tl;dr, or Lost in Farmville

It's been over a year since my last post here. Not sure if anyone's even still reading this, but, just in case . . .

I sort of gave up on things here, after having it presented to me on more than a few occasions that my writing here tends to be a poster child for tl;dr ("Too Long; Didn't Read," for those unfamiliar with what that means). So, after ( Read more... )

Good to hear from you on this side! I neglect Facebook almost completely, so I love it when folks post here. =D

Glad to hear about the new relationship! How wonderful! =D

Is it alright if the idea of boundary issues with cats made me laugh? I'm working from home today and just had Nicholas crawl up onto my chest, smush his nose into my cheek, and purr like a motor while completely blocking the view of my laptop. Nicholas + boundaries = does not compute.

That sounds so very much like Max, yup. It's funny when I play City of Heroes on Monday nights, with my headset on and half the group listening in on Ventrilo. At least once a session, the folks will be treated to, "No, Max. No. Nooooo. No, Max. NO, MAX. NMMMMPFH! Max, down!" At least he seems to have finally gotten the message that waking me up at 2:30 AM for kisses -- literally, he'll nuzzle and lick my lips -- and to sit on my head isn't appreciated.

As for Facebook, it did seem like most folks wandered away from here to over there, but it looks like some have wandered back this way, or to other blog spots. Most of them seem to be over concerns over the privacy problems with Facebook. What led you to wander back over this way, if you don't mind my asking?

I confess to being one of those FarmVille addicts. But I always watch for postings from friends. Still, for missives, I prefer here.

And it's not crap, either. It might be a Nemesis plot, however.

*grin*

Seriously, your postings are never TL;DR.

Aw, thanks. :) I just know that I can get horribly verbose, once I get going, and a few people have noted that they just sort of read the beginning, skim about halfway, and move on. Not the hallmark of interesting reading material ( ... )
