So I imported ye olde blog into ye new WordPress doohickey, and presto! I had a massive amount of pointless posts all there, taking up space just like they do elsewhere on da internets. ^^

Then I was a-thinking to myself: 'Self, do you really need all that junk there? There might be embarrassing details from lives past, or at least stoopid little posts about nothing!' Seeing thereupon that my lovely self was right, I proceeded to begin a most righteous Spring Cleaning of the mess I'd just made.

In the process, I found all kinds of things that I'd forgotten about, including the LJ of someone I used to read almost six years ago because she and another co-hort had a lovely li'l web comic called As If! (Warning: much 80's goodness, well drawn and stuff). Well, come to find out the co-hort has a book now, published by TokyoPop.

I don't even really know these people, and I'm proud anyway.

Just goes to show I've been groomed to work with web comics folks for a looooooooooong time now. ^^

Speaking of which... I should be getting back to the Gigcast soon. Four weeks left until I graduate, and, due to somewhat unforeseen circumstances* I won't be PhD-ing just yet.

* of an academic nature, which will be expounded upon later. Suffice it to say, the faculty didn't agree with my decision to go on just here, just now.

I can get secretly mildly irritated for misspelled words (even intentionally misspelled), but I like it when it's spelled "stoopid." It makes me laugh.

It's kinda weird to go back and realize the stuff I used to write about on livejournal 6-7 years ago (and the people I used to be friends with).

As I explained to my dearest one yesterday, 'stoopid' isn't a misspelling so much as a different term: stupid is one thing; stoopid is another. ^^

And yes, reading the archives from early 2001 has been an eye opener, and no mistake. I really did treat my blog as a journal in those days. I do that to some extent still today, but I don't throw off dinky one-line posts about how stoopid my ISP's being. ^^

Hope the obstacle is something easily overcome.

I appreciate that. I'm going to write about this later, so more information will be forthcoming. I'm still a little sore about it, though, and I want to, well, not say anything ugly.

Sounds like a lot of beating around the bush, I know; but I'm just not quite ready to publicize it yet.

Thanks for the good thoughts. They do help. ^^

Glad it at least helps a little.

It does. Any positive thought helps counterbalance the negative ones. Works for me. ^^
