Hello all!

I've been on FA for just over seven years now and today I decided to do an experiment. I went through all the accounts I've been following and deleted anyone who hasn't updated their journal or submissions for over a year (which, funnily enough, would've included me), had blocked access, or had specifically said the account was abandoned.

Before doing this I was following 257 accounts. Afterwards I had just 192. That's right, a quarter of the people I was following are now inactive.

I'm kind of sad at how many people drop out of our lives without us noticing. A surprising number of these accounts hadn't been touched in 3+ years. One was even listed as "deceased". I didn't have the heart to unfollow that one. :P

For anyone who's interested I'm doing well. I'm working as a manager for a local chain of healthy eating restaurants here in Denver. I'm paying down some debt and saving money because I've been yearning to move back to the North Pacific; either Washington, Oregon or British Colombia. I miss it, both the climate and the people.

Other than that I don't have much to say. Hope everyone's doing okay!
