...I hope it finds you well! [/MLP reference]
Why hai thar! Yes, I am back online again. Sorry about the long, long wait. It's been a hectic time, as you can probably imagine. Term has finished and Christmas has been and gone, and I'm finally back home in the warm again. Such a relief, I can tell you. I needed a break.
The holidays so far have been good - I've actually been busy, for once. My cousins have recently moved down here from up north, and are now living only a couple of minutes away which is great - means we've been able to see them more times in a couple of weeks than we have in the last couple of years. I spent Christmas with them and tomorrow we'll celebrate the New Year together. Good times.
I've also been lucky enough to see my wonderful friends many times. I missed them like ker-azy over the last semester. It's been so nice to indulge in some proper DMC and tea-side chats again. There really is no one who can replace them. And we've also had a special reason to celebrate of late: my darling friend smicket has just got engaged!!! Do go congratulate her, she (and we all) couldn't be happier.
The rest of the time, I guess I've been writing essays. Managed to get the 4th one written today. It's been a bit of a slog - ok, a lot of a slog. I don't think my brain's ever felt more exhausted and resilient to writing than it does right now. Today's efforts were painful, to say the least. And I've still got one more to go. And then all the re-drafts to go through.
I'm starting to get super worried that the quality's not great - these are the first essays I've written that are actually going to count towards my degree. So it's super-scary-important stuff! It makes me want to cry just thinking about it... So wish me luck for getting through that!

I've made a start on replying to comments already, so rest assured I will get to yours at some point if I haven't already. Sorry about the super-late replies! I've been useless, it's true. And when I'm through replying, I'll get started on the deviations - you guys have certainly been keeping my inbox nice and full. I look forward to it. (:

Much love to you all, readers - I hope you've had a great Christmas-tide and that you all have a super-awesome New Year!

Sorry I've been silent for so long! I feel like I owe you all a bit of an update.
Life has been massively hectic lately. Finally, second year of uni, and my life seems to have kicked into action. Ridiculous amounts of work are being done - I swear I trek to and from the library every other day. I've written 5 essays in the past couple of weeks, and our assessment titles have just been released, so there's another mad rush to get things sorted. But I'm getting involved in other things too, including working for the student tv station which is quite exciting. I get to use the snazzy equipment in their office, which is nice... And parties too -

[edit] Omigosh, thank you so much for the DD-love, guys! Totally out of the blue, and I'm so honoured. ikazon (https://www.deviantart.com/ikazon) is excessively wonderful for featuring me. :heart: [/edit]

Today is one of those days that I realise that I'm actually quite enjoying my life right now. And that's such a rare occurence I felt the need to share that with you all.
Uni life has been a bit of a whirlwind of late. I managed to come down with a cool flu-chest-infection-stomach-bug-thing during my first few days of getting here which was nice - kept me entertained [read: bed-bound] for a couple of weeks or so. I'm still catching up a bit now, on both work
I Live!
First off: I cannot apologise enough for my protracted absence. I never really intended to just 'disappear' like that. I needed a break from dA, that I knew, but I was always planning on having a formal hiatus, rather than randomly becoming MIA.
It's pretty hard to explain why I did this. The reasons don't make sense even to myself. Basically, I have been through a very rough time recently: there's been fear, meds, and a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears. I needed a lot of energy and time to concentrate on getting through everything. There were times when I was detached from reality, day-dreaming through life which were, quite honestly, pr

Just saw this - another DLD! This time on Liar, Liar. I'm most honoured! :blushes:
Also, I've just seen that the lovely Avallynh (https://www.deviantart.com/avallynh)'s piece in aeternum that I featured in my last journal was awarded a DD today! And yesterday the wonderful BaronAutumn (https://www.deviantart.com/baronautumn) got a DD on I Was Eros Once - so go and congratulate them both! :heart:

...And sorry for the hiatus that immediately followed my previous hiatus. I'm getting seriously useless at keeping up with the world these days, it seems.
But this time I'm going to try and keep on top of things. So be prepared for a load of seriously late replies coming your way...
Thank yo
