ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) kitsche was published in the LiveJournal Anniversary Anthology! Basically, LiveJournal compiled a book of selected LJ entries to chronicle their tenth year anniversary, and kitsche made it! I received my copy of the book not too long ago, and I've scanned the pages below. Exciting stuff!
  
(click to zoom in)
You can purchase the book here. There are a ton more entries featured, many of which you'll probably recognize!
Anyway, these are long, long overdue.
