I don't post often. But when I do, it's to shamelessly promote myself.
I figured I'd open this post up to say this: You know you've been gone from your family's house for too long when you walk in, smell cinnamon rolls, and instantly think your mom's drinking a vodka mix you like, rather than making baked goods.
Moving on, I figured I'd use this blog post to brag on myself- not that I'm an egomaniac or anyth- HAHAHA.
...
Almost got through that without laughing...
The big celebration news is this: One of the original stories I started to work on over two years ago, I finally had to gumption to get back to it. I'm editing it right now, and cleaning up SO many kinks in the grammar it hurts my teeth. It's a pretty hefty undertaking ('bout 240ish pages), so it's going to slow down my production rate on the Impossible Dream a bit. I'm not gonna abandon it, but it is getting put to the sidelines for a little while, until I get at least the first fifty or so pages of my work to halfway decent.
After those fifty pages, I'm probably going to take the chapters of Dream through the wash too, get them at least modestly ship shape from a grammar perspective, anyway. Maybe that might be something you guys can care about, haha.
...And I guess that's all I wanted to post about for the moment. This blogging thing is still pretty awkward to do.
I wonder what that means that I can easily blog and ramble about my thoughts and self in general. No idea.
That's awesome! I look forward to it greatly, wish you the best of luck, and--as ever--offer up my support in whatever ways I can. I've got a lot of responsibilities around here and projects to do anymore, but you were one of the first people to respond to this silly fool, and I won't forget that! Take it easy, mate.

I dunno, man, I've always had a bit of a hard time actually expressing my real feelings on paper. I can do characters just fine, but when i'm asked about stuff that's actually going on with me, or I feel strongly about, I kind of stumble on my words, haha. I remember all the times when I was younger having to get 'in character' for speeches on subjects I felt absolutely tepid about, and just having to get in the mindset of what the dude I was playing as would say. I'm sure that most of high school people labeled me as a card carrying moderate liberal conservative that was pro life and woman's choice. :P
And I appreciate the words of encouragement. When I get the darn thing a bit easier looking on the eyes, I'll let you take a gander at it if you want. Been wanting some feedback on it, and I know you're pretty good at that sort of stuff.

I've always found it somewhat funny that in RL, I can't speak in front of people at all...and I'm terrible at expressing myself. But in written format? I'm often impressed at the way I can explain things--and how easily I am just 100% open to pretty much anyone. Ask me any question, and I'll almost certainly answer it.
Heh, that's an interesting label--I was just the weird one who knew everybody (even though I didn't, really).
I appreciate the trust--I try, at any rate.
