The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated · 11:08pm Oct 10th, 2014
Hello my readers caring and kind!
I'm not dead. Honest.
I have been unspeakably busy with work for a long long time and (sadly) I'll probably continue to be so for the foreseeable future. To make matters worse I've been having a bit of a... rough patch, let's say in my personal life. It's not been a fun few months.
However, I promise I'll try to post more things here[1]. There may even be a (short) story sooner or later. I just need to get on top of things.
[1] In fact there may be an announcement-sort-of-thing regarding that quite soon.
Wot? Dead? We already knew that. Yer a ghost, fer cryin' out loud!
Delightful news!
Glad to hear you're some sort of alive ghost -- sorry to hear you're having a rough time IRL, but I'm sure[1] you'll get through it!
[1] In the easy, impersonal way of an Internet acquaintance.
Don't worry about it, real life always comes before the internet.
We're all glad you're still around, but we'll also wait [1] as long as necessary, because your stuff is worth it. So stay healthy, stay happy, and remember we may be strangers on the internet, but we're here for you.
[1]Most of us patiently.
If you need a shoulder to lean on for emotional support, we are here.
What?! Damn it! Those bastards! I want a refund!I mean. I'm sorry to hear that. Hope things turn around sooner than later.
Good to "hear" your "voice" again. Looking forward to anything you choose to grace us with!
I was wondering where you went, Ghost! And yes, you have been missed.
Like, who's to entertain us with intellectual quips and occasional craziness if you're not around? Hell, I've started talking to the parasprite more than Bad Horse[1] since you've kinda meandered off into real life. The balance must certainly have been thrown off if this is the way things are.
Actually, para is pretty nice at times. But her political correctness is hilariously low. You get the idea.
Anyways, I hope you get over your rut Ghost. I do enjoy your wittiness, even if I do end up stumbling into the Ghost Circle unknowingly.
[1]This most definately is in relation to your absence
Ghost is alive! Wait. There's something wrong with that sentence...
It's always good to hear from you, Ghost. Sorry to hear about the rough patch--there seems to be a bit of that going around.
Hey-o! You li- er,,,continue to exist!
This whole rough patch epidemic seems to have gotten everywhere....
Don't hesitate to call, my email is always open!
Why do we never heard about people's deaths being greatly understated? I mean, glad to hear it was inaccurate, but I hope that if it does happen it'll be something that has world-shaking implications. Like your headstone will read 'cause of death: discovered FTL travel in his basement' or something equally amazing.
But yes, hope things smooth out for you in life. Hope the work stuff turns out to be good work stuff, therefor making it worth being so busy with it.
[1] Is it possible to hijack someone else's footnotes in a comment thread like this?
How can we be sure? You could be lying. This could all be an elaborate ruse.
I wouldn't put it past you. You're a clever bastard, quite right.
So we must see what you have to gain from this, then?
More views... quite possibly, but you aren't hurting for them. Your unique wit sees to it that you get deserved popularity.
Maybe you're just embarrassed? Yes, embarrassed that you popped off before your time... hrrm, possible. I'll have to consider that one.
All in all, I'm afraid I'm going to have to conclude that you are, in fact, quite dead, and that your typing has been slowed by the rigors of rigor mortis. In which case, we'll have to be extra patient for the upcoming stories.
Now I'm wondering if I should wonder that these things have to be said. I was just in a discussion about that in the comments on honeycomb's blog.
"Pardon me, but I should like to make a complaint."
"Yes sir?"
"There is no Ghost in my machine."
"Ah yes, I see you have the old Cartesian operating system. I'm afraid that's no longer supported. "
"What? But how can it operate without a Ghost? I need my machine, dammit!"
"Sir perhaps I could interest you in a Ghost in Shell."
"What, one of those Japanese thingumabobs?..."
It's OK, you're living your life, and why should you have to apologize for that? I'm sorry things have been rough for you though. Take time until they get better. If writing makes things better, great. If not, get better, then write.
Good grief you scared me with that title for a second! Phew!
Sorry to hear about the difficulties, Ghost D:
You've got friends and family helping to support you, right??
Good to know, especially as the new website seems to be lacking the last seen online functionality. New story? If you need a good prereader, you know where to go. Bradle and Bad Horse. But I'd be happy to help too if needed.
