Why hello, it’s been a year and a half, long time no see! Originally I had planned on abandoning my blog after not updating it for a couple months, but then I decided to go back on my blog tonight and read through the pages of posts I had written. Afterwards I was filled with tons of nostalgia, so I decided to make it my mission to try and revive my blog. I already have ideas for some posts, so I’ll be throwing a couple of those out soon.
I wasn’t just nostalgic about my blog though, I was nostalgic about the life I had back when I wrote those posts. All my internet friends have grown up and moved on, and I’ve lost contact with most of them (except for the handful I have added on Facebook). The online communities I used to be on have slowed, and I barely visit them anymore. OQL (the Online Quidditch League), the group I swore I would never leave, has disbanded (mostly my fault, I’ll admit). Mugglenet Chat, the place that was my second home for 8 years, is now alien to me because most of my friends on it have left. It makes me sad when I think about how the online communities that were such a big part of my life two years ago have now diminished to nothing, but ah well. Life goes on and people move on I suppose, especially when you make the transfer into adulthood.
While one part of my life diminished though, another part grew, namely the college part. I’ve just finished up my second year in college and am starting a full time summer internship next week. I’m slowly but surely finding my place in college finally as I joined a couple queer groups and started longboarding last fall semester.
So what can you expect from me in the coming months? Well, I’ll definitely still be blogging about gaming, though probably not as much about console games since my subscription with Nintendo Power ended, but I still play lots of PC games. You can also expect some posts about coding (as casual coding is slowly taking up more of my life) and longboarding as well. I’m not sure who still reads my blog, but if you happen upon this post, know that more is coming!
