*Awkwardly wanders in and gives a sheepish small wave*
Uh... hi?
*Crickets chirp*
Ahem... uh, yeah. So uh, how has everyone beennnnn?? *Sorta sinks lower*'
*More silence*
*Blinks* Er... so... I, uh, take it you want me to get on with the post already, huh?
*Still nothing*
Alright then... eheh...
So... uh, hello everyone, eheh! Remember me? Swirlshine? The blogger who kinda obviously stinks at responsibilities and hasn't posted since... *checks* August? Yeah, that's me. Eheheh.
*Fidgets nervously* So, uh, I take it you've all been wondering where I've been for 4 months?
I'll explain that now then. I hope it all doesn't sound like excuses to you - I'm speaking the truth, I promise you!
*Clears throat*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright. So first off, you can see that my last post was on August 22. I'm pretty sure that was a few days before the new school year started for me.
So yeah, that makes sense, right? Yeah, totally normal - lots of people just need a few weeks to get used to school schedules again!
Except uh, yeah, I obviously was NOT gone for "just a few weeks".
But if you guessed one of the reasons for my unexpected "hiatus" was school, you'd be very much correct, so yayyyy, good for you if you guessed that, I guess! XD
Yeah... idk. School's been different this year, being in high school and all. Quite interesting, to say the least. Unfortunately, I can't say it's the good kind of interesting either.
I'm not trying to turn this into a vent post or anything, promise, but yeesh, I'm not gonna lie - this 2018 school year so far has been rough. *Shakes head* School's quite dumb in many ways, I can tell you that. And stressful. And discouraging. And disappointing. And infuriating. And dull. And- you get the idea.
But hey, I won't go into my strange personal issues. And besides, maybe the 2019 half of the school year will be much better!
... Okay, tbh, I sorta doubt it. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT YET SO I SHOULD BE QUIET NOW. C: XDD
And plus, I mean, 2018 hasn't been all bad! School-wise, yeah, it's been tough, but I did grow even closer to some of my friends, and I'm so grateful for that. <3
Anywho, yeah, school's been keeping me busy lately. After a while I ended up forgetting about blogging entirely, and if I remembered, I just... never really felt up to posting, if you get what I mean? Idk, I'm exhausted after school, I like to spend my time in the evening after homework doing other things online, and I just wasn't sure what to post about. All of those things contributed.
Actually, now that I think about it, it was much more me being distracted and irresponsible than school discouraging me. But uh... teeeechnially it all traces back to school anyway... so blame it. c:
Okay okay, no, you can blame me for this one. I'm the one who didn't post for months and months because I was not responsible whatsoever. I'm really sorry about that... gosh, I feel awful that I've left you all hanging for so long. I know a few of you have been chatting with me all this time anyway, but for the rest of you that wondered why I disappeared into the shadows of... hiatus-ness, I sincerely apologize - I really, really do. I missed talking to everyoneeee. And I hope me not posting didn't annoy/anger anyone or anything, ack! Sorry again, DX.
But I'm posting now because blogging has just been on my mind lately, and I really didn't want 2019 to come and the blog still be dead! That just doesn't exactly seem right to me - not quite sure why, honestly.
But yeah, I've been thinking about making this post for a little while now. So uh, here I am! XD
And actually, writing this, man, I didn't realize how much I missed writing posts! It feels good to do it again. c:
So I'm very glad to announced that I think I'll be coming back to the WJN at last! I've got some changes to make to the blog, some posts to catch up on, and I need to get back into the community! But I'm looking forward to it all. ;)
I won't be posting again until after New Year's, so I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your December, and that your New Year's Day is great as well! And merry/happy late Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or whatever you may celebrate, XD! I hope to see you all again very soon. <3

(P.S. What'd you guys get for Christmas? Or whatever you celebrate? I love hearing what everyone got, hehe! c:
