It's time I re-learned the art of writing. Or learned, as the case may be.
How about a piece of prose which doesn't have sentences ending with multiple punctuation marks? Which expresses what I want to say without needing 'emoticons'. Which contains, for the most part at least, words which can be found in the OED.
Something I wouldn't cringe at some time in the future.
I seem to have forgotten how to write like that. It took a minor blast from the past, a rediscovery of an old blog, to remind me that things were different once.

Whose old blog was it?
I remeber the first time I found N-S and read through all the archives...something about your old writing really got to me. :)
Ask the AC for the more embarrassing details, if you like! :D
Sometimes I think people write rubbish more often when happy than not.
*remember, dammit!
I always do that!
You stole my thoughts. :)
And Dear Ms. Tangled, what embarassing details are you referring to?
If you don't remember, I'm not saying a thing.

@pricky : hey, nice to see you round these parts.
@T : mine. or one of them, rather.
Looks like I've missed out on some interesting stuff, thanks to AC's comment.
Damn.
