I have someone come in for tank maintenance. As large as it is, it would be something I'd lose interest in if I did it myself.

I believe many of us are planning to attend a chat on Friday evening the 25th, not only since it has been so long that we all congregated, but to mark All Hallows Eve. I will be there at any rate, so if you miss chatting, note it on your calendar.

Yes, isn't it amazing how human I can be? Fortunate that you see that side of me for as much as there is that side there is also, and often more prevalent, a side that is just the opposite. Mortality has it's pull still, and perhaps that is what saves me somewhat and doesn't leave me in a permanent state of cruel indifference. I have to say that when I think of it, I hope the lingering love for mortals never truly leaves me at all. I would miss it, and for certain, it would make my nights far less enjoyable.

PS: Be sure you're using the right server for the chat room. Information on that in the chit-chat section of our board.

I probably did get your mail, who knows. I'm mostly careless about answering them, and it's truthfully the same thing with letters. I can let things pile up for years if I'm allowed to be so lazy. Fortunately, Louis usually comes along scooping and sorting through things. You're doing well with your studies then? What are you pursuing, if you haven't told me already, which you probably did. As for the book, I can't tell you when it will be let out in Australia, but I'm sure before then you'll be able to hear all about it. Miss me some more. I like it.

'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity

Shall you pace forth; praise shall still find room

Even in the eyes of all prosperity

That wear this world out to the ending doom.

So, till the judgment that yourself arise;

You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.

Mm, yes. I pace forth, most often unthinking and damning the consequences. The judgment that I arise, well, I've already risen a few as you know, and I've survived them. Someday there might come a judgment I cannot withstand… perhaps even my own. Yet until then, dwelling in a lover's eyes is a purgatory I'll not refuse.

Now, if you're looking at this then you are breaking your vow off of technology, so I'm not telling you what I'd like pictures of. See for me the sunlight hot and high at the midday, and that will be enough.

So here I am. You miss me so much that you whine and pout like a little girl when I am gone for a few nights? Hm, you know as attractive as that is Cherie, I will and do tire of it. I like to be missed, but believe me when I say I can be quite rude if my freedom is poked at. It is worthwhile at times and amusing to sit here and communicate with you all, but I'm a volatile creature to say the least. Still, it does mean something to me to see your message, saying too that it means much to you when I do this thing that allows us such discourse. .
