yes, I am still alive

[eor]

No, I'm not dead. After returning from vacation I was hit by a whopping case of gout which made reclining the only semi-comfortable position. Reading and sleeping were the orders of the day. I did them in profusion with a smattering of moaning and complaining thrown in just for flavour. I'm feeling much better now and I'm able to sit at the computer for short periods, though I won't be running any marathons yet. Sorry I haven't been able to interact. I'll attempt to spam your flist today and get caught up.

*points to music* I wish I could dance, this makes me want to flail like Kermit. YAAAAYYYYYYY!
