Lightning-quick update

Hewwos, mew... sorry it's been so long, I know a lot of you have been wondering where I've been... well, stuff came up. What stuff, you may ask?
Well, mew, normally this time of year is final project season anyways. I expected to be kinda busy now. I also expected to be online, namely IRC, a hell of a lot more. What I failed to expect is, for reasons that I'd rather tell people individually, my family is selling the small house that I've pretty much lived in with my brother for oh, the entire time I've been in school. In case you haven't figured it out yet, mew, this is kiiiiiiinda a big deal. It's twofold, really ... one, I've been busier than usual, even for this time of year, because I need to spend extra time cleaning and packing things up, and given that I tend to packcat books... yeah. Two, my parents are around here more than usual, because they're packing stuff up too, and going through the house and cleaning every last inch of it, so my privacy has ... wait ... what's privacy mean again? O.o
Aaaaaaaaanyways... Finals week is the first week of May. I'll still have research to do after then, but the big projects are due on or before that week. Of course, that is also the deadline my parents have given me for getting alllllll of my stuff packed and organized and cleaned out.
Some other notes ... classes are going well, busy as usual, but I'd even argue they're slightly less busy this semester than they have been in the past. O.o The first half of the semester was overwhelmed with dance; I kinda sorta committed myself to 20min of dance choreography to learn in about five weeks. March had some quiet moments, including Spring Break, which I think was most of the opportunities that I did get online, but not long after break was when I found out the house was getting sold. Oh, and I have a girlfriend now. I love her dearly, but I should point out (given that I've been accused of it several times <.<) that no, she is not the reason, or even a big reason, why I've been scarce online. It's been me trying to be *le gasp* a responsible adult that has kept me just sliiiiightly too busy to get online.
In the next few weeks, I'm going to try to get online more often. No, really, I mean it this time. I do dearly miss the people I used to talk to on a regular basis. But at this point in my life, I need to do a serious effort in organizing all of my stuff, and that even includes organizing and controlling my social and internet life. Like, I haven't been on f-list in ... how many months? I have two each of AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and Skype accounts, and - I am not making this up - at least six ACTIVE e-mail addresses. I have three computers, and a total of five hard drives on my desk. Even my PORN needs organizing, mew. In short, I have a lot to take care of and I need to make my life simpler, and keeping my friends is a MAJOR MAJOR part of it so I'm going to try my best to try harder now, okay?
Final note: if you want to talk, I *highly* advise starting with lilly.kitty.1988@gmail.com. Unlike this site, and the myriad chat accounts I have, I DO check that e-mail multiple times daily, and I'd love to hear from some of the people I've been missing so much. Also, if you know of any free programs that are good at handling buttloadtons of varied chats/e-mails/updates, I'd love to know about them.
Oh, time to fold some laundry, mew.

Try Trillian. I know it does AIM, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, IRC, Skype, probably more... I haven't used it in a while but the site says it also does Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google Talk, Jabber, and POP3/IMAP mail... free too.

Trillian is really buggy, so is pidgin, but Pidgin is A LOT less buggy, trust me on this I field tested them both for a few weeks. I have skype, msn and steam, Lilly if you wanna add me just drop me a note? I'm actually far more responsive on those than irc.

Sorry to hear you are so very busy but I do understand the situation, hope everything goes well with what you have to do. *Hugs*

OP
I used to use Pidgin...for some reason, when I first switched to Win7, Pidgin point-blank refused to work, so I tried some other things, like Quassel for IRC which generally worked really well but had some serious flaws (it's probably the only windowed chat client I'm aware of that DOESN'T HAVE SOUND). Also, while I have a Steam account, I'm not likely to be sharing that with anyone simply because it's a family account and I'm paranoid as hell. Tigris, MSN would work best under those choices but I'll have to add you when I get around to it. And thanks all of you for understanding, you know I overworry about all this so much...
