Hi everyone,

It's been a really long time. A lot has happened since I've been on here last. I kept saying I was going to come back and didn't. I apologize for that.

I removed pretty much everyone from my friends list except for a handful of people. I thought it would be easier to start over that way. I had 20,000 messages in my inbox, and every day I get more and more that I can't keep up with. A lot of the people I removed have probably removed me in the time that I've been inactive anyway.

If I removed you, it doesn't mean I dislike you, and it doesn't mean I won't ever add you again. I just wanted to see who is still on here anymore.

A lot of not-so-good things have happened in the past few years, but some good things have happened as well. I spent an amazing four months with my boyfriend, ~silentpair, who I met on here in 2008. We've been together since. He had to go back home for a while, but he will be here again soon. He's so wonderful.

How is everyone doing?

I cleared my entire inbox to make things easier this time. The last few times I stopped in, I made the mistake of leaving everything in there and feeling overwhelmed by it.

Take care,

~Amber
