How've you been? Been keeping your New Year's resolution?
Gods, I pity your liver. Did the parcels you were waiting on ever end up arriving? How about those earphones so you don't have to keep borrowing listening apparatus? How's my new jacket looking these days, the awesome, baggy grey one with the long sleeves and hood? Did you ever wind up making that grind vest?
Do you own any more party shirts? Have they surpassed my current two in terms of loud-yet-coolness?
Now, some tough questions. I know you may not want to be reminded of these if you've, y'know,
failed miserably, but whatever. Suck it up.
Have you managed to get in shape at all? By which I mean, have you bulked up any? Does the vest fit you, or are you still a skinny little twerp with arms like twigs? You don't have to be some hulking musclehead or anything, but a little bit of size would be nice.
Made any new friends? Close friends, I mean; not people you just drink with occasionally.
Thrown any good parties at the house? Are you still living there? I think it's not so bad, it would be better if you had more money but oh well.
How about the tattoo front? Have you been able to afford any of those yet?
Did you get the knight on your upper arm first, or did you go with the forearm spider idea?
If you
have managed to afford more than one tattoo, that probably means the unthinkable has happened and you've acquired employment.
Well, either that or, even more unthinkable, you've stopped partying hard and spending money impulsively. But we won't go there. If that is the case, what job did you manage to get? I don't really have any mind right now, so whatever you say will surprise me.
The Book Grocer? That would be a pretty rad place to work.
And next, uh... what are you listening to? As I type this I am not currently listening to anything, so let me put headphones on.
...Ah yes, Altarsong by Druid, some good "proto"-doom. Thinking of buying their tape, did you ever get around to that?
What are your favourite bands at the moment? Lately I've been listening to shitloads of doom, as well as the Bennies and Dune Rats.
Not quite as much thrash/grind/etc as usual over the past week or so, not sure why.
*Some of my favourite bands at the moment are Hooded Menace, Un, Lung Molde, Bell Witch... looks of doom, most of it funeral.
I wish there were more Australian bands playing funeral doom. Who knows, perhaps you've started one to fill that void by now!

*This part was edited in a few minutes after the original post, just so you know.)Oh yeah, I'm very keen for that Mason+Harlott show in a few days, how was that? DID YOU SURVIVE?!
And did you end up heading up to QLD in February as planned? How'd that go?
How's things on the creative side of things? You made any DIY patches yet? I'm sure you're still working on your jackets, at least.
Got back into drawing? How about music, did you ever get around to acquiring a guitar/bass of some kind?
How about writing, did you do NaNoWriMo this year? No pressure if not, but have you written anything?
Like that dream you were gonna use as a basis for a story, the one with the vending machine? How about some poetry?
*Tried any new drugs lately? Can't really go into detail on the topic here, but what have you been up to in that regard?
Actually, I'll leave a text file somewhere on the computer for you to find, to ask more specific stuff. Go read it, now.Hope you're still having fun.*
(*This part was also edited in, a few minutes after the previous edited-in part was edited in.) Oh yeah, and what's your hair like these days?
Did you end up cutting it off on April 4th as planned, to double-bluff everyone for the ultimate April Fools? Or are we doing that this year instead? I don't really mind what you did with it. Straightening would be cool to try, might even get you laid even if you haven't gotten fit.
Did you ever end up improving your dancing skills? I think we've got potential there, y'know. Party potential.
Well, that's all from me. Hope you aren't dead. Party on, Self.
