Let me start this by saying...Yes, I realize I have been gone for over a year. And I'm no longer 19, but 21. Okay, then let me continue this by saying...Yes, I am back, for now. It's been a really hectic year and a half for me. Any readers who are familiar with me and my stories know that I'm in university. Or let me clarify that now...I am a university GRADUATE! Dah-duhn! So, I've been gone mostly because of school, and work. I crammed my four year degree, into three years and now I'm done!

So I'm back to my beloved stories.

I can't make any huge promises here. I'm going to try and work as best as I can to keep these stories running. I really love them and would hate to leave them unfinished.

I'm currently in South Korea right now doing an ESL program with high school kids. I'll be here until October, when my contract is up. So, my goal is to finish my stories by October. Because after that I'll be required to look for a real "adult job" and that might force me to leave fanfiction again. But I have just under a year to finish what I've started. So wish me luck, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions, about anything!.
