No need to be quiet! I'm glad to see you around again... even if it's, uh, 3 months later that I replied.

Please don't get anxious about me. I'm indestructible. Sort of like that recurring infection that you think dies down but then pops up again a few months later. Anyway, I hope you're doing good, and that I can post something soon.

Don't worry about late replies; it's frankly a miracle that I ended up checking my dA messages today instead of weeks from now. I haven't been on much at all in the last few months either.

I will get anxious about everyone about as consistently as that recurring infection will show up. What happened was that we started getting reposts of natural disasters all over around the same time you vanished so I just... sort of... hoped for a very long time that I was being paranoid? And I was and I love being wrong in this particular instance!! I'll look forward to you posting something and check in more often to try and avoid missing much.

Yay for miracles!

Ugh, yeah, that was a pretty bad time for me to disappear, huh. That's always something I've wondered about on the internet. If you get abducted by aliens or something, how are your internet friends supposed to know? Someone should make an app for that.

That said, I'm sorry for making you worry, and I'll do my level best to check in more periodically from now on. I hope I see you around often too!

BeaBae In reply to iammirgarcia [2014-10-16 19:51:47 +0000 UTC]

Yes!  

Yeah, that's something that's honestly bothered me a lot too. What I"ve usually seen done is another online friend would come and make a post at the page saying that the person's deceased, but.. that requires the ability of a person to post on the page, so on something like tumblr or a private blog, you'd be pretty well unable to let anyone know at all. I'm not sure how an app for that would even work since no matter what, it'd require someone from irl to acitvate it and know what blogs you had? So idk.

It's fine! I'm just super relieved and glad that my anxiety was misplaced. I look forward to talking to you more too! (though my replies are still pretty late; oops? ) How's your October going so far?

Maybe on the event of your death, your lawyer is supposed to activate the app, and the app just goes through all of the accounts you've enrolled in it to announce that you've passed away. That way even if no one knows about that super-secret online dating profile, the app could shut it down for you. Someone should totally invent this. Lol!

And, uh, wow. That got morbid.

Pffft, late replies are a-okay with me! What matters is getting them.

Well, for most of October I've had no voice. It's pretty funny trying to get around work with mostly gestures and facial expressions! I'm thinking it's stress, but I'm still mostly fine. Just working on building up a nest egg nowadays. How about you?

BeaBae In reply to iammirgarcia [2014-11-04 08:09:00 +0000 UTC]

Ah yeah that'd be a good way to do it. If I can find someone who udnerstands technology on my campus I might mention the idea to them, I'm sure it'd be pretty popular! I know I for one have always sort of worried about that kind of thing so... probably the biggest logistical challenge would be figuring out how to have it post in so many different places though. Like, for dA I assume you'd want to post a journal? But for tumblr you'd do a text post, twitter you'd do something else, etc. etc. so I don't know how you'd rig it up to all those different platforms effectively... 

Thanks

Ah, wow, that sounds awful. I hope your voice has recovered well? And you think it's stress-related and not vocal strain? I had no idea that could happen, wow, I'm really sorry about that! Uhhh I have no idea what has been happening the last few weeks. I'm sort of walking the fine line between feeling unworthy of things and knowing logically everyone is worthy, myself no different, if that makes sense? Mostly I'm balancing several small strains of stress trying to stop them from becoming a big stress tangle. On the up side I may finally have some personal income instead of relying enitrely on relations finally!

 I hope your november is going better than your october did!

Hmm, I haven't thought about that! Well... Perhaps it could be a simple auto-sender. I mean, the user would pre-create a custom tumblr post, tweet, etc., and the app will simply post all of them together on the event of his or her tragic demise. I can almost see it happening.

It has not yet recovered. I'm at the point where I'm pretending to be the Little Mermaid so I could deal. It's pretty funny in a way, I guess?  

Damn, I hate stress tangles. I hope you're feeling better. I'm trying to deal with mine by writing it all out and planning what to do next, but sometimes this black cloud just descends and all I could do is eat lots of chips and cry while listening to Bette Midler and Whitney Houston.

BeaBae In reply to iammirgarcia [2014-11-24 08:57:20 +0000 UTC]

yeah that would probably work really well! Hmmm... I wonder if there's a how-to-make-apps guide out there, because like 99c for an app that at least 1 billion people could use, I mean like... hey.
Though I can also totally see people setting up the app and activating it just to send out a ridiuclous "post mortem" message or give people a scare, which is like, awful, but I guess that would't be able to be helped. 

At least you have the best way of coping. You would be a very cool little mermaid I bet

I'm getting there. I finally got some writing done so that's helping, and now I just have to actually get things done over this semester. Eating chips, crying, and listening to Bette Midler adn Whitney Houston sounds pretty good through. Is your stress tangle unraveling I hope?

Oh no, everyone knows our secret dA identities! Lol!

Anyway, no prob. It was an incredible concept. I know you said it's about faith and hope, but I'd also like to think it's about a character crawling out of the pages and becoming real.

Going to be going the Creative Writing Major and likely Technical Writing minor to get the ins and outs of publishing and editing, so hopefully I can have a decent career in writing while still be able to do it for leisure or maybe get published myself one day. ^^

Hi! Aww, I missed you too...

I'm up to my ears in work, but I'm hoping it'll get better soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I just read your journal, and my goodness, this sounds like such an exciting period for you! I'd give my eyeteeth to see Edinburgh. Congratulations!!! I know you'll do great whichever uni you choose.
