The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, June 17th
LORNE: (singing smoothly) It's not that easy being green. Having to spend each day the color of the leaves. When I think it could be nice enough...
GUNN: No one seems to be bothered by the fact that he's a demon.
FRED: They must think it's all make-up, like the Blue Man Group. (pauses, to Angel) You don't think the Blue Man Group...
ANGEL: Only two of them.

An unwanted sabbatical
Hi y’all. All my wonderful friends, my wonderful followers, my beautiful, awesome, much-appreciated readers and supporters. I’ve been noticeably absent from Tumblr since...well, since school started here (I work at a public school). I’ve been slammed from day one this year and have been riding a wave of personal stuff going on (thankfully things are ok, just a lot to handle day-to-day).
I want each and everyone of you to know that I am reading, but not able to comment as I usually do, which kills me. I love showing how much your work affects me in all the ways. I love how @star-spangled-man-with-a-plan makes me cry, then scream with frustration, then get all smooshy and wiggly, then excited and happy....I miss how @captain-rogers-beard makes me smile when she posts and I lose myself in her wondrous writings. I miss @gifsbysimplysonia‘s daily updates and her wonderfully insightful comments and observations on all things. @jamesbarnesappreciationsociety is one of the kindest, most supportive, and sweet women out there whom I don’t get to talk as often and I miss her. @dispatchvampire I mean c’mon, the woman is cranking out published works every week and she is on fire and I want to be in on that. @fictivefrolic is there for me everyday. She checks in and is one of those friends that you know will be there, and I am so grateful. @sunriserose1023 I am internally crying because I can’t, in all good conscious, read everything you write because I will forget the deadlines that beckon and the students that require my full attention each and everyday.
Ok, I’m realizing that this is rambling and self-indulgent, and for that I’m sorry, but I just wanted you all to know I am ok, just getting in the groove of the life and home balance. Every year it seems to change and no matter I’ve been doing it for 21 years, there’s always something new to learn.
I miss each and every one of you, sincerely, deeply, and dearly. I am here, lurking, and I pray you don’t forget me. I certainly could never forget my Tumblr home, it holds an irreplaceable place in my soul.
MUAH - Steph
