Waah shirr maygoren.

There is something faintly odd about the entire concept of blogging. Here these words exist on some far-out edge of the internet map, yet still easily accessible via google for the wanderers to find. Here are these words-- that might've been previously completely cut off from the majority of the world mainly because they're personal or because in general I'm not a loud person-- out in the open. Or quasi-open, as it may be.

Something is even stranger that a part of my growing up process is documented (now mostly left to the internet archive for the bulk) online, in a way that makes me feel some mixture of naked, exposed, vulnerable, bewildered, with a twist of amused.

I guess all of this it to say that for reasons not to be written here, I've taken a little hiatus. (As if you haven't really noticed.) I'm even not entirely sure if I'll ever really return from my hiatus. (Of course, you could point out that by the mere posting about being on hiatus after being on hiatus, breaks a bit of the hiatus cycle.) Hell, I'm not even sure if anyone will notice this note, except me.

The only reason I would ever come back is because of the silly stories that end up adding up and slowing falling out of my brain if they aren't actually written. Everything from the crazy moments of living in a crowded place (like the crazy guy who followed me to my door yesterday and offered to do things to my toes), to the amusements, escapades, and frustrations of life and work. Hell, I'm having a hard enough time right now trying to keep Chinese words in my mind and I'm going to be in an all-Chinese speaking world in under two weeks.


In the end, I guess I miss a certain part of this but I'm not sure if that is enough to bring me back from hiatus.
