So, I ressurect from the abyss of non-visiting lots of LOTS OF my Internet places - again. What was the reaseon for the absence this time, you may ask, and you may be kinda annoyed and tired of my constant excuses and big returns... And you would be right. I kinda hate myself for not being able to find time to do all the things I would like to do (being on TV.com is one of them, for instance). Bzt let me explain.
First of all, I lost my job. Yeah, the general crisis is to blame, it was not my fault, etc. etc., but I kinda lost some of my confidence and stability with it too. Especially in the time of crisis, when my husband`s job is not as stabile as it seemed when he started working, and when we need entire one paycheck for paying the rent and the bills, so I kinda freaked out a bit. Okay, a lot. In situations like this one, I tend to become very injustice-intolerant and ask myself questions like "Why can other people live normally, without having to worry would they have anything to eat and can even travel and never seem to lack any money, and I always have to bleed for every penny and never seem to have enough to go anywere, even to Croatian cost, let alone XCon or something like that?". So I was kinda depressed - until I got a job in a primary school where I started working few days ago as a counselor. It is not in my city, so I have to travel by train, and it is in two shifts, so I will need some time to adjust, but a job is a job - especially in the time of the crisis.
Other thing was the SFeraKon, Croatian biggest and oldest SF convention for which I had to spend many hours of my time in the last two months. I took more responsibilites than last year and practically all my spare time was dedicated to my part of organization. SFeraKon was great this year, seems to me, althought there are people who complain always - and they even don`t know what hard work it is.
And then there were X-Files - not per se, but as in "creating, advertising and administering the first Croatian X-Files forum" - you know, there was never an organized X-Files fandom here in Croatia and I kinda decided to try to change that. So I created the forum (X-Files Croatia ,if there are any Croatian-speakers here that might be interested), advertised it, tried to pull as many people in as possible, and even held a lecture on the phenomenon of X-Files at SFeraKon... It took me a lot of time - and is taking time still, and it WILL take lots of my time in the future because I am the administrator and have to be present there - and WANT to be present, because it is nice finally having some people to whom I can talk about X-Files in Croatian. Probably I`ll be Croatian liason for Believe in the Future project too, it seems... And I`m trying to get people together and find a place for XF screenings, maybe even Scully marathon some day...
And of course, there was the issue of my first novel, which is written and waiting for editorial comments... If lucky, it will be published in June, if not, then in September.
So you see, I`m really hoping for a day of 48 hours... If I wasn`t such a sleep-addict, I`d sleep less and do more, but I am not able to do that... So, I guess I`m trying to apologize for not showing up here for such a long time - and not being able to promise it won`t happen again. This is the very first online place that gave me the opportunity to talk about XF with someone who is not my husband 
- but as it seems now, I doubt I will have enough time for it
