I'm going away, and I'm not coming back.

Well, to be more accurate, the version of me that has been here for the last couple of years -- the goofy, snarky, silly, absurdist version of me -- is leaving and leaving for good. I'll still be here, I'll still post, but don't expect any humour from me anymore; from now on, I'll be here what I am in my personal life: serious and humourless.

I've tried treating almost everything as a joke to cope with the emptiness that is my life, but it isn't working, so I'm not even going to bother with it anymore. I'll try not to be too morose or pessimistic around here, but aside from that, don't expect any pretense of chipperness from me anymore.

Wow. Now who's panties are twisted, eh?
Calm down man. You said something some didn't like. So what?

It's not that. At least, it's not the main thing. Too many things are getting to me, now -- my home life, the weather -- so it was only a matter of time before one thing or another finally laid me flat.

Maybe I'll feel better eventually, but right now, I just don't feel up to playing things silly anymore.
