hey guys,
sorry i've been gone for so long. i was hospitalized for my depression last tuesday night. just got back home today.

Oh wow, Feather I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're better! Welcome back. 🙂 *hugs*

We're glad you're back, feather!

I will be out of town from Thursday to Sunday for a friend's wedding. Chances of my checking in are likely, though!

Welcome back, Feather! I hoped you wouldn't be off TLC for too long. 🙂

Have fun, Ariel!

Got back safe last night. 🙂

I am back from London!

And because I say I'll write a story and then never get around to it here are some highlights in case I never get around to a full write up-

Westminster Abbey was the peak. It's a gorgeous sacred space and getting to see the tombs of several people that I greatly admired was so inspiring. I didn't find the Tolkien or Lewis monuments there, but I feel good knowing that they are there. It also drove home just how so much of the stuff I saw in the UK was older than America's entire history.

Didn't go into the House of Parliment but it looks like a castle standing next to it. Pretty awesome.

I loved using public transportation. I was nervous at first, but I got the hang of it on the first day and for a large city it really makes a ton of sense. The fact that I actually enjoyed using public transport has me seriously considering looking for jobs there.

Stonehedge wasn't disappointing like I expected it to be. I think it's partly because the weather was perfect when we went and it just contrasted the country side absolutely beautifully.

I'm up for specific questions in the chat thread if anyone wants to know more about my holiday 🙂

Welcome back, Tooky! So glad you had a great time!

Starting tomorrow night, I'm on vacation, so my coming on may be patchy for the next week and a bit.

Psst, in case you haven't read the other threads I posted in, I'M BAAACK! 🙂 Yep, it's all true, the Dwarfmin is back.

Hi, Niffum! I don't know what it used to be like on the forums (I'm relatively new...), but right now the "Tirian, Tirian, Jewel" thread is the most active place right now. It's kind of turned into a chat thread. 😛 That's where you'll usually find everyone. Don't know if that's helpful information or not, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. 🙄

Hi, Niffum!
Nice to hear from you again!

The forum's a little slow now, but I'm sure it will be more active once it gets closer to The Silver Chair's release.

I'm back from vacation and will hopefully catch up on everything soon!
(Welcome back, Niffum!)

So it's been a while but hello everyone. I'm back.

Oh my. Stew.

Stew.

I just....I just finished watching some emotional TV and I need to calm down. By the Lion Stew's back.

Everyone meet my bestest friend ever on TLC!!!!

(Seriously. We need to talk. We're different people now.)

Hi, Stew! I'm Tenny. I think you left right after I joined. 🙂 Welcome back!
