Hi guys

[farla]

Despite available evidence, I'm still not dead.

Although actually if I was dead you guys would probably be the second or so group to know about it. So it's more that I haven't been kidnapped or in a coma. I'd hope, anyway, if I came out of a coma to find out Mom's told you guys stuff I'd be pretty upset.

Wow this is morbid.

So anyway, yeah. I've just been stressed about other stuff and avoiding everything. Sorry, no good reason for any of it. Now to get to work on all the stuff I have to do and people I have to contact now.

Speaking of things that aren't dead, the rats are still doing well despite all our hopes and plans. Does anyone know if we can leave them out once it gets below freezing? They're living in a pretty good brushpile and have access to plenty of nesting material, but they're elderly pet albino rats, so I'm dubious of their survival capabilities. Although they've been outdoing the chickens by a fair margin so far.

Oh, have you been reading my stuff? I would love to get reviews on some of my fics from you sometime. I've taken to posting them on AO3, because Sarasvati converted me. Though of course I'll still throw things onto FF.net if they are things that have their own category there. I'm kind of a glutton for exposure.

Speaking of Sarasvati, I am quite happy with how many good writers have come into the fandom since the last time we talked Homestuck fic.

Um. I should probably warn you that there is some possibility that that girl you had a bit of an altercation with has figured out who you are. She PMed me to complain about what a bitch you are, and I had to tell her that you're a friend of mine, and also that you aren't from the forums or formspring. On the other hand, due to a failure of reading comprehension, I think she may still believe you are the person who outed themselves in this post.

She is no longer on my friends list. She may be kind of bitter at me right now, and she would have every reason to be. So, yeah.

Yeah, I've been avidly following all the memes, but just doing "yay good story" level stuff. I'm thinking of going through and (nicely!) reviewing Homestuck stuff once I finish other obligations, so soon maybe?

Oh well, figured that was kind of inevitable and as you say, I'm not on the forums so it doesn't matter. You replied to me when I complained about the term bitch, and I went on to say that same stuff directly to her a lot anyway, and then she thought there was only one person so I figured sooner or later she'd condense everything into one person. I talked to her once before on the whatpumpkin community and she's pretty high strung/prone to misunderstanding even what I though were heavily qualified comments so it's unlikely we'd have ever gotten along even with my best efforts.

I do feel bad for her as a person, I could see exactly why she's playing the character that way but...god, hate that character so incredibly much and the fact bits are getting into general fanon even more, and her defense of it just made it even worse.

Yay!

And... yeah. Yeah, that pretty much covers it. I am really not proud of myself for a lot of reasons right now, and that's really all there is to say on the matter.

Sorry.

It's not your fault at all. I'd had my doubts from the beginning whether I could really be a proper friend to her. It's just as well the final straw was now and not another six months later when I'd have had even more to regret.
