If you're wondering who the heck Hiraeth is... it'sa me, Ashley. Formerly emptyhanded09. Needed a change and I paid LJ for that privilge.

I'm (trying) to come back to HiH and the LJ community at large. Again.

I hope you all are well!

Back. Going to rename. Going to do stuff again. Just... Back.

i think i'll be posting most of my new updates here. don't worry, not leaving LJ. just need something new. 

i don't even know what i'm doing any more or why the hell i'm doing it or what the fuck is in it for me.

today is just not a good day.

We made it, friends. We have officially entered 2013 without any major catastrophes. It's a miracle.

I spent NYE on my couch in my pjs with my boyfriend. It was simple and lovely. It was nice to have a holiday that was just ours. No obligations other than be clothed enough to answer the door when Danny's Chinese delivered our food.

As for resolutions, I'm not making any. Usually I make a few only to have them swiftly forgotten. This year, I'm going to skip the whole process. However, changes will be made. I'm going to be more conscious of what I eat. I'm going to go to the gym as often as possible. These two changes will hopefully get me into wedding dress shape. Lol or one can hope.

How is your 2013 so far?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR BANNER HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below are comments with categories listed. Please submit your banners one category at a time using the textbox I will provide. I'll ask you for the category title, your username (so I can give you recognition a category at a time), and then I'll have you code in the images. Please just use the <*img src=> space next image blah blah blah and don't try any fancy centering stuff. The less coding, the better, so I can hopefully fit them all into one post. And please make sure that it all is in a textbox so I can just copy and paste the formatting in order to make it easy to peruse.

Like I said, let's see how this goes. If you're confused, please please ask questions. :)

So please use this textbox when you submit your banners (and remember to take out the stupid star at the end. I hate having to use the star)

<textarea*><b>[category name here] by <lj user="YOURUSERNAME"> <br> insert banner coding and then remove the * in </textarea*>

Thank you all for being so understanding. These past couple of weeks have been insane for sure. Thank you so so so much for making these banners.

The following is completely and shamelessly copied from Sara's banner post from previous terms. Sara is the most amazing person and I don't know what I would do... lol

ANYWAY HERE WE GO

 Thank you all for the birthday wishes on LJ, Facebook, Twitter and text :D I have some of the best friends in the world. 

I got a little curious about what my horoscope would say today (recently i've been strangely fascinated by astrology) and I stumbled across this interesting find...

( curiosity never killed the birthday girlCollapse )

so yeah... :D
