“–come up screaming”

October 16, 2006 44 Comments

It pains me, it really does, to go back on my word. Even (especially?) a word spoken in the heat of pious repentance. But the search for a more suitable venue goes slowly. And man does not live by bread alone, but by every word hammered drunkenly out onto the interwabs at 2 o’clock in the morning.

So, here I am again. In lieu of a new and improved blog free from the entangling snares of pseudoprivacy, I offer this promise to myself, with you my remaining readers as witnesses (both of you): every post from here on out on this journal will be public, without exception. In the unlikely event a post turns out to be unsuitable for a public audience, it will be amended or withdrawn entirely.

Also, I offer these somewhat less rigid intentions: no political blogging unless it involves extended original thought of my own (i.e. no off-the-cuff ranting on current events). No whining unless balanced by an even greater quantity of blessing. And ongoing coverage of my quest to build a real home on the web, so I don’t get too comfortable. Feel free to call me on any of these if I start falling into old habits.

Welcome back, friends. I’ve missed our conversations.

      Re: Nice to see you again

      Thank you. It’s nice to feel uncorked.

    I’ve got a nice bottle of beer I brought down from Connecticut to split you.

      Mmmm, beer. Next time I see you remind me to look up my notes from the MD Microbrewery Fest.

        I’m not sure if it got to you, but I’m pretty sure I told Stacy that we found a place where you can buy a decent variety of unique beers by the bottle. It’s called Quick 6 subs and if you get off Mt. rose and goes towards the city it’s only the left about two blocks after Tom’s.

          Yeah! I told him. 😉 Last word on that was he is eager to meet this place you mention.

    wait, now there are 3. And I thought I was a special part of “both”.

    DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA, attitude and insecurity!

    Didn’t take long did it? :>)

    My distaste for politics needs to be reflected in my also ignoring it, methinks.

      I keep hoping if I ignore it it will go away.

      Your icon is proof: Hobbesians are just asking for trouble.

      1. tricstmr October 16, 2006 at 19:05

        true…

        but they are truly hardcore.. 🙂

      Malodorous slattern!

      1. autophanous October 16, 2006 at 20:08

        I demand a jew vs. womens showdown.

        1. avdi October 16, 2006 at 20:16

          And where do you plan to obtain the womens for this matchup? I have it on good authority that you are in fact a 300-lb guy named Phil from Des Moine.

          1. autophanous October 16, 2006 at 20:19

            I have some lady friends who write to me weekly while I suffer the hardships of incarceration.

    *hug* Nice to hear from you again. 🙂

    1. avdi October 16, 2006 at 20:06

      *hugs back* thanks 🙂

  9. princeps1978 October 16, 2006 at 19:22

    Woohoo! I hope this means that I might also see you sometime soon.

    1. avdi October 16, 2006 at 20:07

      I’d love to. What evenings are you free?

      1. princeps1978 October 18, 2006 at 18:54

        Most every evening. I normally work 6a-2p.

    *flying tackle* Welcome back!

    1. avdi October 16, 2006 at 20:37

      *oomph* Ow, I think you bruised my ovaries.

      1. aquae_gaia October 16, 2006 at 22:08

        Teehee :c)

        I’m glad you’re still around…missed you!

  11. strahd414 October 16, 2006 at 22:07

    Yay! Avdi is back!

    Even though I don’t see you very much anymore, I always enjoy reading your posts!

    1. avdi October 16, 2006 at 22:22

      I always enjoy plugging my laptop into your giant ****ing monitor. Thanks again 😀

  12. aletheia_speaks October 16, 2006 at 22:22

    *SQUEEEEEEZES*

    I MISSED YOU!!!

    1. avdi October 16, 2006 at 22:38

      Aww. I never stopped reading, and I’ve tried to keep up with your entries, but I apologize for not being more comment-ey.

  13. ratspy October 16, 2006 at 23:56

    Yay!

    Whining has it’s place. It’s good that you added in the “unless” part.

    1. avdi October 17, 2006 at 14:34

      Angst is better expressed than repressed, but it’s all too easy to substitute public pity for constructive action.

      Your comment reminds me, I meant to email you after the last time I saw you at Ascension. I’ll try and remember what about.

  14. ashanden October 17, 2006 at 05:07

    i miss you to man.

    1. avdi October 17, 2006 at 14:42

      How are you doing? Did you get the email I sent you about R.A. Wilson?

      1. ashanden October 17, 2006 at 16:42

        i did, and i have no i dea who he is, hehe.

        1. avdi October 17, 2006 at 16:49

          He wrote The Illuminatus! Trilogy.

  15. chibitig1 October 17, 2006 at 05:18

    you live! sweetness:)

    1. avdi October 17, 2006 at 14:44

      Hey, I was just thinking of you. I was transferring archives from one PC to another over the weekend, and in the process looking at a lot of old chatlogs, and I realized “Dude! I used to talk to Kat a lot!”

      I think I can safely speak for Stacey as well when I say: we miss you!

  16. razerwolfe October 17, 2006 at 13:35

    Rant on, young man! Rant on!

    1. avdi October 17, 2006 at 14:49

      Ah, but what shall I rant on?

  17. avdi October 17, 2006 at 14:41

    Re: /wb
