And I missed these posts. Every week I resolved to make one and somehow it never happened because the day just vanished. I'm still a bit self-conscious and undecided about the vlog because my accents is more noticeable when I'm nervous, but there will be pictures at the very least!<br /><br />It's true that slumps help us to grow as people! I have a whole new appriciation for having my own place again!<br />Thanks so much for being here! You and Jen are the closest blogging friends I've made in the almost 1.5 years I've been here and I really love exchanging comments and squeeing about things and the occasional twitter convos :) It means a lot to me!<br />Yes, finally I made the darn button! Thanks for putting it on your blog! I need to update my blog roll... I think some of the blogs on there don't even exist anymore :(Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-77851211808620512962013-10-22T22:55:53.239+02:002013-10-22T22:55:53.239+02:00*hugs* I'm so glad someone understands! I mean...*hugs* I'm so glad someone understands! I mean it was nice to be welcomed back, but somehow it's like a step back to being a teen... in your mid-twenties. Suddenly people ask where you're going and when you're coming home.<br />I really want to do the house tour! My sister moved in today though so it's a huge mess everywhere at the moment. I hope to get it cleaned up until next Sunday.<br />Be proud of your hoarderish ways ;)Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-12381358612332485982013-10-22T22:53:46.032+02:002013-10-22T22:53:46.032+02:00*blush* Atmosphere is really important to me in a ...*blush* Atmosphere is really important to me in a story, and I'm so happy it worked for you!<br /><br />WoW definitely makes my TBR list explode >.< But it's important to stay on top of what's coming out, I think. And I like commenting. I just don't always have the time for it :(Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-73665914710183550372013-10-22T22:52:08.196+02:002013-10-22T22:52:08.196+02:00Hi :) Woah, I'm not sure this post makes a gre...Hi :) Woah, I'm not sure this post makes a great first impression to a follower ^^' But I'm glad you liked it :)<br />Moving out is a big step, but for me it was overdue when I did it after my 5th semester.<br />I like discussions too! I need to come up with a couple new topics.<br />That fear of not doing enough is terrible >.< I'm glad you enjoyed the story! Keeping my fingers crossed you'll be spared the pain of funerals for a couple more years.<br />Thanks so much for writing such a lovely comment :)Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-48706153116278124672013-10-22T21:25:58.966+02:002013-10-22T21:25:58.966+02:00Wow, you really are quite the gifted writer! You ...Wow, you really are quite the gifted writer! You really shine at setting the proper tone and I love how you use language to describe it all, it sucks you right into the story!<br /><br />I have missed reading and learning more about you - especially the bit where we both had more time to chat and all that >.< I will definitely be hoping to see a shelf/apartment tour and a potential 1st vlog :D<br /><br />I do hope things continue to get better for you, I had a down in the dumps slump a while back and it's never fun...but I do think we tend to grow more during those times and when things settle, we're stronger for it! All the best to you hun & keep us posed -HOWEVER you want to, we'll be here ♥<br /><br />PS- I only *just* saw you got a blog button and I ran over to my blog to add it to my blogroll :DMichelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-12558025575060927752013-10-22T19:18:58.875+02:002013-10-22T19:18:58.875+02:00Oh, girl...I had to move back home after a couple ...Oh, girl...I had to move back home after a couple of years on my own, so I know that's a hard move indeed. But it is nice to know that you can if you need to. :) I can't wait to see your shelf/house tour. I've been thinking of doing a shelf tour myself, but I'm afraid of how it's going to make me look: like the book hoarder I am. :P And I agree, quality over quantity, so just post what you really want, and you know we'll still be here to read it. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-26969834663421882552013-10-21T19:50:25.120+02:002013-10-21T19:50:25.120+02:00Wow!

Nice job!<br /><br />I sure understand about the time constraints. I like memes like WoW and TT because they give me ideas (too many!) of what I want to add to my reading list. But commenting DOES take a lot of time.Kim@Time2Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584489744366874728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969010260405454424.post-7520746607630658782013-10-21T01:52:24.063+02:002013-10-21T01:52:24.063+02:00Nice to learn more about you!

I'm applying for university this year and the debate of living with my parents vs. moving away is driving me crazy. I hope you have fun in your new apartment though. And discussion posts are a good way to go. I'l be looking forward to them!<br /><br />As for your short story, I wasn't sure where it was going until the last line which was my favourite. It makes me sad because everyone has that fear of never doing enough. I've never been to a funeral yet (I hope I won't have to go either) but I think you managed to capture the grief very well. I enjoyed it. :)<br /><br />-P.E. @ <a href="http://thesireniccodex.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">The Sirenic Codex</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045558423044874125noreply@blogger.com
