I am not the same as I was when I wrote all those stories a decade (what?!) ago.

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

But it presents an interesting challenge I had never thought about back then. How do you try to tell the same story to bring it up to (hopefully) better, later standards?

The short answer, I've learned, is that you don't. Every story is a capsule, a capturing of your voice and what you had to say at a specific time in your life.

Hey, all. I guess I'm in a reflective mood, and I thought where I'm at might be something relatable for a lot of us.

Hey, everybody! I missed this community. I've kind of felt like an outsider, since I haven't watched the show since the end of Season 4, but I thought I'd check in on my old stomping grounds. Some familiar faces still say hi from time to time, after all.

what if tow used a meme joke to break his long silence?

So, yeah, sorry about that. It's my last semester (hopefully) of college, so I've been pretty busy. To be honest, I've also been really lazy with my free time and spent more time on Youtube than on here or on Skype. Sorry that I've been a butt.

Yes, this is mostly an excuse to discuss a visual novel I recently played, but partly to dissect it as research. See, I've wanted to make my own visual novel for a while (probably for free or under $5, because it'd be more for fun than for a profit motive). I really like reading/playing visual novels, and I like experimenting with my writing, so writing my own visual novel seems like a natural progression of these two things. I have a few artist friends and a couple of people I could probably

Step one: take a pencil and a piece of paper.

I'm taking a creative writing course this semester, and it is easily the highlight of my day. I get to talk about writing, reading, and books! This is all so very relevant to my interests.

Hank Green posted an interesting video on Friday about identity. I even subconsciously stole the title! (You can watch it at this link.)

So, the ball will drop shortly in Times Square (not where I am, but in the same time zone). Couples will kiss, confetti will happen, people will drink themselves into a stupor...

And me? I'll be here, where I always am, curled up in bed and hunched over my laptop. I think it's a fitting way to end the year, seeing as that's how I spent a large part of it.

As I type this, I am laying on the floor of our guest bedroom. Well, on my mattress, which is on the floor of the guest bedroom. We didn't fully set up my bed.

We're in the process of painting my room, then we'll replace the carpet, and then I'll be back to my room. My belongings will stay in boxes until we sell the place, and they might stay there for longer, depending on when we sell. There's really no point in unpacking if we move in May and I get my own place in June.

Okay, so I guess I haven't been silent that long, but I have wanted to get something out there, since I've been considerably less active than normal in that time.

So, updates: (Page break inserted so I can figure out how many people actually read these things)
