Hey Obi! I was just wondering the other day
what became of you! Welcome back!

Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi!

That sounds hilarious if you say it out loud.

While you were out, SCers would come and go, and whenever one would return, a great "huzzah" would ring out, and then at least one of us would say, "But ObiJo's still not here." It's true, man. You can look it up.

LadyJ? You were gone?

Oh, hohoho, I am a jokester. Truth is your absence was also conspicuous, and things are beginning to look right again.

What others say about boorite!

Plus Deisel's back. Hurrah!

Hardly an admission to be proud of...

We all did, Baz. We all did.

Yeah, but I saw tons of lttle yellow stars, and hadn't read the other post, so I didn't notice then.

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

I think coming after everyone has left is an automatic loss in the Biscuit Race... you'd be munching that soggy biccie for sure...

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

When exactly did you show up? This is the first post of yours I've seen in a looooong time. I was curious when you didn't have anything to add to that tattoo reltated thread a while back. Where the hell have you been? Did you get a life when we weren't looking?

Maybe this will help explain things...

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

Welcome back OBI!

Wow, thanks all. That was sweet. I missed everyone too except for those of you I don't know, and even then, I missed the promise of you.

Truth is, I've been getting my shit together. I've lost 75 pounds, quit smoking, and am being treated for ADD. The latter has been especially helpful, since my mind now isn't wandering tangentially all the time but can actually concentrate, allowing me to finally TRULY enjoy the pleasures of Porky's Revenge, Benny Hill, and the History Channel. (That order.)

Sounds good to me. My semester just ended, so my calendar is blissfully empty for 3 months. There is that vegas trip, but it's from the 11th - 24th of June, so the timing works out well.

Boy, there are a lot of beautiful places within a couple of hours of Phoenix, but one stands above all: Sedona. People come from all over the world to see its red rock mountains. It's also supposed to be one of the top 5 chi-centering locations in the world, which leads to the interesting blend of Arizona's archetypal old-west stores next to healing crystal shops. They also have a beautiful church built right into the red rock mountain side. Lots of restaurants too. In the negative column though, it is right at the 2 hour mark you mentioned. (If you do go to Sedona, you have to stop by Jerome. It's about 20 miles away if memory serves, and is a little artist community built on a hilltop. The road is windy and steep, but the view makes it worth it.)

I made an appearance in the ASCII thread.

I didn't get a life... I just needed a break from all these internet commitments - lists, boards, groups, sites, etc.

I'm gradually taking it all up again, but I'm taking a permanent break from a real-life commitment. Sam and I broke up.

So, between trying not to let my personal life impact my work performance, apartment hunting, and trying to sell my magic cards so I can afford rent&deposit (I'm disheartened by the lack of interest in the old cards. I felt certain they'd be worth more than they are. *sigh*), I'm afraid I can halfway pay attention.

I am a delicate fucking flower. https://beacons.ai/jesskent

Thanks for the tips, Obi. I'll look into Sedona and Jerome.

Sorry to hear about that. For what it's worth, we still love you.

Countdown to DexX hug: 5...4...3...2...1...

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Nah, she has received all the hugs she is getting from me over that issue, after God-knows-how-many hours on ICQ talking relationships.

Even so...

That's what they all said about me.

Sadly, they haven't seen you going, either.
