*taps tentatively*
I’ve been away from Tumblr for a while. I’ve mostly dropped out of the RP scene, and even play time is pretty constricted. It’s not that I don’t love you all. I just don’t have the mental bandwidth.
So for an update...
OOC:
Still at the cable company. It sucks the life out of me.
But I’ve started working at my high school alma mater - been there in various roles for about a year and a half. I’m the Assistant Marching Band Director in the fall and the Musical Director in the spring, so those things take up a lot of my time.
I’ve decided that I will, after all the drama, teach. However, the state will not let me until I get recommended by my undergraduate college. My undergraduate school tells me I need 12 more credits to be up to 2017 standards. *insert Lenny face* I have a degree in Music Education. So, complications.
I’ve joined a Sweet Adelines Chorus. I sing bass and it’s - surprisingly, at least to me - wonderful. I love my biddies, because they’re crazy and just accept the fuck out of me.
I’ve started dance classes. I’m taking tap, but maybe someday I’ll be able to add Jazz/Hip Hop.
Between chorus and dance classes of my own, and musical season ramping up in January, I’m basically never going to be around.
I quit smoking. I’d been trying for about a year and finally just put the cigarettes down on July 2 and walked away. Feels good, man.
Finally working on getting help with my hands. I’ve had tendinitis and carpal tunnel for years. I thought the next step was surgery but the hand guy insists it’s not carpal tunnel and now wants me to see a spine surgeon. BECAUSE SURE OK THAT’S A BIG LEAP BUT RIGHTO.
IC:
Lena retreated from public eye when Shadows dissolved. She is now a general member of Order of the Beast. However, she is taking her good old time getting back on the front lines and will probably never take another leadership role again. She’s always researching and doing her work but she’s still pretty foggy and sad.
Some of the displaced Shadows folks did end up making their ways to OOTB. If we haven’t seen you in a while and you’re looking for your people, feel free to poke anyone with an OOTB tag and say you’re from Shadows. We’d love to have you!
Aussie is two and a half and is an absolute terror. He throws regular throw down screaming tantrums (as in, several times a day) and keeps Lena on her toes. The only time she is able to get him to calm down is when she does her magic storytelling thing, conjuring imagery and telling the origin stories of Argus and the draenei, which is draining, but if it gets him to just stop screaming for ten minutes, she’ll do it. Lena is many tireds.
Eladea made her way to the Broken Shore and takes regular holidays to the Dreamgrove just to get away from the kids and relax and remember how to druid. She’s part of OOTB now and is pleased that they regard her the same way as Shadows did - sure, it’s weird that she doesn’t speak and spends her time in feline form, but whatever. It’s Eladea.
Kudrelke is off being Relke and Xaph with Xaph, not sure what they’ve been up to lately. Lila is still adorable, but both of the boys have come along to OOTB. The band is pretty well together, and anyone that didn’t end up in OOTB is still around with other good organizations and doing fairly well, from what we hear.
