Personal stuff: I got married in May of last year and around that time there had been a few terrorist attacks in Turkey and Europe that made my Turkish husband and I uneasy. The coup was the final straw for us. I had to leave Istanbul suddenly and I also lost my very boring job that used to allow me a lot of time for poking around on MB.
Since then I've been spending important time with family in Maine and Florida and just haven't had as much downtime. On top of that I got lucky with a new job plus tons of freelance work.
I think of MB often because I really did like it here and I feel like I got to know some of you well. I'm sorry I never said bye, it was a gradual disconnect and I only realized after a while that I had stopped coming here completely. Didn't mean to scare you!
And Batlord, yeah, the drama here is a little much sometimes, but that's what keeps us coming back for more amirite?? To be perfectly honest it's easy to leave when you don't feel you fit in that much, I think it's safe to say I was always in my own little world on MB 
When Aux-In showed up I was like ok MB has a good source of music now, they don't need me anymore!!
I do regret not being able to cover Eurovision this year. I hope you can go on without me, guys...

Congrats on all the positive changes (including staying away form MB
). Looking back a bit, I think I could've been more engaging with you in regard to musical discussion and things like that. No one I know in real life likes my music, so when you showed up in my journal, I think I was a bit surprised more than anything; that you knew the artists' names ahead of time
. I was kind of doing my Aux-In thing at the time, so I think I was a little more "matter-of-fact" to some of your responses than I needed to be. No excuses for me, although I need to work on my Internet pleasantries sometimes.
Anyway, welcome back.
