I'd been, um, indulging in certain substances, as people will do, and I was feeling a little brash.
I made a smartass remark in the chatroom regarding the requirements to get an avatar.
Suddenly I felt an overwhelming feeling that I'd crossed a line and made myself look like a fool. I logged out of the chat room and didn't come back that night.
The next weekend I was still feeling stupid, and I skipped the shows. I don't know why I felt so embarassed, but I did. I was afraid Marsbar would say, "Oh, there's Mak, remember last week when he made an ass of himself?"
But it's hard to stay away, and last night I couldn't resist any longer, I had to tune in.
So what's the first thing I hear?
It's our host saying, "It's a good night to get destroyed.... roll up a fat one..... fill up your glass..."
It made me feel better.
But seriously, I've been doing this net thing for a very long time, and I think keyboards and substances don't mix. It's not something I'm comfortable with.
So DM, if you're listening, hear this.... you might see Mak lurking in the chat room from time to time, but he's trained himself to resist all urges to post something. He's a lurker from this point onward.
Trust me, it's better this way.
(Truth is, the guy can be a bit of a prick when he gets drunk, he should have stuck to w... oh, never mind.)
Oh, and many thanks to RR and the others who've said hello, I love y'all.
