Ah that is sad, really amazing martial artist
 
I'm in a (spring) cleaning (or rather tidying) kind of mood atm, have thrown out loads of old stuff and shredded a bunch of old paperwork from the to-be-shredded bag yesterday evening and this morning - I threw out enough junk from one of my storage racks that I managed to end up with an entire empty shelf which I'm now using to store some useful needed things that were neatly in a corner, but technically on the floor before, it's a good feeling to be letting go of stuff I don't want or need, I tend to hoard but am really working on it cuz I don't want my stuff to take up more of my life/time/energy than I'm comfortable with, tbh with how much I need to deal with it will be a years long job (the paperwork especially), but at least I feel invigorated to start tackling it now, and I am def gonna start properly filing all the new paperwork I get so that new paperwork doesn't become more old, undealt with paperwork at least :)
 
Hello AUKN, it's been a while (though I don't think three months counts as my longest absence). To say 2025 has not been kind would be a bit of an understatement. On previous occasions when life has been kicking me repeatedly in the balls I've tended to stay quiet until things pick up since my posts cease to be entertaining (and my particular form of brain dysfunction causes me to react poorly to expressions of sympathy) but things are not really improving despite my best efforts to the contrary and I suppose I thought I owed it to people to at least let them know I'm not dead (yet). Bit annoyed that I missed out on the Haibane Renmei simulwatch, though not quite as violently angry as I have been about everything else.

Anyway, we are all living and living is pain, more at 11. This may mark the resumption of regular posting, it may not.

Hey! Good to hear from you. Life can be a ball ache, that's for sure. Hopefully you're back to your best soon.

It's good to see you again. I hope that you can post a little more! To avoid this somehow coming across as sympathy, please rest assured that I will swiftly and mercilessly prune any posts which drift from non-entertaining into excessively dark.

But by all means, if an unsympathetic, somewhat robotic ear with no direct connection to your problems will be of any use, please feel free to hit me up with a private message.
