Shadows Coil: Winter Storms

Ok, so it's been way too long since I last posted here. I have been missing in action for an entire term, and I assure you it's not without good reason. It's been a turbulent couple of months for me, and it's all I can do to keep myself from giving up this site entirely. I've been exceptionally busy without getting anything done at all, and it's starting to show in my efforts to achieve even the smallest goal I set myself... this is however a little far forward in the story, so lets start at the beginning.

Since Matty came over, I've been struggling with a few truths, revelations and injustices. You'll all have to guess at what I mean by any of that because one of the disadvantages of posting now is that I can't stay long. I can however post now, and thats important seeing as I have missed out for a long time.

Winter is when my personality slows down the most, and I become very reclusive, preferring not to stray too far from the nest so to speak. I did a lot of damage throughout the formative months to quite a few friendships in leiu of a couple of others, and it's showing in my weaker months. I didn't do enough throughout my summer and autumn session and it shows. I feel oike this year is starting to slip away from me and I don't want that to happen. I'm gonna have to pull my finger out in my least comfortable time of the year. I have little option, and even less desire to do the opposite, so I guess I've lumped myself with an unfortable situation and it is well and truly up to me to make the most of what I have left.

Moving on, I have a six week break now, and I have to get my life in order as soon as I possibly can. Once upon a time, I was told I couldn't help anyone if I'm broken myself and while I'm not exactly broken, and am still a long way off to be honest, I don't wanna end up ending up like that, if it makes sense...

Now, I'm kinda done for the day. I'll try and get back on here and post alter, because this is still dismally short, but I'll try and get back to it. I'm just letting all you folks out there in net land that I'm not dead.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the
children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is not safer in the
long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or
nothing."

Australia just lost against Brazil :( but our team did good and Im proud of them... the quotes exactly right dude, looking at it from my science view point, if we were not exposed to the bacteria and virus' of this world then we would have no immunity, and no chance at survival. People may regret the past mistakes they have made, I say try not to regret but learn from them as much as you can.
And welcome back btw, I was going to wait for the two months before I started complaining. Fuck this has been a long first semester.

ps. I finally learnt to spell cant (be it without the correct grammer).

Welcome back to the land of the Internet long time with very little correspondence. Well I guess I get to have a go at unravelling the hidden meaning in your title however I doubt that with the little info I have that I will be able to get very far. On second thought I think that I will email my thoughts but its good to see you posting again
