I should learn to look at an empty sky, And feel its total dark sublime

So strange to be posting on DW/LJ: I feel like a foreigner peering around an unfamiliar city, not quite sure how the traffic lights work or what the road signs mean. But I like that feeling when I'm visiting somewhere new, and it's good to be back here, even if it's just a brief visit. So, hi!

The other feeling that's sheer bliss, as good as the

Hi hi hi!! :D :D :D I'm so happy to see you. :D <--- my actual face right now

[oxoniensis]

God, I've missed you all! It feel so good to grab some Finnish moments for myself and say hi, and I'm so very, very glad you're still around!

Eta: thanks iPad, but I really did mean fannish when I typed that, not Finnish!

*glomps you like a glompmonster*

HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

It's so good to see you. ♥

[oxoniensis]

Oh, I am so glad you're still around! It wouldn't feel right if you weren't! Are you well? And the family? Still vidding?

[deirdre_c]

I am well and family too! Oldest son is in college, younger son is applying to college this year, but the littlest is still small enough to curl up in my lap. All is wonderful! :)

And I just made a wee vidlet for Festivids last month, my first since last summer, so that was nice.

I was in London last August and although it was a family trip so I did not get together with any fandom friends, I was definitely thinking fondly of how proximate I was to all of my UK buddies, LIKE YOU. <3

I'm so happy life is good for you. Though it's scary having so many friends with kids in college (and kids leaving college and kids getting married)!

I can't remember if I was in London at all in August. I know I was in September, but August is something of a blank! Perils of old age, this forgetfulness! *g*

YAY, that is EXCELLENT NEWS! *snuggles* I totally grok how sometimes the words Just Don't Go, but I'm so thrilled to hear you had this experience again. :D :D :D

[oxoniensis]

I'm reveling in it! I wrote a bit more when I had a few minutes out this morning (though I could have kicked myself - I had free Wifi, and didn't have my ipad or iphone with me for my secret mission - I won't forget, though, because it's/you're very important). And I kept getting more ideas for new scenes, so I might even end up with a Proper Story!!!

[dreamlittleyo]

YAY, more writing! :D

*snuggles you aggressively*

[oxoniensis]

I'm oddly very okay with aggressive snuggles!

[yumiyoshi]

Glad to see that you're here (even if briefly) and that you're writing! *hugs*

[oxoniensis]

Thank you - it's very nice to be back for a bit! :-)

[helenajust]

So good to hear from you again! Do you post somewhere else these days, or just keep yourself to yourself? I'm glad you're writing again.

[oxoniensis]

Hi! :-)

No, I don't get on with other social media sites! I think I have about 1 post on Facebook, and now I can't even remember my log-in, a couple on Tumblr, and about half a dozen posts on Twitter, which is far too limited for me. It's just a matter of life got complicated/overly busy a couple of years ago, and I'm only just gradually finding ways to find time for myself and keep energetic enough to do everything I have to plus things I want to!

[helenajust]

Social media can take up an awful to of time. But I hope you manage to find the time to keep writing, and to pop back here now and then.

[oxoniensis]

Some people seem to spend so much time on facebook and twitter and the like (I'm not really sure what the latest ones are), and barely lift up their heads to see what's going on around them! But it's nice to keep in touch here, even if just a bit.
