"Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind" Which is by way of acknowledging that I haven't posted for a while. It seems inordinately vain to apologise for such a thing though; I prefer to assume that you're all going about your business quite happily rather than tearing out your hair and weeping at my absence. "Don't cry for me Sinister The truth is I never left you" And I didn't. I just haven't been vocal. There would never be any question of one of those 'I'm leaving, suckas' posts from me, because I can't do without you :) I am, I admit, a blogging type these days and there is lots of the usual drivel, unbounded by any considerate nods to 'content' or 'mass appeal' at http://archel.blogspot.com. I don't use ANYTHING as a 'dear diary' forum though, partly because I'm now ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED and I wouldn't want hubby stumbling on dirty secrets. Not that I have any (that's the other reason). But, just to prove that getting married doesn't mean I'm going to become a reclusive housewife, I'm going to have a BRIGHTON PICNIC! I'm toying with *Saturday 22nd February* as a possible date, but don't take my word for it. Expressions of interest/promises of cakes and booze will be greatly appreciated at this early stage. And lastly, a plug for my webzine. It's been all redesigned and made user-friendly and lovely, and I'm quite excited because I got to use some of my own html skeez this time. But I can't put the new version up until it has some brand new CONTENT to match the face lift. So, if you have any poetry, short fiction or reviews of ANYTHING, send them to submissions@buzzwords.ndo.co.uk. That would be grand.
