Well, I've never truly been gone. I was merely lurking for an extended period of time.

I suppose you're right, though.

Slowly gaining the confidence to return to the old writing grounds...

I actually made sure to tag people I thought least likely to follow through with the meming. You were probably the one I was most hoping to provoke to posting. Glad to see you back.

I opted for Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

I've been wanting to read the Jeeves and Wooster stories since reading Alan Moore's take on them in the latest League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That show looks good, too.

Thanks. Strangely, I was in need of provoking.

This can be rather difficult, but there's a wonderfully organized list of the stories, novels, and common collections at the Hat Sharpening Shop (a site dedicated to Jeeves and Wooster).

Project Gutenberg has a lot of free Wodehouse writing here. The Jeeves and Wooster stories are fairly obvious, though Jeeves Takes Charge can be found under A Wodehouse Miscellany, a couple are under Death at the Excelsior, and the easily missed Extricating Young Gussie is under The Man with Two Left Feet.

And that is quite enough for now...

I'm always happy to oblige in that regard, when I can.

Thanks, I'm eager to read them and it's nice to know I can get them for free. But I need to finish reading War and Peace first--there've been too many novels I've started reading this year that for various reasons I had to put down. I'm determined to finish this one.

I've been worried about you you know! Where have you been young lady?! lol. Im glad you're back hun. Its nice to see some creative spurts from you here and there since we don't get to speak often.

If you're interested, I've got a DJ gig at the rave Oct 25th opening for Shiny Toy Guns. I know money has never been one of your secure areas so don't you worry about that. I'll take care of it. I'm supposedly getting backstage passes too...if thats true I'll see if I cant save one for you if you'd like :) It'd be nice to see you again and mean a lot if you could see my first performance.

Sorry to have worried you. If it's any consolation, I've been neglecting to speak with all but a few people who either live with me or visit often.

Congratulations on getting the DJ engagement, and thank you for the invitation. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to weather such a large gathering of people and sound. But I wish you the best, and will be thinking of you.
