So... I'm back. Not really sure why, but here I am. It'll be interesting to see how many people notice at first.

To get the update stuff out of the way, school proceeds apace. It's looking more and more like I'm going to be able to pull some strings and pull off the tutorial I want to set up, albeit with different faculty sponsoring me. The tutorial in question addresses the place of song lyrics in the context of poetry, and how (or if) they can be placed in that category. Right now, this tutorial seems to be the springboard for whatever my Plan ends up being, so the fact that it might work is a happy thing.

I'm still changing in a number of ways that are hard to define. I look pretty much the same, and as far as I can tell my mannerisms are still at least similar to what they've been (although I've been infected with the Southern Vermont slang term "sketch," which indicates something out of place, suspicious, creepy, or otherwise, well, sketchy). I don't know how different I appear and seem from the outside; I feel different, though, and it will be interesting to see how that affects other aspects of my life.

So, anyway, it looks like I'm back. Updates will follow; I don't know how frequently, but I will write up here from time to time.
