Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

Hey all!

I've missed you tons. I wish I could be more active here right now, but after going back and forth about the next steps for me-- I'd been wanting to pursue coding, and I ended up deciding to enroll full time at a local college.

I'm currently taking 6 classes and going for my A.A.S. in Software Development, and filling my semesters so I can graduate in 3 semesters instead of two years.

So, that's why I'm le disappeared. I apologize for not posting here earlier, but it swept me away quite suddenly- and just supporting my housemate who is back to school teaching (and all the unfortunate lack of safety or protocols that currently go with being a teacher-- and they teach as a specialist, so see most of the kids in the school every day)

My voice has dropped quite a bit (for any not aware-- I started testosterone back on May 1st), and I've lost a bit at the top of my extreme soprano range, and in general it's weirder/ more difficult to sing up there now. I've started working on Judas' opening song from JC Superstar and I AM HERE FOR IT. So it's been fun to find some music again to fit my voice fairly well-- since singing for a while (and sometimes still) can be frustrating/exhausting.

You can all thank @Zôrzimril for letting me know there were Halloween icons-- I just had to see this Loki face grace my name for a bit.

Again. Miss you all bunches; I pop on and lurk occasionally as able. In the future I'll come wreak code havoc on the Plaza come be a helpful and productive member of Plaza society.

Much love to y'all!

-Your friendly neighborhood Loki Toast

So good to see you around even for just a bit, Toasty!

Toasty!!

Every time I see you lurking around my day is made a little brighter and a little more mischievous. I'm super happy for you and the journey you're on! Full support blob! I look forward to hearing all about it

Glad you are keeping busy, come visit when you can! <3

Congratulations on all the awesome news!

6 classes, wow! Go you! Glad to hear things are well and look forward to seeing you back whenever you can.

@Burnt Toast, I was actually wondering if you'd pop by just to claim Loki!

It's great to see you here, even if just for a moment. I've missed having you around! Good luck with your pursuits. I'll be supporting you from here.

Ahh, thank you all! You make a Toast feel so warm and loved.. All.. toasty inside. I miss you all tons, and shall peek in here periodically and update! Much love to you all!
Okay, I have to go do homework now... But I'll leave a Loki clone behind to cause mischief.

and @Dwimmerlaik -- of course I had to XD

@skekSil --- OOOH heck yes. I will add that to my daily work list. That song is amazing! I've got lots of random lil blonde peach fuzzies all over my face now. Had a dream I had a full beard last night. Unfortunately I didn't wake up with one. BOO

Glad to read that you're doing well! You were a delight to RP with during the M. Meduseld competition, and I'm still sad that you had to pull out of the final round. (This is Taethowen.)

Hello my favourite piece of scorched sliced bread @Burnt Toast! You sound very busy.
