All right, kiddies -- I'm back on a mostly-daily basis. The thing is, my computer crashed (REALLY crashed -- like, started weeping and made death-moans...) while I was busily deleting MIDGET PORN (seriously...) from my hard drive. How the midget porn actually got ONTO my computer is God's own private mystery, although I suspect it was Jeff's doing.
So! In order to update regularly, I'll be using the computers on campus. Seeing as I'll be on campus every damned day, due to my masochistic schedule, updates will be frequent. Watch out.
In related disastrous computer-news, I will be reformatting the hard drive, which according to popular belief, means I will no longer have ANY of my old files. I'm not expecting any of you to, you know, FIX that problem or anything -- after all, it WAS my fault for accidentally deleting important stuff instead of just midget porn. But I am going to ask for your assistance...
THIS MEANS YOU!!!
YES, YOU!
If you would -- and I know you will, because you're good, good people, most of you -- PLEASE EMAIL ME.
Email you what, Helena?
Well, I'm asking you to email me, first of all, because in the process of crashing my computer (due to an incident with MIDGET PORN), I lost ALL of my address book. Duh. I have nobody's addresses, email addresses, names, phone numbers, birthdays, etc... Nothing. So. First of all, email me your contact information -- if I had it before, or if you'd like me to have it now. (And if I DO have it, I will send you postcards and other pretty things, I promise!) And,if you'd like a short essay question to go along with that, so you don't feel like a dumbass for sending a .0005K email, tell me about your day. Or your life. Or your significant other. Or your mom. Or your job, favorite band, best friend, pet kitty, drug of choice, current book you're reading (that's a good one!), or what I should write my next entry about.
EMAIL ME at the following address: belong@postmaster.co.uk I know, I know, it says UK and I actually live in the United States, but I liked that word "postmaster," so just work with me.
Be hearing from you soon?
(This is the sound of YOU, NODDING.)
Meanwhile, while I attempt to go find my new classroom, email me and then go look at EchoSiberia stuff. (My new article is up,under "Guest Columnists" -- but the rest of the site is better...*grin*)
Love and peace and all things warm and delicious...
