OMG, you're back! I've missed you in my google reader the last few months...!
Yay! You're back. Been a while...
Holy shit! You're fucking back!
I too have been an absent blogger (although not quite as absent as you!). Hope you don't mind that I stole this to ease my way back into blogging.
Welcome back, I look forward to reading new posts!
Gawd, you're so well read! I've only read half of these, mostly for school. Will shut up in future discussions about Literature.
Home, Sweet Home
(1)
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home!
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere,
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home!
There's no place like Home! There's no place like Home!
(2)
I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild,
And feel that my mother now thinks of her child,
As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door,
Through the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more.
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home!
There's no place like Home! There's no place like Home!
(3)
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain;
Oh, give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again!
The birds singing gaily, that came at my call---
Give me them, -- and the peace of mind, dearer than all! ！
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home!
There's no place like Home! There's no place like Home!

Oh christ I fail this meme so hard. Maybe I should steal this meme and post on my blog. Or maybe not, since all 4 of the people who read my blog probably read here and will have seen this comment. Eh.

Hello friend,
My name is Darshan and I am the author of a delicious GK blog The SciTech Journal (http://thescitechjournal.blogspot.com/) I find your blog interesting and hence this idea hit upon my mind: Are you interested in link exchange on our blogs? My blog The SciTech Journal, you see, is unique one and holds good potential. I'll put your blog link in my blog roll and in return you do the same form on yours. In addition to getting us SEO advantage it might add value to our visitors as both our blogs are rich with unique content.
Write to me if you think the same way about it :)
Thanks and best regards,
Darshan Chande
Hey, I have a friend who is a physicist that is looking for funny girls to date. Do you live in the midwest?
