Best of luck! I don’t interact much, but your comments and posts have consistently been top quality and given me a lot to think about. You’ve got a talent for putting words to ideas I’ve only been able to vaguely grasp towards, so even as mostly a lurker I know that you’ll be missed, but someone’s got to do the hard work of raising the next generation’s posters.

Would love to give your previous novel(s) a try if you’d let me know where to buy them.

Thank you, I was going to say this is just a recycled Oli London storyline. This version’s ending is better than the original though, considering.

Local squirrel fills tree with nut, but not the good kind, like you want.

The remorseful ghost of a slave that is handing over the tissue box is shackled in a bizarre manner. What could Kelly have meant by this? The lack of label on them leaves me at a loss.

Imagine a world where IEPs included speech therapy. I can find a lisp or a stutter endearing, but I know for a lot of people it’s a huge source of embarrassment and social anxiety. If there’s a term for the manner of speech he’s using I don’t know it, but I have heard it a lot from almost exclusively guys, and most if not all seemed to have some difficulties with socialization. I’d be curious to know if there’s a casual connection either direction there, as I could see how having fewer face to face conversations, especially in early development, would make it harder to learn to produce the full range of sounds needed for speech in a natural and comfortable way. And how likewise having difficulty producing speech in a natural and comfortable manner would make one shy away from interactions requiring it.

I don’t want to play the nominative determinism game, but @stinky is a strong (ly scented) contender.

At least when I was using livejournal I had to learn to use some HTML to make my profile a garish eyesore. Part of me misses that level of customization, but maybe only because I didn’t bother with myspace so I didn’t see the hell that could become first hand. I find the uniformity of a Facebook or Twitter feed visually a lot more sterile and a lot of that has to do with advertising. My Facebook feed turning increasingly into ads or posts from pages I don’t follow has made it more and more difficult to actually use it to keep up with people–which is ostensibly the purpose–but until a decent competitor arises what else is there?

You’re right, I didn’t even catch the spelling error. I don’t know if that makes it worse or better.
