I had intended to write a "what I've been up to" since I apparently abandoned this LJ for over five months. But then my Chihuahua, Yazoo, passed away yesterday while I was holding him and I slid into something approaching but not quite at a mental breakdown.

He was 12, and had health problems. But he was my little baby and I'll miss him.

This journal is 8 years old today. Happy LJ birthday to me!

Honestly I don't have the brain power to draw things anymore. So... that didn't last long.

I'll probably be taking a "mini hiatus," AKA not posting much for a little while. I'll still be reading though.

Also, it's 1/21! Aw yisss!

I forgot to do my Year in Review before. So here it is:

January: First line of the first blargh post of the month! GO!
February: As far as I'm concerned, it's still the 1st. So there.
March: Unfortunately I cannot find a non locked version of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On," sorry!
April: What I Did Since I Got Home At 5
Mary: Um this is ridiculous.
June: FACT: I am seriously freaking out about starting my internship tomorrow.
July: Haha, oh snap, I almost forgot to post the very first day of July!
August: August is going to be extremely low-key: Just a Journal.
September: Casey and I are headed out to Dallas today.
October: SO! I know you are all SO EXCITED to find out the theme for October..... HA.
November: Or more accurately, the Apple Store took my computer to exchange the
keyboard and trackpad.
December: I totally called the fact that I'd be up 'til 3 at like... 3 this afternoon.

The worst month for posts: January, with a total of 5. I hadn't started 365fromfeb yet, though, so...

Worst 365fromfeb month: DECEMBER!! A pittance of posts.
Best 365fromfeb month: APRIL, with every day having its own post. April's theme was just lists, making super easy on my poor brain.

i finally started backdating my January Journal entries. You can see the first three at my journal, and I think I'll only post them at the end of the week. :D

Nearing the end of my four-day weekend. Sad trombone!

Meh, I'll post my tweets early, even though I've written like two things today.

Also! merith , I JUST got the card you sent me - Mum didn't look at the name on the envelope and had it in her things! Oh, that silly Mum. :D It's beautiful, and thank you so much for thinking of me! <3 <3 <3 ( Tweets from 12.26.08 )

We're almost out of days in December and I'm themeless yet again for January. Meh.

I've been pretty bad about posting, and it's going to get worse when I go home tomorrow. Sorry!

Document is due tomorrow at 5, I've absolutely no interest in working on it any more. SIGH.

Again I don't know if making it to Wednesday is an option. Document is due @ 5PM, 6 to 8 is Landscaping.

I am so sad and tired I don't know if I CAN make it to Wednesday... wow. The first thing I'm going to do when I get home for Break is sleep sleep sleep forever.

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist/"friending me"? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head?

Post this in your own journal and see how you have surprised people!


Twitter updates to come later. Just found out my Landscaping paper & project & plant journal is due the same day as the Document. GUESS WHAT'S NOT GETTING DONE ON TIME?!
