I feel like I'm hardly ever online anymore and I'm not sure what to think of this.

Used my student loans to get a car, then get a permit, learn to drive, and get my license within the span of about three weeks ~~because I'm just that talented~~. This means I'm almost never home anymore (but how can you blame me when I live ten minutes from the beach and ten minutes from the mountains in the other direction, I mean really).
I got a job as an aide to an elementary school teacher who's gone blind the last few years - why anyone thought I'd be a good role model for our future generation I have no idea, but she seems happy with my performance already, so.
Started participating and volunteering with a local eclectic spiritual organization, which means an atheist-recently-turned-reluctant-sort-of-agnostic is cavorting about in witchcraft and sin. I should note that pagans are damn good cooks and store-bought pumpkin pies just won't cut it anymore.
No more schooling means no more having to read about other people's religions in both anthropological and philosophical senses and much more time for personal existential crises. I figure if Cloud is allowed to have one every other month or so, then I can have one or two myself, damnit.
The fact that I don't have to read anymore means such texts are suddenly that much more appealing. Imagine, reading something for fun that isn't fanfiction, what is this nonsense.
Being back in my home country means being back with old and close friends. :D
November is usually my favorite month. Just sayin'.

Long story short, I have a social life to compound my laziness in writing fic, though I still add a few more paragraphs to Eir's every other day or so. I'm still not sure how this happened.

Also got confirmation back from the University of Edinburgh that I did indeed pass, so I can legit go around being a dick and bragging that I'm 23 and have a European master's, albeit in a discipline that's rather useless outside of teaching, preaching, or interfaith diplomacy. \o/

Student debt, pshaw. Seriously, though, coming from a less-than-financially-blessed background has made me realize just how fucking lucky I am, particularly in the current world that's led to the necessity of movements like #Occupy Wall Street.
