Any news on...?

[Gregory]

The site? Other projects?

Someone must be lonely to be wondering about this place. It historically has been quiet and empty with bursts of activity. I can tell you I won't close it, but it is on the low rung of my totem pole. Even if it was bustling it would be on the low rung of my totem pole. I've got ideas for the future, but not sure what direction I want to go in now. Maybe just something for the group that has stayed together here and if anyone from our past happens by they are welcome to join.

Anywho, I didn't ask in my other clever response, but how's your lady and you doing? How's she doing putting herself together?

[Gregory]

Ah, I was curious about your business. It sounds like you have it up and running yet I didn't hear much about it.

I just figured this site is what it is but I do get whimpery when you initiate Radio Silence. It seems "Radio Silence" is the general theme for me these days. I feel like I've been accused of something and the whole community is in on it save me. I'm personally vested in your success, though thus far it is merely intellectually I am willing to hear offers to contribute in a more tangible way.

Bonnie is surviving, it' a hill and valley ordeal but she's strong and she's committed to her goals. I have faith she will get this under control. She's been pretty happy lately. She set a target date for July 24th, 2011 for our wedding.

I'm purposely keeping Aberration and my business separated. I don't want a connection via "Google" or any other search engine between the two. I would think the reasons behind this decision would be easy to figure out. Anyways, it's alot more fun to see who has picked up on the clues over the years and is able to find me.

Surely you're as vested in your life and your Lady, Gregory. My energies are focused on myself, my life, and my errr...that "h" word..."happiness." You come across as waiting for so many things to happen. Perhaps this is why you have come up with this lil conspiracy theory of feeling you're being accused of something and the whole community is in on it save you. Don't you have enough on your mind helping your Lady get herself together so the two of ya'll can start your lives together? At this rate, I'll be someone's bride (Oh, that'll be the day) before you're the groom watching your Lady walk down the aisle. Really, my life is moving forward and what I wish to share with the community, I will, when I want to.

If Bonnie is committed to her goals and so are you, ya'll will each get to where you want to be. You should be working with her and not fussing over me. :þ If I were Bonnie and read this, I would be a tad bit jealous. She wants to be fussed over, I'm sure. I guess I get to "save the date" again for a year.

[Gregory]

I see your point. Still, it's odd that you would take such an approach to your business, it seems almost elitist. But if it's successful then it's all good and I shall not bother sluthing for it.

Bonnie's good with everything, it's not like you or any of my online friends were ever a secret. I'm this way for alot of people, it's so easy to be nosey though I like to see it as being vested in people's lives. Would it make any difference if I vested more into my own life? I don't think so, life's pretty good and the outlook is good too. Remember, this takes up about an hour a day, the rest of the time i'm working, having fun and living life with Bonnie and hanging out with my Brother, and ofcourse improving my health which has been going very well.

Though you may not have directly challenged me into getting married I will still accept it and I will get married before you do. heh.

It's some great advice I've been given. I don't want sales from friends and family at first and then nothing. It can give you a false positive that you actually have marketable products and make you lackadaisical in your work ethic to hone your products. People one knows tend to be biased towards your success rather than reality. Anyways, I'd rather have someone I've known for years one day say "You're the creator of that!?"

If your relationship is all good and healthy with no secrets then it would be natural for her to know about all of us. You couldn't take my teasing. :þ Well, if you need to make it a challenge you're free to. I guess, if you're vested enough in your life that you're content about it then that's enough, right? If you're not content then you change it. As a friend, it shouldn't matter how much or lil I share.

If you're wondering, I got through the first graphic novel you sent me. Three more to go.

[Gregory]

You were kidding? It looked you were dead serious. Not sure why you would joke about my foundations in my relationship with Bonnie so I took it as solid advice. Remember, assuming I can read into your comments would signify that I know you like I used to a decade ago, you've changed quite a bit over time and as you can see assumptions fail me and frankly I really shouldn't assume at all.

That does sound like good business advice in terms of sales, but I was thinking about social networking, not buying.

I hope it's good. I really should read it myself someday.

[Moon Princess]

I meant you couldn't take my teasing about me ending up married before you at this rate. :þ You went and made it a challenge. I wasn't joking about your relationship at all. I was quite serious as you thought. I may have to separate each of my thoughts to one liners since my paragraphs confuse you.

I wouldn't expect to be exactly the same person I was a decade ago. More accurately a dozen years ago...thirteen come next year. I was sixteen/seventeen way back in 98. I've figured myself out in the past few years. I know who I am and that's what matters.

I started the networking thing before I even started making anything. There's no shortage of ways of doing such. The handmade community is quite supportive of each other.

I still haven't touched the second book yet. I'll keep you updated on my progress.
