OH GOD IT'S BEEN SO LONG WHERE DO I START?
It has just been...way too long since I've been on here. Everything feels weird and new, but I'm still managing to feel nostalgic.

First of all, I should start off with hello. Hello to all my friends, old and new. If you've miraculously added me during my period of absense, I'd like to thank you for deeming me worthy of your watch list and I look forward to getting to know you in the future. If you've known me forever, I thank you for still remembering me, I appreciate it infinitely.

Long story short, I'm back because I miss what I had here. After getting into a discussion about creative writing with a uni friend who is probably reading this right now,!, I started talking more and more about my own fiction and my past as a critic. From that moment on, I wanted nothing more for my past to make its way into my present, but there is always the underlying fear that my beautiful watchers have left me and I'm sitting here shrieking into an empty crowd.   

Along with the fear, I have - naturally - been busy with uni. I'm hoping that will change though, especially since I'm trying to dedicate tonight to organising my life and my free time sensibly and indefinitely. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

While we're speaking of university, I'll just condense the past four months into one word - perfection. I love my uni, I love my friends and I have two homes - England and Ireland. Hell, just a few weeks ago I was sitting in my room thinking, "I have friends who care about me in two different countries. Fuck, I'm the luckiest person in the world!". Suffice to say everything makes me happy nowadays, and I've had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people. I will soon have the greatest pleasure of choosing to live with the greatest people I've met here so far. Come October, I will be living with three fantastic girls who all love video games, writing and anime.

Housemate jackpot? HOUSEMATE JACKPOT!

I think what encouraged me in writing the most was the preparation process for getting my writing on deviantART. However, I haven't put anything online in ages because I've been afraid that, as I said, everyone's disappeared. However, if I do put anything online, it would be the greatest gift to me if you could check it out and leave feedback since I've been so damn rusty.

Also, if I do get back into critiquing, please note this - I am not a busybody, I am not overly opinionated and I do not believe that I am better than you. Once upon a time, I had a reputation for giving great and helpful advice - that is my only motivation. So if I randomly do critique you and you think I'm on my soapbox, that is not the case - I just want to help.  

I refuse to say goodbye, this is only hello.
