sailorpanda

08:08 pm - Shout-out to all! Happy holidays to everyone on my f-list! I am still alive and deeply apologize to everyone that's tried to email me or otherwise try to contact my sailorpanda persona. I have separate accounts set up for fun/fandom and personal/business and haven't had much time at all to devote to the fandom side of things so I've neglected a lot of things as I haven't checked those accounts in a long, long while. I do miss it, and the people I've met here and elsewhere. I hope to get back into things, though only time will tell. This month will probably be taken up with NaNoWriMo which I'm determined to meet the goal this year since I didn't make it last year. Then maybe I'll have time to play around with my dusty old fanfics. Any updated may still take a while though. I've had very minimal time to work on any fanfics as it's been a rough year - it's sad how many funerals I've had to attend this year, how many people I care about that have passed away. I've got though bouts of depression that left me not wanting to do anything but just appreciate time with those I care about. Losing so many people in such a short span of time brings to home how fleeting life is and how the people you love that are with you today may not be there tomorrow. So, when I've had free time from the several jobs I'm still currently working, I've been spending what time I've had this past year with family and friends just hanging out and making memories. It's been a mix of ups and downs and new experiences which do have good points apart from the prior mentioned bad as I've made new friends and been introduced to trivia nights, wine tastings (used to detest wine) and taking lots of trips here and there. Tried speed-dating (which was a highly scary experience), been found by lots of people I hadn't spoken to in a decade or more on Facebook, taking in plays and comedy shows (Jerry Seinfeld, yeah!) and now trying to make plans and save money for a 10 day tour of Italy I'll be taking in May next year with a friend. This year's almost over and, despite the emotional upheavals, I'm already missing it. Current Mood: nostalgic
