I signed on just now with this sense of retreat, this shame, like I was returning to some familiar vice due to the horizon not turning out quite as intriguing as I thought it looked. However, I saw that I had nine views today. Some of you are in Russia and could be using a translator right now to read this post because it looks so interesting.... Actually, you probably know more languages than me and can speak better English than I can. (Sorry, little Russian friend, whoever you are! :) ) But just knowing that there are still people checking up on me--though I've been largely mute over the last two months--was encouraging for some odd reason. So thank you, so much. You made me feel like the retreat was welcome and that my absence was missed. You all are awesome, whoever you are. :)
Okay, enough gushy stuff. Honestly.
There is a point where one starts looking ridiculous, by the way. I don't know which braid was the one that just put it over the top, but uh.
