Hey, you! Yeah, I mean you!

OK.

Is this thing on?! Anybody still out there?!

I am ALIVE! Yes, sad sometimes, but here.

Things are going well in this new life model of mine, at least I think it is. Car is dying, the extra boarder is on the crazy side, but there's a lock on my door and I'm easing back into the gym. That is all fine! I also drive an hour to work and an hour home. That is less than fine.

Now, among the really important things to know:

I'm applying to teach abroad come August. Yeah, I know, teaching English abroad is for the young kids! Well, you know what?! I am young-ish. Also, I am single and childless. My career options are terrible and I LOVE being in the classroom, so why the hell not?! I am also not going to drop another couple of thousands to get a teaching credential. And I LOVE to travel and live in the World. Now, it may turn out that I hate it, but I've got to give it a go. I'm signing up for TEFL classes next month. The actual class-class start in July. I scared and excited, too.

ALSO!!!!

Eva Green has never been an actress that I thought much about. However, she is possibly the best reason to be watching Penny Dreadful. She's absolutely delicious!!

Oh, and have you read my book yet?! I need some reviews! I'm willing to send free copies. Let me know, will ya?! Help a sistah out!

Alive, but not very. I do still read here, but I rarely post these days and my Friends list is down to about 10-20 a day, from when it used to be at 50-100.

And hey, if you are single, childless, and lacking in obligations that would otherwise tie you down - then good for you on teaching abroad. I'm also single childless, so I say go do what makes you feel fulfilled. And Teaching Abroad seems like a great thing to do if that's what makes you happy. (And happy teachers serve others so well)

Hey you! Ever since I went to my brother's graduation in DC, I feel like I need to go back and visit you! Is that cray? Oh, fandom and the interwebz,

It's taken me a lot to get to this point, it seems. This place where I am fully embracing the things that I want to do and not holding them up too close to the light of what other people are doing or what society says that I should do. I'm excited and I'm scared all at the same time. I feel like even if I hate the experience, it's really going to be awesome.

ION, I miss fandom. I miss all the peeps and the discussion and the community. How in the world do you get that back?!

Not entirely. I've met up with LJ/fandom folks before. If you were making a special trip out here just to meet me, that would be kind of cray. (Because IIRC, you are not around the corner) But if you were already going to be in the neighborhood, and you had an open spot in the schedule, then not at all.

As to stuff you want to do - it's important to remember that it's your life and you have a finite amount of time... so you really ought to carve out time to do the things you find you should be doing...

And I miss fandom too. The thing is... it's out there. I just am not invested in or deeply caring about anything in particular to go seek it.
