Now then. Where were we?

Hello there, peeps!

Well, that didn't take long, did it? 

Yep, I realize some of you are probably thinking I've gone totally off the deep end by now, lol, but trust me, it's not true. No more than usual, anyway. :)  

In the past six months or so, I've had a lot of life to tend to, and for quite a while, I really felt that when it came to this blog, I'd come to the end of the road. And I guess in a way, I had. Just not in the way I thought. This is probably going to be one of those long babbling posts, that I tend to write at 3am, so feel free to grab a cup of tea (I'm about to-- we can drink together.) and hang out a while.

Sorry, I'm cheating-- I don't have any new relevant photos, lol.

Well, here it is in a (long rambling) nutshell. I needed a break. A good looooong break. For the past couple of years, I've basically been smidge girl of Smidge House, and not much else. Which, in a lot of ways has been awesome. I've gotten to spend lots of time hobnobbing (that's right, hobnobbing. I am ninety.) with my heroes in the 1/6 world. I've made loads of friends, established a nice following, and received more compliments than I've ever gotten in my life, which is, of course, all good for the ego. :)  The only thing is, the rest of my life started to atrophy. And it wasn't good.

So I've needed time and space to grow out my personality again, and reestablish myself in other parts of the world.  Before I became smidge girl, I was about a zillion other things. And I needed to get those things back and move forward-- as a whole person, and not just one tiny piece. What I said in the last post about this blog not really representing me anymore is definitely true. That's not to say I don't enjoy it anymore, but it had overwhelmed the rest of my life, to the point where it was getting in the way of me building a new community. I really, really despise being pigeonholed, and that's what had happened. So, basically, I just had to step away, regroup, kick some ass, and prove that I still got it. In multiple areas. Turns out I do. ;)

Now that I'm reengergized, (that's a real word, spellcheck. Look it up.) and I'm feeling like some of my other skills are being recognized, this blog isn't feeling so much like a prison anymore. (Sigh. Isn't that an awful thing to say? But it really did feel like that for a while.) Now it feels more like a vacation home.  And I'm pretty excited to start (I will not say chillaxin. I will not say chillaxin. I will not say chillaxin.) hanging out here now and then. I can't say it'll be full time, but I fucking miss you guys, and I miss being part of this world, even if it's just on a part time basis. I have a few plans, and I'll be making a few changes, so if it looks wonky around here for a bit, don't worry, it's just me redecorating. :)

So. I guess that's kind of it! That wasn't as long and rambling as I expected, lol! But now it's 4 in the morning, and I have a hardcore editing job that has to be finished over the weekend, so I actually have to bring this to a close. (I've been doing some editing on the side lately, which I really love. Like I said, multiple areas. I'm a Jacqueline Bisset of all trades, as they say. And by "they," I mean no one.)

Have a great weekend everyone! Next time I'll have some stuff to talk about besides just myself, lol. And I'll bring some pictures. :)

Until then...
