Bandit's back!

Ohmygosh, youguysarestillhere. <333

Seriously though, it's good to see BTH getting back on its feet again.

Yes, I know I've had many returns and departures over the years, but I'm fairly certain I'm here to stay this time. I've graduated college, have a full-time job with solid hours (9AM - 5PM), and I have a pretty solid block of free time every night. So I'm good. Really. I promise. :3

Anyway, about me -- I'm 22 and have been on and off BTH since its founding in 2008. I work as a UI developer. I live in a beautiful apartment about a mile away from work with my boyfriend, Shawn. We've been together for over a year and have every intention of getting married... someday. xD (Shawn introduces us to people saying we're "practically engaged." We'd like to have a little fun traveling before we get married and have plans to go to Disney World, Niagara Falls, and Cedar Point at the very least before we settled down, so that's where all the "ring" money is going for the next few years, lol.) I have a cat, Cinder (whom I adopted from the local shelter and coincidentally looks a lot like Thievingstreak -- black kitty, white patch on chest, though thankfully not half-blind!), and a crested gecko, Jabberfluffy.

I'm on Facebook if anyone would like to friend me and pester me about posts. xD Please message me for the link!

At any rate, it's great to be back. ;D

I was sooooo surprised to see you back! It was like a mini-heart attack! (a good one!) Like a serious flashback moment! I can't believe how old all of us now!!
it's kind of hard to wrap your head around it

but i'm so happy that you have a job! and that you're happy! that's pretty much all i want (:
and we're glad as hell to be roleplaying with you again! Haha, Blazingpaw and Thievingstreak need to be reacquainted

because - if i remember correctly those two used to be mentor/apprentice and his current mentor hasn't been on in awhile - so maybe we could bring that back

Haha, I got scared for a second there when you said you had a mini-heart attack. I assumed the worst. "Oh no, Bandit's back!" Glad to know it was a... good sort of startlement? Lol.

Yes, I'm very happy. I couldn't believe I managed to snag a job straight out of college. I interned there last summer and when my internship was ending, my manager asked if I could work part-time as a contractor while I finished school. My senior year I telecommuted from my dorm, and a few months after that started, before I had even graduated, they offered me a full-time job with great benefits. I met my boyfriend at the internship and he was offered a position as well. Different department -- baseline development (I work in UXD, or User Experience Design). So we both work at the same company and he's across the hall from me. Couldn't ask for a better deal.

Anyway, job aside! We totally need to get a Thievingstreak/Blazingpaw thread going! Even if his new mentor does come back, those two have great... whatever the opposite of chemistry is. Anti-matter, or something. xD Now I need to go to bed! It's past midnight and I have work in the morning. But I was just so excited ohmygosh! :3

The opposite of chemistry is English. I would know. i'm a Chemistry major lol. Wrong Chemistry i guess lol

It's good to have you back bandit!
