I'm Back! My Back!

*gasp* Wait! *pant pant* I'm...I'm here. *deep breath*

Delays. Lateness. While there's most likely a cream for that, I do have something in the vague shape of an excuse. You see just over two weeks ago I took the next step in this whole growing up nonsense and moved out of my parents' house. Sure I once did the same thing at university but any student will tell you that it's a completely different scenario. Why does a change in location warrant blogosite neglect, you ask? It doesn't really, but up until a few days ago the flat (that's an apartment to you colony-folk) was without access to the webway. Shock! Horror! I couldn't social network. I couldn't watch videos of cats. I couldn't read my e-mails from a Nigerian prince. The world became a bleak and horrid place. Survival in this harsh wasteland of reality was an arduous experience at best. Every time I opened a door and was not greeted with an advert for online poker or some other less than savoury pop-up, I didn't know how to react. The postman was less than happy upon my enquiry into the quality of his spam-filter and muttered something about Sue-ing. I don't know who Sue is but she's probably a lovely person.
 The internet is in my home now and will continue to be as long as me and my room/house/flatmate feed it monies on a regular basis. The extra bonus to moving? New neighbourhood! New experiences! All this amounts to finding things to inspire new thoughts, musings, rhymes, ramblings and adventures to write about. The first of which was going to be right here and filled with pictures of wonderful people in amazing costumes being wonderfully amazing. I planned on heading to Thought Bubble, you see. The annual comic convention in Leeds was this weekend and I was going to dash through and get very trigger happy with my camera, until dark forces conspired against me and through some ancient magicks and vile curses, a muscle was pulled in my back, thus rendering extended periods of movement stupidly painful. Now it will be a whole year before that plan is hatched. But don't you worry, the muscle is on the mend and I'll be back to thwarting villains and upholding truth and justice sitting around trying to amuse strangers with words.

Stay sexy!
