So in the course of actually uploading things the last day or so, I felt nostalgic and hunted down my old account, which I'd stopped updating around, ah. Six years ago.
I wonder where I put all that unfounded confidence--I could use any confidence at all these days, and the shit I did so long ago seriously didn't deserve it. Alas. It's a little weird to read your own posts and go "...who is this person?" but I guess time does that...
Ah well. Such is life.
