Wanna know what I've been up to and why I'm so busy? Check it out.
If you've come here because you're wondering if Hot Damn 7 is going to happen, the answer is this: signs point to yes. I have no idea when though. It is most definitely NOT going to be over July 4th weekend because I WILL be out of the country for a good portion of the summer (June-July). I'm trying to work out an alternate date. Lastly, I have no idea yet about the what or where for the venue. But yes, it will happen.
I lied. HD7 will reappear in 2012 -- YEAR OF DESTRUCTION
Newbies are the next generation. They are not the devil. They need your patience and your kindness, not your scorn and derision. Without them, this place will die. This place will still be here when you're gone. Make sure there are people here to inherit it. Every new user you scare away through your rudeness on a power trip dims the nodegel and makes this place a little more bitter. ~Rimrod's sage advice in Politeness is always in order
Here are some important words for you about the community aspect of E2:
We become friends, enemies. Light a cigarette and talk til dawn. Drive twenty two hundred miles across country to run into each other. Fall asleep in piles in log cabins. Pub crawl in Cambridge. Delight in births, despair in divorces. And sometimes we move heaven and earth to keep one of our own alive. ~Whiskeydaemon
If you're curious, it's not the factuals that keep me here. Like someone else once said:
Write GTKY nodes, but make them worth our time. Write daylogs, but make them worth our time. Don't write for yourself... write to impress the person that thinks you are special. Write something that reflects your life, so we will know you when we meet you for the first time. Facts are fine, factual nodes are probably the most useful part of everything, but it is the personal touches that keep us here, so make them good. ~Hermetic
If you need me, try e-mail.
These have potential, some already may have one or two writeups in them, but the could be so much more. Fill these well and you will be rewarded:

So - you've been making love to me ten thousand miles away - how tantalizing.
You've been slowly taking me over for nearly a year, do you know that?
the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me
A strange and beautifully distanced unity
Can you see the tension piling on me in waves? Look into my eyes.
