I’ve been updating like a mad woman this week. I rather like it, I think I’m getting back into the swing of things. I’ve been so stressed that I haven’t been able to make a new layout. The other night I got inspired and made one though. I think that’s why I’ve been lagging off on the site though, I was getting bored. When I get bored with it I usually make a new layout. Since that wasn’t happening I just sort of drifted off for awhile.

Katie came up Saturday, it was so good seeing her. You don’t realize how quickly time passes by until you stop and think about it. Katie and I have been best friends since we were little kids… and I mean little kids, we’re talking 2-3 years old. She’s like blood to me. I’d do anything in the world for that girl because I love her.

But we don’t see each other as much as we used to. I know I’ve written about this before. So I’ll skip over the details, but to sum it up: Katie and I lived pretty much next door to each other for about ten years then I moved about 45 minutes away. Neither of us had cars, so it made it hard to hang out as often. Over the years we’ve both drifted and gone our separate ways, but we still keep in contact and we’re still best friends. We just don’t hang out that often, no time on our parts. She works when I don’t, we both get busy and just forget to call. We have one of those friendships where when we get together it doesn’t seem like we haven’t hung out in ages, it seems like only yesterday we hung out together.

We did a lot of talking about the past the other day. It’s so easy to talk about with her, hell she was there through it all with me. We did a lot of talking about where we’ve been, where we are, and most importantly, where we’re going. I worry about her a lot. She gets off track easily and gets into bad places. It bothers me because I know that all I can do is talk to her and support her when she’s trying to get back on her feet, when what I’d really like to do is just jump in and save her. But I can’t do that, she can only save herself.

I was afraid before we got together and talked this time. Afraid she was falling back down into a really bad place, but when we talked I realized she isn’t going there again. She wants to pick herself up already. After hitting just a small bump in the road. She isn’t going to fall rock bottom this time. That makes me feel better about not talking to her more often. Sometimes I feel like it’s been my fault she’s fallen before. Because I haven’t been around as much as I should have been for her.

Anyway, I’ve gotta cut this short. Work time it is. Oh! I’ve changed a few pages and whatnot on the site. Links page is updated as well as the sidebar. And I’m getting around to returning comments guys, give me some time tonight. Also, Empyreus.Org is coming up on it’s first birthday near the end of the month.
