Well I am back from my long hiatus...and much has happened!
Well I am back from my long hiatus...and much has happened!

Before I start, at the end I am going to be posting a little Valentines Day link so If anyone doesn't want to read all this just scroll to the end and enjoy!

First I would like to apologize to any of my "fans" who have been wondering, dare I say...worring about me? Haha but anyway I am back, and I will try to write as long as I can!

It is amazing that it has been nearly 5 months I was absent from this blog. Gosh I used to write a blog a day, and they were almost always fairly long. But those days faded, life changed, as it always does. I grew apart from Star Wars little by little. I cant even think of all the things that have altered in my life off the top of my head..its all just too much.

My reading was pitiful. During this whole absence I only read 2 SW books (The Truce at Bakura + X-Wing Rouge Squadron.)

Well for one I became a lot more social and involved. I made many more friends instead of reading or witting alone. A little while before Christmas I met my current girlfriend of 2 months and well it's been pretty good.

My grades also improved a decent amount so things were going very well. Since I dropped 2 very difficult classes ( at least to me!) and switched into more reasonable ones, I have been able to enjoy my educational experience more.

For those of you who don't know or cannot recall, I am Andy( and please call me that!) a junior in High School. I am only 16, but I will be 17 in 8 days!

Hmm where next? Lets see... on Christmas day my cousin got me completely addicted to the Anime Fullmetal Alchemist. Wow. That became my obsession over Star Wars. I know I must sound like the devil to you all now but from x-mas to a little while ago FMA(for short) was all I thought about. Of course nothing could ever replace Star Wars in my heart but that Anime is so inspiring, the journey. The whole time SW just slipped away and I was completely absorbed by that amazing anime(oh alliteration!) :D

But yes I intend to integrate things more now. For example, I used to be all SW and that's it. It was my life and that was it. Family, blow off school, come home, and boom; Star Wars. No offense but that's not the right way to live. I no longer played any of the video games I loved. I completely neglected all my other interests as I let one main one simply consume me.

As of now I am addicted to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for Nintendo Gamecube. Therefore I was blowing off all other stuff. Gosh its tough to balance so many great things! Before that I was more into (for the lack of a better word) my girlfriend; but she said I was too clingy so I pulled back a bit so its all good now. And for Valentines day.my birthday she got me Zone of the Enders, Dolores I. Its and Anime, thank my cousin for getting me into that! Yeah so I watched as much of that as I could today and more addiction!

Wow it's nice to be writing again, Thanks to any of you who actually read all of that! I look forward to getting to meet all my old pals that I left behind, and I hope they can forgive me!

So glad to be at this again! As I said earlier, I got to work my hardest to balance my life out...I can't be the same caliber fan as I was before, no more die-hard Andy here but I always was, and always will be a Star Wars fan at heart!

Ah I can't wait to push that "Publish This Entry" button...its been too long!

P.S. If anyone can tell me if anything changed around here at all I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!:D

*Edit*

Another distraction, which I cannot BELIEVE I forgot, it my love for sports, particularliy Baseball, and the Mets. I also play Deck Hockey and I am going to do Track. Now those are all non-winter things so they are not absorbing any of my time now.
