Hello From A Reintroduction

[Guest Michael J.]

Wow, is it really October?

It feels like June was last month.

Regardless, I wanted to reintroduce myself. I haven't been here often, and not actively. Given how long ago it seems that I was here, I figured that this might be appropriate, I guess; forgive me if I'm mistaken. It's always awkward going somewhere, disappearing, and then coming back in a blink when you've had time, and I figured fresh starts are as good as any.

For those who don't know / don't remember, I'm Michael, Mike, Mikey, Mick, or whatever strikes fancy in abbreviation notations, although I prefer Michael in full. I'm an FTM - as the little side profile notes. I'm midway through my sophomore year of college, in a Media Arts and Animation program (tough stuff). A lot's happened in relation of June - October. For one, I turned nineteen, and I just noticed the happy birthday wishes on my profile; thank you in the belated sense! It was an extremely happy birthday. Ah-ha. After a nice, long vacation in Toronto (ironically during Pride Week!), I made my way back to Nevada and came out on campus 100%. Best decision of my life for anyone who remembers my hapless woe of ... Four months ago? Huge spike in grade improvement, and a lot more exciting things that don't need to clog an introduction.

I'm hoping to keep myself glued here this time around. My sentiments are the same; this is a wonderful forum and I'm grateful it's here.

Welcome back, Michael!

I do remember you and I am glad that you have made such wonderful progress - Congratulations!

As to whether you should have posted this here in the introductions forum, let me answer that by bringing you some fresh baked cinnamon rolls,

See you did it right and you got rewarded!

So good to see you and I know that a lot of the others will be glad to see you back again.

Love ya,

Sally

Hey, Mikey!

Welcome back, Honey!

Geez it's been a while since I last saw you around here....

I was starting to think that you skipped out on that 10 bucks that you owed me......

Good to see your smiling face again!

HUGGS!

Hello Michael,

I have joined since you left. So it's nice to meet you. I always enjoy checking out the new guys. Nice body dude, have you been working out?

I have brought you some chocolates. I don't bake like Sally but, this is the good stuff...Lindt chocolate testicles! you can have two.

I agree this is a great place and having you back makes it all the better. So tell us more about you great acomplishments. We really want to know.

Please share some of your art with us also.

Peace & Love Amanda

Aw, thanks for all of the replies - I really appreciate it! And all sweets are delicious and well loved! I was just nervous that I might be out of step posting another introduction here, so I'm happy to hear I wasn't mistaken. It's a pleasure to see lots of people have joined while I've been gone too, and I'll be sure to share some of my art one of these days! I'm hoping to have some nice animations by next year, so there will be a lot to share for certain.

I wouldn't say accomplishments so much as news and good timing. :] Such as around the same time I came out on campus, the school counselor signed up for an external program that brought the school a network of licensed therapists who we all get four free sessions from. I haven't yet figured out if that's four per quarter or four over-all, but, regardless, it was big news in the realm of accessible therapy for me when I've been aching to go for such a long time. I'm just in a pickle of transportation, but that seems to be shaping out well too, as I may have found a job where a friend works, and a doubly awesome job where I can be out and work at the same time without issues or a lot of paranoid fear, as the manager has evidently heard all about me in the last week. Hopes for that to go well, but it looks good.
