Why hello there, internet.

I know, I know—I never write anymore, I never answer calls. It's not that I've been avoiding you, but life gets busy, you know? I just needed a little space.

About—let me check my watch here—five years worth of space? Can that be right? Maybe it was six. How time flies.

I've missed you, you know. I've wanted to come back for a long time. I have a thing with Twitter now, and it's great... but sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough. I dream of creating serious content, something with real depth.

Well not right now, of course. One must ease into these things.

What's that? You don't remember me? Well of course, it's been such a long time. Let's start over:

I'm Sara Chicazul, maker of things.
