So, the news is that I probably won't be going to do my Phd. in August, due to red tape. Instead, it will probably be sometime in November. Good for me because I get to attend WOMAD! once again and boy is the line-up of artists and workshops super exciting this year. I also get to be present for my country's Independence Day, our 50th year of Independence. Something that is very important to me because despite my bohemian, free spirit type mentality, I guess I am patriotic. I will have to teach for a few more months than I had planned.

The other news is this - despite the fact that I will be around on the internets for longer than I expected: I'm giving my Druid girl a rest. She's out of control right now and while I appreciate that she loves her House and wants a fair and equitable election (okay, that comes from me and my RL convictions as well) - I really do not want to go down this arpee road even if she's pushing me down that direction. This is an OOC heads up, even if I rarely post about y'know, Achaea here, in the interest of character separation. Now, if only I could figure out how to keep my stag from dying :-/

In other news, I'm really, really excited about WOMAD, really, really nervous about Australia and Phd (though who knows, it may just be New Zealand, after all), and really struggling to overcome a massive writer's block and major existential/epistemological angst. Lilimist knows about this, I believe. Too much philosophy can do that to a girl.

On an artistic front, I'm learning about typesetting and hopefully bookbinding as well - since I plan to self-publish an anthology of poems. If any of you have any advice, do share `em with me. I'm both excited and scared about this.

Here's hoping the rest of you are well. Teckel1, I owe you a long email or something. You still have my thoughts and prayers <3

Mortaikaiim, thanks for having your character be such a good rolemodel for my girl *salute* - both of us appreciate his presence in her life.

As for the rest of my non-Achaean friends well, heh - seeya guys elsewhere :p

Aw :( But I hope you'll be having a wonderful time! :hug:

(By the way, you can put her stag in her house and I'll have him feed it until your return, whenever that may be)

Poked head in earlier to set door perms and check on Gwion (the stag). He's upstairs (hidden exit) and his feedbag should last 43 days(months). A couple of others offered to check on him as well, so it will be less of a burden to any three of you. Thank you for volunteering :hug: Also, feel free to get him to harvest from the gardens - she won't mind if it's her dad and the herbs will just be a waste.

I don't feel it's safe to return now, I don't trust "her" *laugh* - something to do with characters running away with you. Maybe in a few months time, after I have settled in another country.

awww hun! I miss you!! :hug: Hrm, what elections?! As you can tell, Achaea hasn't even really been in my thoughts of late. I've truly enjoyed my break and life is going well at the moment :)

I miss you too and it's good that Achaea's not been in your thoughts. I'm finding it harder and harder to focus on Achaea myself, not with all the interesting things going on in my life. The elections? OOooer, I better explain that one in private to you, if you know what I mean.
