hey everyone. I am so sorry for the unexplained absence. i had a very serious family emergency a few days before christmas, so not only did i miss the event

but i missed real life christmas and new years as well.
one of my sisters was in a terrible car accident during a big snow storm we had here, and suffered head trauma so severe that she was unconscious for 2 weeks. she has been in the intensive care unit up until last night actually, but she is still in the hospital and will be there indefinitely as they work on reteaching her basically everything. fortunately she has retained a lot of her memory, which is great, but she doesn't act like her old self at all.
i know i don't have to explain all that, but you guys are all great and always so supportive so i don't mind sharing a bit of my crazy personal life. I'VE MISSED YOU ALL!!!! and since she is doing much better and not at risk of dying anymore, i have been able to spend more time out of the hospital and have been getting back to my regular life too. since it's already tuesday night, let's just keep nominating and monday we will have voting again.

i'll update the nominations now! thank you all for keeping the thread alive! i hope you had a great FOWN!
