spinelstarHelloooooo my loves!!! :D
It’s been what, probably five or six months since I’ve done anything vaguely related to LJ? I am soooo sorry for my long absence, but there were just a ton of things about myself I really needed to work out. I’m still working on it, of course, but now at least I feel like I’m getting somewhere. And I’m going in the right direction.
I’ve been getting a lot of support and connecting with people at my church, specifically the young adult group, which was one of my biggest goals after I got back from Japan. It’s been great. I went in hoping mostly just to make friends, but it’s ended up helping me so much more than that. I feel like I’m really starting to get to the point where I’m not just half-assing my relationship with God anymore. Anyway, that’s all I’m going to say about it because I don’t want to be annoying… But I do want to add that if anyone ever has any questions about Christianity or the Bible I’d love to try to answer them.
So I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy, and plan on continuing to do so. I haven’t been looking for a job yet. My mom’s starting up a non-profit costume rental business for local theaters, and I’ve been helping her with that. Basically we’re consolidating a few different costumers’ collections into one huge computer database for easier rental. So… a lot of data entry. Also, I told her that I’d like to learn how to sew, so she’s started taking me to classes. Other than that, I’ve been doing a lot of reading, and now I’m trying to self-teach myself guitar. And I’ve been trying to go to the gym more, and Mom and I are thinking of starting a diet.
My sister’s still tweaking her book. She’s going to a writer’s conference in a couple of weeks, and her plan is to send out query letters in February (apparently that’s a good time to send them, when agents aren’t too busy). So I’m anxious to see how that goes.
I’d like to get back into RPing, but it’s starting to look like I might only be able to do so once or twice a week. If nothing else, I’d like to drop into crackchat once in a while. I miss you guys! How has everyone been doing??? Please, babble about yourself for a little while in the comments if you have the time. I’m really anxious to hear what everyone’s been up to. :3
What have I missed?

As far as RP house-cleaning is concerned, word to what Cam said -- the game will be moving to Dreamwidth, and it's really simple to import any and everything from LJ. (There are several helpful back room and mod posts discussing the move, the logistics, and how to tweak your Dreamwidth layout, should you prefer a custom one.)
Hope you're enjoying a phenom week!
