Rumors of my er. . . demise. . . have been greatly exaggerated. I had a busy couple of months. I had surgery, got married, went on a honeymoon, and since then have been working the opposite shift of my new husband and have been trying to make a routine for us. However, we just got our DSL installed at home, so I should be around more often. Also, I start working day shift in a few weeks so things should calm down then. :cross:

His last post was August 4. A two month absence means he is definitely MIA.

Just in case he is lurking out there, here's a small :poke: to let him know he's been missed.

I miss Lucimay and Creator and Damelon and Syl...I even miss Murrin and I didn't really talk to him much and...well...who else? Sorry if I've forgotten other important people (but it's hard to remember you when you're never around... ;))

I know you guys are in the Tank and WoW thread sometimes but...

COME BACK TO US!!!!

Sea misses you. :(

Murrin's been around in the Erikson thread, and so has Luci lately. I just saw a Syl post hereabouts today. Creator, now...*there's* a guy who has disappeared. Unless he's only posting as Madadeva or whoever in the Pantheon threads. :(

I'm pretty sure that's right, he seems to post mainly on one of his many alter egos these days.


I'm still around, Sea. I just don't really have a lot to say.

Hi Murrin! :wave: Hi Damelon! :wave:

Thanks for stopping by! :D

I know that Lucimay etc hang out elsewhere. I want them to hang out where *I* hang out! :biggrin: I've only ever been to the tank twice...and I stay out of the Erikson forum because I've only read the first two books. Anyway...I'm just going to stalk everyone until they come back! :)

You're one Erikson book ahead of me, Sea. ;)

You know where to find Lucimay. Hop on that druid and play WoW! :lol:

8O OMG! 8O Two sightings in two days! What's the world coming to! ;)

I know I could find Luci in WoW. If I had the money I might just seek her out! Although, to be totally honest, I wouldn't even remember how to play WoW!

kelleta and dray the guild mommy and daddy will TEACH you how to play that druid!!!! heh. (we've mostly moved all our toons out of the watch guild and into Legacy)

i'm here sugar. i check in here every single solitary day to see if you've posted or left me a message saying to get on skype! YOU didn't respond to MY last response to your last pm!!! :P i thought i'd said something wrong and irked you!!! :oops:

and yeah, in light of the utter and complete failure of dukka's latest attempt to get an actual discussion going in the tank rather than the usual "you're an asshole - no you are" jousting (which i think belongs in the insult swordplay thread, which is btw hilarious!!) i am just avoiding the tank altogether. so sad. i used to really enjoy going in there and reading the differing viewpoints and learning stuff.

and yeah, creator is mostly posting under madeva's user name.
he too can be found in wow.

so yeah, most usually i'm posting in the erikson threads cause basically all i do anymore is play wow and read erikson (tho there was a brief weeklong hiatus to read diana gabaldon's recent publication in the Outlander series and excellent btw for you gabaldon fans.)

now i've started the erikson series over at GotM and am going to faithfully read each and every book in chronological order (ooh remind me to get Night of Knives back from Jenn) all the way to Dust of Dreams.
i swear i'll read Deadhouse Gates again. it was, i suppose, the one book in this series that i just couldn't bear to read again. it affected me that much. i mean, who wants to experience the Chain of Dogs twice, ya know?? brutal, just brutal.

in other news, tho i didn't go to school this semester nor work on the lit mag (just couldn't take another semester of watching everyone flounder around with their heads up their bums and pretend they knew what they were doing and not listen to a single bit of practical advice) cara baker, a girl who was in my poetry class DID brave the lit mag and is the poetry editor and has prevailed upon me to submit and to come, this coming sunday night, to Hotel Utah (a bar/cafe known for it's open mics) and do a reading in support of the magazine. so i'm going to read sunday night.
that'll be fun. i haven't done a public appearance in a long time.

and so...thats what i'm up to.

i am working on an outline for the purgatory story and have transcribed
my notes (writ on napkins and matchbook covers and such) to an actual document and that has helped quite a bit for me to see where to go next on the story.

i can't bring myself to work on my resume and actually look for a job yet.
i guess i'm burnt out with "compromising myself for the man" (as my friend tandy would put it) and i just hate the thought of trying to convince someone that they want to hire me.
altho i do have an idea about doing my resume that should make that a bit easier to do (an hopefully more humorous) and should give potential employers a good idea of whether or not they want to interview me. if i send this resume out and people actually respond to it, then it might be a place i WANT to work and it will be easier to go to an interview without being so damned nervous.


anyhoo...thats what is goin on in luci-world.
now you're all all caught up! :D

hugs and shit!
you're more advanced than a cockroach,

Luci: Don't forget to get NoK back from Jenn. ;) Wish I could be there for your reading -- I bet you'll rock! (Echo in the Bone is next on my list to buy for the Reader once my paychecks get back to normal, which will be end of this month, whoo hoo! :) )

I'm back a bit. I'm flattered that anyone noticed me gone...came here to see who wasn't around, and saw I was missing.
