I'm both sorry to hear about what's going on but glad to hear you're getting it fixed! I've had some minor procedures and I totally understand being anxious about undergoing something. You got this! It'll be so great to be done with the sinus issues!

@divergentrays, thank you so much. I've been trying to stay calm, even the nurse practitioner has assured me, that there's nothing to worry about, and that I won't feel a thing, but even so, having never done this type of procedure before, it's only natural to have this kind of anxiety. I'm just hoping this all goes smoothly, and I can resume my daily activities!

I get on you on having a sour taste in your mouth after people leave with no explanation, it always bugs me as well :'). I know that people "don't owe anyone anything" but in a way that kind of dampens the feeling of a community...

On folks leaving without much notice: for me I wouldn't describe the feeling as sour, but I am left with the feeling of wanting to know "what happened?!" This is a thing I feel a lot when seeing abandoned sites of not just friends, but strangers as well. On a more positive note, I wish you and your fam luck with your moving plans!

Your entries are always so real & based dude

You're back! I'm always so excited to see an update from you! Good to hear that everything is going well and GOOD LUCK on all the clearing out and renovating.

@cabbagesorter, It does dampen that sense of community! I do understand, that people's live change, and things happen. It is what is I suppose. (I know a lot of people hate that saying)

@pip exactly! I always feel like I was left out of "what happened". And thank you! So far our moving plans have gone smoothly.

@vencake haha I appreciate it. I try and keep it real, Never thought the crap I posted was based, but hell I'll take it! <3

@divergentrays aw I appreciate you, I do check in on neocities from time to time, even though I don't update, I do enjoy your updates so much. and thank you for the good luck, we will need it!

Hey brother. I haven’t been on here in ages. Glad to see your update as part of my “return.” I, too, have kiddos and life is chaos with only bits of down time. I hope to update my site soon and get back into it a bit. Glad you’re doing well.

@futureperfect always awesome to see you my friend. Life's crazy with kids yea? I look forward to see your updates, glad you're still around, like me lol

Hey, so cool to see you pop in!

Haha, yea it's been awhile! So good to see you, always a pleasure!

Feeling you on the back thing. I think around a year ago I slept in bed weird and now my left shoulder has been slightly in pain since then. Hope that clears up or has been cleared up for you though :x

@pip it's awful right? Still pretty sore though, hoping in the next day or so i'll be good to go. So sorry to hear about your back thought, a dang year!

Love you all <3

Your conclusion is a very good one; IRL is much more fulfilling and I'm glad you're having a great time offline. I'm also glad you're keeping your site up!

Continue living it up out there!

@vencake, thank you, appreciate you, and love ya! And yes, I'll be keeping my site up, don't see a need to remove myself completely. @pip I appreciate you, and love ya as well, I will continue living it up, it's been great so far!

Dude, sucks to hear about the car. Good luck on your search for a replacement! I hear you on this mad slide straight from Halloween into Christmas. There are people around my neighborhood who have already decorated for Christmas. It's crazy!

Oh dude, so feel you on the loss of an important vehicle, sorry to hear about that. And more or less right there with ya on everything else - just letting ya know, validation and all that.

@divergentrays, @paintkiller. I appreciate you both. Reading through my craziness can't be easy, or even stomach most of it. I usually read back my post's after I've sobered up, almost like a cleanse.

I do apologize if some of the things I say seem really harsh, or completely random. It's been good for me to get some of my rage out, and later read it, as if i'm a different person the next day

I am also Gen X and I don't like any of those things either. And it IS a good thing to feel the rage and then get it out of your system so you can turn your attention to things you DO like. KnowwhatImean, Vern?

@arkmsworld absolutely. I've never really 'blogged' before, mainly because i'm just 'that generation' that doesn't feel the need to share everything. I will admit though, expressing my distaste for certain things is definitely therapeutic. Glad I'm not the only one!
