“Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. Therefore, there is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, the only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it."

-Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

Who am I? I am a grizzled old RP veteran, a master geek and incurable video game addict of the "RL Gril" variety. I have roamed the vast stretches of internet fandom, gotten sidetracked by something shiny, and now returning to these roots because it will always be a part of me. I have fractured and fragmented my personality a hundred times over and a hundred times again, all in an attempt to understand every facet of my Swiss cheese mind. Now, recently defragmented, I return.

Why? Because there are things left unsaid.

Do they need to be said? That's the wrong question. The power of "need" is a false idol. Don't be taken in.

I am here because I have chosen to say them, which is infinitely more powerful than being enslaved by some half-baked "need". Just like I don't "need" any of you. That's right, I said it. I don't need any of you people. Your opinion of my work here will impact nothing of what I do. It has already been vetted and deemed acceptable by the only opinion in the room that matters: mine.

But my seemingly insufferable arrogance does not diminish the inherent value of your words and thoughts. So please, don't hold them back. Share them. Make them heard. They will be seen.

Welcome to my little mind-world, children. I hope you enjoy your stay. In the event of an emergency, please exit to your left.
