So as some of you may or may not have noticed, I've been pretty dead for a few months. No, it's not just because I don't want to work on getting my inbox back down to a reasonable number, though that certainly doesn't help. Mostly it's because I've been trying to avoid getting caught in wormholes where I'm like, "Well I'll just check real quick" and the next thing I know it's 3 hours later. Not only that, but y'know, work and school, my classic excuse. Not only that but I've frequently found myself not wanting to do anything because one of my cats has been missing and I think about him and get bummed out. What keeps me going is that he was spotted recently in a nearby town so I can worry less with the knowledge he's okay. And not only THAT, but I'm spending a lot of time with my boyfriend. Really that's the main reason I have been inactive on the internet lately, because now that my confidence is slightly renewed, I like to go out with people instead of lock myself away. I also have a bad case of spring fever despite winter having just stated. Already I'm anxious for the warm weather. I don't know if it's because we've had two really nice days or what, but I am really eager for the gentle warmth of spring to come again. Only, it's not going to last long. Where I live we have like three days of fall and three days of spring where you need a jacket and can leave the windows open, the rest of the time it's either freezing or blazing. But I'm getting distracted.

Really, where I'm the most active is my Quotev. Note me if you want to add me there. I'm also on Wattpad but I'm only there for like 2 minutes. I only really wanted another platform where I could post my stories. But I feel like I'm on Quotev mostly because my newest work has gotten a lot of praise that's gone straight to my head. My newest project is Dragon Boy, a fantasy story (of course) about a boy whose home economics project ends up taking him far away to a magical land where he and his classmates must learn to overcome their limits and live up to the expectations that come when one has a Familiar. So far it has been read by 163 people, which is a big ego-booster for me. Unfortunately this means I've been neglecting Sense of Something, or SIBFR as its nickname is. Recently though I broke my writer's block for it and have been fleshing out Chapter 20. I also went through and re-read a lot of it to determine that so far about 13 days have passed in the story. It took me 3 years to write 20 chapters and 13 days. What cheers me up about that is how it took Tolkien 12 years to write Lord of the Rings. So yeah it's okay if it takes you a long time to write. What's a bit ironic about my situation is how I have spent all this time on SoS and it's not as popular as Dragon Boy, which I've so far spent about two months on, I think. Either way I want to finish SoS first since it's taken over my life. Both stories have, in fact. Send help.

My cellphone is broken. I don't use it to access the internet and everyone who texts me knows I live in a house with a landline so it's no big loss. Save for one person who can't take a hint that you call my house because I don't like wasting minutes I could use to, say, call 911 or my parents if I have to. I mean I've lived in a house with the same phone number much longer than I've had a cellphone so I don't get what's so hard to understand, like really. And if someone else answers is it really so hard to say, "Is _ there?" and if that person isn't there is it really so hard to be like, "Okay, have _ call me back later!" Whatever that person ruined my life so I don't talk to them. But yeah my cellphone is broken. I can send texts, but no one gets them; it still takes away minutes. I can't receive texts or phone calls. I might be able to call 911, since TracFone allegedly allows you to get in contact with emergency services as long as you have a signal and the battery is charged, but I don't know for sure and I don't want to find out. This doesn't affect me other than it's just inconvenient. I just felt like complaining about it.

And I changed my icon yet again. Unlike the past two, which were meant to look like me, this one is an illustration of Kyle from Dragon Boy. I like the way it turned out so I'm using it.
