It's been HOW long??
Hehe, oops!
With all the talk that went on some months ago among my tumblr community about moving back to livejournal... for some reason I thought I had posted here more recently. I was trying to take note of all the things that had happened since I last updated this thing, and realized that- wow!- my last update was a lot earlier than I thought ( Read more... )

I love that you have guinea pigs to match your screen name! I worked at PetSmart for a few years, and I loved getting to see and interact with so many animals. I've never had a guinea pig of my own, but I hear they are wonderful pets - if taken care of properly. That's always a hard spot for me, when people rush out to get a small animal, thinking it will be easy to just stick it in a cage and stare at it from time to time. Nope! It's no wonder people use small animals as a gauge to see if a kid is responsible enough for a cat or dog, because it is a lot of work!
Hazel and Honey look beautiful! Do they sing for you yet? :D

Yes! I'm glad that LJ is still around for these sorts of purposes. I may try to convince some of my tumblr pals to come over here as well. A lot of groups, especially the role-playing community that I've been part of in the past, have been looking for an alternative to tumblr that provides better communication. My Gourry account over there is on an indefinite hiatus, but I'd love to revive him somewhere that I'm more free to write. ^_^
And the piggies are hard work, but they're so wonderful, it's all worth it! I'm thrilled to have found a method of fleece bedding which makes the cage WAY easier to clean than wood chips or other loose bedding. But the pigs also need to be handled with care, fed the right food, weight measured and nails trimmed on a regular basis... proper animal care is so important. Agh, I'm preaching to the choir here, I know, but I get so heated about that sort of thing, I can't help but go on and on.
But, boy do they sing! It's funny; Honey is the most timid of the two, but she's also the chattiest. She's always ( ... )

It seems like you're doing really well for yourself (aside from the injuries). I was almost afraid to look at this, thinking it'd bring up bad memories (or at least cringey ones), but instead I felt nostalgia and a bit of sadness (or regret, one of the two). It kind of makes me feel better about my situation in life right now to see someone else doing well.
I still remember what you said the last time you and I talked, and I saw a few things you posted elsewhere afterwards, so I know you don't have an entirely positive opinion on me. I was afraid to comment at first, and I've honestly rewritten this last bit many, many times, trying to find what I want to say, but I just want to ask one thing now: could I stick around one more time?

I have to say, I have a lot of respect for you being willing to leave a comment. I'm not trying to take a dig or anything- it really does make me happy that you're in a good enough place to be able to reach out.
It's been a while, and I've dealt with a lot of negative feelings about the past. But in addition to that, I've also been worried. (For totally selfish reasons, don't get me wrong,) I've hoped that you've been able to heal and move on; to find happiness in your life wherever it's taking you. It helps me to know that you're okay.
I don't mind if you continue to read my posts- I have no intention of blocking you or anything like that- but I'm really not interested in picking up regular communication. Just know that I do hope you're doing well, wherever you are. I wish you the best.
