It's Alive!

Well, yeah. Hi again. Some of you might remember me. :)

I stopped updating this journal almost three years ago because it had begun to feel like a chore. Something that's meant to be fun shouldn't be an obligation, so I left it to itself. Lately, though, I've been thinking it might be fun to write again, so here we go.

Some of you, gentle readers, have met me in real life or talked/IM'd with me recently; some of you haven't. (Here's a belated 'Hello!' to those I've met at the filk con a few weeks ago. 'twas good to see you.) I've been reading along, so I'm marginally familiar with how your lives have been going. Here's an update on the state of the Katie.

So what's new? As of this point in time, I am:
  • still attending Uni Mainz, done with classes but chipping away at my thesis, which is due in July.
  • still soppily in love with [livejournal.com profile] lordofthewheel , and planning to join him in England as soon as uni lets me. There's this exciting idea of buying a house together, and a lot of wondering on my part whether that's feasible. We'll see.
  • sharing a basement flat with a gal called Steffi, which has probably made me less territorial than I've ever been in my life.
  • waiting impatiently for LARP season to start. I'm playing in two systems at the moment, Nyctophobia and Maelstrom, and prone to waffling about both.They're both based in the UK, which keeps life interesting. Of course Pete is entirely to blame for getting me hooked on this, but I'm rather happy he did. 
  • flying to England about four times a year, to see my boyfriend or to pretend I'm someone else. Both of these are immense fun. :)
I may or may not update more often in the future. We'll see how that goes. For now... I can't even say I'm back, because I've been here all this time. :)

Hi there! *hugs*

That's got to be the cutest disturbing icon I've ever seen. It's pretty. ^^

Hello my dear! Lovely to hear from you again.

Quite right, what you say. It should be fun. If it is, use it; if it isn't, don't. We'll still love you.

Glad to have you back, hope to read some more in the future. But don't worry, I'm an erratic poster as well, I understand what you mean.

w00t! So we're both back in action now. I see what you mean about keeping an LJ up to date becoming a chore though. I... guess we're better now?
:) sounds like your having fun.
