And Now for Something Completely Different

I have neglected you all. I'm sorry. I'm also aware that there are more people who don't read my blogs than there are people who do. I'm fine with this. I probably over share, anyway.

After talking to a recently upgraded friend, I realized that it had been too long. I love to write, or at least I used to. So it's time to do that a little more. In transferring my older stuff to a brand new, shiny, for-blogs-only site, I realized how much I sounded like a child in my earlier writings. Too informal, way too much profanity to be taken seriously, but some real gems in there as well.

So here's the deal. I will write more. I will write like a real grown-up. And I'll write about things that more people might just give a damn about.

Now, my overall, it's-been-a-year-since-I've-talked-to-my-invisible-friend update:
We lost my grandmother last June. I can't believe it's already been a year, or how much I miss her.
I bought a house! We've been here for almost a year now, and despite some frustrations, it may be the best decision I've ever made.
I've had several amazing revelations about friendship, love, family, and the truth in all of these.
I am back in Grad School, but am taking the summer off.

There is immeasurable detail to go along with each of those points. But writing all down would be exhausting and self indulgent. Those that have been along for the ride know the good stuff anyway.

So I've decided to write more...as school allows, and will link at least this post to Facebook so that those of you who want to keep up, can do so.

Enjoy.
