Hello strangers! (Used to be Mara, still Sho)

I'm back.

Kinda.

I'm working on getting internet access at home again, but right now I'm back in the library for the interim, which means limited time five days a week. (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat).

As you may know I've not been online for any length of time since mid-December and for about a month before that I was already behind in catching up. So... since I don't even think LJ will let me skip back that many entries on my flist, I am going to have to draw a line and say I'm starting again from now. (Tuesday 16, 2.30pm GMT)

If there's anything at all I should know or you'd like me to see (including fics I've been following, vids, new pictures, art) then please either link me here or message me?

Also, I have free access to Twitter on my phone until the end of next month and have been pretty much living on my Twitter page for the last month - here it is incase you didn't already know it. Messages there from people I already follow will be up instantly, if you add me it'll take a while until I get access to the notification but if I know you I'll add you asap.

Okay, so that's me for now - love you all, I've missed you all so much!

*squish*

I haven't been around myself so I know how hard it is to catch up that being said it's good to see you again.

Jules! Hi honey, I've missed you! I hope things are looking up for you. *hugs*

You're alive! Hurray!

I'm pretty sure I've got all my fic nicely tagged and bookmarked, so anything you might wanna read can be found here.

But mostly? Just glad you're alive (I don't check my twitter that often, so I didn't notice you were all over that until, like, yesterday. . . .)

Hi babe. Things are better than they were, I'm on new meds and they seem to be doing a better job than the previous ones so here's hoping.

I hope you're doing okay I think about you often.

Awesome! Thanks for the link, I'll be catching up over the next few days then!

Also - I should apologise for my spammage on Twitter about the rugby at the weekend, but seriusly, it was the most amazing match I've ever seen and I'm still shell-shocked!

*squish*

Hey, you were more interesting than when my uncle twittered a football game.

*squishes back*

Hey you *hugs*

Very good to have you back.

I don't know how much of my stuff you've read, but I've finished He's No Jack Sparrow, finished the epilogue piece Introspect, and started the sequel, Don't Go Solo.

All of that, and any other stuff I've written can be found on my Fanfiction Index.

Always glad to have you back, no matter how short or long your stay might be.

:::clings:::

I am so glad to hear from you!

Gabrielle

*squish* - good to see you back! Hope things are good.

I'm following you on Twitter, but I haven't actually been over there hardly at all since the end of the Gaza Freedom March (which I started my Twitter account to tweet about).

If you are interested in reading of my adventures in Cairo, the LJ entries begin here.

Or, if you just want to hop straight to the photos of pyramids and other interesting stuff in Cairo and Alexandria, those start here!

*joins the welcome-back chorus*

If you were following my Faith the Vampire Slayer series, the current episode has some rather tempestual sea change going on. But you may be more interested in (and have more time for) the odd non-FtVS pieces that popped up recently: Four Shorts By Request (various Jossovers including Supernatural) and Pale Sister (Dexter/Buffy, with no actual BtVS/Angel characters).

*grumbles again about someone else taking my ID on twitter* Ah well, we'll always have identica. Or at least I will...

Welcome back! :)

*squish*

MISSED YOU TOO!!!!

I got and accepted your twitter request - I still don't really know anything about how it works like...

lovely to see you on LJ again though, it's just not been the same without you!!

*tackles*

I don't know why I'm surprised that you've so productive since I've been AWOL, since hey, it's you!

Going to go check them out and save 'em to the old reliable pen drive to catch up!

And it's very good to be back!

*hugs*

I've missed you so much!

I have to say, I got all worried about you after hearing about some of the arrests on/after the march because I knew you were on it, so I kinda came out of my hibernation to check up on you.

And of course completely failed to then comment on any of your entries - because I was going through a period of absolute fail.

I'm going to go catch up properly now!

Excellent! *goes to save 'em all to read at home*

It's so great to be back!

*tacklehugs*

Who does that bloke think he is, muscling in on our photo...

Heh!

*grins*

Isn't it always the case, some guy who thinks he might be in with a chance just has to get in the way...

I know, it's terrible isn't it.... we were just trying to have a nice photo with a bottle of Jack Daniels, and he just assumes that he can do whatever he wants....

...though to be fair, he could...

...fond memories!

Will you be attending any of Mr Carlson's performances in March?

I really wish I could, but I've no way of buying tickets online and that kind of thing. Which sucks out loud really!

Your going to one at least aren't you? Give him a big extra squeeze from me will you?

If it's just a logistical thing I could probably manage something, but if it's about the whole ridiculous cost of the trip and getting there and back and stuff then I really wish I were richer! But I'm probably the poorest I've ever been right now :(

But I shall see what I can do about squeezing Steve. The difficult things I will do for my friends....

... and if there seems like an opportunity I could always try and make him have phone sex with you again...

It's actually mostly logistical to be honest, although there is also a tiny part of me that knows full well there will be people there who won't be happy to see me.

Gnnh. See, now I'm thinking about it some more...

But then again, the phone sex thing could be even better...

APPROPRIATE ICON WIN!!!!!!!!!
er... what was I gonna say?

Oh yes! Know that if you do decide to go, there will be at least one person who will be overjoyed to see you. And anyone who doesn't feel the same way had better keep it to themselves, because there's nothing quite so obnoxious as thinking you have a right to say who can go to a gig and who can't. As much as any of us would love to, none of us own Steve. And sometimes I've felt very very unwelcome at events (LA anyone?) but it's a very sad situation when it stops you living your life and making the most of the things you enjoy. Don't let anyone intimidate you.

And on a similar note, as much as I've been pissed off with people in the past, and as much as I've fallen out with friends over the years, I've decided to let bygones be bygones for my own sake, because I am far too young to be bitter and resentful. Like one of my own flatmates and I had a huuuuge fallout, but now we're acquaintances, even if we'll never be friends again. Just because I don't have the energy to hold a grudge.

I have lost the point somewhere in my issues.

Er,

phone sex.

um, no I don't think that was it, but it sounds good. (that actually is a cheesy pun isn't it? oh well!)

I hope that if you can't come (which would be better) that I will get chance to waylay him with my unfortunately much less tiny phone, but the unfortunate reality is that he's a lot more sought after now, and I'm not sure the same opportunities will be there without Chris there to distract the Mob.

Still, this is where my super sekrit ninja skillz* may come into their own!

*so super sekrit, that I don't even know what they are!

*squish*

I know exactly where you're coming from. Also, I would like to take the chance to apologise for when I treated you like crap, and don't deny it, I did. I was going through a lot of crap and was breaking down without knowing it. I'm better now and am well on the road to recovery.

I would absolutely love to go. And I've just done a quick feasability study... definitely possible.

I'll think on it some more and let you know tomorrow.

*squish*

And Phone Sex is always a good fall back! Heh!

*uses the same icon gratuitously, because it's our icon*

I see your apology and raise you an apology for being entirely absent when you were going through a lot and could have done with the support. I am now likewise trying to find my footage on a similar road.

I will be looking forward to your verdict! It's at times like this that I especially wish I was a londoner again, because I feel like such a tourist and a let down no longer being able to offer crash :(

Honey, you've got nothing to apologise for. If I didn't see I was falling apart then no one else could be expected to!

And if there's anything I can do to help, you have my new number and can contact me any time (expecially since I now have more credit on my phone!)

I'm fairly sure that being there when a friend is falling/fallen apart is definately part of a friend's job, and just being there generally certainly is. And I was very disappeared. I think I let a lot of people down, and I've drifted apart from so many of my closest friends, it's really quite sad. And the worst part, is I saw that drifting happening and did f all about it because I was too much of a coward. But! It's never too late to be brave, right? And I'm trying to reconnect with everyone now. But LJ's a lot more dead than it used to be, isn't it?

And likewise with the phone thing, I am here now. Sorry I'm, as usual, late.

:::hugs you again...just because:::

Gabrielle

Aw, I am flattered! No worries, I have been in a very faily state myself of late.

When did you used to dance on fire and brimstone?

*grins*

The dancing on fire and brimstone thing? It's a lyric from my current favourite song - it's a Christian Kane song called Let's Take a Drive. The lyrics kinda ring very trud to me - a girl who used to be fearless and lost who she was for a while starting to remember. (here's the full lyrics if you're interested (http://lyrics.wikia.com/Christian_Kane:Let%27s_Take_A_Drive))

Heh.

(Also, whiskyinmind comes from another of his songs, although being an ignorant American he thinks whiskey is the better drink. Poor uneducated boy.)
