New chapter of Eclipse is posted...

[mijan]

Well, my loves, I finished chapter 15, and it's now posted.  Here's the link to the new chapter:

Oh, and if you didn't notice, chapter 14 was posted just days before the release of HBP, and I suspect that many people didn't even notice, due to the excitement over the new book.  Believe me, my brain was being split in two directions at once.  So anyway, for some of you, I'm sure that means you've got two chapters to read at once!  I hope they live up to expectations.

Shattered? Wah! *huggles* Be happy! *clings* *gives cookies*

more tired than depressed, but can't deny a lingering saddness.

[*appreciates cookies and huggles*]

and i hope you had a swell bday (as it is almost over where you live).

Why are you sad, my dear? *hugs* Tell me?

I'm a bit depressed myself. Not the best birthday ever.

oh it is nothing much, just life. i've spent the last 3 years with my life in a continual upheaval due to living in a foreign country and it isn't settling down and i'm tired and a tad lonely.

it is all good, really, and i have great friends and a loving family (even if they are in other countries except for one or two of the friends) and a beautiful cat and one day i'll have a mate again, but right now i miss having a car, and a computer that does what i need and, well, it is all a bit petty actually, but it can get you down when it piles up.

i am so sorry to hear the bday was not the best.

Meep! Why are you living so far from home? Actually, where are you living, and what country is home? *gives love* I actually wish I could get out of my country for a few years... until we get a new president. *shudder* But no, your complaints are not petty. Being away from your family and friends is hard. Do you get to visit home often?

i'm an american ex-pat. from seattle area. been living in wellington, nz for 3 years. i really like new zealand and wellington is v. similar to seattle in a lot of ways, and i've met some great people and had some great experiences, but it gets lonely to be so far away from everyone (my mum has italian heritage, so i'm used to family and aunts and cousins). i miss family meals and it really, really sucks to be sick (just like when i get a cold or something) without family and friends around and no car (i haven't bought a car and such because i've been wrestling with immigration for 3 yrs so i kept waiting another few months for things to get settled, and then i'd end up switching forms and having a temp permit for 6 months and then, well, that is why i'v ebeen in upheaval for yrs). anyway, i've been back to the states twice, and mum and dad have each been out once, and my best friend has been out twice, and i'll be back in the states for TWH (stopping by seattle to visit much family and portland, or to visit brother, and wife and nephew and brand new niece/nephew).

i'm so babbling.

anyway, my life is good really, and i shouldn't complain, i wouldn't give up the last three yrs. and i've grown and changed a lot, just a little lost and lonely now. [*wibble*]

Wow, I've always wanted to go to New Zealand. I've seen pictures, and I've heard it's beautiful. But it must suck that you can't get properly settled. Why did you decide to move there in the first place? Work?

If I were rich, I'd come and visit you, for what it's worth. *hugs*

it is pretty here (though it's pretty lots of places in the world). and no, if i had come here for work, i wouldn't have had all the hassles with immigration. i came here because it felt right, and i do what spirit and instinct tell me too. it has been a wild ride, and i don't regret it. despite all the hurdles and difficulties, i am in a far better spot than i would have been if i didn't listen to my gut.

((hugs))

Well, I'm glad that overall, it's a positive thing. I'm waiting for my gut instinct to tell me what to do about my life. So far... not much. You're lucky.

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

You're lucky

or perhaps just eons older than you [*grin*] (i'm 41). and lately, i am a bit lost as to what i am supposed to be doing next to further along my journey. [*shrug*] the signs are there for both you and i, we just need to dredge through the crap first in order to see them clearly.

(((hugs)))

*hugs back* You're right. Age and wisdom and all that jazz, yes? *huggles again*
