Dear Diary..

Ok, so I figure this site has been taken off everybody's homepage, and people usually check the site once a week, just to make sure nothing new has come out (Other than Dom). I can't help but feel like part of this is my fault, I'm not trying to fill my ego, it's just that I know that I've neglected the site, and as part of the community, I've been a pretty shitty neighbour.

Recently I got ADSL connected to my house, I love it... the ability to download por.... stuff in my room is awesome. I think it's also a reason for me to spend more time on the internet, as i can now be on 24/7 (This is new to me, let me vent). I want to try and breath some life back into my beloved SE, but I guess I can't do it alone.

One of the reasons I left was because I was sick of the constant snide remarks and general bitchiness of everybody (myself included). I don't want to see this site turned P.C, but it would be nice to be able to make a spelling mistake and not be insulted by several different people. A community has all sorts of people in it, including the occassional asshole, where's Ursula when you need her/him/it.

I guess I could go into a cheesy speech with triumphant music building in the background and a flag with Justin and Dom on it flying in the background, but that's stupid and I'm trying to be sincere. I don't want to lose contact with all of the people I shared so many good times with last year.

Let's see what happens from here.

SE will always be bitchy - no doubt about it.

Personally I think where we went wrong was not enough news. Like some vicious cycle, a lack of comments was leading to a lack of news was leading to a lack of comments etc. Also, I had some strange idea that news had to be news - something I got over by looking at the archive.

Rather brilliantly, the recent slump was completely solved by moi posting random crap. Thank you, thank you [bows], you're too kind.

So yeah, that's where we went wrong. That, and in getting on a ship - rattle around, &c. &c., movement contained within a larger one, &c. &c., inexoribly.

Ok what exactly does that last line mean??
Chicken
he's just practicing his ampersands.

I actually was a few weeks back: ampersands are pretty important for Philo 102, and it's only when you sit down with a pen and piece of paper that you realise you don't actually know how to draw one.

And &c. = etc. Duh.

Ten points for the reference in that paragraph. Sam, if he was reading this, would be disqualified.
Dominic
Damn. I couldn't find one spelling or grammatical error in that whole news piece. What has S.E become?

Nah, just kidding. Dom, some of your news posts, have been so random I've ignored them altogether. May I ask, what you have been smoking? Perhaps people driving passed your house and beeping at 10:30pm on a Wednesday on their way to bowling has ruined your composure?

Just a thought.

Yeh, who would do something stupid like that...
Chicken
andi, i've turned into an asshole. you don't want to know me. not to say that you did last year.
canuckboy
Mmm, casserole.
chrls
no, i said asshole.
canuckboy
We all heard casserole, and that's good enough for me. Yeah you are an asshole, but it doesn't really matter...
Andrew
mmm sass-her-hole.
