Never mind the mess...

Hello :)

[reluctance]

How cynical am I that I saw your upbeat comments and my spam alarms went off? And yet... no apparent link for Russian video lottery mail-order bride Texas hole'em download accelerators! The nickname also was simply too well-considered to be randomly generated, and rang bells of recognition. But where from? Fortunately it was the key piece I needed to reintegrate my conception of you here with forays on Facebook and 43things and as a result, I can now say "Hi!" instead of "... huh?"

I like you

It is always nice to be recognised and admired for one's achievements and, well, being the swell person behind them. Certainly my expectations of it (and my ongoing minor internet celebrity more generally) have diminished since I tumbled off my throne in the e2 arena, but strangely even my discrete self-indulgent activities over at MobyGames and, yea, even 43things have managed to garner me some positive attention. (And then there is that blasted Britney Spears video, which -- filmed without my knowledge -- has been living a merry old life without me 8) So let me say that I am pleased and humbled that you have tracked me down (however easy I have made it) to share your regards.

let's date.

That said, while I would be thrilled to someday join you for a gallery crawl, hot beverage, walking tour and private Iron Giant screening should we ever end up in the same city... please don't taunt me like that from across a continent 8) I find enough to feel deprived of on my own without being reminded of the world of inaccessibilities beyond my present reach.

Maybe someday we could meet up mid-way in Kansas. (It wouldn't be the first time.) Until then, all I can say is: well met!
