Reinfection

I'm back from my wonderful one-and-a-half-month break, which also ended up being a strangely satisfying break from the Internet entirely. So it's with a combination of mild fondness and much trepidation that I return to the fray - and of course, with considerable disappointment at the lack of interest in my blog as evidenced by the excruciatingly sparse commenting on the previous post (here's your chance then, since I only now realised the inane comment settings that were on, where only Blogger users could post; so now you have a brilliant excuse you can put to work in your comment. I would particularly like to hear feedback on the font/layout/formatting of the blog - if you read the blog, and the setup doesn't make you frown or cringe or squint, I will be relieved and won't bother changing it, otherwise I will truly take your comments into consideration. After this, I'll disallow commenting; though clearly it makes no difference!). I am very hesitant to resume my usual grazing of the world wide web, as I have put much in perspective over my brief break, and have experienced briefly the reality of living with a sharp and raw connection with circumstances rather than a leading an iLife - and really, there is much about this electro-social snare that I want to untangle myself from. I would like only to succumb to the screen when I can produce words of some worth, which may distil my experiences into emotions that send a current of understanding into someone else.

In other news, none of my friends missed me :) Ah, c'est la vie, non? Friends, if you exist and are reading this, sufficient reparatory measures can be made if you feign missing me and then give me a call, as
a) It's about time you blew the dust from that ancient device known as the Telephone and initiated contact with me through it (rather than gush to me about how you were meaning to do so when you're already on the line)
b) I have laryngitis. Haha, out-trump that excuse!

Take care all, I really do love you. In a sly and seething sort of way.
