Back Once Again

To all and any who may be listening, hi and thanks for your patience! As the title says, I am back and posting, or at least trying hard. Wonder if I should like, I dunno, resolve to post something here once a week. I'd probably fail if I did, but hell it might feel good to bitch at a computer screen one day of the week. Who knows, right? Either way, summer is over and college (everybody cheer despondantly) is back, if not quite in full swing yet, and a new year beckons. My God that is frightening.

Has anyone else noticed how fast the summer went by? Cliché, yes, but it seems like yesterday it was May, and then BAM! back to the grindstone again. You know, I can almost remember when time started speeding up for me. I think it was...two, three years ago and things just flew past me at this frightening pace. Last person I spoke to about it said that most people experience that between 18-21 so, joy of joys, I'm right on schedule for a change. Ain't life swell? You know, now that I think about it, I should be worried, I mean second year is meant to be waaaaay harder than first, as it actually counts towards your degree. That hasn't quite hit me yet, but give me a week or two and it'll catch up. You know, it always does.

I actually think that aside from a few hitches, I'm coming back in fine style. I've been catching up with a few things online, made my (rather subdued) comeback to writingforums.com, here, and one or two other places. Still, I have a bit of a way to go before I can really relax. Let's see...I have one revised version of a poem to post, another story idea to play around with and three roleplaying scenarios are waiting on my input. Hmmm, I'll try to get something done on those before the weekend. I've also started exercising again, which is great. I'm sticking with sit-ups for now, but I'm hoping to fit in maybe an hour of weights as well once things settle down a bit. I'm actually a little drained creatively at the moment. Maybe its just the volume of things I'm taking on, or maybe I got all the poetry out bfore christmas. Meh, all I know is I haven't had many great ideas to throw around in my head since summer, but hopefully I'll be able to fix that soon enough. Making time for these things is a skill I'm going to have to re-learn, and fast. One more little note on the to-do list. How long is that by now anyway? I shudder at the thought. Should I post that poem here? Maybe, but lets be honest, you guys wouldn't read it and I'd just be filling lines to make this look nice.

What I can't believe is how September 11th almost passed me by this year. Seriously, all these documentaries and movies, commemorations, all of it. Straight over the head. Where were you when you heard about that? I was on a bus. My dad was picking apples, would you believe? Not really much more you can say about that without either offending someone or going on a Bush rant, so I reckon I'll cut that little line off right here. Yep, right here. This isn't working, is it?

Either way its great to be back here, basking in the cold, heartless silence of the internet. Maybe you'll hear more soon. Stay tuned!

Sureia
