Despite the best efforts of my depression, a hurricane, my gallbladder, two wisdom teeth, a rebellious jaw, and a number of other things I've since forgotten, I'm still alive. :) Sorry for the long radio silence. My interest in DA has fallen down something fierce (not helped by the fact my old documents are on a computer we don't use anymore), not to mention a number of life events taking priority, but I'm still around.

Good lord, has it really been over two years since I last made a Journal entry?...Shows you how much goes on in my life. :PIn all seriousness, though, the last two years haven't been entirely unmemorable: * Last year, for instance, I finally managed to get a 3DS for...I think it was $150? I have about a dozen games for it, plus a few I've downloaded via the eShop (I really got into Pokemon Rumble World , for instance).
