So there has been a lot that's gone down in the past few years.

And I do mean a LOT. So much that I don't really even know where to start.

I suppose starting from my move would be as good a place as any. I found myself in Vegas for a few years, and it was good enough to get back on my feet, reorient myself and really buckle down for getting myself back on track. Well. Mostly anyways, at least in the broad strokes. I was working crazy hours and wound up getting my own studio which was... Well, it was small, cramped and not of much use aside from sleeping, but it was mine, and that counted for a lot for where I was at. It was lonely, and honestly save for my yearly excursions to FC, I never really even spent time with or saw anyone. I was living to work.

Started dating Huttsergreywolf, and honestly as of this we've been together for 4 years. It's been a ride, and then some honestly, and sharing my life with another person has been wonderful. Scary, terrifying, and more then a little harrowing for my own sense of self but I think we've been doing well enough for one another, and that brings me more contentment then I can really put into words.

A little under 3 years ago, things shifted. Substantially.

Mom was diagnosed with cancer. My sister needed me closer, and I had to go back home. I dropped everything that I could as things got worse, and treatment didn't solve anything.

I won't really go into details, but the situation went south very, very fast. Her cancer accelerated.

She died after less then a year.

I really don't remember anything of the weekend after that point, to be honest. The next three days just don't exist in my brain from there.

I moved back to California and moved in with Huttser and Equi, and after a brief stint in San Diego we moved further north, and we're working on finding a place to call a proper home, after all is said and done. Things are different. I moved on from retail work, quitting and I'm focusing on a career now, doing voice acting/voice over, which I will do for folks for a modest fee.

I'm older. More tired, certainly. Life was never about the pursuit of my own pleasure and more about survival, but I've come through with a lot more scars, and more focused on being a better person then I was yesterday, backsteps and failures and all. I'm cutting out a... SUBSTANTIAL amount of information, but I think there's only so much time in the day, and I'd rather not bog folks down.

Twitter is... a Thing. You can find me there CanisTenebris if you really want to keep more apprised of my day to day situation but man... I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the people in my life that care about me. My friends have kept me focused, keep me grounded and believing in a future.

Life just keeps on happening, you know? Gotta keep on moving.
