most recent writeup: Where I'm Calling From, A Grand Don't Come For Free

I'm back for a bit. only for a bit, mind. I haven't time. And yet, and yet. Well, give me a smack if you see me on here too often. Also disagree with me liberally (by which I mean a lot, not, y'know, like you're one of those masachussetts pinkoes necessarily) if you want to, that'd be fun. I will node my homework and fuck off back to life again. Have to say though, no other medium of publication offers quite the immediacy of response that this does, for better or worse. Thanks for saying nice things, and also for pointing out that I'm a complete tosspot. (Cute little anglicism for you there.) Right. I have an essay to write and it's 4.28 am, so you'll excuse me.

it occurs to me I should say, that I've more or less gone away. I didn't really mean to, but it happened nevertheless, rather like the way the first sentence rhymed. Still, I check messages occasionally, and talk shit about Winchester College, so tell me if you think my writing is magnificently wise or appalling shit, or if you take vigorous issue with my assertions- though all these things feel like they were written about a million years ago, by someone else, so I may not be able to exert much will to defend them if so.
The rest of this stuff may as well stay, as a monument to taste past. I hope you're very well and lead as happy a life as is consistent with not becoming a cunt. For what it's worth, I still think this is a magnificent idea, and it's eminently possible that one day I'll start posting again.

I realise there is a tendency for departing homenode words to read a little like first drafts of lifetime achievement award acceptance speeches, and I apologise that mine does little to buck this trend.
With all good wishes, or love, or whatever you feel the appropriate sentiment is
