Mags

Okay okay update and announcement kinda

The planner I ordered online came yesterday, which is great. It's exactly what I needed and I think it's already starting to help me feel like a hot mess, at least to some degree. I'm hoping it'll help me get more of a grip.

That said, I'm still pretty all over the place 

I realized that I missed the first deadline for submitting a really important scholarship this morning which was . . . not great for morale. I can still submit it, my application just won't have priority which is unfortunate. From what I've heard, pretty much everybody who applies to this one gets something, but I'm still going to worry. (The issue was I ended up doing FASFA a little later then was recommended, I needed it to be fully processed to apply for this scholarship yesterday, and it hasn't been processed yet).

I have read a little more WAT, I'm almost done with day four. My goal was to finish it before January ends but . . . that seems unlikely, at this point. I'm just going to combine January and February together in my reading journal because I didn't finish anything this month. I've seen people organize it seasonally, and I'm starting to understand why.

I did watch the first 3 episodes of Arcane s2! (which I'm 90% sure is the whole first arc). I've been taking it slow because it's pretty heavy, but I LOVE IT SO FAR @Edema Rue THE END OF EP3 LEFT ME DUMBSTRUCK WHATTTTT

Okay announcement time: If you haven't noticed, I've been a lot less active. I do have tons of free time, I won't lie and make it sound like I don't have several hours to myself everyday (though I am busier then I was before). That said, I'm finding it hard to be here at times because I'm just so low on energy these days. That and I have like 15 million hobbies I'm trying to keep up with, oh the curse of having multiple interests. 

I'm not leaving the shard, don't worry

But, I do think I'm going to take a break from most of the role-plays here. I love role playing, but it's gotten really hard to keep up with and it takes a lot of energy for me. Think of this as a soft-hiatus, I might jump back into it soon, but for now I need to take a step back and stop putting pressure on myself to make posts everyday.

Specifically Bodyguards and Fantasy-no magic, which are extra hard because I'm using my creative energy juices to keep things rolling and to keep people interested. I don't necessarily plan out plot and stuff for those, I've just kinda been winging it, but it's difficult to try and tell a consistent story, provide hooks for players, pilot npcs, and all that. These rps don't have to end, or stop completely. Especially with Fantasy-no magic, which I apologize for partially commandeering in the first place . I'll make posts in those rps as well, but please keep playing without me! (If anyone wants some plot details for Bodyguards specifically to help keep it running, pm me because I know we were on the verge of discovering some new info). As for other rp's I'm going to try and pop in once and a while, but we'll see.

I am going to try and stay completely active in HG, though. It's a bit of a priority because I've spent . . . a long time (years?) putting together some of the stuff I'm doing right now, and my current character. As just a player, it's not as hard to participate in, and it's fundamentally a bit simpler too. (I know I volunteered to be a GM for the next one but . . . we'll burn that bridge when we get to it). Obviously I don't want to stop rping completely because I love doing it, I'm just starting to realize I can't do so many at once without burning myself out.

I'll still be here chatting away (especially when I finish wat and need to scream my thoughts into the void), but I just don't have it in my to run several rp's the way I've been going so far. Watch for my annoying SU's about random things 

Thanks for being patient with me guys! I know I've missed some stuff and left some people without a reply as things got more hectic, which I hope wasn't too frustrating. Love you
