Until next year...
Posted Aug 24, 2003
Meh. Today, in my timezone at least, is the 24th. School starts tomorrow and, as has become somewhat of a tradition of mine with h2g2 
, I'm going to have to leave... again.
As far as I can see, I won't be back until next summer, because I'm going to be at school between now and then, and I'm going to be away from a computer during winter vacation. I'll see if I can get me madre to let me on here at weekends, after I finish all of my schoolwork, but don't get your hopes up or anything.
Anyway, one thing's for certain: I won't be sub-editing for a while. I've asked Ashley to take my current entries inhouse, or reassign them to someone else, because they don't deserve to be rushed through the Editorial Process. My batch is great, and I'd hate to mess up on the sub-editing.
If you need to contact me, it'd be a good idea to e-mail me, rather than putting something on h2g2. Sure, leave the goodbyes on here, but if you want to contact me in the future, robertwall AT phreaker DOT net is the place to do it.
So, I guess this is goodbye for a while. I'll miss you, h2g2. Sure, I have some problems with the editorial policies, but apart from that, this is one of the best sites I've ever had the pleasure to work and play on. There are so many people that I like on here that I'm not even going to try and name you all. Thanks, to all of you, for making my life happier by your actions.
I'll be back, sometime around June 5th, 2004. This time, I'm not randomising my password, and fully intend to come back on here and start posting and sub-editing again. This isn't 'goodbye', more like 'see you later', with an unfortunate emphasis on 'later'.
Oh well. I'll make an extra-special effort to beat everything that school throws at me. I'll be back, people, and you'd better be here to welcome me 
!
Until next year,
Will

Ten days to go...
Posted Aug 15, 2003
Okay, lemmie see. School starts again on the 25th. From that date until the start of Summer Break 2004, I'm going to be on very limited 'net time. So, you guys have ten days left of putting up with me, because I intend to stop accessing h2g2 when school starts.
I'll write up a goodbye entry when that time comes. I thought I'd better let you all know in advance, so that you have time to let the shock set in 
.

lol
Posted Aug 4, 2003
Just saw a post that I made a long time ago, under a different name.
Having read it, I would like to officially announce that I am an idiot who refuses to follow instructions.
I'll leave the finding of that post to anyone who cares to do so; I'm trying to forget about it

Choices, and my Father
Posted Jun 2, 2003
What is it with my father? He refuses to let me make my own choices about things as basic to my life as religion, and gives the impression that if I disagree with him, he'll disown me.

Diana, Religion
Posted May 31, 2003
Despite all journal entries to the contrary, Diana and I are, in fact, going out. Well... maybe. She's `thinking about it', so we're actually not, strictly speaking, going out, but who cares about labels? We know how we feel, and that's enough for me. I'll leave the specifics to someone else.
Diana's perfect :D. She's the same age as me (well, eight days older ), she's funny, she cares about the things that I say, she's interesting, we have a lot in common, and enough differences to talk about. And... there's just this connection between us. When I see her, she smiles, and I smile, and suddenly my life is perfect too 
. The feelings that I have now are the most beautiful ones that I can imagine having. My life is euphoric right now.
I hope that this works out. So many other people have relationships that don't last, and I really hope that doesn't happen with us. If I had a God, I'd pray for us to Him. But I'm still too stubborn to revert (does `revert' have a positive interpretation?') to Christianity . It's not that I disagree with the Christian message, I just think that it's probably different from whatever God originally said. So... I'll carry on doublethinking about religion - being Atheist and some sort of Untitled Theist at the same time... I read Encarta's article on Mormonism a few weeks ago, 'cause Diana's Mormon, and I'm interested in such things anyway. Apparently, its founders had the same idea - that the Christian text were corrupted. I'm going to do some more research on such things, and think about them, and then make a decision about this. I want to be able to pin down my religious beliefs and say `Yeah, this is what I'm a member of'. It'd take up a lot of my time, though, which would suck, and my parents'd probably be even more against me converting to a non-Protestant Christian religion than they were against my Atheismness.
Thinking about it, I'll go check the 'net for some information about it right now...
Oh well... I'm still happy for me 
Robert
