Wow, it's been a while hasn't it?
The long absence doesn't appear to have made my heart grow fonder: I seem to still be as obnocious as I've always been, and although I don't have anything particularly interesting or eloquent to say, it's entirely possible that this rant will last far too long. In fact I think it probably has already if I'm honest, so I'll stop soon.
I think it's fair to say that I have some venting to do, but hopefully next time around I'll try and add something more positive as well; I am meeting a very dear friend on Saturday, which should be fun, and maybe I'll attempt to rustle up a poem as a reward for the few masochists left who are reading (please, stop torturing yourself, there's the whole internet out there, you don't have to be wallowing here with me).
