I really have no excuse but still plenty of excuses as to why I haven't done anything on dA in the past three months. Allow me to begin sharing a few of them with you.

Almost the very week of my last journal here, we had a Woods Battle with Legion II at Ian's place. That was about the first time I realized how sick I was. I have progressively gotten sicker, and at one point I was so sick I simply couldn't eat. Anything I ate gave me terrible stomach pains and caused me to feel so awful I began to avoid eating rather than be kept in a bed for two days because I had anything more than a slice of bread.
So, literally on a diet of only bread and cereal, I lost 30 lbs between April 28th and mid-June. That's a problem. Not the losing weight part, but the amount and how quickly it happened.
I've had several tests done on me. Colonoscopy, x-ray/catscan/wtf ever it's called, several biopsies, etc. They still have no idea what's wrong. On the plus side, however, I'm beginning to get better-- or rather, my symptoms are lessening, and I'm able to eat normal food (or at least a singular meal a day) for several days without feeling ill. I've gained back a little bit of the weight, but not much. Still, I'm feeling a good bit better now than I was before, and that's good.

In other news, I've been so busy with Dagorhir that I seriously haven't written anything, drawn anything, or played any music (with the exception of the occasional plucking of the bass strings at 2:00AM) since about the time I last posted a journal here. Dagorhir is absolutely amazing, and I don't at all mind dedicating all of my time to helping things run smoothly. I'm just saying that it's had me busy, what with Ragnarok taking up an entire week+ of June, organizing a Feast for us, taking a visit out to Dominion for a day event of awesome, getting people passed as Knights (which is still taking forever due to the ineffectiveness of Regional Councils), and now this very serious issue of fantasy racism and elitist attitudes going on in our realm. That's not nearly everything, either, just the big stuff. -.-
But I effing love Dagorhir. X3 No lie. It's the greatest thing I've ever done with my time, I think.

I leave for college in roughly a month. It's really kind of stressing me out, amongst other things, and for a wide variety of reasons.
At least I'll still have the one guy who can always warm my heart with me when I go. I don't think I'd survive half the things I'll face otherwise. And I definitely would not be as happy and content as I am, despite everything that's going on now, if it weren't for him.
Thank you for being you, and for choosing to be you with me.

Hopefully, within the month I have left here, I'll start writing again. And when I do, I'll surely post things here.
