HELLO EVERYONE. Sorry I have been MIA for like a year or so... I have been going through some new transitions in life! But I miss coming online and talking to everyone/working on sites!

I am currently finishing up my first year in Grad school for Urban & Regional Planning! I have been learning a lot, and doing a lot of hands on things... so it's been tough for me to find time for my hobbies.

For people who don't know me, I am Megan, and I run like-knives.org :)

Hope to reconnect with you all soon!

HAY GURL HAY! Welcome back!!<3 Hope things are going well for you! I'm so excited for you and on getting into your grad program. I've been super terrible at keeping in contact and being social-media-present, but I wanted to know that I think about you all the time! :D

Late response, but I understand exactly what you are going through. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with my second child, and time for me to work on shrines or even have the motivation is very limited. Good luck with your school and future plans!!

Thanks for the warm welcoming everyone!! I have missed you all as well. I think about this community often. I am saddened by my lack of time and how things change as we all get older! However, the online community since 2005 has always been welcoming and made me feel like I had a second home! I hope to reconnect with you all this year and see how things are going for everyone.

@Medii - Congrats on your second-baby-to-be! Such a beautiful time. <3

@Robin - I am specializing in neighborhood and community development. I am currently interning this summer with my cities Urban Planning department and getting a feel of the public sector. Realistically, I will either be on the private side or non-profit side helping to create the neighborhoods that each community wants to see. It also will help to combat gentrification through zoning and rent ceilings, etc! I am just interested, and always have been, in environmental racisms which effect low-income and racial minority communities. Living near the Great Lake region, we see a lot of this against our waterfronts where our poor communities are suffering. I hope to work with those communities in order to better their livelihoods without trying to shield their own individual voices and community concerns. :)
