h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This is my last journal entry on h2g2.

There comes a time in every relationship when you have to go your separate ways. All those little idiosyncracies which once seemed so endearing eventually become a pain in the profanity filter. I first noticed there was trouble in paradise when I found myself looking with an appreciative eye at other blog sites. Then--and I know it was wrong of me, but it just kind of happened--I began to commune with one on a regular basis. It started with a lurk, and now...

Sure, I've had dalliances in the past, but this time it seems--I was going to say serious, but really I mean something lighter, freer, less uptight than dear old Hootoo.

It's been a wheeze, but it's time to move on.

With love and fond memories,

Snailrind.


P.S. Thanks for all the fish.

I wondered where you'd been lurking. The tales from the frog pond were piling up without you even apparently doing chapter revisions any more.

Sorry to read this. I'll miss you, Snails

But good luck in your next project

Will you drop by and tell us about it? You might even come back, it has been known

I'm quite possibly not far behind you, Snailrind. I've enjoyed your journal entries and hope we'll meet again.

booger snaily, I just discovered your journals not long ago you have a loverly turn of phasing

hope to see you round the coffee lounge

or any other place you care to tell us where your writings will be at

I hope they appreciate you

Stay in touch now and again if you feel like it of course, either by e-snail or whathaveyous ~waves~

*Sigh*

Another one bites the dust. Can we at least all try to keep contact somehow, please. This is now feeling not just like losing your lover but most of your friends being swept away by a tsunami or something.

I must say, I'm gratified by how many people care about my departure. Jabberwock's emotional smiley breakdown was particularly satisfying to my hungry ego. The rest of you could have done a bit more wailing, but never mind, it's water under the bridge now.

"You might even come back, it has been known"

Yep; never say never. Here's the link to my new blog: http://snailrind.livejournal.com/

I'll be back here for the conversation (which is unsurpassed), but will reserve my journal entries for the eminently flexible LiveJournal site. So you'll still see me about. I couldn't lose touch with my dear Virtual Friends just like that! I hope those of you who are also leaving will let us know where you go to.

SEF, about the frogpond: I'd love another update. I got embarrassed about the fact that I'd only done two chapters of the book, so I decided not to mention it again for a while.

>>I'll be back here for the conversation (which is unsurpassed)<<

Aww, isn't she sweet?

Jab

Cut it out!



Get a grip will ya?

For shame.

I’ll miss seeing your journal entries pop up on my convo list, Snailrind. Hope it works out well for you over at LJ.

Glad you haven’t decided to completely abandon hootoo!

biggtin

I’m so distraught I can’t even type properly!

Enjoy the big world out there, and come back soon...

Awww Jabs ah was jest playin

*yeesh*

*chuckles*

...with the side of my head!

Still, I got a out of it!


Jab

After weeks gone by ,I've come back to so many of my favorite folks leaving





Happy Trails to you Snailrind!













I'll miss you

, !

I just started a Live Journal account not to long ago for other purposes. Serendipity!

""

Ah, how satisfying it is to have friends who weep an' wail!

"I’ll miss seeing your journal entries pop up on my convo list"

Would it be worth my putting a link on this thread whenever I do a new entry? (Assuming I am organised enough.) Speaking of which, I hope you write some more soon, Quixote. I know I haven't replied to your past couple of entries, but I did read them and enjoy them, and I pop over to your page now and again for a lurk.

"Enjoy the big world out there, and come back soon..."

Thanks.

"Happy Trails to you Snailrind!"

Thanks. abbi. Sorry I missed you today. Good luck with your treatment.

" ... Serendipity!"

I'm very pleased! See you on t'other side.

Although, the good thing about LiveJournal is that it's not necessary for people to sign up in order to post.
