Well like they say, "like father, like son," seeing as I've been thinking about everyone I know here too. Always glad to hear from you and everyone else, Lv. Best I can say about how my life's gone since the wiki became dormant is, well... I guess it's gotten interesting, and not necessarily in a good or bad way. It's mostly been a lot of little things that have stacked up over time; some good, some sad, and quite a bit have been painfully stressful too.

While I haven't been as active on the wiki as I once was roughly... how long ago? Maybe a year? Holy hell... Anyway, despite that, I do still lurk as an AWC nearly every day, considering this wiki has been so important to me for nearly a decade now. And even recently, I'm trying to hang out on the chat a bit more often, just to see if anyone else is willing to drop by and spend a little time with me like in the gool ol' days. I really do miss socializing on a daily basis with the Ship of Fools community, and I guess this has been my attempt to try and rekindle that old spark we all had.

And if I were to give an opinion of the wiki's current state, I suppose I'd say it's looking pretty bleak, grim and depressing at the moment. I mean, for most of us, it's the middle of summer, a time when the wiki and chat would normally be buzzing with activity, and yet it's dead silent for weeks on end. That bums me out a lot; even more so knowing I'm a part of the problem here. I don't want to say the wiki is in the process of dying, or that it's gone dead, as I don't want to give up on it too soon, but it sure does look the part right now. In the pit of my gut, all I can think of is that everyone has most likely given up on the wiki or lost interest in it. Then again, for those of you who know me well, you'll know I'm usually cynical anyway, so that sort of response isn't too shocking.

Anywaaay... It's cool to see you again, buddy. If your content warning is anything to go by, I'm not entirely sure if your story may be my cup of tea; though I'd also feel bad if I didn't at least give it a try, considering you've always been such a close friend of mine, and I'd love to offer you my support. So for now, I'm a bit indecisive. Guess I'll have to sit on it for a while, before I come to a decision.

On a final note, if you're ever up for a bit of Ship of Fools nostalgia, I'd recommend looking up the history of the pages here, as well as going over older blogs we've all made in the past. It's a lot of fun, and could offer a few laughs too. I had a blast seeing what we were all like back in the day, so I figured if anyone else is interested, I'd suggest giving this a try some time. I admit though, some of the stuff we used to do is sort of embarrassing from time to time, given how naive we were back then. But still, if you ever begin missing your nakama again, I find going over some cherished memories is just the right cure for that.

I miss ya a lot, Lv, as well as everyone else we know and love. Thanks for everything you guys have done, even despite some conflicts we may have had every now and again. Just know I still think of you all as my close friends, and that I keep you all in my thoughts whenever I think back to the wiki. Best of luck in everyone's endeavors, and I hope life treats you all well. Otherwise, I'll have to find a way to kick life's ass for all your sakes.
