I've been meaning to make a journal for a while but general laziness put it off dramatically. But I guess while everyone else are popping up because of New Year's (and thusly telling me there are actually a few people still around) I'd might as well take the chance to do it now as well.
2010 was easily one of the worst years I've gone through, with two deaths in the family and the health of both of my grandfathers dropping severely. One can't even talk anymore due to the disease he has, the other is almost practically wheelchair bound because the nursing home he's in wasn't doing their job and haven't been taking care of him the way they should be. And thusly putting him on the verge of losing his home because of them.
All of that pretty much put me through a change for the worse with nothing but pessismism on my mind (and a delusional ex-boyfriend driving me nuts) but I'm hoping this year will be better and pull me out of this emotional slump. Though really, it really sounds like 2010 wasn't a good year for anyone.
One good thing at least came out of it. And that's getting my teeth repaired. The root canals are almost complete, and afterward I just need the caps. It's so nice being able to have sweet and cold stuff again without my teeth having a fit. +w+
And being to smile. It's so nice not having to hide it anymore, and being able to laugh without having to cover my mouth in shame.
On a different note, unfortunately I also had another fainting spell. Which was the first in like, seven years. ...but I know the cause since it was of my own stupidity this time. Good job, Mei. Good job.
I really have no idea if anyone is even still around here anymore because of the severe decline this place has taken, but I doubt I'll be posting here in anymore. The only reason I keep showing up is for the people I still know here since there's no other place to find them. Though I don't know if anyone else up and left somewhere. A lot seemed to migrated to that MangaBullet or wherever. But it'll be depressing to lose contact with anyone.
I've been spending my time on deviantART, as well as a roleplay on Livejournal called Paradisa. But I also have two LJs, for personal life and the barely used art journal, in which new sprites are kept. So people can ping me on those places if they wish.
I've also been working with original things more this past year or two. It's nice to be able to start doing more with characters like Sarius. Poor guy's been around for nearly ten years and he never saw much use until now.
And I've been gaming so much more now. +w+ For a while there weren't any games at all I wanted to play, but when I got Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner and Persona 4, that just kicked off me playing games almost nonstop. I can't even put Rune Factory 3 down currently, and having Kirby's Epic Yarn, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Devil May Cry 1-4 pretty much translates into "GOOD BYE FREETIME!"
... so anyway, I am pretty much curious on whether or not anyone else is still around. I'd really like to keep in contact, on MSN, AIM or otherwise. I haven't talked with people from here in a while. :(
TL;DR: 2010 sucked, I MISS YOU GUYS WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
