I can be first to admit that my ability to keep people up to date on my whereabouts and happenings, especially here, are atrocious. There's a lot of things at play with the foremost being the notion that no one really cares if I had insomnia the night before, worked a full eight hours, and then promptly went to bed.
Those who are reading this do at least deserve some update to my wellbeing and what I have been up to since radio silence on Anthropodcast. Last we spoke; I was at the bottom of the barrel. I had no job, no future, really sucking in the depths of the worst recession of my known existence. I was so desperate. i took classes in small business ownership and web programming just hoping I could start something because it was becoming horrifically apparent no one wanted to hire a middling psychology graduate.
I got lucky. Don't let anyone in the world ever tell you this fandom doesn't do miracles. For every time I get upset about what some fursuiter did to a mayonnaise jar in front of some school children there are people who stick their neck out and make things happen. It also has transpired into the largest shift I have made in my entire life - one that I'm still trying to process.
I moved to California. Work found me on the West coast and it gave me the opportunity to be with Sabrekitty, my long-standing, long-distance girlfriend of mine who has been mentioned and present in Anthropodcast. We moved into a cramped, expensive California apartment. Most of my stuff still remains in Georgia as well as a bunch of my friends who were ripped from my life in only a short few days. I miss them terribly - even now I'm tearing up a little because I truly miss my friends especially those who I have spent so much time with and who have went through so much with me. I intend on coming back for at least a week this spring.
So now, I'm working. I have a new car. I have a bunch of fish. I have been lazy on my podcast for various reasons I'll get to later. I've been tweeting @flaintastic so you should watch. I've gotten fatter and am trying desperately to get thinner. I finally went to the doctor and the dentist and have them shake their heads in disappointment for my neglect. I've started taking voiceover classes for fun and hopefully for profit and have been studying up on what I can do to grasp onto a silly dream.
I apologize if I have rambled. I haven't been sleeping well as of late so my post is quite incoherent. I'm going to try and update you all when i can and keep you informed. I have some new ideas for what I want to do in the fandom. I hope that those of you who gave up on me will give me another shot and those who still have faith in me to let me try and do something I love.
Again, I ramble. Good to get this out. You have a good night, I’ll get some well earned sleep, and I'll update you in the next few days without the brooding, cryptic tone (I hope).
KISSES
