Last time I wrote here, it was last year. New beginnings have come and passed, lives have been changed, things have been learnt. I, however, am still here, I promise!
Without further ado, here is a quick rundown of the past eight months in 5 breaths or less:
December hit us with a fair amount of snow, nothing major, and it soon melted. February through April it was all allergies and couples getting married, allowing me more 'me-time' that I did not want,as everyone seems to be busy with this thing called "married life". *shrugs* The saying about May flowers coming with April showers was wrong this year, and up till now everything melted, and summer seemed to arrive faster than expected, the heat melting May into June. This was the month the heat peaked, and it held stead all throughout July. A few family vacations happened somewhere in there (yes, I actually left the house for more than 4 hours at a time), and next thing I know, its August 1st. For those who do not know, my birthdate happened to fall on the 26th of August, 21 years ago. My birthday approached, and with it came the storm clouds. I don't blame poor April, August can be a bully and steal things, like in this year, all the rain. Java was picked up, as well as French (again), Italian, German, among other things added to my //TOLEARN list. That double slash was a reference to Java's //TODO comments, if you didn't catch it. My birthday stumbled upon me, nothing different than usual. a few "OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"'s from friends online (thanks for nothing Google >_>) and a couple presents, the usual "thoughtful gifts" from my mom, and the "practical gifts" from my step-dad. I did, however, get a jar of nutella :D. And now we find ourselves here again, August 27th, back at the blog. I'll be moving a few of the writings I've done in this period of absence over to here somewhere, so keep an eye out for that!
