*hackwheeze, dusts off journal*

GOOD AFTERNOON. I know I have been MIA for about... *checks watch* A YEAR, or more, but I do indeed still live, and I do indeed still create.

I have been swallowed up by RPing on livejournal and haven't come up for air in a very long time, but it's really fun and it gives me a chance to stretch my creative limbs. It's also helped me a lot with improv storybuilding, which is a useful skill for a DM.

To quickly recap the past year in RP and RL:

Joined a game last May and stayed in it for about 8 months. It became a home and I developed a family. Game stopped rocking, we all left and joined a myriad of other games that didn't quite measure up for various reasons. During this time I graduated. Oh wait, just kidding I didn't. That's a LONG story that I won't go into, but I have only one degree right now, the other is 4 credit hours away.

DnD during this time came to a near standstill until the end of winter term when I finally had enough free time to spend evenings gaming again with everyone, though I still had to excuse myself from time to time to finish up everything I had to do for school.

This summer I settled into two games with my RP family and am quite content at just staying in these two laid-back games. I'm also looking for work, with a few prospects at various retailers and am waiting until winter term to take my final class to get my second degree. I bought a new RPG system and started a campaign last night with a brand new group of players, and so far, success.

I mostly blog on LJ these days, since it's easier for me, but if I do recap what happens in rps in prose form, I will post pages here.
