So I know that I have definitely been leaving you hanging on this blog. My sincerest apologies. While there is no excuse, I do have things that have been happening in life. So, I will try to briefly sum up what has been going on lately.
I have definitely had some up and downs. My mom has moved away, we've planned to move into a house, I am planning a career change here shortly and I'm trying to find my way into the blogging, writing world. I was also fortunate enough to go to Florida and visit Disneyworld and Universal Studios. I very genuinely got to go "home" to Hogwarts. For New Year's we celebrated with Clay's parents and our best friend Howard started a new journey in Texas.
I've done a little self reflection. I always find that when I'm feeling down in the dumps, I tend to dive deeper into nerd life. I'm not sure what it is about not really being socially accepted (or at least feeling that I'm not), but I always stop writing, and start tuning out. I find new series and movies to watch or just basically brush up on my original fandoms. I'm working on that though. I find writing to be therapeutic. I tend to not really know what I'm writing about until I'm done. I just let my hand and free flowing brain do the work, I just sift through and figure it all out later.
This time through my anger and sadness, I discovered a newfound love for Cosplay, and British tv. Cosplay was something I was not at all familiar with until some shows came out on television about the subject. For those who maybe don't know, Cosplay is basically the act of becoming a character (think characters at disneyland, then broad that horizon). The character can be from various places/fandoms and are extremely amazing. For a look at some cosplays that I find to be amazing take a look here
As I said, the other love became British tv shows. I've gotten almost all caught up on Doctor Who and I became deeply obsessed with Sherlock. Adding these to my already long list of nerd obsessions, makes for me to feel rather dorky in my brain.
Now that we have officially gotten a good foot in the door for 2014 though, I'm trying to stay positive in life. It does prove hard at times. I am not perfect, nor will I ever be, but it's important for me to improve myself continuously. I want to write more, read more and shut out life less. I want to be healthy, love deeply, dance often. I really just want better than last year.
So again apologies for leaving things untouched here for so long. Let's journey forward though, shall we?
