Just married!

Posted at 16:00 EST

Despite my having disappeared from the AW scene I thought maybe the ones of you that know us from back then would like to know that CathBran Niall, who moved to Germany half a year ago and I got married today. Without AW, we would never have met, so we owe a lot to this place. Very happy greetings to all our old AW buddies from both of us!

I am BACK!!!!

Posted at 17:00 EST

... I still cannot believe it myself... but yes, after almost one year's absence (has it really been THAT long?) I am sitting at my computer, being finally back online again and being finally able to come back here. But first of all Happy New Year to all my old AW buddies. Maybe you have not forgotten me entirely...

A Short Sign of Life

Posted at 08:00 EST

Sorry folks I have to come here for a few seconds during work and rant… I thought I could be back here long ago but the Telecom managed to screw up my DSL application twice! I moved to a brandnew apartment in August and for some reason my road is not listed in their directories. And without a road listing your application just happens to disappear in Telecom Nirvana. So I am still waiting… and waiting… and waiting… and as I cannot really come here during work unfortunately I cannot contribute anything. Also I can hardly write any private emails from here. It just sucks big time!

For those of you who still have vague memories of me, yes, I am still alive and kicking (doing very well actually) but miss you guys!

Lacrimae

Posted at 06:00 EST

Flow my tears, fall from your springs,
Exil'd for ever: let me mourn
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.

Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled,
And tears, and sighs, and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.

Be still my bleeding heart

Posted at 04:00 EST

Care that consumes the heart with inward pain,
Pain that presents sad care in outward view,
Both tyrant-like enforce me to complain;
But still in vain: for none my plains will rue.
Tears, sighs and ceaseless cries alone I spend:
My woe wants comfort, and my sorrow end.

Hello Folks, a quick note to my friends since I am currently not able to write everybody directly and personally... Looks like I am going back to fulltime work from May onwards, now all I need is to find a place to live.....

De-Scribed

Posted at 23:00 EST

Well, here I am, retired on my own request, but what good is it to remain a scribe when you cannot really serve the community? I am glad though I am having those few days this week to be here and say goodbye to my friends personally. What comes next? I do not really know, but still I feel better than I have felt in a long time. So, no need to worry about me.

Back on Track - somewhat...

Posted at 13:00 EST

OK folks seems I have not been here for ages! That was not really a planned absence but I have been in a car accident early in January. Actually I was pretty lucky because although the vehicle was totalled, I was not! But got my head banged fairly hard so bear with me if I am a little slow at times ROFL! Apart from that I am very gradually adjusting to life in the US. People are all really really friendly here but I have still not recovered from the shock at how much money you have to spend on groceries and other everyday things...

Groups - finally!!

Posted at 17:07 EST

After all that recent activity - Goldfest, NOLA, the scribal issues - I am so happy finally being able to deal with something I had to neglect for too long - GROUPS! We have a wonderful variety of groups in Germania and they - the academic ones in particular - deserve to see more activity. Often it does not take more than a handful of posts to stir activity, as we can see very nicely at the example of Angelcynn. I hope with the joint efforts of the Germania group leaders, scribes and our Venerable History Consultant, we shall see a similar effect in the other groups soon.
Also, beginning today, each week another of the Germanic groups will be featured at the central section of our city page.
And then I finally decided to upgrade my own patronship - and that means I can finally join all the groups I have been looking up with wistful eyes. Yes, of course I could have used some of my alternate IDs, but I feel much more comfortable about being myself all over the place...
