I’m on a new account but does anybody remember me? The only other name I remember going by is Oldfag Sparkles. Must be four years since I left.

What’s happened here, where’s everybody at? Verbatim, Challenger, Psy, Cheat? What happened to this place?

Well, according to my actual my profile I was last active October 2017; that was when I came back for one shitpost after an extended hiatus. So, yeah, four years or thereabouts since I was consistently active.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
Good to have you back. Recently returned myself, so have a lot of other people I guess.

I don't support Trump; I was hoping Sanders would win the Democratic primary.

I think that was foolishly contrarian of me and I'm struggling to not hide in the convenient refuge of claiming to have been ironic.

Name is familiar, but I don't remember much.  That usually the case for me with most people.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
hey you, you're finally awake

Why support someone who would push you in a forced labor camp?

Ignoring the sheer unlikelihood of that, I’m British so I have distance anyway.

What’s the skinny on your writing, at the moment/over the last four years?

What’s the skinny on your writing, at the moment/over the last four years?
as far as my novel goes, the pen has officially made contact with the paper, and as you would imagine, the quarantine has given me ample excuse to work on it more than i ever have—which makes me feel like a gross opportunist, but whatever

i'm at a point where i can play the entire story out in my head like a movie from beginning to end—it's just a matter of getting it all down on the page, which is easier said than done, but relatively speaking, i'm making headway on it

but i'm also pacing myself—a lot of writers will tell you that you should write even if you don't feel like writing, but personally, i think that's an extremely unhealthy way of looking at it, and a good way to burn yourself out, or to start resenting your passion

if i don't feel like writing for a week, i don't write for a week—i'm looking at this as an artistic endeavor, not a commercial one, so there's no sense in rushing if all i want to do is tell a good and meaningful story

i'm also trying to come to grips that it doesn't have to be perfect, and that not everybody has to enjoy it—in fact, it's my intention for it to be somewhat alienating, but comforting to those who absolutely need it

it's a tricky process and it might take me all summer yet, but i appreciate your interest

frankly, nothing has held me back more than college has—enrolling to my university straight out of high school in 2014 was the single biggest mistake of my life, but it'll be all over in just one more semester

I relate to that final point but wouldn’t say I regret it. University has without doubt killed a substantial part of my motivation to read/write things which are fictional, or even just non-academic. That being said, I’m not sure 18-year-old me would’ve invested that time much better anyway.

I’m hoping that the transition to doing a PhD and thus research-based work rather than content-loaded modules will give me the space necessary to pursue some more creative endeavours.

How has university been for you, overall?

shitty, although that's mostly my own fault

because living on campus is too expensive, i have to commute—and since i don't drive, i have to take public transit, which turns a 30 minute trip into a 75 minute trip, every single day of class, both to and from campus

i haven't learned much of anything, and although some of my professors are nice, a lot of them are cunts

i've made no new friends, and i haven't made myself a part of any clubs, orgs, or fraternities—i typically just go to class and then leave—all the friends i did have are out of state, and don't use social media, so it's been rather lonely as well. virtually everything i do is punctuated by the notion that i'm just wasting my time and money

so yeah, it's honestly been quite miserable

although, like i said, most of that is my own fault—i just can't be fucked. too depressed, too anxious

the best thing i can say is that my experiences here have provided a goldmine of inspiration for my writing
