... Not that I've really been on here as much as I used to/want to be. But the reality that I am in over my head in life catches up to me on a daily basis. Most of you know I'm in my final stretch of graduate school so that I can get my Master's Degree. I have postponed the test twice because I am just not ready... so, sadly, I won't be getting my degree this semester either. (I only get two tries at the test). Ugh, and we just can't move on with life (or just plainly, MOVE) until I pass this ty thing.  (SOOO HARRRRDDDDD). The hubs and I are trying to figure out just WHAT THE to do next, but it's all hanging on my success or fail of this program. //ugly sobs

So... I need to get my together like a real grown-up, is what I'm saying!! With my final research paper due EVER *hooray* on 4/19 and a final on 5/1, I will probably feel slightly more sane (SLIGHTLY) so maybe I'll have some update ideas around that time. I have no idea. Maybe not. At any rate, I'm going to be pulling away from el computer for awhile. So, technically, just consider everything on hiatus.

I wrote a 2min one-shot the other day and posted it here, if you haven't read it. (thanks to you who did!). I kinda feel like hanging around AFF to write is a waste of my otherwise semi-valuable time (valuable in terms of turning gray in front of legions of books). That one-shot took me a long time to write and many sacrificed brain cells died in its making, so I felt kinda bummed. Anyway, boo hoo to me~ (//not)

That and, since the year I joined AFF, I've lost touch with so many people who have just moved on, dropped off the radar, or got preoccupied with their own real lives, so I feel lonely when I'm here sometimes. I see a lot of other people complaining about the lack of quality writing on AFF and it gets annoying 'cause some of us really try hard, ya know? Anyway, that's a pet-peeve of mine.  

I really hate change, and I really hate missing people. :(  If you're even reading this - those who I once talked to all the time - I hope you guys are doing well. And for those of you who are reading this who feel **I** am one of those people, I really am sorry. I'm not usually a flaky person and I am not prone to time-mgmt issues as I have been suffering as of late. (even if I don't talk to you as much, I still care!!!)

So... I told myself I would just limit my online exposure for the next few months instead of dramatically cutting myself off completely (my last resort if need be); I am still accessible in other ways (limited email, Tumblr, Twitter, FB, SFI, Kakao/Line), and I'll periodically check my AFF accnt too. Okay, that's my rant for now. I started updating "Reborn for You" last week but got stuck, so maybe I'll get inspired while reading "Sartor Resartus" (lolololololololololololololol Thomas Carlyle is rolling in his grave); and I sitll want to finish Land Mines, plus work on Red Light D, but I don't see it happening soon. Sorry. 

Bye bye for now~
