It's taken me waaaaaaaaaaay too long to post again. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long. I realized how long when Irish messaged me the other day. Matazone was one of the things I've always meant to come back to, but never quite had the time.

But lots and lots and LOTS of things are different now. When I say lots, I mean LOTS. When I left I was living in South Carolina. I'm in Seattle now. When I left, I was pining over a friend of mine, and I even asked him out. Now, almost a year later, Brent has moved to Connecticut and I'm engaged to and living with the most wonderful man in the world. I could go on and on and on about my Randy for pages and pages here, but I think I'll spare the details for another post. (I'll be sure to carefully censor everything, of course )

Almost everything in my life has changed in just a year's time, but the biggest change of all has been my health. I'm sure a lot of you remember how ill I was when I left here (because that's just what kind of forum this is, everyone cares about everyone else). I'm finally almost well again. I had to leave college and spend a lot of time resting to get there, but I'm finally the closest to whole I've ever been. A lot of that has to do with my engagement and move, I think. The stress back in my mother's house in SC was enormous, and now that I'm away from that my nerves are finally settling down. (Plus, being engaged and living with my honeybun...afterglow is THE most relaxing state I've ever found. Forget meditation!)

So basically; I'm alive, I'm well, I'm happy, and I'm back! ALL REVEL IN MY FITNESS!!!! And this time, instead of just updating and going dormant again, I think I'm back for good!

I remember you! *jumps up and down* It's great to see you, and doing so well too! Are you going to be back with us permanently? *hopes*

I remember! I'm still a little sad that you up and lifted without telling me. Not that I was gonna stalk you or nothin'...nooo

Anywho, glad you're safe and happy!

I'm plotting on a permanent stay! I've got a cable modem now, so I can post and post like mad and spend very little time! Now I've just got to suck Randy (the fiancee) into the mad mad Matazone world!

I can still set you up with Kalina, Irish. You'd like her better, methinks. I'm too kinky for you.

Yep, I remember you. Welcome back! It's always nice to see new old faces

Glad you are feeling better too. I know how sucky it is to be ill long term

What's Seattle like then? Worth a visit? My Dad loves the place but then he loves Frasier
