I've decided to stay on LJ, for however long. We'll see.

It's been a very long time since I updated with a comprehensive post, so I'll try to just hit

Sounds like you've been pretty damn busy for an crotchety old bastard. Congratulations on the Masters man, it's well deserved especially since your research sounds quite interesting.

I'd tell you to go up and visit Beloit once you're in IL but the last class of people you knew just graduated and Robbie finally got off his lazy ass and moved away. Still, there a ton of cool BSFFAs who have heard stories of the wonderful and angry old man that is Rookie, and there are a ton of BSFFAs in Madison. Hope to see you sometime once you're back in the midwest. Say hi to Caitlin for me. Take care Rookie. See you soon maybe.

thanks, lil' buddy. it's oddly satisfying to know that i live on in the Club collective consciousness, even if it's not as the most...flattering persona.
see you again sometime.

I mean just because we relay the stories of you as a crotchety old man doesn't mean they aren't cool stories. Like the dent the the ceiling.

[theljparadox]

yes, because slamming both my head and my ass into the architecture is precisely the kind of legacy i'd like to leave behind.

(actually it is pretty funny.)

1. Keep bein' on LJ. While we never really keep in touch, I do like reading what's up with your life.
2. I will visit you, and I will HAND YOU TEN DORRAH. With my hand. Because you had already moved by the time I got around to writing a check to mail to you. I still have that art you sent me, and I like it bunches, and feel the need to pay for it.
3. Speaking of your art, it is getting better and better. This pleases me.

[theljparadox]

thanks, fella. i'd forgotten all about those ten dorrah, but i will happily snatch them from you.

I <3 updates. Congrats on the Masters, the upcoming PhD, and the tuition waiver and crazy awesome future coming your way!

Also, your newest celtic knotwork? Is awesome.

[theljparadox]

many grazie. and similar congratulations to you, you ecological juggernaut you.

Your art makes me so happy in my happy place. And encourages me to doodle celtic knots in my notebooks during meetings.

[theljparadox]

that's...upsetting. but i'm always happy to encourage celtic knots to spread from person to person like an artistic plague.

[thegelf]

Upsetting? Clearly I did not word good last night.

Your art is awesome, and it makes me happy.

I used to doodle celtic knots in high school. I already had the plague. You just reminded me that I did. ;)

LIke everyone else, many congratulations for your success. It is much deserved.

How far we've come from those days I locked you in your room and threatened you with wrenches.

[theljparadox]

i remember that day fondly.

I have mixed feelings on that actually. It was kind of asshatty of me. Funny in retrospect, but maybe not a good idea.
