I dont know about you guys, but for me it was a nice break.
No slush pile to face everyday and send back to the "authors" with hate
mail.
No kids messaging me thinking I am a boy and that they can kiss up to me by
saying they think i am "cool"
No need to baby sit the forums to keep track of which crap has to be
deleted
No monitoring the picture galleries to make sure people dont try to break
them again.
No need to respond to whining spazzing clueless 14.8s
But also and most importantly, No Bettie, No schiz, No Feral or Zero or Dom
or anyone else showing off thier ire and thier brains.
I missed you guys. I will even dare the slush pile and try for a new
multi-post soon
as soon as people get thier articles to me about the PARTY!!!! (hin hint
hint)

I spent most of the time while shmeng was down on a deserted isle. It was
nice, it was deserted, it was completely and wholly without shmeng in any
form, including electricity and hot water.
But I missed Shmeng, and when I got back, it was gone, and that was very
troubling. I've been checking it every day since I got back and now it's
hear again. And I remembered how irririating it can be, but also how
rewarding. I think maybe I'm more irritated that I realized as I feel a
wave of brutal honesty coming on. I'm glad to be back and see everyone
though.
And I really really want to hear about the Shmeng party I couldn't make,
especially the gooshy gooey converstaions, and sleepovers.

While shmeng was down I went to Rayce's gallery closing, Seattle Pride
Fest, a very crappy all ages club, and I applied for jobs. I also spent
much of my time playing The Sims and doing all of the normal house things.
I have also picked up exercising with Rayce and Litho. Also, Devin was
fretting about when the new server would arrive so I was keeping him
distracted and calm. Polishing is good.

While Shmeng was down I have been settling in Salina, Kansas, organizing
things, cleaning things up, and enrolling in classes. I miss the arguments
on the site, but at the same time, it's good to take a break from anything
in general for a while.

I got to visit Dolo and my sister up in Bakersfield, where the heat made my
feets and ankles swell to astounding proportions. Then, God help me, I had
to explain to my mother what a Donkey Punch and Dirty Sanchez are. It was
an exercise in the surreal.

while shmeng was down i was a bit worried that it would never come back, so
i spent most of time trying to find something like shmeng, i found some
good gothic sites in the process... but i can deffiently say ppl.... there
is nothing out there that even comes CLOSE at shmeng.... i missed shmeng,
but now its back so its all good!

PANICED.
Locked my self in a bomb-shelter, and checked shmeng at least every 3
hours. At one point I even began to question myself if there was ever such
a site and if it had all been a figment of my imagination.
... I missed you all. You're crucial to my sanity.

I tried to replace it by shaking babies which is always fun but it's just
not the same.

Try reciting dead baby jokes next time you do it. It adds a little kick.
