Some snippets from my chatterbox and message inbox life:
2002.10.10 at 21:36
Starke says And I'm sorry, but I don't think this conversation can go anywhere, as I strongly disagree with the things you're saying.
2002.10.10 at 21:37 Starke says The unpopular should go. Power to the people.
And more recently, reproduced here to make you drool as I did
Imprecation says Ha! Rubbish! World champion indeed. (/me swirls glass of 15 year old Macallan.)
The loves of my life:
My wife, son number one, who was born in January 2000, and our not-so-petite baby boy (Born April 2003).
Why do I do what I do? Because Everthing2 is a wonderful, exciting world that should be explored by all. I'm no poet or creative writer. I hold such people in the highest esteem, but I am not one of them. For whatever reason, my passion comes out in my life, my friends and my family; I can't put it down on a page or on a screen in such a way to satisfy myself. Perhaps I'm just a poor writer, someone who loves words but can't craft them worth a damn. Maybe those are the cards I've been dealt. However, what I do do well is write what I know. Thus, the large majority of my w/us are factual in nature. So be it.
Unlike many other long time residents of E2, I haven't built up a massive following of friends. I have chatted briefly with many people, but my w/us generally go unnoticed. The people I have dealt with are: Hexter, my mentee Splunge, Gritchka and momomom. Peace to you all.
You can always reach me online by email (/msg me first, and I'll give it to you -- I already get enough spam and don't need to be harvested again, thanks) or by AIM (pimephalis)
I've been playing with the ekw themes, and this is the result. I call this "plum pudding":
