I haven't been on the site in a long while because I haven't had any reason to; many of the people whom I most love following are either scaling down their submissions or never submitted much in the first place. The quality of the site seems to be slipping (I'm not going to bother complaining about the front page because it would be redundant at this point), and I doubt I'll be renewing my subscription. The Group I founded is basically dead, and there seems little point in continuing my presence on this site. The things I post attract perhaps two comments apiece; while I'm not here for publicity or popularity, I have no desire to throw my work into a void, either.
To the wonderful people I've met, however, I want to say emphatically that I do NOT regret meeting you, and I very much want to continue our friendships. To that end, I wish to post my Skype and email here, as well as my Facebook profile, with confidence that no one will find me on this site to spam or hack me. Anyway, it wouldn't be hard to guess.
Skype: Todd Parker
email: fakekraid@yahoo.com
Facebook: Todd Parker (look for the one with the same avatar as my profile picture here on deviantART
To my friends on this site, please keep in touch with me. It was wonderful meeting all of you, and I want to stay in touch. But, I will probably only visit this site every now and then, from now on.
How are you doing?

I do have a (marginally) better job than I did, so that's one thing, I guess. It's less strenuous than what I've been doing and leaves me with lots of free time. How about yourself? How goes your integration into "ordinary" society? (Am I remembering the right person? I seem to recall that you were returning to public school after some time outside the system, but I might be getting you confused with someone else)

Cleverbot: How large?
Me: As big as Ron Jeremy's.
Cleverbot: Really.
Me. No kidding.
Cleverbot: Really.
We were talking about my mustache, of course.
You're definitely remembering the right person. Things are going alright; I just missed a week of school due to having a stomach flu that ended with a sinus infection, so I'm currently freaking out because of all the work I have to get done and how behind I'll be getting back into things.. But aside from that, life's been alright. Trying to keep myself from spiraling down again, but as long as I keep myself busy things seem to be okay.

Actually, since we last chatted, I have:
1. Gotten a new job, one with loads of unsupervised down time in an office with no cameras
2. Begun a novel project, a better one than my last and one that it looks like I could actually bring to completion
3. Met Nobuo Uematsu, briefly
Yourself?

1. I barely remember my life, its been so unattractively hectic. That sounds kinky. I'm a grunt, currently making the money to spend on the unbelievably asinine process of joining the USMC.
2. I'm at around 150 pages on mine.
3. Oh. (wikipedia) OHHHhh.

Anyway, 150 pages is many more than I have.

It's been a while. I hope things are going well.

If you like it, suggest it for a Daily Deviation.
dA is for the literary arts, too.
Things are going...sort of okay, I suppose. I'm employed, which is good, and it's an 'Einstein job' (lots of down-time in an unwatched office), which is better. I'm back into writing again, which is still better. Yourself?
