Rumors of my death have been only partially exaggerated

Just a short note to let one and all know that I am, in fact, still alive. Good lord, I don't think I've gone this long without posting in the entire time I've had this journal. Unfortunately, life has had me in a strangehold for the last several months and doesn't seem to be willing to let up anytime soon. Nothing bad is happening, I'm just insanely busy and will probably be so until the end of the semester. Sigh. In the mean time, I'm hanging in there, and struggling to cope with the fact that I just don't have as much leisure time as I used to.

I haven't been doing much (or sometimes any) writing in the last few months either, but I'm trying to change that. I just wrote something for the saiyuki_time comm, A Small Crime. I'm going to try and keep with with doing a ficlet for each prompt, since it seems to be a good way to stay semi-regular with writing as posting fic. Meanwhile, the battle against my many other WIP rages on, though lately I seem to have decided that discretion is the better part of valor. (In other words, I've been hiding under the covers and not writing at all.) But as spring...er, springs I shall bravely soldier on in my attempts to compose something that I am not totally embarrassed of. We will see how that goes.

In other news, I have been doing a lot of sleeping, a moderate amount of reading, and a (very) little exercising. Beyond that, there is little to report. My life has become exceedingly dull.

Further updates as events warrant! (In other words, it may be a while.) Carry on, folks!
