Hi. Does it feel good to finally post on Sally after so long a time, or do you mean that it feels good not to post on Sally for a long time, hmm?
Anyway, I'm doing pretty fine, though I'm getting to be quite busy - as the academic year slowly nears its end, we get more and more tests... two of them next week. *sigh* But otherwise, I think I haven't much more to complain about (besides the usual stuff, naturally).
My two best friends got married on Friday, and I was very happy to finally see them do so. They've been together for a long time now, and are already blessed with a four year old child. The wedding was only a civil ceremony, and it was all kept very simple, yet of course very beautiful, as all weddings are.
I guess both have there benifits. o_0

I'm sorry I missed a day or two. It seems like everything happens while I'm gone, and this just sucks. Andrew's back, but decides to just up and go. John decides he's going with him. What is 499 comming to? Honestly, I don't want you guys to go!
*Grabs hold of friends and hugs them, never letting go*
Don't go! Pwease don't go!
