It's been pretty dead around here, and I suppose with good reason. We've all been very busy as of late it seems! So I figured I'd touch base with everybody, see what we're up to, and take things from there. (This may also be a litmus test to see who's the most ready to respond to RPs and the like, and whose topics I should prioritize, but disregard that presently) I've been pretty busy as of late. Church hopping between 3 or 4 churches means that instead of one church adding me to the roster, I've instead had a preaching circuit of three times that. So even though they each use me less than my home church, it totals to a lot more time getting poured into it. I'm enjoying it because it's great to serve the Lord, and it's proven a great boon to my public speaking and essay writing skills, but it has taken a big chunk of my time out. Other than that, I've been working on making new friends up here. Made a few, made a few more and discarded them once I realized they weren't good news, etc. It's a bit rough to move to an area with nobody you know, but I've been coping. Speaking of which, in mid-April I had to take a week of creative time and work on setting up for DMing my first D&D session. It went quite well and went over excellently with the players, even if the plot did go horribly off the rails. Really, though, having dealt with you guys, I've learned to cope with that quite well! So, how about the rest of you? I hope you all have been doing well as of late.

I'm working and also slowly taking over MSPABooru, which became my big hobby site in the past few months.
However, I am ready to spring into action to complete The Mole whenever the players decide they want to play. I am also ready to spring into action when I receive a PM from Lee.

I've been working, had my exams and i'm done with classes until fall semester, so that's all cool. Also been waiting on a post from blood in Past Whitefall and also pondering who might replace who was originally going to be the second person in my Catalyst Earth RP. That's about it really...

I went on tour for a month in Europe with my band. I came back to no shitty job so I started a screenprinting + etc business. So uh, if you need t-shirts or pins or anything, you should like, hire me. It's kind of taking up all my time. MY LIFE IS SO THRILLING

let us revive this thread since it has been a while, plus 2015 is closing out. So what had everyone been up to the past couple years? As usual, I have been working, but I changed jobs since my last update due in part to being bored and partly because my then ex-manager wanted to be my manager again. Best decision to drop my cushy enterprise job for the fast pace life of then startup Uber. Learned more on my first six months of having to jump in a parts of the stack than I did in my 2 years in enterprise. the downside is just how busy I constantly am. Also Halloween and new years eve aren’t fun anymore because they’re our biggest times of the year. I moved up to San Francisco proper because it turns out I really fucking hate commuting, and my coworkers are not only ridiculously smart but cool, too, so I’ve gotten back to occasional partying and being kind of social. Bonus updates: - I’ve joined a rum club and now act like a wine snob with rum. - I started playing DnD and play a handsome wizard based on Tom Brady. My first session I put the team on my back in the fourth quarter and soloed a kobold patrol before they could report our position to the rest of the army, finishing it all off with a ridiculous roll on a longbow shot off the edge of the map - I am one of if not the most infamous chat troll at work. I found out I had fans last year when I overheard some people trying to find me on a work trip. - I started using twitter and it is kind of neat - I’ve top commented two reddit threads - I got like really into mechanical keyboards and fountain pens. I wouldn’t be surprised if I dropped a total of $1k on those hobbies. - I went to my holiday party with three girls and went home with none of them because you know some things never change - I have a cactus named Petra Arkanian and she stabs me a lot when all I want are high fives. I had a succulent named Sir Oliphant but I think the humidity from my radiator killed him

Welp, in my neck if the woods, I haven't been up to much in the grand scheme of things. -I've landed a job in Human Resouces, so I now have a semi-desk job -I've become an active Rennfest proformer and have befriended a number of traveling Rennfest bands. -I'm in the process of starting up a 5e D&D game in my area and its proving to be harder that I thought it would be. -Sea shanties have become a big part of my life whenever I'm bored -I'm a generally boring person.

- I'm nearing the home stretch of my time here at MCAD! It all kinda feels like it went by in a blur and yet still feels like an eternity until I'm finished - I live in a cozy little duplex with two friends and my boyfriend, it's nice I guess - I've landed a cool little internship with a local publisher (2dCloud) and considering that I want to go into publishing when I'm done with school, this is a really neat opportunity to get my feet wet - I've just recently acquired my own domain and website, and I've also been posting my work on this here art blog- uh, I collect Monster High dolls I guess. I am also a Monster Hunter enthusiast - my pals and I have big 2016 plans to get an art collective up and running and we're gonna try and table at cons soon and (in my pal's case) build a proper web presence and get our work out there. mostly the goal is we're gonna work on our hustle big time - that's it idk dude

Hmmm... let's see how I can summarize this up a bit...
-finally am recovering somewhat from emotional trauma I suffered at the end of 2013/beginning of 2014, as well as learning to live with the physical damage that whole mess caused me (well, trying is the keyword; heart problems that were aggravated by stress suck no matter what ya do)
-during the summer, I got free of an intensely abusive job that I suffered being stuck in for 9 agonizing years
-gotten a little better at not procrastinating on cosplay work and got one of my dream cosplays semi-done (to the point of being able to wear it, though it can't be called finished until I get some important parts of it that I'm missing and re-do the shirt for it)
-made a few new friends that've been helping me get over depression and confidence issues, among other great things
-got tired of trying to bend over backwards for old friends who obviously don't give a fuck about me anymore, so when any of them go and unfriend me on facebook outta the blue (as several have in the past several months), it doesn't bother me that much anymore (though, to be honest - getting blocked recently by a longtime friend who's been listening to dumb shit from an ex-friend of mine wasn't that easy to deal with... but life goes on)
