Wowsers!

Hey! So it's been a while, huh? Here I am over on Dreamwidth now instead of LJ, and have dragged all my old shit with me - which led, of course, to me reading the old shit, and laughing over a lot of it, and feeling like it was proper ages ago, and that some of it was prescient, and then being massively intimidated by HOW DO I CONDENSE ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THEN INTO A COHERENT POST?

I don't think I can.

So instead I think I will probably catch up with all the things in due course over a long period of time in the format of Flashback posts, which I will probably tag as FLASHBACK for ease of use, and I'll write them as and when they come to me or if something triggers a discussion that's related to a flashback thing that I never posted about at the time and so on. Takes the pressure off, is in keeping with my typical stream-of-consciousness unstructured stylee, and allows people who feel already caught up to avoid flashback posts which may be about, you know, boring shit like That Time I Was In A Hospital And They Took A Baby Out Of Me and suchlike.

In the meantime, a super quick recap of Things That Have Happened That I Might Post About Sometime:

• I Went To A Hospital And They Took A Baby Out Of Me
  • That Want Kind Of Badly And Sucked *Quite* A Bit But Everything Was OK In The End But I Still Don't Ever Wanna Go Through That Again
  • Then It Was Kind Of OK Very Briefly
  • Then It Was Pretty Bad In Lots Of Ways And I'm Not Sure I Was Entirely Mentally Well And I Should Definitely Have Done Something About That Sooner
  • Things Are Looking OK Again At Last, Thank God
• I Am Still In The Job Of Soul-Sucking Suck, But I Have A New Boss Because The Last One GOT FIRED And OMG YOU GUYS I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A POST BECAUSE FUCKERY, SO MUCH FUCKERY
• My Estranged Sister From My Hostile And Dysfunctional Dad's Side Of The Family Found Me On Facebook Despite Having Been Blocked For Years And Finds Me A Valid Person Because I Have A Baby Now, And I Told Her To FUCK OFF But It Gave Me So Many Complex Feels
• I Currently Have Houseguests Including Two Children Under Three And I Don't Know How I Have Managed To Stay Sane These Last 9 FUCKING WEEKS, But They Are Leaving This Week and GOODBYEEEEEE, GOODBYEEEEEEEE, WIPE THE TEARS, BABY DEARS, FROM YOUR EYEEEEEES BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY FUCKING SICK OF LISTENING TO ONE OF YOU CRYING AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT
• One Day I Will Dance Again, But In The Meantime I Keep Trying To Go To Dance Things And Sometimes It Works And I Have OPINIONS On What I See, And Sometimes It Doesn't Work And I Have FEELS About That.

I am also attempting a craft thingie which I will probably bore you guys with pictures of because I am kind of super proud of it right now (it involved SEWING! And also glue gun, because fuck that) - I have LuthierSis's wedding coming up in like 2 weeks and I am embellishing a fascinator to make it MORE AWESOME and make it match my shoes and handbag. As one does!

I've missed you guys.
