Hello again, Idz! I’m glad to see you once more; how was your missionary/humanitarian work?

Swag! Longtime no see. The trip was really good, and now I'm back to the American grind. How have you been?


Well, school starts again in two weeks, and it's an odd feeling knowing that by this time next year I'll be in university; I left NS for a few months out of shame and fear that I was overly annoying, but NS is like the Hotel California, and you can never truly leave (Unless you're DOSed.). I've been trying to keep my mental health issues in check, and I've been re-evaluating my previously overly-draconian approach to ethics (For I previously followed moral injunctions, such as "Obey the rules." to the absolute letter without understanding the spirit of dignity and benevolence towards one's fellows that said injunctions were based upon...). All-in-all, my life is okay.

I've been back a little less than a week, and I left NS in late... March, I think?

I do believe in your excitement, you've missed the point of my post. I am not a holiday rodent. Nor a winged dental kidnapper. Nor a papier mache candy prison cell.

Last weekend I gave suggestion for my gramps that I could do semi-"permanent" ethernet cabling to their apartment because
A) so they could connect their new PC with wire to the internet
B) it might increase value of apartment when it eventually gets sold
C) I'd get to work with my hands.
And gramps was like "but next owner might tear it down anyway".
Who in this day and age would tear it down. lol
But I guess that's possible.

I can safely say that without the invention of a jetpack that is not something I have to worry about.
