Wow, it's been almost 3 months since I posted a journal (or anything at all) on DA. My life has been anything but beyond hectic and I'm sorry about the lull. Some of it's been good, some of it's been pretty bad, while other times have just been a time to (try and) relax. Here's a quick rundown (of what I can remember):

-My grandfather lost his battle with cancer on May 20th
-His funeral took place on May 25th, the same day as the start of Anime North
-Anime North this year was May 25th-27th and a blur... I got about 5 hours of sleep and barely got to do anything outside of my job. However, I had an awesome time and I'll try to upload pictures later
-The pool was finally opened and the garden was finally tended to on May 29th for the first time this year (very, very late)
-I started playing Final Fantasy XI again after an 8 month break
-I was given my B.A. in Anthropology on June 14th - I am still going back to school in September to do honors and a second B.A.
-I went in for breast reduction surgery on July 11th and am still recovering
-Due to recovery, I could only attend Con Bravo! for one day (Saturday, July 28th), but it was a very nice con ^^
-My 25th birthday is next Friday, oh geez @_@

Due to said above events (re: stress), I have noticed that my depression isn't as controlled as it used be. I'll take that up with my doctor in a few weeks though. So many of the things I wanted done for May are still being put together, but I really want to get that done by this week (the piles of half assembled things around me are becoming massive!) and I hope to stay active again within the DA community.

Also, thank you everyone for the lovely comments and favorites that you've given me in my absence. I really appreciate knowing that there are people out there who care ^^v
