I'm glad you're alright. I hope the rest of your year goes better!

This seems like it's been a really rough year for you. I hope you're doing well.

Holy crap! Your life sounds awesome! Lets be friends.

Oh God... I stayed up all night in 7th grade reading the first book while my best friend read the sequel. I'm honestly ashamed by how much I liked it then. But on the other hand, we used to have so much fun staying up at night and talking about the mythology behind the books, theorizing about the nature behind the vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters. Sometimes I still think about it. The romance was terrible but the world had potential behind it.

Me too! I was worried they had forgotten about me.

I envy your calm year.

My apartment caught fire, my niece was hospitalized, my nephew was born, my brother went to prison, my sister got clean for the first time since she was 14, I adopted a hedgehog, and I'm about to move across the country -- again.

Thank you for posting this! I kept wondering why nearly every website I went on said "adobe flash blocked." I was so irritated.

In a much, much tamer personal example; I have to buy my contacts from Europe because they don't require a prescription like retailers in the US and I can't afford to go to the ophthalmologist.
