HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

To each and everyone of you, may 2009 bring you much joy and prosperity!!!

I can't say I'm sad to see the back of 2008. It's been a big year. A hard year, really. So, here's to 2009!

Most of you are yet to see the New Year in, so however you plan to spend the day/night, be safe and enjoy the company of those you love and hold

So, apparently the world may well end tomorrow. Or, it may not. No one can be quite sure of this.

Now, I'm not one to buy into discordant scientific claims that the world may end, but I do find it interesting the reaction that is generated when you tell someone that the world may end in a day.

On Friday night at 9.30pm our six year old black Labrador/Rottweiler cross, Draco, died ( Read more... )

A little over two weeks ago I decided I'd try to reread all six Harry Potter books before the release of Deathly Hallows. I never thought I'd get through all six in such a short time frame however I surprised myself and when I closed HBP on Friday night I knew it had been worth it ( Read more... )

Gosh. I miss this. I really, really miss this. It's been far too long since I was last here ( Read more... )

So!

No more 'maevy'! Yay!

I always thought I'd feel a twinge of regret if I ever changed my username, but I don't. I've finally broken that last tie I had to a time I would much rather forget, and it's surprisingly freeing.

So, 'maevy' is now tortietta, which is going to take me a while to get used to, and I'm going to have to re-haul a few of my icons ( Read more... )

Hi.

I miss LJ. I miss all of you. ♥

I've tried catching up. I've often thought about posting something, but I feel lousy just thinking it because I know I don't have time to find out what's going on with all of you. I'm going to try changing that. I'm still here, and I still care. It's just been a long, hard, busy year ( Read more... )

I need to take a break from LJ. I'm not going to go into long explanations. I've hardly been around for close to three months now, and unfortunately this is just the next step. I don't know when I'll be back, or even if I'll be back, but I don't want to lose the friendships that I have here. I'm going to miss you all. Be happy and be safe, and ( Read more... )

I feel like a fish out of water at the moment, and I have a thousand things going on, but no mattered how crazy things are I can't forget the birthdays (albeit, all slightly belated) of three wonderful people.

Happy, HAPPY birthday to shoemaster, akscully and kairos103! I hope you all had wonderful days and that the year to come is as wonderful as you all are. Much love to ( Read more... )

Oh man. Wish I had time to think. Seriously, my head is like mush at the moment ( Read more... )
