Huh? Who's this guy? Oh yeah, I remember him...

Hey there!

I haven't been around in a while. I apologize for that; things have been, well, kind of weird. But I won't get into that.

I'm back, and I've missed you all hugely!

But, just in case, in my absence, you lost track of what your host looks like, or just who this weird long-haired freak is anyway, here's a reminder:



Above, we see your humble author pictured in a small, vaguely unsettling third-floor room above a gymnasium inside a high school in northwest Indiana. "Stormdog!" you may say; "I knew you were talking about going back to school, but I didn't think you needed quite that much remedial education!"

Well, perhaps I do (you should see me try to do algebra!), but that's beside the point, for this school is no longer serving a student population; it is entirely abandoned.

Come with me, along a trip through high school memories. Other people's memories. And I promise; this time there aren't any bullies to steal the book you're reading, tell the teacher you smell and get you sent to the nurse's office, or completely isolate you from your peer group and make your life a living hell for four years. Or was that was just me? Anyway, onward!
