Tomorrow I begin school.

Today is my last day of freedom. I shan't be around much anymore, if I know what's good for me. You distract me too much, though I do love you all. Yes all of you. Just by being part of this site you have earned my love. Just by existing you have it.

I am looking forward to none of it, only the prom and the end. Oh, and art. For art my two-thousand word essay shall, probably, be on architecture and evolving styles and maybe I shall see if I can connect that to the fashion of the time. I don't know. My first practical piece shall be on the gods of the Underworld, including the Riders of the Apocalypse. The second shall be on people and the human form. They may or may not include nudes. I haven't decided.

I don't want to say that I shall not come back until the final exams are over, but I may have to if I come here too often. That said, you people, this place, is excellent to come to have a non-school related discussion, or to read non-school related things. My friends are great, but during school we are consumed with school and so talk mostly of school.

Due to my definite forced abstinence of fun, I hope that you have plenty. This is not goodbye. This is just a "so you know where I am, but I shall still lurk".

Have a good year.

Day 6654 | Day 6665 | Day 6750

There are some times when I wish I could put a digital tagline or disclaimer on all my works. Sure, putting something in my homenode is one thing but not so many people see it there as they would if it were on all my writeups. Not that I want to do anything 'cute' like put quotes in there or or pictures or any of that crap you typically see on internet forums. Something more like "If you don't like it, you don't have to read it asshole" or the ubiquitous "Fuck off". Perhaps this is part of the transition from the I-crave-approval-please-upvote-me type of noder to the I-write-what's-worth-writing-sod-off type of noder. To be honest, something like that would probably take away from the uniqueness of E2's community.

Some things really do bother me about this place though. Not anything big, just small niggling things that strike me from time to time. For example, hardlinks that are only a part of an entire word. Say for example only hard linking the regular present tense or only the singular part of words. Isn't that what pipe links are for? It may seem anal retentive (which it is) but seeing a word in two different colors with partial underlining--much like a menstruating woman falling off a tall building--breaks flow.
