Hey there, cats and kittens and truly
hoopy froods! I know I've been incommunicado for a year now. The last
any of you heard from me (in Ohana Means Family), my crazy little
world had been thrown into turmoil. My heart had been atomized when my
Lifemate broke up with me, cast me out of the polyamorous family we were
supposed to be building together, and generally frakked my head up
something righteously fierce. After writing Ohana Means Family, I
really didn't have it in me to work on much of anything. It wasn't very
fun being me at that time. All the joy in the world had kinda skipped
out on me, you know?
In the year since last I uploaded
Strangeness here, my heart has mended. I have had all kinds of way cool
adventures, and I even managed to have a pretty wonderful romance with a
Beautiful, Purple-Headed Princess before that bleeding prick, the
Dragon of Insurmountable Time, took her captive and forced us to return
to a platonic relationship. But the Dragon of Insurmountable Time
couldn't keep the Princess of Purple Hair entirely out of my life -- she
and I are still good friends. So, pththththtlp! to the Dragon of
Insurmountable Time!
Along the way, I've picked up a
number of super-cool-awesome friends that have decided that the Mad
Cheshire is simply too adorable to not have in their lives! ^_^
There's been a British Anime Cutie, a Bat in a Snowstorm, a Rabbit
Enchantress, a mated pair of Witchy Ravens, and an elderly Witch who
Loves my Origami. They have all deliberately exposed themselves to The
Strangeness (frak me if I know why!), while going out of their way to
make my life significantly richer for their presence in it. At the same
time, they've been responsible for getting me back to my
super-cool-awesome self again.
Besides that, there's been
holes in space-time, irritable raccoons, a time-hopping cuttlefish with a
flair for home decor, and a few brain sucking mind flayers who turned
out to be damn fine conversationalists. All in all, things have been
wild.
In the last couple months, several people have
written to me asking when my next installment of Strangeness would be
uploaded to the Blogosphere. When it was pointed out that a frakking year had passed since my last upload, I felt I deserved to be kicked really hard in the 'nads for neglecting you all for so long.
I really didn't mean to abandon you guys. Those of you who follow me on
this Blog have been the best kind of super-cool-awesome, kick ass
people a fun loving wildcard like me could ever want. For my absence, I
apologize to you all, and I hope that those of you who have enjoyed my
antics & exploits so far will continue to stick with me as we return
to our irregularly scheduled Strangeness.
Stay tuned, people, everyone's favourite Mad Cheshire is back and the Strangeness is just getting started!
