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

You might notice that I haven't been posting as much lately- and what I have been posting is riddled with snark.

There is a reason for this.

I am nervous. I am frustrated. I am standing at the edge of a very large cliff, and I'm slowly losing my footing; half of me wants to jump to see if I can fly, and the other half just wants to turn around and run back as fast as I can.

I am in the final stages of analysis of my thesis.

I graduate in August.

And I haven't even started writing!

I consider all of you my friends, and I don't want to hurt your feelings with some caffiene and frustration fueled meaningless sniping. However, if I stay on hootoo while I'm in these last few months, the chance of that happening is going to become very high. So, I figure this is as good a time as any to announce that I am taking a little vacation- actually probably closer to a sabbatical, because I'm going to be working like a - but in any case a break for your safety and mine (because I don't want to get banned)!

I expect to be posting regulary, and even writing again, around the end of April. Trust me- you won't want to be anywhere around the stressed-out monster that I'll become in the next few weeks. But if you do feel the need to get in contact with me, pass Reefgirl or Rev. Jack Russell a message- they'll make sure I get to it. Or you could always visit me and read my rants on LiveJournal. I'm angry_geologist.

So long for now, and thanks for all the !

take all the time you need and come back when you're ready, we'll be here and waiting

I've known you through Hootoo for a couple of years now, and you always manage to pull through despite God's best efforts to get you down. Go, Scan!

Feel free to pop by any of my web spaces and hurl abuse at me

Take your time tinker, we'll be here, waiting for your return, and I like to think that " Young Rocks = Young Volcanoes" so "erupting" once in a while is "do-a-ble"

Very dear Scandrea,

Good on you for taking this decision to disappear and put onto paper all the knowledge that you have been soaking in ever since I have known you. .

I know - I have been there!!. And once you have settled down and started putting onto paper everything that you have done in the geological world, all thoughts of Hootoo will disappear and you will be "flying " with your knowledge.

BTW don't feel obliged to come back until you are finished. Or is April the D day for handing in your thesis? Don't bother to answer this question. Put your head down my dear friend.

Much affection

Christiane AR1

But isn't this just the place to spout frustration? Friends who care, happy to be angry with you, against the infuriating world.
