You may or may not have noticed that I haven't been incredibly active lately—reading, writing or otherwise.
I feel like my spirit's been crushed. Every time it lifts just a tad bit, something else comes along and mushes it farther into the pavement. I'm being forced to live with my parents due to a lack of funds that is out of my control because I make so little. I've been working on world-building and plot structure for a game that my best friend and I are developing, but it seems that, now, he doesn't want anything to do with me and I don't know why. Every time I call him, he never answers, which sucks.
To make matters worse, I find myself unable to concentrate on doing anything creative because I'm tired all the time and I'm holding out hope that perhaps my friend is just busy and couldn't come to the phone any of the 32 times I called him over the weekend. I'm weeks behind on pony, but my father made me pull my personal TV out of my old room and put it in the living room so that he could watch his own shows, but refuses to let me record the one show I watch to the DVR; with a data cap and incredibly slow internet speeds, YouTube or torrenting is out of the question and I feel like I'm missing out on important stuff, which dilutes my efforts to write.
I've devoted the past week or two to learning to draw better because my friend and I agreed that he'd do the programming and I'd do the art for our game, but we all know how that's turning out now, don't we? In order to focus on my drawing, I've been staying out of the TwiDash Skype group, which means I haven't talked to several of my closest friends in what feels like forever and...
Man, I feel depressed.
Anyway, that's where I've been. I'm going to try to get the outline of my new fic finished this weekend and we'll see where everything goes, I guess.
Sorry for the rant.
If I knew where you were I'd bring you a bunch of home cooked meals, some money, and flash drive of all the latest episodes, along with a hug.
I wish I could help you out though, but even if I can't, hopefully things will start to look up for you eventually.
Keep staying strong, we're all rooting for you.

Thanks, DJ. I could use a hug.

Sorry to hear that man. Just take it one step at a time, and know that all of us readers and fans will be here when you have time to dive back in.
We are so having a chat about this later. I'm sorry I've been absconding from Skype a lot as of late, but I will be on around... er, 4 p.m. my time? You're a few hours ahead of me, so... 6 or 7 p.m. or something?
