Oh my... it has been around half a year since I have been really active on anything. Originally (October/November/December-February), I just didn't feel much like getting on a lot. I'm not sure why. I was having some ups and downs - things did get better though!
Well since the end of March I haven't had much time for anything because my dad has been in the hospital. There have definitely been some really scary moments, as well as some extremely encouraging ones.
My dad went in for surgery to get an aneurysm clipped off, but after the surgery he stroked and has been in a coma ever since. There have been complications here and there, but luckily he just comes back even better each time.
I have to say I have learned more about the medical field than I ever thought I would.
Right now things are just going up up up. He is getting stable, and now we are just waiting for him to wake up! After that it will be off to rehab to get him back in shape.
He has been able to move quite a bit. We can tell him to lift up his thumbs and he will lift them up, and if we mess with his legs we can get him to pull them up. He has also opened his left eye a few times; it doesn't seem like he was tracking, but just opening his eye. It is definitely a positive sign though!
Here's to the future!
In some of my spare time I have actually been working a lot on some new hj stuff. I'm getting closer to finishing the forum index page, but I'm not quite there yet. It's a beautiful page, and I can't wait to release it. The new features I'm planning make the current site seem pretty dull. So get excited!!!
I apologize for not being on so much, and not telling some people why I have been away. I just haven't had much time at all lately. As long as things seem to be staying stable I will be trying to be on more. This hopefully means the new layout will be out soon. It's going to rule 8)
I would also like to bring up this video my brothers and I made. It's for the iCarly contest - you dance and sing along to the theme song. I feel we did a pretty good job, and would like to share it with everyone.
"For four hours leading up to the special, each iCarly cast member will take turns hosting Nick each hour, introducing their favorite iCarly episodes and telling behind-the-scenes stories. Plus, as a result of Nickelodeon's unprecedented on-air and online "Call to Action" enlisting kids to make their own music video by taping themselves singing the iCarly theme song, the cast will select and feature the winners during the marathon. The select videos uploaded and submitted (5/24-6/13) also will appear online on iCarly.com."

The four hours leading up to the movie will be 4pm/3 Central. Be sure to tune in! You just might see us on tv!
I will end this long-much needed-news post by saying that we haven't forgotten about you all; we have just been busy busy busy.
Its okay that your not so much anymore, we understand but miss you at the same time :'(
That iCarly video is amazing. I' am honestly jealous that we were never allowed, (or even could for that matter) make a video that awesome in video tech.

I miss being so active. Once my life settles down I will be on a lot more. HJ will be a much better place! I miss you all too ;_;

I think so! Links are nice and all, but having the video right there is really nice for lazy people!

Alright, I will see what I can do. I just don't want to have videos all over the place; I will probably limit a post to one video, and then when you post a topic you may be able to have a couple more or something. We will see how it goes!
Speaking of links... I should probably fix them sometime!

I messed up a few times here and there. I guess I just haven't mastered the art of singing and dancing at the same time. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
My brothers didn't do any singing though - minus the "I'm tellin' you just how I feel" bit; they were just dancin' away ;)
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T PICK US THOUGH. I MEAN WHAT AFHKLJFHDKJ WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT AWHYYYYYYYYYYY!?Edkw
