Message in a bottle is all I can do

Hey so are people still... out there? 

I mean, of course they are, but... Hopefully no one that I followed 10-15 years ago thinks it’s weird if I lightly stalk them again after all this time. I'm curious what people are up to. And I will probably go on a spree of following new folks, too.

The kid whose birth derailed my long-running Star Wars AU series (and prompted me to re-evaluate my entire life) is now old enough to have opinions about Star Wars herself -- and she asked me to write her something. This kid is way cooler than I was in middle school – and likes to gently roast me and her dad for being ‘nerds’ – so I was surprised she asked but also... that’s awesome, kid. 

I’ve been really enjoying the process of writing for her, which prompted me to go looking through my old content. There's more of it than I remembered, even if I wasn't all that great at finishing what I started. 

Going back through old posts and such made me nostalgic for and appreciative of all those online friendships – and made me miss that sense of community, so here I am. I restarted my Tumblr, too. Why? What will I do with it? Who really knows. I've popped up here and there over the past few years, usually during times of stress, but not with any sort of consistency. We'll see how long this bout of nostalgia lasts.

(Look at my millennial fucking pink blog design here. Lol, but also I still kind of love it so I guess I will just be cringe.)
