Not too bad. Getting myself familiar with the place once again. It thankfully hasn't changed too much.

I suppose it's changed some though. This site is pretty much the same at it's basics though. It's nice to see ya around again though.

Yeah, I like that it hasn't changed too much.

Thanks, I think it will be nice to be back. I've missed having a place like this to hang out.

That's nice. What all have you been up to?

Just being with my family, mostly. Raising my daughter, who is three and a half now.

How about you?

Whaaa? Is that a Foolio?? Oh man, how are you lady??

Hey lady~

I'm doin' good. Glad to see this place is still around, as well as some of the old gang.

How are you?

Good good! I'm just horrible at coming on, sadly. I lurk a lot and post (usually here) when I remember to.

Your kidlet is three already? Hot dang, I feel old.

I was horrible about getting on too. For like two years. XD

Yeah, three and a half, if you ask her. That half, always important. And so sassy, she is. You think you feel old? Ugh. I can't believe she is going to be 4 this year. It feels like she was just a little baby and now she wants to do everything herself.

FOOLIO!!!!! I'VE MISSED YOU! [glomp] and so has finny by the way. he asks about you all the time ;)

i can't believe your kid is already that old! that's crazy!! gosh we are elders in mene years lol

LINNNNNNY! Oh man, Finnegan, my love. I have missed him so. D:

I know, it is insane. She is growing much too fast, and I want it to stop.

I've missed this place so much. How have you been? Why are you still here? WHY DID I EVER LEAVE?!

i have been alright, busier than ever probably but things are finally dying down. let's seeeeee since we last spoke, i've moved a few times, and i'm moving again in a couple days, changed jobs i think...i'm prettys sure? i'm working with kids in the schools now, instead of in the homes.... ummm oh! i am back in school going for my master's in psychology and that shit's time consuming -_- ummm... i'm a jv high school softball coach for the second year now aaaand i'm still racing cars, this will be my eleventh year *cringes with that OOOOLD feeling again* ummm.... i have a new nephew and a new niece! jax is 2 and keira is like a month ummm.... hmmm..... i'm still on mene but i'm such a slacker and i'm alwas late getting the user's pick results out [gonk] i say i'm sorry all the time but i'm lucky the users still come to nominate and vote... i think that's it...

so what's new with you? other than a rampant toddler-ish aged babykins running amok of course :D last we talked there was a home/house issue and boyfriend stuff going on. OH and a dog! do tell!

hey p fool. Good to see you again. welcome back btw. didn't say it earlier. and you are looking alien lovely right now.

hey there, shadmi :)
oh my gosh you guys!! i have homework to do but i am so distracted by the super cute items in the event shop!!!

Oh man, that's right. Well our dog, a heeler we had gotten, Merlin, ended up having some pretty serious issues, which turned to be medical, instead of just plain aggression. We moved and it got worse, he got sicker, was losing his sight (and he was already deaf) so sadly we had to put him down at only a year and a half old. The relationship issues had stemmed from the stress of dealing with Merlin, so that was all sorted. We ended up rescuing another dog, Kevin, who is awesome and we've had him for nearly two years now? I think that's right. Uh, we just marked over two years in our new place, a trailer we are renting to own, real nice place, mostly. Uh, I stay at home, the SO just recently switched jobs, but all has gone pretty well so far.

Right now the SO is on a work trip in Memphis and I'm lost without him, since honestly I have no friends anymore and he was about the only one I talked to. Super lame, I know. He;s only been gone a few days, but it was extended and he will probably be gone another two weeks, which is super lame, because this is Oni's first time without him for so long as well.

I think that is all? It should be. Not all that much has happened in my life. D:

Thanks, Shadami. The little one "helped", I think her goal is to see how many things she can fit at once.

Linny is still here cause she's aMAZING!!!!! Deets on the move Linny, nearby? I'm glad you found a place!! And are you going to start training people in the school to do what you do?

Foolio----you say that not much has happened, but that sounds like a lot!I feel like not much has happened here either, but then I'm sure that's a big fat lie when I think of all the chaos and fun times. Too bad about your dog, but if he was in pain and it was causing so many issues.....

Yeah, I am still sad about the whole ordeal. It was seriously one of the worst moments of my life, because that had been my dog, basically. The one we picked out to start our family with, that was for us, not our parents, siblings, whatever. I'm just glad it didn't turn me off the idea of having a dog completely, because I adore Kevin, he is almost a perfect dog. <3

aw shucks [blush] and yea, i am moving thursday. i'm excited because i'll be living alllll by myself and i love it! it's pretty cheap for this area too, so it's pretty lucky that i happened to know a person who has a lot of connections [yes] and no [no] i haven't heard anything since that initial discussion about it. this kid is hard and because i have to run a shitty plan that doesn't make sense, it's just a whole lot of suck. it's hard to stay positive about it when you're bitter about it all the time. i don't really get any support and really, i'd be happy if they just figured out something to do with this kid. it really sucks because the kid i had just before this one, well he is in the same school so i see him and his new staff and she doesn't even like him. it breaks my heart because i really adored him. he used to be so goofy and silly and fun and now he is all surly and grumpy all the time. it really just breaks my heart because he's not getting good services anymore. [:/]

ah yes, merlin. i'm so sorry he had some serious issues. no matter how old the dog is, it's always hard to have to put a pet down *hugs* i'm glad that things worked out after though and i'm glad that you are happy with your new pup!
have you ever spent as much time away from your SO before?

gosh i have procrastinated all night and didn't get a lick of work done. i'm tired though soooo i might just procrastinate one more day ans scramble tomorrow night. it's all due by midnight [gonk] i was doing so well before this class but it suuuucks and i keep doing it to myself! this class is such a drag, i'm glad it's almost over!!

No, I haven't. It's super lame and was very last minute, so we didn't even get to prepare for it. Plus the hours are weird, so we can only occasionally text and a short phone call each day. He was supposed to come home on the 8th, but they just extended it to the next weekend, and we hate to turn down the money and opportunity. D:

Procrastination is the best! I told myself that I was going to get all this stuff done while the SO was gone and I've done... none of it. I looked at the list I wrote and I want to cry, it's so much and I feel no motivation at all. Especially considering I've a cold and want to just curl up on the couch and sleep.

What class is it that you're slacking off in, Linny?

aw man, yea that's hard because money is unfortunately a necessary evil. i hope the time apart goes quickly for you and Oni.

yea i hear ya on the sleeping thing. that's me allll the time. i think once i'm all moved i'll feel more motivated to move around because i'll have my own space and that'll make me happier. i am so over having a roommate [yes]

aaaand i'm slacking in two short (350 word each) assignments that are due tomorrow night. the class is called 'testing, measurement, and assessment' and i thought it would be better than it is because it's about psychological testing, how to write them, measure/interpret them, and all that buuut the professor has a bad habit of explaining things in a very convoluted way so i find her sessions frustrating more than helpful and even her written directions for assignments are too wordy and unclear. in a field that stresses being succinct and concise, she is seriously not a good role model lol she isn't bad though, just... too... something, i don't know

Yeah, it's been slow going for the three days he has been gone already. I have been sleeping on the couch, but I cannot keep doing it because my back is pretty unhappy. XD

Oh, not having a roommate does sound nice. When I was in college I hated the few months where I had to share a room, it's annoying when you like things done a certain way and they... don't.

That sounds like a horrible class. I had a teacher like that for just a basic history class, he added so many unneeded things and words and dates, and crammed them all together in a sort of unorganized way, and rambled on the whole class. Then the quizzes were long and poorly worded, which made for a terrible experience. He was proud that almost no one gets an A in his class. Hopefully you can power through this class and pass it!

oh gosh why not sleep in your bed? i love having the bed to myself [yes] lol

well we are technically apartment mates... flat mates, whatever word is used for it. there is noooo way in hell i'd be her actual, literal roommate [no] she smells weird lol like she wears weird smelling lotions and yea... it's weird -_-

wow that teacher you had sounds pretty smug for a jackass [lol] we don't have tests and things which is nice, but like, so we have three big papers due each term (each term lasts 10 weeks) the one for week five i got 40 whole points off because i missed a section that i was supposed to have but didn't realize it was even a section because her instructions were so wordy and hard to follow. that paper itself was worth up to 175 points, but still, i was two weeks late handing it in because i was so confused and stressed about other things so i was having a hard time focusing... she only took 10% off instead of the 20% for being 2 weeks late and i averaged a 70% on it. pretty sucky for something i didn't even realized i missed -_-

this is my ninth week of the term so i'm almost set. the 10th week has assignments that aren't graded, they are just recommended that you do aaaand i'm not doing it lol it doesn't affect my grade so why bother? haha the 10th week is always an ungraded week so i rarely do those "assignments"

I don't know, 'cause it's on the other side of the house and it's dark, and there is no TV back there and I'm paranoid. D:

Still, sharing spaces with people is lame. Unless of course it's like an SO/family situation.

Aww man, sorry to hear it about the paper. I used to hate when things like that happened. I failed a project in one of my classes because it was complicated and due at the same time as preparing for finals. I was like, this is bull and I don't need this. D:

Well congrats on being close to done with that part.
